"Hell's Kitchen, also known as Clinton and Midtown West, is a neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, between 34th Street in the south, 59th Street in the north, Eighth Avenue in the east, and the Hudson River in the west."

That's more a few blocks, and those blocks that are covered are densely populated.

Having said that, I totally agree that it's unrealistic that Daredevil wouldn't be following the murders. They were high profile, and Hope's arrest seemed to get a lot of coverage. So it doesn't make sense that he didn't know about it, and it makes less sense that he'd ignore it. Hell's Kitchen is a pretty huge area then. Still, the stories about Daredevil and Hope definitely got around.

Daredevil couldn't exactly do much for Hope. She was in prison, confessed to her crimes, and he might not even believe in mind control. And seeing how Hope has lawyers already, I can't think where Matt or Daredevil could fit into the JJ storyline. Well, throwing an investigation of his own. We have already seen, how effective he is, for example when he was searching for that girl kidnapped by the Russian mob or when he found Fisk, who was fleeing the city, just by standing on top of a building. Plus, he could ask anyone in Kilgrave victim group and know that Kilgrave exists.

From there, it could be really interesting, since Jessica often seemed very outmatched and Daredevil would probably be able, thanks to his extensive training, to resist Kilgrave´s mind-control.

I think that he wasn´t there simply because when they pay an actor, they just have to get enough screen time to justify the cost, plus Daredevil means some stunt expenses as well...
