160 East 48th Street, Midtown East, Manhattan, NY 10017

Midtown East may very well be the only neighborhood in Manhattan where you can look up and see the stars. Of course, you’ll likely be staring at the muralled ceiling of Grand Central Terminal, but what’s wrong with that? The historic Beaux-Arts train hall is positively gorgeous and only one of several significant masterworks in Midtown East — a list including the Chrysler Building, Plaza Hotel, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and more. Along with its sibling to the west, Midtown East also encompasses the world’s largest central business district. However, there is plenty of living room among the grand architecture and business offices. Luxe co-ops and condos — themselves often housed in impressive, towering structures — are the dominant type of residence. Still, you’ll find low-rise apartments and even townhouses further east into the Turtle Bay and Sutton areas. With stunning skyline and riverside views — plus bountiful transit options — Midtown East is a hub for Manhattan’s action.
