This cooperative is in excellent condition and very nicely maintained. The lobby and hallways are always pristine. Tudor City is one of Manhattan's prettiest and most quiet enclaves featuring Tudor City Gardens and nearby shops. Providing both a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan and proximity to midtown East, Grand Central and everything Manhattan, makes this the perfect retreat. Sublets are permitted. Assessment: $254 per month for 36 months as of 3/1/24.
Quick Profile
Compared to other New York City neighborhoods Tudor City is a bit different. For starters, it's not very big. And technically it's not a neighborhood, it's more along the lines of a residential enclave of Tudor style buildings and parks. Even with the large neon sign boldly exclaiming the enclave's name, Tudor CIty is still a little tricky to find.
Located on the southern edge of Turtle Bay, Tudor City borders Murray Hill and lies on a low cliff which is just east of Second Avenue between 40th and 43rd Street. It overlooks the grounds of the United Nations along First Avenue and the East River beyond.
Tudor City is considered one of the world’s first skyscraper apartment complexes. This was considered a remarkable feat in 1929. Early marketing material, aimed at the middle class, described the development as well-planned, well-built, and well-priced housing. Developer Fred F. Finch designed Tudor City to keep middle class residents in Manhattan as many were fleeing the city for the suburbs.
