Some still argue about the exact boundaries of Hell's
Kitchen, but these days it's commonly considered to run from 34th to 59th Streets and from Eighth Avenue to the Hudson River.
The area is also known as Clinton and long-time residents use the two terms interchangeably.
It has been a long time
since Hell's Kitchen earned its reputation - the one from the gang fights in "West Side Story" in the 60's. Hells Kitchen
has always been a neighborhood, made up of blue-collar families in walk up railroad flats and theatre people who wanted to
live close to where they work. For 15 years the neighborhood has been changing. It has become renovated, gentrified.
The new generation of Hell's Kitchen, are folks who started looking on the Upper West Side and Chelsea then realized they
could enjoy much the same lifestyle in midtown west. For the past century, the typical apartment was a walkup tenement now
it's a luxury rental or condo with post modern finishes: grandiose lobby, lots of granite, lots of glass, high-speed Internet
access and health club. If you are interested in purchasing or selling a coop or condo apartment in Clinton/Hells Kitchen
