Murray Hill NYC Apartments

Murray Hill is the name of the Manhattan neighborhood in New York City that is north of 34th Street, South of 42nd Street, East of Madison Avenue and West of the East River. More broadly, locals include the blocks south to 30th street and north to 45th Street. Murray Hill also boarders “Curry Hill” on the North; Curry Hill is a well known neighborhood similar to Murray Hill but with a large Indian population and a high concentration of Indian restaurants.

Murray Hill was named after a since-leveled hill that the Murray family once built their home on in the mid 18th Century. In the 19th Century, Murray Hill was the home of the estate section of New York City where wealthy residents, such as J.P. Morgan built large brownstones. If you walk the side streets of Murray Hill today, you can still see many of these hundred year old brownstones. Some of these brownstones serve as single family homes while others have been subdivided and house charming rental apartments. Most of the Murray Hill apartments are not brownstones. Instead, Murray Hill has been the place of a significant amount of high rise building over the last 30 years. As a result, its one of the best places in Manhattan to find reasonably priced apartments with significantly more space than you will find downtown. In addition, nearly all of these high rise buildings offer amenities like doormen, in-building laundry and dry cleaning, and common rooftops. In addition, several of these new buildings have health clubs, swimming pools, parking garages and are even pet friendly.

Murray Hill is great for recent college graduates. The prices are the most reasonable, your neighbors are likely young and also recent college graduates, the location is central and there are a bunch of college type bars and restaurants nearby. If you are struggling with the idea of actually growing up and entering the real world, this is a pretty good place to find a rental apartment and delay entering the grown up world.

If you are looking for a rental apartment in a brownstone in Murray Hill, using a broker might make sense.
