A riverfront walkway and minutes from Midtown
Kips Bay, named after a Dutchman from the 1600s who operated farmland in the area, is a rare neighborhood where Manhattanites embrace their proximity to the water. Many condo and co-op buildings have views of the East River and the skylines of Brooklyn and Queens, and a waterfront path offers exercise for walkers and cyclists. With slightly lower prices than neighboring Gramercy Park, and immediate access to NYU Langone Medical Center, Kips Bay is a sensible place to live. “The greatest thing about being here is that you’re obviously in Manhattan, but it’s a little quieter,” says Risa Morley, a Kips Bay resident who’s been selling real estate for 10 years. “We’re really central, but we’re tucked away.”
The river view from Kips Bay is one of a kind.

Co-ops under $700,000 with East River view upgrades
Many prewar low-rises and several townhouses remain on the tree-lined side streets of Kips Bay. In the 1960s and ‘70s, high-rise development added substantial housing to the avenues – such as the Kips Bay Towers, designed by I.M. Pei. The Hendrix House, a 12-story condo tower at 25th Street and Second Avenue, will combine luxury amenities with a dedicated home office area inside every unit. Studio-sized co-ops in the neighborhood, often with extra alcoves, start at $500,000. One-bedrooms begin at $700,000, and large two-bedrooms go for $1.6 to $1.9 million. Condos range between $1 million and $4 million, and deliver views of the Midtown skyline or the East River.

A low-key food scene with pizza, margaritas and knishes
“I’ve lived in Kips Bay for 24 years, and the restaurant choices have raised the bar so much here,” Morley says. Mexico Lindo has been turning out fajitas and margaritas since 1972, and 2nd Ave Deli is a local institution for kosher noshes. Vezzo makes authentic thin-crust pizza, and Surreal Creamery is a favorite for over-the-top desserts. Dover Street Market is a destination for high-end clothing, and for groceries, there’s Trader Joe’s and Fairway Market. The AMC movie theater is also less crowded than the cineplexes one mile away in Union Square.
Vezzo in Kips Bay is known for its thin crust pizza.

Local subway and interborough ferries
The 6 train is the only subway that’s within walking distance from Kips Bay. A few buses serve the area, and two ferry stops — at Stuyvesant Town Landing and 34th Street — take residents to Wall Street and over to Brooklyn and Queens. For $195, busy New Yorkers can helicopter from the 34th Street helipad to reach JFK or Newark airports in five minutes.
The ferry landing in Kips Bay provides service to all of New York City.

Compact parks and miles of riverfront
St. Vartan Park packs a ton of amenities — including a baseball and football field — into a compact space. Bellevue South Park has more playgrounds and basketball courts, and the pocket-sized Vincent F. Albano, Jr. Playground gives kids another spot to run and climb. Madison Square Park, a 10-minute walk from the center of Kips Bay, has room to stroll, although it’s more convenient to walk or bike on the East River Greenway.

Limited public schools and an outstanding IB program
Kips Bay has two public options for preschool through fifth grade: P.S. 116 Mary Lindley Murray and P.S. 281 The River School, both with A grades from Niche. The private United Nations International School offers an International Baccalaureate education for preschool through 12th grade, and Baruch and NYU’s dentistry school bring college students to the area.
Kips Bay's PS 116 offers a nurturing environment for future leaders.

Moved to the area for internship related work, as it was the most affordable for the area and cut my commute to a fraction of the usual time. Families are always around, local grocery stores minutes away, everything at the palm of your hands.
