While the cost of living in Gramercy is not ideal for families with kids, their safety and peace sure make it among the best New York neighborhoods to live in with families and kids. The neighborhood is beautiful and very green, often evoking a smaller or even European city. They have parks, tree-lined streets, and the hood is generally quieter than most of Manhattan. Getting around is not hard at all since commute times are faster in Gramercy than its neighbor areas. Many people in this neighborhood are able to walk to work. However, hopefully they work somewhere generous because it is incredibly expensive to live here.
