Within walking or short-transit distance of Midtown, median sale prices range across Midtown South at $2.9M, Central Park South at $2.5M, Midtown East at $975K, Midtown West at $835K.

Midtown is served by the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, A, B, C, D, E, F, M, N, Q, R, S, W trains. The commute to Midtown Manhattan runs roughly 8 minutes from Times Sq-42 St.
Under the FARE Act in effect since August 2024, NYC landlords who engage a broker pay the broker fee directly rather than passing it to tenants. In neighborhoods like Midtown, this has shifted some smaller landlords toward self-listing, which has tightened the supply of agent-listed rentals citywide and lifted competition for what remains on market.
