My experience
My apartment building is lovely. It has a huge beautiful outdoor courtyard that is only available for residents. My apartment could use a renovation, and the windows in all apartments in the building are very drafty and old. Overall though, a great place to live.

About Gramercy Park
Gramercy Park is named after the private, fenced-in park that you can access only if you have one of the 383 exclusive keys. If you live in one of the surrounding apartments or townhouses, you're one of the few who get to stroll through this beautiful ornamental garden. The rest of the neighborhood ...

Gramercy Park Reviews

5 minute walk to Trader Joe's. Target in-building. Fairway 3 minute walk away. Several bars and restaurants nearby on Third Ave. 40 minute walk to Washington Square Park area. 10 minute walk to the closest subway (the 6), but there are bus lanes nearby. Incredibly close to two major hospitals (great during the COVID age, but lots of ambulance sirens).
Gramercy is awesome, lots of great restaurants and date spots. Easy to get EV for later in the night, or lower east via 4/5/6.
Many restaurants and groceries. Quiet and safe area.
See first thing I wrote. Kips bay/murray hill has a great bar and restaurant scene, very young. You don't really go out Friday/Saturday night here, not enough dancing type bars, but it's awesome for just about every other occasion. Central location for everywhere that you would go in any situation though.
East village is great because it is close to school with a great restaurant and bar scene. The only down side is that there are a few hospitals in the area, which means that there are a few more homeless people around than some other areas, especially during the summer, since they are often picked up and then discharged. It doesn't feel unsafe because of the homeless people, but it isn't the most pleasant part of the neighborhood.
Good neighborhood for living: Trader Joe's, Fairway, movie theater all within walking distance. Also close to NYU Langone hospital which is good for two reasons: can get to the hospital quickly if you're sick and it's right by the E line shuttle that NYU runs. Get to class in about 15 minutes without having to pay anything more.
PRO:
Safe area (next door to the Police Academy)
Pretty quiet neighborhood (3rd ave is not too noisy)
Close to actual Gramercy Park
1mi from campus
Many restaurants/bars close by, but not noisy on a Fri/Sat night
CONS
No do-it-yourself laundry nearby (wash and fold options close)
No actual access to Gramercy Park
Closest "large" grocery stores at Union Square (Trader Joes, Whole Foods)-not a problem per se, but expect them to be very crowded most of the time

The neighborhood is friendly and busy. The building is located between 5th Ave and Madison Ave so it's busy outside, but not too noisy throughout the night. There are a lot of restaurants and bars nearby and it is very conveniently located around multiple subway stops.
