Top rated buildings near the M42 bus in Manhattan

On this page, “top rated” is a category for buildings with high Openigloo review scores. Use it to narrow options, then read the underlying renter comments to understand what people liked or complained about.

The scope is Manhattan, with the search constrained to buildings near the M42 bus corridor. When comparing buildings, verify the exact stop closest to your daily route and the walking time you’re comfortable with.

This page is focused on the multi-filter pair (M42 bus + top rated), not a guaranteed-availability filter. Check each building’s live status on Openigloo before planning a tour.

Confirm the full move-in picture: deposits and fees, any required documents, utilities responsibilities, and current lease/renewal terms. Also confirm building-specific policies like pets, laundry, and package procedures.

Ratings reflect what renter-readers have shared, and review coverage varies by building. Treat the score as guidance, then validate details with tenant Q&A and direct questions to the building.

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.

Use tenant Q&A to shortlist the questions that matter to you (maintenance response times, noise, billing practices, or policy exceptions). Then bring the answers you get back to the leasing office to confirm what’s current.
