Though technically located on the East Side of Manhattan, Murray Hill feels centrally located to the rest of the city, thanks to the accessibility afforded by Grand Central Station. In keeping with the pace of Manhattan’s midtown, it's common to see office workers looking for the next great lunch spot bustling around Murray Hill throughout the day but during the evening its residential areas take on a quiet, tranquil vibe. Comfortably situated on the East River, Murray Hill is still within walking distance to some of the city’s best public amenities, like Bryant Park and the New York Public Library’s Main Branch, and because of its relative proximity to Turtle Bay and the United Nations, a number of diplomatic missions and internationally-oriented cultural institutions may be found in the area. Murray Hill is the perfect home for those looking to be close to the action of midtown while still enjoying peace and quiet.
