What $1.2M buys in Turtle Bay and Beekman/Sutton Place

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Monday, May 6, 2024

Resting in the shadows of the United Nations, Turtle Bay is a tranquil neighborhood that offers a respite from the hectic pace found in neighboring Midtown East. Bounded by 42nd Street, 29th Street, Third Avenue, and the F.D.R. Drive, Turtle Bay more resembles the other low-density Midtown East enclaves of Beekman and Sutton Place.

The neighborhood's biggest recent shift occurred with the construction of the United Nations Headquarters in 1948. Built on 18 acres of cleared commercial land facing the East River, the city concurrently demolished the elevated train lines on Second and Third avenues, which lead to greater development of high-rise offices and condominiums

It has been more than 70 years since the United Nations headquarters was built, and it stands as a symbol of justice, respect, dignity, and tolerance. It may be hard to see those values reflected in the national discourse today, but lucky residents of the Murray Hill and Turtle Bay areas can be reminded of them simply by taking a short walk or looking out their window.

According to our listings there are 386 apartments for sale in Turtle Bay and Beekman/Sutton Place with the median price for condos coming in at a median price of $2.395 million, or $1,708 per square foot. The median price of a co-op comes in at $985K. Both these figures are well under the Manhattan condo and co-op medians, thus making Turtle Bay a convenient and relatively affordable locale to plant roots on the island. The following listings are all priced below $1.3 million with many having their prices reduced in recent weeks.
