Property Description for 40 West 55th Street, 1-D
Fabulous huge one bedroom, that feels way bigger than anything comparable on the market! A deep sense of warmth and comfort are enhanced by exposed brick walls in both the newly painted living room and the bedroom. Original wood floors, crown molding and a fireplace add to the homey feel. Let your pets roam, while you enjoy the ample kitchen, and the organization that 4 large closets (1 walk in) this spacious apartment provides. Centrally located, the building is literally steps from the subway (ACEL, and a block from 123) and sits comfortably on a quiet, tree lined residential street between the Meat Packing District and Union square. All types of restaurants are just around the corner, as is the infamous Balducci's grocery.

Midtown West | Manhattan
Quick Profile
People, yellow cabs, bright lights, big crowds, 24-hour eateries and just about every type of store imaginable. it’s a frenetic buzz that only a few places on the globe can offer. And that’s just one part of it. Midtown West is the birthplace of hustle and bustle and it’s bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 8th Avenue to the west, and 5th Avenue to the east.
Midtown West is not as residential as other neighborhoods in Manhattan. The bustling part of Midtown West is 42nd Street between Times Square and 8th Avenues where the retail and office space, theatres, and attractions are. No matter what time of day it is, you'll always find activity there.
Residential buildings lay near the western end of Midtown West beginning around 8th Avenue.
Location, location, location. Of all the neighborhoods and enclaves of Manhattan, Midtown West is perhaps the most commutable place to live, visit, or work. It contains one of the highest concentrations of subway lines in the Big Apple. A, C, E, N, Q, R, 1, 2, 3, and the 7 train. The transit system feeds the streets with commuters from everywhere. The Port Authority Bus Terminal and nearby Penn Station adds to the number of people that flood Midtown on any given day.
It’s one of the easiest places in all of Manhattan to navigate because it’s a true grid. Uptown, street numbers go up. Downtown, street numbers go down. It’s the same concept from east to west. You really can’t get lost in Midtown West.
