The Best Places To Live in NYC

Not sure where to begin looking for homes or apartment in New York? Apartment hunting in NYC is unlike anything that can be found in major metro areas like Washington D.C and Bethesda here in the DMV. Even the more residential areas of New York don’t compare to the neighborhoods we’re used to like Potomac and Rockville. Known for its diverse neighborhoods, New York can be hard to decide where to put your roots. Here’s a breakdown of the top places you might want to consider calling home:

  • Manhattan: The city’s most iconic borough, brimming with arts, entertainment, and endless city vibes.
  • Brooklyn: Known for its hipster culture, magnificent parks, and unique neighborhoods.
  • Queens: A diverse blend of cultures with some of the best international cuisine.
  • The Bronx: A borough rich in history, especially when it comes to music and art.
  • Staten Island: A serene residential island with beautiful parks and historical sites.

Beyond the boroughs, there are several cities outside of NYC that are popular among movers:

  • Yonkers: A perfect blend of urban and suburban with a touch of riverside beauty.
  • White Plains: A hub of business and shopping with a suburban charm.
  • New Rochelle: Known for its historic districts and stunning coastline.

These neighborhoods will quickly become your favorite areas to live, work, and explore.

Benefits of Moving to New York City From Maryland, DC or Northern Virginia

The DMV area has lots to offer both individuals & families. Several counties in Maryland & Virginia, including Loudon, Fairfax, Howard, and Montgomery counties, consistently land among the highest median income counties in the country. This also extends to the quality of schooling, roadways, & other publicly funded infrastructure and programs.  However, nowhere in the DMV compares to the major metropolitan hub that is New York City. The big apple isn’t just a city — it’s an experience. Home to a diverse population, every corner of this city has a story to tell. It stands tall as the thriving financial district of the country. And for foodies, NYC is the undisputed food capital of the U.S., offering an array of international cuisines at every corner. From arts and culture to fashion and entertainment, the city is filled with things to do. For those with family still in northern Virginia, Maryland or D.C, it’s only about a 4-hour drive from New York City, making weekend visits possible!  

Whether you’re strolling through its vibrant streets or soaking in its rich history, NYC never ceases to inspire and amaze. It’s a city where your dreams can meet reality, and every day is a new adventure.
