Murray Hill - Manhattan
A subsection of Midtown East, this little neighborhood was an old stomping ground of JP Morgan and used to be where the ultra-wealthy kept their carriage houses and stables. Those charming carriage houses remain today, as well as beautiful brownstones. An old beauty of Murray Hill is the 57-story Corinthian building located at 330 East 38th Street (between 1st & 2nd Ave).
Murray Hill is a quiet neighborhood with reasonable rents-great for young families. But the main mix of folks here are professionals who have lived here for years. The people tend to be friendly and easy to chat with if you bump into them at the local pubs or cafés. Just about any kind of store, food or shopping you want is either right here or in nearby Midtown East and Madison Square Park is a great place to sit and relax or play with your dog. Still, this is a place that keeps it quiet and feels homey. Keep in mind that in Murray hill you're not far from anything-the location is an excellent central spot to get anywhere uptown or downtown.
