Hilton Grand Vacations<\/a> will open its fifth property The Central at 5<\/span>th<\/span> by Hilton Club in New York City next year. Steps away from Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, the Theater District, and 5<\/span>th<\/span> Avenue shops, it\u2019s a prime spot for an upscale, urban timeshare.<\/span><\/p>\n

Timeshares also continue to be a cost-effective way to own a part of a vacation rental. <\/span><\/p>\n
