344 Clinton Street is a high-rise apartment complex in midtown Metropolis.
History
When Clark Kent arrived in Metropolis after spending several years abroad, he moved into apartment 3-D on the third floor. Clark remained at 344 Clinton Street during most of his career as Superman.
Post-Crisis
While Superman was exiled, a private investigator named Matthew Stockton broke into Clark's apartment to look for clues on behalf of Amanda McCoy, but at the same time assassins sent by Intergang to kill Clark Kent stumbled upon Matthew, thinking it was the reporter they killed him.[1] Later this event would cause Clark to get evicted, as the building manager saw it as a bad risk.[2]
During the brief period when Superman was considered "dead", the exuberant clone known as Superboy briefly took up residence in apartment 3-D.

Trivia
- In the Pre-Crisis continuity, Superman modified Kent's apartment to include several unique features including a fake wall, a secret closet (for storing Superman robots) and a personal trophy room. The front door to his apartment was outfitted with a secret lock that only Clark Kent knew about. None of these characteristics were preserved in the revised Post-Crisis version of 344 Clinton Street.
