I always used to dream of living in New York City – and I still do in many ways. It’s my favourite city in this whole world, and somewhere I’ve visited a number of times and always enjoyed my stay. If I was to move anywhere in the world – it would be New York. So let’s take a look at how realistic this could be…
For a 1 bed apartment on 2nd Avenue – you’re looking at $3,500 plus.
If you’re looking for a 1 bed apartment in the Lower East Side – you’re looking at $4,500 plus.
And if you’re looking for a 1 bed apartment in The Bronx – you’re looking at $1,200 plus.
So before you are sold on the dream of living in the city – make sure your goals are realistic, and that you can live affordably in the place you desire, otherwise you may be left living somewhere you don’t feel happy or safe.
