Bustling Urban Walkable Pedestrian-Friendly Entertainment Subway Upscale

NoMad — short for North of Madison Square Park — begins at its namesake park and extends to West 30th Street. This historic Manhattan neighborhood sits between Chelsea and Kips Bay, and contains nearly 100 buildings, many dating back to the late 19th century. Like most NYC neighborhoods, NoMad is very pedestrian-friendly with easy access to the subway and buses, and the grid of Manhattan making it simple to walk to your destination as well. This small neighborhood is packed with restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, nightclubs, and hotels.

Madison Square Park became a park in 1847, named for President James Madison. In 1832, the first Madison Square Garden was built at the corner of 26th Street and Madison Avenue. Before it moved uptown, it was the site of Ringling Brothers circuses, theatrical performances, and the site of the 1924 Democratic National Convention.

NoMad apartments put you in the heart of the City that Never Sleeps while offering a rich history and culture. After moving to NoMad, be sure to visit some of the neighborhood’s top restaurants, which include the 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar, Upland, ILILI, and the Flatiron Room.
