You’ve watched it on TV and seen it in the movies. You have dreamed your whole life of it. Then one day that dream is going to become a reality - you’re moving to NYC! Maybe your job is moving you, or you have fallen in love, or you are just taking the plunge however when you open the internet to check out homes and you’re in shock! You can’t believe the cost of housing here. For the same price of buying a home here, you could probably get a mansion with a butler and staff for a similar price. So now what do you do? Do you give up on your dream or do you get to call yourself a New Yorker? We allow you to do that after living here for 10 years.

Budget and space are the major concerns of most people moving here. Then you want to think about why are you moving here? If it’s to enjoy the city then you are in luck as it’s the best one we know of. If it’s for closets and multiple living rooms this might not be the best spot. Once you start looking at properties based on budget and how you want to live you’ll get a better idea but go in with your eyes open knowing that you probably will have less space than you would outside of NY.
