Gramercy Park

281 Park Avenue South is in Gramercy Park, a quiet, well-to-do residential enclave brimming with brownstones and upscale apartment buildings, fashionable restaurants, buzzy bars and stylish hotels. Tucked between East 14th and 23rd Streets between Park and First Avenues, this historic neighborhood is anchored by the iconic Gramercy Park, a private park open only to residents residing in the exclusive mansions that surround it. The park was designed by renowned architect Samuel Ruggles and is an oasis in the midst of a busy city, featuring lush foliage, beautiful sculptures, and picturesque fountains.

Historic Streest, Modern Convenience

This charming neighborhood is known for its beautiful tree-lined streets and historic architecture, drawing a diverse mix of residents ranging from students and young professionals to families and retirees. Restauranteurs such as Danny Meyer and Todd English have set up shop in the area, and while the nightlife is on the tamer side, there are still many fun bars and lounges lining Second and Third Avenues. It is no wonder that this centrally located neighborhood is one of NYC’s most coveted locales. There are also numerous transportation options. The entrance to the 6 train is directly outside the Property entrance at 22nd Street and Park Avenue South, and the R / W trains are located one block west at Madison Square Park. Additionally, the 14th Street / Union Square transportation hub servicing the N, Q, R, W and L trains is within a 5-minute walking distance. For those traveling by car, the FDR is easily accessible just a few blocks to the east.
