Midtown East extends west to Fifth Avenue and east to the East River, from 42nd to 57th Streets, and enfolds the mini-hoods of Turtle Bay, Beekman, Tudor City and the Plaza District. Midtown East is a neighborhood at the center of it all, home to some of the most desirable luxury rental apartments in Manhattan.
While Midtown East is home to a number of iconic landmarks -- the gloriously designed transit hub that is Grand Central Station; the art deco grandeur of The Chrysler Building; the opulent retail mecca of Bloomingdale's -- it is most distinguished as a surprisingly low-key residential neighborhood. Turtle Bay has a lively nightlife scene, but it's striking just how serene, welcoming and charming so central a neighborhood can be. World class dining and shopping are tucked away on these quiet, tree-lined blocks, as are unpretentious neighborhood pubs and coffee shops. Midtown East is a study in contrasts, and all the more quintessentially New York for that.
Unsurprisingly, given its central location, Midtown East is a vertical neighborhood. What's more surprising is how varied these mid-rise and high-rise apartment buildings actually are. The ultra-luxe apartments and amenities at Le Triomphe offer an opulent living experience, as does the 52-story Metropolis. A more low-key, classic collection of rental apartments can be found at The Belmont and Rivercourt. The most important thing that this diverse array of luxury apartment buildings have in common, of course, is location -- at the very center of the city that's at the center of the world.

Many Manhattan luxury rentals advertise condo-quality finishes and services, but One Beacon Court can go one better. That's because One Beacon Court, which is perhaps better known as The Bloomberg Building, is both one of Manhattan's most sought-after luxury condominiums and one of the most elite rental listings in New York City. That it's also the headquarters for Bloomberg and home to iconic midtown restaurant Le Cirque, then, would qualify as icing on the cake. Stretching a full city block in midtown Manhattan bounded by East 58th and East 59th Streets, One Beacon Court is inarguably one of Manhattan's most unique luxury rental listings. And one of its elite condominiums. It's less confusing than it sounds -- the bottom line is that, by any standard, One Beacon Court is one of the most extraordinary real estate listings in Manhattan.
