A quiet community with Midtown convenience
Turtle Bay offers a neighborhood feel, as well as proximity to the attractions of Midtown, like Grand Central, Rockefeller Center and Broadway. “During the week, you’ll see more business traffic,” says Donna Conti, a licensed associate real estate broker with Douglas Elliman who is a longtime East Midtown resident. “Still, there’s an active community of locals, hanging out in the parks, dining out, going grocery shopping.” Home to the United Nations headquarters and over 120 foreign consulates, Turtle Bay is a true cosmopolitan neighborhood. International restaurants, cultural centers and events grant residents a global and sophisticated day-to-day experience.

High-rise buildings dominate the area
Over one-third of the buildings in Turtle Bay are commercial office buildings: “We see a lot of professionals buying in this area,” Conti says. “For residents who live here part-time, say for work, being this close to Grand Central is a big appeal. For others, it’s about quick access to the theater district’s nightlife.” Prewar town houses in Italian-Mediterranean and Georgian styles have $4 million to $6 million price tags. Two-bedroom condos in luxury high-rise buildings start at $2 million, but prices climb to $11 million for larger units, with penthouses asking as much as $12 million to $40 million. Studios in older, postwar condos list as low as $300,000 to $500,000 and one-bedrooms range between $400,000 to $1.5 million.

Small city parks for locals and professionals
Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, a narrow, tree-lined park, lies at the heart of Turtle Bay, both geographically and culturally. Tucked between the high-rise buildings of East 47th Street, the park is a community hub with charming wrought iron lampposts, art installations and a small cafe called Pink Moose. Residents enjoy the plaza’s packed event calendar, which includes concerts, farmers’ markets and annual celebrations, like Oktoberfest. At the park’s east end, the Katherine Hepburn Gardens—named for the Hollywood actress and former Turtle Bay resident—provides a quiet, shaded place to stroll. Farther north, the Greenacre Pocket Park is an intimate city oasis with cafe seating, ivy walls and a 25-foot-high waterfall, while Bryant Park is just a 20 to 30-minute walk away.
Known as the "Gateway to the United Nations" Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza lies in Turtle Bay.

Global cuisine at varying price points and formality
Restaurants in Turtle Bay’s 27-square blocks keep with the neighborhood's global theme: there’s Turkish baklava at Sip Sak, Japanese sushi at Tsushima or French pastries at Le Petit Parisien. Many residents are partial to Ess-A-Bagel for breakfast, evidenced by the long, albeit fast, line of customers each morning. “You can eat very well for not a lot of money at pubs or fast-casual spots, or you can find high-end, fine dining restaurants,” Conti says.

The E and F subway lines are also available at 53rd Street and Lexington Avenue. The MTA has plans to add two new stations along 2nd Avenue in the future. Two crosstown buses run through Midtown, while an express bus shuttles people up or down town.

Peace of mind for residents
Being near the UN headquarters, it’s not unusual to come across public demonstrations, particularly through Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza, or large events that leave some streets closed. That said, locals can expect a prominent police presence in the area. “People who live here have learned to appreciate that because it keeps the neighborhood safe," Conti says.
