The Midtown East One Bedroom Condo Market has a very robust amount of inventory. Midtown East is one of those areas that can encompass a number of different neighborhoods within it’s general borders. I am describing the Midtown East Condo Market has being geographically located from 57th Street on the Northern Border, 34th Street on the Southern Border and everything between the East River and Fifth Avenue. Naturally that is a very large area so a lot of condominium buildings will be located in this area.
Some of the neighborhoods that could be somewhat included here are Murray Hill, Sutton Place, and Turtle Bay.
There is a vary wide range of Midtown East One (1) Bedroom Condominium Apartments For Sale available. The price range for a Midtown East 1 Bedroom Condos for sale starts around $550,000 and goes up to $2,850,000.

In total as of this post, I see approximately 130 One Bedroom Midtown East Condos for sale. That might seem like a very large number but what is important is to look at the break down of the price ranges because people searching in the $750,000 range don’t look in the $1,500,000+ range.

Most of the apartments will be in the 600-650 sq ft range, in doorman buildings probably built in the late 1980s. What you won’t see is new construction apartments, high floor with amazing views, completely renovated. You may see one of those elements but not all of them.

You will start to see apartments have a 2nd Half Bath, some apartments will start to be on higher floors(25+). Something to consider is that in this area more than likely to get a nice view you will have to be in the 20+ floor range, any lower and you might be looking at the other side of another taller building.
