Murray Hill is a historic district in the Midtown East area of Manhattan, one of the most desirable locations for NYC rentals. The neighborhood is ideally situated for business and leisure, with great transportation links to the rest of New York City, and many of the city’s most famous landmarks and attractions within walking distance. It’s amazing how peaceful the area is despite being so close to the center of the city that never sleeps.
Murray Hill is named after the Murray family, who famously built a large estate there in the 18th century. Today, in sharp contrast, the land is filled with high-rise buildings made up of offices and apartments, including worldwide enterprises like China Airlines and L-3 Communications. But it’s also a pleasant residential neighborhood with all the necessary amenities, such as schools, shopping and dining. On any day of the week, you can take an enjoyable walk around Murray Hill to admire the grand architecture and observe the diverse mix of people going about their lives.
Murray Hill’s wide variety of options for different tastes and requirements makes it a popular location for those looking to rent an NYC apartment. The area appeals to a mix of city professionals, young graduates and families looking to make this relaxed yet convenient part of Manhattan their home. The quality of life on offer for the rental prices is considered excellent, and as such, Murray Hill apartments have both a younger mix of tenants than other nearby parts of town and older residents who have lived there for several decades.
One of the most established and respected companies in the NYC property business is Carlyle Property Management, which develops and manages luxury apartment buildings and commercial properties in the most prestigious districts of Manhattan and Philadelphia. In New York, they have a presence in attractive areas such as Chelsea, Greenwich Village, the Upper East Side and Midtown East, where Murray Hill is located. The buildings they manage in Murray Hill include The Wellesley, Regency Towers, Carlton Towers, Dryden East, The Towne House and Ambassador East.
