Renting in the Theater District
Few people think of the Theater District as a residential neighborhood, but a group of large rental towers sits on the side streets between Sixth and Eighth Avenues, a few blocks from Times Square. All five indexed here went up between 1989 and 2003, as the cleanup of 42nd Street and Times Square made the area attractive to developers again.
Avalon Midtown West is the largest, with 550 apartments, and The Biltmore on West 47th Street is the tallest at 53 floors. The Moinian Group runs two of the five, The Biltmore and The Marc. The Ritz Plaza and The Ellington, both from 1989, are the oldest.
Living here means being at the center of everything, with the noise and crowds that come with it. Broadway theaters, Rockefeller Center and Central Park are a walk away, and the subway is unmatched, with more than a dozen lines stopping within a few blocks. For a quieter version of the same location, look one avenue west in Hell’s Kitchen.
