Turtle Bay

A residential side of Midtown.

Turtle Bay combines the international presence of the United Nations with residential streets, apartment towers, and tucked-away historic houses. Its East River setting gives the neighborhood a different perspective from Midtown’s more familiar commercial avenues.

The garden-centered blocks of Turtle Bay Gardens and the streets toward Beekman Place reveal a more intimate scale within the broader area. Homes range from older apartments to contemporary residences, with building design, orientation, and proximity to the river shaping the experience.
