The Gardens, conceived in 1909 and masterfully designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and Grosvenor Atterbury, is a protected community brimming with extraordinary old-world charm.

Station and Express E and F trains. The neighborhood is protected by a no-fly zone ordinance and is perfectly located midway between NYC’s two major international airports and only 15 minutes by rail to midtown east and midtown west Manhattan.
