Neighborhood

Stretching from 6th Ave. to the West Side Highway, and up from 38th St. to Central Park South, Midtown West wraps up all you love about New York in the avenues leading up to the Hudson River.

The obvious tourist attractions reside in Midtown West, including Times Square and Rockefeller Center, but for residents who want to miss the crowds in this urban locale, look closer to the water for popular spots like Industry Bar and Totto Ramen. However, renters and tourists alike will appreciate the lights and sights of Broadway, and the recognizable architecture of old New York. Pocket parks dot the grid of Manhattan, easing the inescapable buzz of the city.

Like the rest of Midtown, Midtown West is a major business district. It’s a convenient place to rent if you work in the area and you want to avoid a long subway commute or prefer to walk.

Smoke

I love basically everything about living here but I think people are allowed to smoke inside their apartments and at this very moment my entire floor smells like 5,000 cigarettes are being smoked at the same time, which is seeping into my apartment. I’ve complained before and they’ve insulated my door and given me an air purifier, which I appreciate, but it’s so bad.

The Staff are Allstars

The front desk and doormen are Allstars in my book. They are knowledgeable and extremely courteous. They are always ready to assisy and protect. My kudos to management

Slice of Heaven

Great Building, OK Location

The Building. It's very clean, friendly doorman/concierge staff, decent gym/pool/tennis courts on the 3rd floor, if your apartment is facing west then you'll have great views of the Hudson (especially at sunset). Also being right next to the Hudson River means you're very close to great biking/jogging. Keep in mind: this is a pet friendly building, so the occasional dog baring early in the morning may be your wake up alarm. Location. You're from the subways and a few long blocks from good restaurants (but there are two grocery stores near by). The building does have a morning and evening shuttle bus to help you get to and from the subways. But if you miss them expect to walk, taxi, or wait for the bus traffic laden 42nd st bus. Keep in mind: you'll be dealing with swarms of tourists at Times Square.
