Welcome to Beekman

Among the New York City neighborhoods typically described as “desirable,” Beekman is in a category of its own.
 
The Southgate on East 52nd Street in the Beekman neighborhood of Midtown East. The Southgate on East 52nd Street.

Occupying a small cluster of city blocks in the Turtle Bay section of Midtown East—with First Ave. to the west, E. 52nd St. to the north, the East River to the east, and Mitchell Place (or E. 49th St.) to the south, Beekman is more of a neighborhood within a neighborhood. But according to Douglas Elliman agents Stephen Geller and David Menendez, its diminutive footprint is key to what makes it uniquely desirable.
 
“Beekman is a charming, quiet little enclave, just steps from Midtown Manhattan,” said Geller. “And yet, it feels a world away.”
 
Given its proximity to the United Nations headquarters two blocks south, he added, the nearby embassies and diplomatic residences, in addition to the relative scarcity of cars and traffic, make Beekman “feel almost like a small bit of Europe in the middle of Manhattan.”
 
Located on the onetime site of Mount Pleasant, the Beekman family mansion, built in the 1760s by James Beekman, the neighborhood is steeped in American history. While using the mansion as their headquarters during the Revolutionary War, the British army tried American spy Nathan Hale. In the centuries since, numerous luminaries have made their home there, from John D. Rockefeller and Irving Berlin to media tycoons William S. Paley and S.I. Newhouse.
