Gramercy Park:   This area surrounds Gramercy Park, after which it was named.The park is one square block in size and 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 for 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 prewar buildings as well as its postwar hi-rises, many with doormen. Scattered throughout are low-rise buildings and brownstones that line side streets. GramercyPark includes many restored homes throughout the neighborhood. Valued for its charming streets and filled with synagogues, churches, schools, shopping and places for outdoor recreation, Gramercy Park is becoming a great place to live.            Back to neighborhood info
