Manhattan Apartment Rentals near Chrysler Building

30 Park Avenue, a stirring, beige-brick 20-story building was erected in 1954 and has 237 rental apartments.

The building has a canopied entrance with a one-story polished black granite entrance surround, doorman, terraces and bay windows, protruding air-conditioners and a garage. Kitchens feature cherry wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. The building has a 24-hour doorman and a fitness center. David Kenneth Spector redesigned the lobby and hallways in 2007.

In a neighborhood known for its architecture, it takes a lot to stand out. But The Metropolis accomplishes just that, thanks both to its handsome design and the simple fact that few luxury rental apartment buildings anywhere in Manhattan can match The Metropolis when it comes to prime location. Just steps from Grand Central Terminal and neighbors with the Chrysler Building, The Metropolis offers the premier amenities and spacious floor plans savvy NYC dwellers expect from a luxury rental apartment building, as well as the unique opportunity to walk to work.

Even in a stretch of Murray Hill that's densely forested with high-rise luxury apartment buildings, Archstone East 39th stands out both for its striking architecture and elegant, gracious apartments for rent. Archstone East 39th's looks -- its asymmetrical shape, unique orange-brick face and stunning David Rockwell-designed lobby are just the most obvious examples -- are impressive, but the apartments for rent at Archstone East are the real selling point, and every bit as impressive as Archstone East 39th's aesthetic excellence.

The Montrose is a 22-story luxury residential rental boutique building with fewer than a hundred units, but many luxury amenities, offering residents a user-friendly home environment. This slice of the good life sits on a quiet eastern corner of Murray Hill. It is also close to Tudor City, the Ford Foundation Building and the United Nations. Residents also enjoy excellent public transportation not too far away on 42nd Street and at Grand Central Terminal.
