Gramercy/Flatiron District
Approximate Boundaries
Northern/Southern Borders: 30th street—14th street
Eastern/Western Borders: The East River—Sixth Avenue
Unlike its Southern neighbor, the East Village, Gramercy is a quiet enclave.
This neighborhood—one of Manhattan’s oldest residential areas—continues to date to exude the sort of calm and safe sensibility, that one would more commonly associate with a gated or insular community.
This is due in large part to its namesake, Gramercy Park, Manhattan’s last privatized park as well as exclusive retreat to the residence surrounding its borders (save for the first Saturday in May).
Convenient access to scores of public transportation, as well as the presence of many notable eateries, office spaces, and great shopping (particularly in the area’s most Western portion, the Flatiron District), make Gramercy an ideal, though to be fair at times costly, place to call home.
