Often grouped together as one, the Murray Hill and Kips Bay neighborhoods located in the Midtown East section of Manhattan are similar in the sense that they share close proximity, and have an equally appealing vibe and reputation. This coveted area offers residents so much, from stunning buildings to excellent restaurants and a spirited bar scene catering to the many professionals who live here and work in vibrant Midtown. Despite being adjacent to the business district, Murray Hill maintains a low-key atmosphere that residents love. Kips Bay is also removed from the rush, but close to it all. Both Murray Hill and adjacent Kips Bay rest near the East River, and have plenty of things to enjoy, like walks along the East River, affordable dining, and easy access to NYC’s arts and cultural attractions.
