Gramercy Park is the 13th Precinct, here are the statistics, you be the judge; http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/downloads/pdf/crime_statistics/…

This is a website where schools are rated by parents and independent researchers, not the Bd. of Ed:
http://insideschools.org
If you would like to know what school a particular address is zoned for, call 311 and they will tell you.

For crime stats, contacting the precinct is the best thing. You can call 311 to find out the precinct of the address you have in mind.

The most accurate way to determine the crime rate is to visit http://www.nyc.gov never mind walking into a busy police precinct and asking somebody that may not be authorized or able to answer your questions, for schools visit http://schools.nyc.gov/default.aspx

Hi Jorge,

The best way to find out about the crime rate is to go into the local police station and ask them.

check this out for comparing crime rates and stuff. it even says the types of crimes that the particular area has. like, violent or property etc.

I have a good article for you to read. It is called, "Sensitive information
The Web can help you with questions your Realtor won't answer". It can be found on the web.

When considering buying a home in NYC you should not assume that your kids will automatically go to the closest school to your home. The school system has been drastically changed by Mayor Mike Bloomberg. The city of New York has a website http://www.nyc.gov. You can find police crime statistics and also school information. Below is a link to the department of education.

Hi Jorge,

The best way to check for crime in you rneighborhood is to check with the local police station. My clients who work on the Special Gang Task Forces use this for their home shopping. THey will have a record of all crimes and the street location.
Good Luck,
Mary

Hi Jorge!

GreatSchools.net is a wonderful online resource to school ratings, MCAS reports and parent ratings.

Best Of Luck!

Right here on trulia! Go to the Real Estate Guides tab and simply type in a zip code or city/state. Presto! Happy hunting!

For crime rates there are online stats, but I think the better info and stats might come from your CRO...or Community Resource Officer at the police department. If you live in NYC I think you could call 311 and ask them to point you to the right person. Otherwise you could ask one of the beat officers in that district to point you in the right direction. That person can give you some ideas, trends, and if you're nice to them perhaps they'll email you the stats they have collected for the precinct. As for schools
You might also want to check the website http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.af3010c6672fa… for stats on schools and crime and more information about the neighborhood. Also check out the link: http://nymag.com/realestate/articles/neighborhoods/gramercyp… for some more information about the neighborhood.
