Midtown East is overflowing with some of New York City’s most noted attractions, including Rockefeller Center, the United Nations, and the Chrysler Building. Living in the neighborhood, you’ll find that much of the city is at your fingertips—or, feet rather—as much of the services or recreation you would need are within walking distance. Spend a weekend afternoon shopping at Bloomingdale’s, or outdoors in Central Park.
Many of the area’s condos and co-ops are skyscrapers with open city views. Some of the apartment layouts in Midtown are loft-like, with high ceilings and oversized windows. A prime example is 250 East 49th Street, where the ceilings are nearly twelve feet high. The amenities of these luxury Midtown apartment buildings often include health clubs, party rooms, storage, and parking.
