When we talk about Sutton Place, we talk about opulence under the radar, since this neighborhood is a luxurious hidden gem. This Manhattan neighborhood, which was once home to Michael Jackson and Marilyn Monroe, is adjacent to the East River, and south of the Queensboro Bridge, and is considered one of the city’s most affluent areas, on par with the adjacent Upper East Side. Rich with Manhattan brownstones, Sutton Place covers 53rd and 59th Streets, between the East River to Second Avenue, and is the intersection of Midtown and the Upper East Side. This largely residential area has two parks overlooking the East River: one by 53rd Street and the other on 57th Street. This neighborhood is ideal when it comes to peace and privacy. Reduced honking, little-to-no traffic, and prohibited sidewalk parking on most streets are just a few of its perks.
