Property Description for 223 East 50th Street, 2-C
Flexible Co-op: Pied-à-Terres, Co-Purchasing & Subletting Allowed
*Elevator and Laundry Room, too. *
This is the one you’ve been waiting for! Full of charm, comfort, and smart updates, this whisper-quiet 1-bedroom is tucked inside a well-kept elevator co-op on one of Midtown East’s most gorgeous tree-lined streets.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, seeking a perfect NYC pied-à-terre, or exploring an investment, this co-op offers rare flexibility and value you won’t find elsewhere.
Apartment Features:
• True king-sized bedroom
• High ceilings — over 9 feet
• Gleaming hardwood floors that add warmth and character
• A bright, inviting vibe with soft lighting and crisp white walls
• Full kitchen with French door cabinets and a dishwasher
• New window A/C units with remote controls
• Sparkling white bathroom with window and full bathtub — clean, classic, calming
Perks of the Building:
• Elevator
• Laundry room
• Virtual doorman/intercom system with smartphone access — easy and secure
Location:
Live where convenience meets charm! This vibrant Midtown East location has it all — transportation, amazing restaurants, cozy cafés, bars, supermarkets, parks, gyms/exercise studios, and even a weekly farmer’s market just blocks away.
Why This Co-op Stands Out:
• Extraordinary flexibility: pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, and subletting (after 2 years) permitted
• Financial advantages: the cost of ownership is lower than renting a comparable unit — plus enjoy the security of homeownership and valuable tax benefits
• Only 20% down required
• Low maintenance
This cheerful and welcoming home is a rare find in an unbeatable location — combining lifestyle, financial smarts, and peace of mind. Don’t miss your chance to call it “home!”
Note:
* Capital assessment: $747.85 through 9/30/2027.

Quick Profile
Turtle Bay is best known for hosting the world’s dignitaries at United Nations once a year as the world institution sits on the eastern edge of the neighborhood along the East River.
But this midtown location offers a lot more, a bustling neighborhood teeming with high-rise apartment buildings and an easy walk to the Midtown business district.
Over the past two decades, developers have assembled almost every corner development site along Second Avenue and have built straight up. Not much left to assemble.
Some of the more glamorous, and of course most expensive, addresses are in close proximity to the United Nations. Trump World Tower, which caused a big stir with area residents, in particular, Walter Cronkite, when it was built sits just north of the United Nations Grounds.
In contrast to the proliferation of the residential highrise, Turtle Bay does have some lovely tree-lined streets between the avenues. In particular, Turtle Bay Gardens, which fronts both 48th Street and 49th Street between Third and Second Avenue has always been a haven for the rich and famous.
