Talk about history- The Gramercy Park House, built in 1883, was the first co-op apartment building in Manhattan. The structure still contains its original cable-driven elevator. As one of the oldest luxury apartment buildings in the city, its generous apartments were advertised as “French Flats” in order to differentiate them from the tenement buildings in the area. This was one of the first downtown buildings to feature the luxurious finishes seen uptown in the Fifth Avenue brownstones. Facing Gramercy Park, building residents are entitled to a key to the private park.

About Gramercy Park
Gramercy residents have the convenience of living downtown mixed with the sophistication usually reserved for uptown neighborhoods. The neighborhood gets its name from the only private park in the city. Key access is needed and is given only to those who live on the perimeter of the park. Some of the best restaurants in the city are located on Park Ave South in the Gramercy area.
