Neighborhood Guide
Serene and upscale, the Gramercy Park neighborhood was named after the elegant one-square-block park of the same name created in 1831. Its clean streets stretch from 20th Street until the start of Murray Hill at 34th Street, and are bordered by the East River and Park Avenue. The townhouses around the park, built before the Civil War, are among the oldest and most outstanding in the city, and many tend to be handed down through the generations. Gramercy’s a highly desirable neighborhood for those seeking classic architecture and proximity to fine dining and shopping.
