Turtle Bay
Turtle Bay, on the east side of Manhattan, extends between 42nd and 53rd Streets, and eastward from Lexington Avenue to the East River.
Turtle Bay has been known for its brownstones since the Civil War. The Turtle Bay brownstone tradition, the United Nations Headquarters, and high-rise office buildings and condominiums give this slice of Midtown a unique feel. Turtle Bay is known for its tree lined streets and laid back atmosphere. But the Bay has something for everyone... For instance, the Tudor City complex near First Ave and 43rd St features eleven soaring co-ops surrounding two parks.
Turtle Bay's level of community involvement is distinct, even among New York neighborhoods. In 1957, the Turtle Bay Association was formed by residents and property owners in hopes of maintaining the neighborhood's quality of life. The Association's efforts have resulted in thriving parks and landscaping.
Are Turtle Bay homes good investments? You know what they say about real estate... Location (repeat 2x). And Turtle Bay's location can't be beat. There's a reason the world's leaders set up shop here!
- The Food Emporium, under Queensboro Bridge, keeps with Turtle Bay's international flair by offering specialty foods from fourteen countries, from Greece to South Africa.
