Inquire about Sutton Place Apartments for Sale

Sutton Place is a charming little neighborhood that borders the East River to Second Avenue on the west and 52nd and 59th Streets on the south and north respectively. It is a quiet and fashionable little place per se, things you would not expect in the midst of the hustle and bustle of midtown Manhattan. The area covers two public parks, one at 57th Street and another at 53rd Street, jogging along the East River and a dog run.

The neighborhood is considered as one of the city’s most attractive and prominent residential addresses. It was named after shipping magnate Effington B. Sutton who bought the land along the river.

On 58th Street, you will find a row of gorgeous co-ops and townhouses while Sutton Place per se houses several beautifully designed apartment buildings with unobstructed view of the East River. The UN Secretary-General has its official residence in a four-story townhouse in Sutton Place, formerly owned by Anne Morgan and donated to the United Nations as a gift in 1972.

If open park spaces are not your type of hangout, you can head on to Sutton Place Bar and Restaurant at 1015 Second Avenue between 53rd and 54th Streets, a hot spot with four full bars where you can have a few drinks, listen to music or watch your favorite sporting events. The Terrace is an outdoor rooftop patio where you can have a nice drink outdoors.
