Our Top Gramercy Park Moving Tips
Located downtown and closer to the East River than the Hudson River, the neighborhood starts at 14th street at its most southern thoroughfare and goes north all the way to 23rd Street. East to west, it spans from Third Avenue to Park Avenue South. A number of happening spots are nearby, including Greenwich Village, East Village, Flatiron District, and Murray Hill.
Before making the jaunt beyond the bounds, you’ll want to become better acquainted with this prestigious park area. Here’s a few details worth learning more about:
- Exclusive greenery. The whole neighborhood seems to be artfully draped in plant life. However, there’s a specific part that’s only accessible for a select few. Spanning two acres, Gramercy Park is one of only two privately owned parks in the city (the other is located within Sunnyside, Queens). Keys to the gated greenspace cost extra for residents who are able to access them. In fact, there are said to be fewer than 400 in existence and can be between $1,000 and $2,000 to replace if they are lost. Many of them aren’t even owned by residents; for instance, some co-ops own them and rent them out to their residents. These keys are so exclusive that there are new ones made each year to reduce the risk of having them copied and handed out to other people (or taken as souvenirs). And there are rules, including: no dogs, no smoking or drinking, no riding bikes, no throwing frisbees, no and playing sports. But, if you don’t have a key to this private plot, the park is open to the public for one hour each year on Christmas Eve (December 24) — so mark your calendars to grab a peek.
- Park-side eats and drinks. From historical locations to award-winning cuisines, this neighborhood has a spectrum of flavors to try. For those aiming to fill up on the freshest produce, look no further than Friend of a Farmer. Since 1986, the menu has been situated within a warm interior that transports you somewhere outside of the hustle and bustle of the city (perhaps as you sip on a cocktail created with homemade juices and syrups). Another spot that’s a must visit is one of the oldest operating restaurants & bars in the city, Pete’s Tavern. It’s been continuously open since 1864! Those hoping for an upscale bite may venture out to one of the neighborhood’s Michelen-starred spots, Casa Mono. There, you can sample Spanish tapas featuring adventurous proteins including lamb lengua and pigs ears. While there’s plenty of places to enjoy a tasty plate, nightlife isn’t the biggest draw to the neighborhood. That said, there are a number of options along Second and Third Avenues to seek out. A few that may be worth adding you to your libation location list include The Winslow (a gin bar that also doubles as a brunch spot), Ampersand (a dimly-lit bar with American style dishes to nosh on), and Dear Irving (a speakeasy-inspired watering hole). Really, the culinary and cocktails on offer match the vibe of the neighborhood.
- Arts and Entertainment. You won’t have to venture far to fill an evening with inspiring scenes or laughs. If taking in some art is up your alley, a visit to Baruch College’s Sidney Michkin Gallery may fit the bill. Alternatively, you may decide to take in what’s on display at the National Arts Club located within the Samuel Tilden Mansion, a victorian gothic-style brownstone. Next door, you’ll find the Players Club. This national historic site harkening from the Gilded Age is now an art performance and event space. Outside of this neighborhood’s “club” spaces, you can take in rock shows at the Gramercy Theatre or be a part of a live laugh track at The Stand comedy club. There’s really a whole spectrum of performances to enjoy right where you’ll call home.
- Cost of living. What you’ll pay to live in this area is pretty similar to the cost of living in the surrounding areas. Purchasing a home in this picturesque place comes with a median listing price of $1.3 million, which is up 30% from the previous year. If you opt to rent, it’s good to set expectations accordingly. On average, a studio apartment will be about $2,986 per month and a one-bedroom is at about $4,370 per month. In terms of housing, however, the townhomes, apartments, and co-ops with pre-war details including crown moldings and sunken living rooms rarely become available on the market. Beyond potential access to quaint but exclusive greenspace, you’ll enjoy an easy commute to most places in the city. There are a number of MTA subway trains nearby, including the 4/5/6, N, R, Q, and L trains. These will take you to Union Square in about 5 minutes and to Wall Street in under 30 — all at a price of $2.75 per ride. The area, like much of the city, is quite walkable. So, you’ll be able to stroll on down to the neighboring spots as you see fit with ease.
