Overview of Plaza East at 340 East 34th Street

Plaza East is a 17 story, 198 unit rental building in Murray Hill, completed in 1962 and renovated in 1995. Its mid-block façade pairs beige brick with red brick banding, while a polished pink granite surround and canopy mark the entrance.

Many apartments have renovated interiors, generous living and dining areas, and substantial closet space, including walk-in closets in numerous one bedroom layouts. Kitchen plans range from open formats to separate or windowed rooms, and exposures are primarily northern or southern. A smaller group of layouts has full width private terraces or partial river views.

The full service building has a concierge, 24 hour doorman, central air conditioning, fitness center, bike room, rooftop terrace, and an attached garage with on-site parking. Pets are permitted. Plaza East is on East 34th Street, a few blocks south of the Manhattan entrance to the Queens Midtown Tunnel.

Broker & Resident Comments

This "young professional" haven in Murray Hill wins praise for its "exceptionally dedicated" staff and "fantastic" rooftop deck with "memorable views." While units run "cozy" (read: small), the building offers "well-maintained" amenities including a "never too crowded" gym and "spotless" 24-hour laundry facility. Located in a "perfectly balanced" neighborhood that "masterfully blends liveliness with tranquility," Plaza East stands out for its "professional management" and "outstanding" doorman service, though some note the "intimate quarters" may not suit all lifestyles.
