Homes
in Murray Hill.

Murray Hill, counted here together with Kips Bay, has 42,824 homes in 896 residential buildings, and most of its housing is postwar and tall. The median year built is 1964, the typical home is in a building of 21 floors, and 55 percent of homes are in buildings with 20 floors or more, a group that takes in the towers along Second and Third Avenues. More than two thirds of homes are in elevator buildings and a fifth in condominiums; walk-ups hold one in ten, and houses under 1 percent.

Brownstone rows on the side streets, some of them in the Murray Hill Historic District, belong to the 29 percent of homes in buildings from before 1940. About one in ten homes is in a building from 2000 or later, and nearly a quarter are co-ops.

Murray Hill's typical home sits in a 21 floor building, and nearly nine in ten homes are in buildings with elevators or in condominiums, so most pickups go through a lobby and a service elevator. Put the front desk's instructions and the elevator hours in the access notes on the tag, and say if the service entrance is around the corner from the main door. In a walk-up, which is one home in ten here, tell us the floor and how steep the stoop and stairs are.
