What to check before choosing a high-rise building near the 1 train in Midtown

  • Use the filters to narrow to 48+ floor buildings along the 1 train corridor, then sort by “with available apartments” to avoid stale options.
  • Confirm the building’s practical high-rise details: elevator count/backup plans, laundry setup, package handling, and noise patterns tied to street exposure.
  • Match your commute to the closest 1 train stops, then verify walking time at the hours you plan to travel (commute time can shift).
  • Check lease specifics directly with the building: renewal terms, rent-change schedule, and any documented restrictions that affect your unit or move-in date.
  • Before you apply, review total move-in costs (broker fee, deposits, and utility responsibilities), not just the monthly asking rent.
