655 Second Avenue is an eight story post war rental building completed in 1982 in Murray Hill. Its 22 apartments include studios and one bedroom duplexes, with many layouts arranged across two levels and balconies appearing as a recurring feature. A garden duplex with a private multilevel garden and a penthouse duplex with a private terrace represent the building's most distinctive outdoor configurations.
Apartment interiors commonly have high ceilings, hardwood floors, and kitchens with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and dishwashers. Juliet balconies are a repeated feature, including layouts with one on each level of a duplex. The building also has laundry facilities and a mobile app video intercom.
Outdoor entertainment space and terraces or balconies are part of the building's amenity offering, while heat and hot water are included in the rent. The building is pet friendly, and rentals are offered without broker fees; Insurent, TheGuarantors, and Rhino are accepted. Leasing terms vary by apartment.
655 Second Avenue is directly across from a park and tennis courts, placing it on a quieter stretch of Second Avenue while remaining in the broader Murray Hill setting. The surrounding area includes restaurants, shops, and cultural destinations along Second Avenue and nearby Midtown.
