Property Description for 17 West 54th Street, 5-A

This amazing Rockefeller one bedroom has maintained many of its original details yet has a modern windowed kitchen, bathroom, and powder room. The large north-facing living room opens into a square, windowed dining area with a western exposure, and the apartment is pin-drop quiet. The original herringbone floors, decorative fireplace and other details are intact and there are serene views of the newly landscaped interior garden from brand new casement windows and through-the-wall air conditioning.

This iconic building was designed in 1936 by Wallace K. Harrison and built by the Rockefellers. It is now landmarked and considered a tribute to the art deco style of the time. The Rockefeller Apartments is an oasis in busy Midtown, across the street from MOMA, and walking distance to the theatre district, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and Central Park.

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.
