Midtown West, formerly known as Hell's Kitchen, was never an attractive neighborhood to live in. However, times have changed and so has this area of the city. For the past century, the typical apartment here was in a walkup tenement building; now it is a luxury rental with outstanding amenities including health clubs, beautiful granite kitchens and marble bathrooms. With the additions of the many luxury buildings that have been built recently, Midtown West has become a popular neighborhood to live in.
