A versatile Midtown neighborhood.
In the early 1900s, Murray Hill was known as an upscale neighborhood with gorgeous brownstones marked with old NYC charm. Since then, the neighborhood has gotten more affordable, with an active nightlife scene and an influx of NYC transplants.
What To Expect:
A lively yet manageable neighborhood close to work in Midtown.
The Lifestyle:
Walks along the East River, diverse and affordable dining, and a spirited bar scene.
During the day, Murray Hill can feel like a sleepy village with quiet, tranquil streets. Out on the East River, you’ll find a constant flux of locals jogging on the running path or simply admiring the view. Murray Hill isn’t known for fine dining, but the neighborhood is sprinkled with smaller and more intimate cafes, bagel shops, and brunch spots that are favorites among residents. A well known area in the East 20s, affectionately nicknamed "Curry Hill" by residents, specializes in Indian Restaurants, and farther west in the 30s is “Koreatown”, popular for its authentic Korean noodle dishes and karaoke lounges. At night, Murray Hill becomes a destination for affordable nightlife. On Saturday nights, the atmosphere is congenial and welcoming. The no-frills bar scene attracts regulars and mainstays back each weekend, and patrons quickly build up a friendly and warm rapport with each other.

Very reasonable. You can find great deals for spacious apartments in high-rise buildings.
