Midtown

Spanning the heart of Manhattan, Midtown encompasses all that New York City is known for: skyscrapers, hustle and bustle, glorious views, plus fantastic shopping and dining.

Midtown also embraces nearly every residential ambiance imaginable. With the United Nations headquarters along the East River, Midtown East’s Turtle Bay and Sutton Place neighborhood are serene residential enclaves home to international dignitaries and consulates. In Midtown West, what was once rough-and-tumble Hell’s Kitchen is now a sought-after, vibrant residential enclave. In the Midtown Central, meanwhile, the famed Central Park South and Billionaire’s Row corridors include some of the most expensive and tallest residential homes in the world.

While there’s a great variety of housing stock in this expansive section of Manhattan, including rental buildings, townhouses and co-ops, the vast majority of homes are found in postwar Midtown condominiums for sale. Ranging from brand-new, ultra-luxury buildings like 432 Park Avenue and One57 along Billionaire’s Row to more modest masonry buildings further south, Midtown condominiums for sale represent a multitude of price points and amenities.

Residents and tourists are drawn to Midtown’s long list of exciting and historical venues. Broadway and the Theater District, Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall offer world-class entertainment, while some of the most prized contemporary art on the planet can be found at MoMA. Those who wish to see the world from hundreds of feet in the air head to the observation decks of the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center, while Grand Central Terminal serves as both transportation center and architectural destination. In lush Bryant Park, New Yorkers enjoy outdoor movies in the summer and ice skating in winter.

Revitalization along Midtown’s Western shores is due in large part to the massive Manhattan West and Hudson Yards developments, which have brought several new commercial and residential high-rises to the area, plus fantastic public art, dining and shopping venues.
