Tudor City is a self-contained residential enclave on the east side of Midtown Manhattan, perched on a low cliff between 40th and 43rd Streets east of Second Avenue, comprising 13 buildings in the Tudor Revival style designed by the Fred F. French Company beginning in 1926. One of the first planned middle-class residential skyscraper communities in the world and a designated New York City landmark district, it offers a remarkable sense of seclusion — with its own private parks and an overpass bridging 42nd Street — just steps from Grand Central Terminal and the United Nations.
