Neighborhood Guide

Midtown East


Midtown East runs from 42nd Street to 59th Street on the East Side of Manhattan and from Fifth Avenue to the East River. It encompasses the Turtle Bay area which extends between 42nd and 53rd Streets and eastward from Lexington Avenue to the East River. Turtle Bay is the site of the United Nations Headquarters and offers the quiet calm of tree-lined streets and welcome relief from the city's commercial roar. It also includes Sutton Place and Beekman Place, small enclaves along the East River that have some of the finest architecture in NYC.

 

Midtown East features everything from plush new condominiums to the most traditional brownstones. But most of this neighborhood is filled with luxury buildings, many with views of the East River. Midtown is a bustling business center by day, usually leaving the streets quiet after 6:00pm. Popular with many new college grads and young families for its safety and convenience, Midtown East also includes many long-term residents and owners.
