What's bad about midtown (crazy/drug addicted people, high rents) is mostly true of the rest of Manhattan. What's good about midtown (insanely convenient by public transit) is unique to Midtown. Having said that, parts of midtown are very touristy, which is good in some ways (rarely deserted at night) but bad in others (annoyingly crowded).
Midtown is such an incredible place to be at. There are so many things you can do such as go shopping, eat different kinds of food, watch movies, go to free concerts, look at the amazing architecture, and so much more!
If I could rate Manhattan as a whole, I would and at 5 stars. However, this is asking about my specific 'hood, which is Midtown South, and I cannot rate it 5 stars for several reasons. Being located near the Empire State Building, it is a fight to get home walking along 34th Street (any adjacent street, too) is nearly impossible. Often times I find myself walking in the street. The housing availability is also abysmal. I do not often see rentals available because the neighborhood is more business-oriented. On the plus side, commuting is easy because it is a stone's throw from nearly all the main subway lines. You have several restaurants around. Shopping is made easy because you are near several shops on 34th.
While it's a nice place to live if you are commuter heavy, if given another choice I'd move.
