Top 10 Murray Hill Condos
Nestled between Fifth Avenue and the East River in Midtown South, Murray Hill combines proximity to the Grand Central district, cosmopolitan bustle on the avenues, relative quiet on the side streets, and ample river and skyline views from its many freestanding towers. Check out CityRealty’s pick of the best condo buildings in one of the city’s best residential neighborhoods.
#1 - 30E31, 30 East 31st Street
The slender tower at 30 East 31st Street marks the junction of some of Manhattan’s most sought-after residential neighborhoods, namely Murray Hill, Kips Bay, and NoMad, and offers unobstructed views in every direction from its triangular windows at the penthouse floors. Morris Admij Architects drew design inspiration from Gothic tracery as much as from nearby Art Deco landmarks such as the Empire State Building.
#2 - One United Nations Park, 695 First Avenue
Richard Meier’s 42-story monolith faces the United Nations to the east with unobstructed East River views beyond. The north facade looks upon the cozy pocket park at Tudor City, Manhattan’s most celebrated pre-war apartment complex. The black-glass facade conceals an extensive amenity suite within.
#3 - 172 Madison Avenue
In addition to its prime Madison Avenue location, direct Empire State Building views, and amenities such as a top-floor pool, the 17-foot ceilings at the upper floors rank among the city’s loftiest.
#4 - 45 Park Avenue
The traditionally inspired building, erected in 2007, combines the charm of the pre-war Park Avenue lifestyle with modern perks such as floor-to-ceiling windows and one of the neighborhood’s most extensive amenity packages.
#5 - The Corinthian, 330 East 38th Street
The iconic, 57-story skyscraper, once one of the city’s tallest apartment buildings, offers perks its peers cannot match: room-spanning bay windows, diagonal footprints meant to maximize East River views, and the neighborhood’s most extensive amenity suite.
#6 - Manhattan Place, 630 First Avenue
The slanted, 35-story tower slab offers panoramic views from every apartment, whether of the East River or Midtown South. An above-average amenity package includes a sunlit, top-floor indoor swimming pool.
#7 - Kips Bay Towers, 300 East 33rd Street
The large private park, which spans nearly three city blocks around late-and-great architect I.M. Pei’s twin minimalist slabs, is as much a source of academic discourse to architecture historians as it is an oasis of delight to the condo owners.
#8 - 325 Lexington Avenue
Prime Lexington Avenue location, proximity to Grand Central Terminal, full-floor windows, and direct Empire State Building views all factor into the desirability of the 31-story tower at 325 Lex.
#9 - 303 East 33rd Street
The 12-story building bears the rarified LEED Gold certification for its environmental features and boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, a lengthy roof deck, and an extensive amenity suite.
#10 - 325 Fifth Avenue
The awe-inspiring Empire State Building stands across the street and rises in full view from the floor-to-ceiling windows and glass-railed balconies. A fully-stacked amenity package awaits the residents inside.
