Neighborhood Profiles

Gramercy Park

Gramercy Park is one of New York City’s most storied and architecturally distinctive neighborhoods, centered around the only private park in Manhattan. The area exudes old-world charm with its gas-lit streets and impeccably preserved 19th-century architecture. While the park itself is private, the surrounding real estate offers a mix of historic brownstones, elegant pre-war cooperatives, and boutique new developments that cater to those seeking a low-traffic urban retreat.

Ridgewood

Ridgewood features orderly blocks of brick and limestone rowhouses, prewar tenements with decorative cornices, and multi-family buildings constructed between 1905 and 1925, making it one of Queens' most architecturally consistent neighborhoods. The M train runs through the heart of the area with stops at Seneca Avenue, Forest Avenue, and Fresh Pond Road, while the L train connects at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues. Highland Park and Ridgewood Reservoir border the neighborhood to the south, and the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House, an 18th-century landmark, marks the historic Queens-Brooklyn boundary.
