Midtown East

Manhattan apartments located in the New York City area known as Midtown East run from East 40th to East 59th Street, from Fifth Avenue to the East River. This area contains desirable neighborhoods such as Beekman Place, Sutton Place and Tudor City, all located in close proximity to The United Nations. Manhattan apartments located in these locales are the favorites of diplomats as well as executives who prefer to walk to their offices in midtown. Some of the finest restaurants and department stores are located here. Although some blocks are a mix of commercial and residential properties, the convenience of the area has made it among the most desirable places to live in New York.

Midtown West

Midtown West, also known as the Times Square/Theatre District, or Clinton (formerly Hell's Kitchen), stretches from West 36th Street to West 59th Street, from Broadway to the Hudson River. If you like the frenzy of living in the thumping heart of a working New York City, this is the area for you! An intensive renovation project began in the late 90s, bringing an explosion of real estate development, with many fine residential properties having been built in the West 50s. And, with the redevelopment of Times Square, attracting many upscale corporations, this neighborhood allows for a "walk-to-work" commute. If you are looking for a proverbial "City that never sleeps" experience, then searching for Manhattan apartments in this area is a must.
