Beginning on 49th Street and terminating on 51st Street, the coveted Beekman Place enclave is a serene, tree-lined stretch of stately prewar buildings, making one feel completely removed from the frenetic energy of the city, yet placing one within short walking distance of every residential convenience. Transportation is a breeze with the 6 train at 51st and Lex, the E/M trains at 53rd and Third, and the M50 crosstown bus on 50th.

Beekman Place has long been synonymous with old money and has been home to multiple members of the Rockefeller family as well as Huntington Hartford, heir to the A&P supermarket fortune. Additional famous residents of the neighborhood include Gloria Vanderbilt, Irving Berlin, Greta Garbo, Ethel Barrymore, Anne Morgan, Elisabeth Marbury, Rex Harrison, Katherine Cornell, Van Santvoord Merle-Smith, William S. Paley, Alfred Lunt, Lynne Fontanne, Mary McCarthy, John P. Marquand, Paul Jones, and modernist architect Paul Rudolph.
