Neighborhood Guide MURRAY HILL - MANHATTAN A subsection of Midtown East, this little neighborhood was an old stomping ground of JP Morgan and used to be where the ultra-wealthy kept their carriage houses and stables. Those charming carriage houses remain today, as well as beautiful brownstones. An old beauty of Murray Hill is the 57-story Corinthian building. Murray Hill is a quiet neighborhood with reasonable rents—great for families who are just getting started. But the main mix of folks here are older professionals who have lived here for years. The people tend to be friendly and easy to chat with if you bump into them at the local pubs or cafés. Just about any kind of store, food or shopping you want is either right here or in nearby Midtown East. Still, this is a place that keeps it quiet and feels homey. There isn’t much of a nightlife scene—a reiteration that it is a quiet place to live, but also keep in mind that you’re not far from anything, really. The location is an excellent central spot to get anywhere uptown or downtown.
