Midtown

Midtown Manhattan is the city's primary commercial and transit hub, home to Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, and the Empire State Building. The residential market features luxury condo towers, classic pre-war cooperatives, and postwar doorman buildings served by nearly every subway line in the system. Properties range from high-floor units with skyline panoramas to well-maintained co-ops along the tree-lined side streets east and west of Fifth Avenue.
