Murray Hill is an upbeat neighborhood on the east side of Manhattan. A central location and attractive prices on rental apartments compared to the rest of Midtown make Murray Hill a great place to call home. With its central location, which borders Grand Central Terminal, the neighborhood offers residents a convenient commute with easy access to all corners of the city. The neighborhood has a wide variety of available inventory, from high-end condos and luxury apartments for rent in posh new developments like the American Copper Buildings to older pre-war walk-up buildings with cheaper apartments. This is one of the few areas in Midtown where you can still find an affordable apartment, with rents starting for around $2,000 per month for some studios. There are also plenty of historic brownstones and townhouses for rent in Murray Hill. The neighborhood is actually well known for its impressive 19th-century architecture, and its tree-lined streets, lined with former mansions of the well-heeled, many of which have now been converted to consulates and diplomatic missions, due to the area's proximity to the UN. Best of all, most of the rentals in the area are no-fee apartments.

If you work in Midtown and want to live within walking distance of your office, Murray Hill is a great option. Besides its convenient location, the neighborhood is also home to many great bars, trendy restaurants, and a 24/7 entertainment scene. Residents also enjoy the neighborhood's charming vibe, which is reminiscent of a lively college town, making it no surprise that the Murray Hill and Kips Bay area is particularly popular amongst millennials and younger New Yorkers.
