Midtown East Real Estate - NYC Living
Midtown East in Manhattan is an eclectic interesting mix of both commercial and residential buildings & structures. Midtown East starts just south of Central Park and runs down to 42nd street. From west to east the neighborhood starts on Fifth Avenue on one side and the East River on the other.
Midtown is indisputably the busiest single commercial district in the United States, and among the most intensely and diversely utilized pieces of real estate in the world. The great majority of New York City's skyscrapers, including its tallest hotels and apartment towers, lie within Midtown. More than 700,000 commuters work in its offices, hotels, and retail establishments; the area also hosts many tourists, visiting residents, and students.
It is a popular neighborhood for those who like to walk to work. Midtown East offers beautiful new luxury buildings as well as old world charm. The hub of Midtown East is Grand Central Station, which has gone through spectacular renovations. Living near Grand Central is a great option for those who have to do a reverse commute to Westchester or Connecticut. Residential buildings can mostly be found east of Lexington Avenue, from the forties up to 59th street and while there are still many co-ops and walkups in the eastern part of this neighborhood, the great number of working professionals in the area has inspired many modern luxury high-rise buildings to have been developed. Like the Upper East Side, convenient shopping such as supermarkets, pharmacies, and cleaners are plentiful and make it convenient for running errands on your way home from work. And despite being one of the busiest places by day in Manhattan it also is by night reinforcing that Manhattan is the city that works hardest and plays hardest.
