Murray Hill Office Space

Within Manhattan, between east 34th street and east 40th street on the north and between Madison Avenue and the East River, lies the unique neighborhood of Murray Hill.

This tiny area is densely populated and the landscape is dominated by modern high-rises although there are some brownstones and walk up residences. Because of its? central location, most public transportation is easily accessible. The neighborhood is also close to major transportation hubs; JFK airport is less than 10 miles away and it is less than a mile to the Grand Central Terminal. Since the area is largely residential there are not many famous landmarks. However, the Empire State Building does reside on the west border.

The area in named after a Quaker merchant, Robert Murray, who settled in the area in 1762 and, later, would play an important role in the American Revolutionary War. His family is credited with delaying the British Army who was chasing after General George Washington. Washington was able to escape and later defeated the British.

For most of the nineteenth century, this was an upscale residential neighborhood. In the early 1990?s, the area began attracting young professionals and they have become the dominant group. Almost three fourths of the residents have a college degree or higher and eighty six percent are employed in white collar jobs.
