I actually find that an interesting question. It really is in the border area. In one way, if you wanted to draw strict lines, I guess you would say that above 59th street is "uptown" and thus the apartment is in midtown. The southern border is more difficult. I put it at 14th, but that's probably the prejudice of having lived downtown. 23rd would be reasonable as well. Especially now that Union Square has become so important (the greenmarket seems like a "downtown" thing to me.)
But 55th and 5th is hard to peg. If it was on the east side, like between 1st and Lex, I would be more tempted to say it was "uptown", since that area feels like the upper east side. But being right in the middle I have to go with midtown. Although it is clearly a very upscale midtown address - random beatings of potentially homeless persons aside.
