Turtle Bay Neighborhood Guide
How nice is it to live in Turtle Bay? After Donald Trump won the presidency he hinted that he might only live in the White House during the week and return to his home in Trump World Tower - which joined the neighborhood in the early 2000s - on the weekends. There was once an actual bay in the East River here and it was teeming with turtles. Around the time of the Civil War the water was filled in and the first residents were slaughterhouses and breweries. The 19th century brownstones that lined the streets were tenements. That changed in the 1940s when six full blocks of Turtle Bay's industrial core were razed to make way for the United Nations Headquarters complex. Many of those brownstones on the tree-lined streets became consulates and the neighborhood assumed its now-familiar cosmopolitan ambiance.
Architecture and landmarks
Turtle Bay is packed with "tallest" and "firsts" and "bests." The Art Deco sensation, the Chrysler Building, resting comfortably in the pantheon of great American buildings, was the tallest building in the world when it was completed in the 1920s. The Socony-Mobil Building nearby was the world's first stainless steel skyscraper when it rose in 1955. Grand Central Station is the largest train terminal in the world by number of platforms. The Met Life Building was the largest commercial office building in the world when it opened in 1963, Trump World Tower was the tallest residential building in the world, the Waldorf Astoria was the largest hotel in the world and so on. Turtle Bay Gardens is its own historic district, a collection of 20 town houses each with a private garden that are woven around a common path. One long-time resident's love of horticulture led to the dedication of the Katharine Hepburn Garden in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, honoring the four-time Academy Award-winning actress.
