255 East 49th Street is a Privately Owned Public Space in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Midtown East, providing an outdoor plaza at a residential building between Second and Third Avenues.
Turtle Bay's famous shared garden, a private green space that runs through the interior of the block between 48th and 49th Streets, is one of the most unusual residential amenities in Manhattan. The POPS at 255 East 49th provides public outdoor space adjacent to this private enclave.
The neighborhood's quiet residential character, remarkable for its Midtown location, has attracted residents who value the combination of urban convenience and residential calm. The side streets feel like a different city from the avenues one block away.
Turtle Bay's literary and diplomatic heritage gives it a character distinct from the surrounding commercial district. The neighborhood's townhouses and low-rise apartment buildings create a human scale that is rare in this part of Manhattan.
This plaza provides public outdoor space in one of Midtown's most charming residential pockets.
