Hell's Kitchen (or Clinton) makes up the largest residential area of West Midtown. Hell's Kitchen, the most Western section of Midtown, runs from Broadway to the Hudson River between 36th & 59th Street. Don't let the name fool you, Hell's Kitchen is a safe, convenient and very desirable area to live. The transportation and central location is unmatched anywhere in New York City. Ninth Avenue is busting with fashionable bars, shops, and restaurants and has become one of the most happening streets in Manhattan. Residential buildings are mixed with older walk-ups and top quality new construction. Consequently, rents can range dramatically depending on the quality of the building and its proximity to Central Park and the Commercial Center. 

Garment District, is on Seventh Avenue south of 42nd Street. Contrary to expectation, the Garment District is not great shopping. Like all areas in Midtown, this area is centrally located and transportation is excellent. The Garment District is just a few steps to Central Park, Midtown Commercial Center, Times Square, Chelsea and the Lincoln Tunnel. Residential housing is predominately older walk ups with some new construction mixed in. This areas proximity to the Lincoln Tunnel makes travel to New Jersey very convenient.

Times Square (or Theater District) runs from 53rd to 42nd streets, between 6th and 8th Aves. Encompassed by theatres,  playhouses, cinemas,  neon signs, million dollar billboard advertisements, nightclubs, hotels, televisions that make up the top of buildings, Times Square is the theatrical center of New York. As for housing there are sparse residential buildings in this area that range from super luxurious to older walk-ups. As a result rents vary greatly.
