 GRAMERCY PARK  

This area surrounds Gramercy Park, after which it was named.  The park is one square block in size ad is fenced and locked.  Only residents of the surrounding buildings have keys to the park.  The park is reminiscent of a quiet London square with an air of elegance that sets the tone to the neighborhood as a whole. This is one of New York’s most historic and urbane enclaves.  

The area is well known for its large pre-war buildings as well as its post-war high rise apartment buildings, many with doormen. Scattered throughout are low rise buildings and brownstones which line side streets.  Gramercy Park includes many restored homes throughout the neighborhood.  The neighborhood is currently being transformed with new commercial establishments, restaurants and shops.  

Valued for its charming streets, and filled with synagogues, churches and schools, shopping and places for outdoor recreation, Gramercy Park is becoming a great place to set down some roots.
