It's safe to say that the phrase "peace and quiet" is difficult to associate with the well-known hustle and bustle of the city. Luckily these five places in Midtown are willing to combat the stereotype. Business Insider put together a list of the best secret gardens in New York City and Midtown's include private residences for sale that have beautifully design gardens and promise to provide a heavenly place for those seeking the rare duo of peace and quiet.
At the Contiential, this apartment complex knows nothing but luxury living. The high-rise has a skydeck on the 48th floor that includes lounges and chairs where residences can relax and dine in the sunlight. Moonlight, for the romantics out there!
The Centurion offers a water garden in their building lobby. However, with a starting price of $2.5 million, you're going to have to dig a litter deeper into your pockets for the tranquility.
With a starting price of $765,000 for a one bedroom and bathroom, the Griffin Court has an 8,700-square-foot courtyard that is both beautiful and eco-friendly.
At the Hudson River Club, their courtyard includes cabanas, chaise lounges and a reflecting pool that provides a culmination of a peacful oasis.
Another great place to escape the city is at the AKA United Nation that offers a cafe overlooking a private garden.
