Is Manhattan, NY safe?

Transit

• MTA New York City Transit serves the complex via the L subway line at 1st Ave & 14th St right on the southwest corner, alongside high-frequency M14A-SBS and M14D-SBS crosstown Select Bus Service routes.
• The MTA provides subway service via the 4, 5, and 6 trains at the 86th St station and the 6 train at 96th St, supplemented by the Q train along 2nd Avenue and frequent M1, M2, M3, and M4 bus routes on 5th and Madison Avenues.
• MTA Subway service is frequent via the 4, 5, 6 lines on Lexington Avenue, the Q line along Second Avenue, and the F train serving Roosevelt Island alongside the Roosevelt Island Tramway. Major bus corridors include the M15-SBS on 1st/2nd Avenues and the cross-town M66/M72/M79 routes.

Biking & trails

• Citi Bike stations are densely distributed around the perimeter and interior entrances, offering direct access onto the adjacent East River Greenway multi-use bike path.
• Citi Bike docking stations are available throughout the neighborhood, providing direct connections to the Central Park loop drive and the East River Greenway.

Parking

• Street parking on perimeter avenues is strictly regulated with meters and alternate-side rules; several underground parking garages managed on-site are available to visitors at standard Manhattan hourly rates ($25 to $50+).
• Street parking is notoriously difficult due to dense residential demand and strict alternate-side parking regulations; several commercial parking garages operate nearby, typically charging $45 to $75 per day.
