It is a very calm neighborhood. Friendly and trustful neighbors make Murray Hill a comfortable place to live. The only reason I did not give the full five stars is that the neighborhood could use more upkeep. Even so, the area is improving dramatically.

In Murray Hill we have the Murray Hill Theater, The Edgewood Bakery, we have a lot of little shops that people like to go in. Coming soon we have a Maple Street Biscuit. Once again Murray Hill Baptist tries to do an outdoor movie twice a month. It is a way to get the Murray Hill community together also it is a kid friendly activity to do on a Friday night.

No matter where you go you will have people who drive like maniacs but other than those few. I would say that it is pretty safe as in people walking in the street. There are accidents but usually they are pretty minor.

There aren't any vacant houses really. There are houses for rent or sale but they are kept nicely. The houses are nice they are not huge but then again they are not small houses either. Most of the houses are three bedroom and two bathrooms. Most yards are usually kept up mostly because there are a lot of Murray Hill Landscaping people looking for yards to keep up. Depending on the house you are looking at rent with range to be about $600 or more.
