Kips Bay Apartments for Rent
About Kips Bay Neighborhood

Kips Bay spans a small stretch of the East River from East 34th street to East 27th street, and borders third Avenue to the west. Called an “anonymous neighborhood with fringe benefits” by the New York Times, the neighborhood is next-door to midtown, and equal parts residential and government buildings. The majority of First Avenue is occupied by medical and educational facilities, giving the neighborhood easy access to good schools. Side streets between the major avenues are elegant, with overhead foliage and brownstones and townhouses. The neighborhood also has a variety of shops, bars and restaurants, making it bustling but less hectic than its truly-midtown counterparts. It hosts an impressive number of family-friendly grocery stores and pharmacies but is a short twenty-minute walk or bus ride from happening East Village and Houston Street. The neighborhood overall flies under the radar despite its quality housing and convenience.
