The Murray Hill^® Apartamentos

boasts a spacious roof deck with high quality furniture for outdoor entertaining or fun in the sun, and is open from late spring into the fall. For me, however, the most compelling reason to pick the Murray Hill over its competition are the stunning views available from the north facing units. Most floors with a north-facing view have breathtaking, unobstructed views of Manhattan including the Chrysler building and others. Many units (but not all) have terraces, and while the view isn't as grand on the south facing side of the building, those with terraces have a straight-shot view across 34th street including the Empire State building. The only possible drawback to the building is that it caters mostly to 20-something professionals. More established folks or those with families may bristle at the occasional loud party or late night hallway conversation. That said, this is more of a rarity than a usual occurrence, and the rest of the pluses more than make up for the minuses. In short, if you're looking for an apartment with a great location, great amenities, friendly staff, and views that will make you the envy of your friends, look no further.
