Renter's guide to New York, NY

Congratulations – you've just landed in NYC – center of the universe. Everyone needs to experience this thrilling concrete jungle to truly understand the magic that is Manhattan. Watch as Tompkins Square becomes a winter wonderland, graffiti becomes poetry, and dreams become realities in this city that never sleeps.

It's no surprise that New York City is the most populous city in the United States; everyone wants to take a bite out of the big apple. Spanning just over 204 square-miles and overseen by the Statue of Liberty who professes to protect the tired, poor and huddled masses, NYC is home to more than 8 million people living in the city's five boroughs, with more than a third of them born outside the U.S. Welcome to the true melting pot of America. And a fair warning: bagels and pizza outside of this city will never compare.

New York's main airport, John F. Kennedy International, is one of the busiest in the world, and it's easy to see why. This buzzing, bustling city has been the subject of endless stories--from Broad City to Friends, Sex and the City to Hamilton--so it's no surprise it's the most-visited city in the U.S. No matter where you go in NYC, you're sure to find yourself in a neighborhood fully charged with character.

New York City is also a breeding ground for big business. With the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange, Dow Jones & Company, Moody's, Bloomberg, JP Morgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley, New York sits at the helm of the global economy. Then you have your media moguls - HBO, Showtime, MTV, Univision, CBS, Food Network, and DC Comics. And of course, there is fashion, with familiar brands like Bloomingdale's, Ann Taylor, J. Crew, and Calvin Klein all headquartered in the city. America's sports organizations all call NYC home- the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB have their headquarters here. With massive finance, media, communications, and technology industries, and an ever-evolving creative and entrepreneurial class, it's no wonder they call it the city that never sleeps.

Are you a Columbia University student? The northern edge of this hood is the perfect location for off-campus housing options.

Hell's Kitchen

A diverse neighborhood in Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen is full of culture and entertainment. With close proximity to Broadway, it's historically been a haven for performing artists, and that trend continues today. Its bustling streets, locally-owned shops, and eclectic restaurant scene are the pride of this district. Hell's Kitchen's working class roots mixed with a wave of young professionals and an emerging LGBTQ community add to the richness of diversity here. Check out the Pershing Square Signature Center, a massive performing arts center, and New World Stages, a five-stage Off Broadway theater complex.

Financial District

You can't help but feel important walking down the bustling streets amidst the dazzling skyscrapers in the Financial District. Home to the New York Stock Exchange, the largest stock exchange in the world, and the World Trade Center, the Financial District is where business happens. Surprisingly, this district is filled with reasonably priced high rise apartments for rent and plenty of things to do outside the office. Head to Battery Park at the southern point of the Financial District for an incredible view of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

Midtown East

When you think of quintessential NYC, Midtown East is it. Iconic skyscrapers and classic New York landmarks like the Chrysler Building and Grand Central Station make Midtown East a happening NYC spot for tourists and locals alike.

Try Brandy Library for old-school cocktails done right, then dine at Brushstroke and order something off their ever-evolving, seasonal menu. Be sure to stick around for the Tribeca Film Festival, which takes place in April.

East Village

Once known as the center of Bohemia, the East Village is a tight-knit community full of spirit and grit. It hosts a prolific culinary and bar scene and is prime for people watching. Artists like Diane Arbus and Andy Warhol were inspired by this treasured pocket of lower Manhattan and it's easy to see why. Seen the Broadway show "Rent"? The cast sang about not paying their own rent in this very neighborhood. Shop at East Village's used record stores or have a picnic in Tompkins Square Park. Up for a drink? The East Village is packed with bars, both new and old, so you won't need to walk very far to find one. Check out a true speakeasy, PDT (Please Don't Tell), and an oldie but goodie, Holiday Cocktail Lounge.

Central Harlem

Best known for its birth of the Harlem Renaissance cultural revolution in the 20's, this cutting edge neighborhood in Uptown Manhattan is defined by its heart and soul. Harlem is home to many lifelong residents as well as a history of literature, jazz and civil rights. With a great sense of community, this hood is all about music, food and cultural events. Future residents looking for rentals will likely come across a combination of late 19th century brownstones, new buildings, and even affordable apartments with a view of Central Park.

Greenwich Village

This neighborhood is home to some of the best comedy clubs in the city (Comedy Cellar, Gotham Comedy Club, Comedy Village Club) and dive bars galore. Think of Washington Square Park as your new playground, and, if you're a student looking for apartments near NYU, your new campus! A mix of students, families and young professionals, this hood is home to all walks of life and offers stellar public transportation. Head to the Stonewall Inn, now a designated National Historic Landmark, and grab a drink at America's first LGBT national park site.

Williamsburg

Artists of Manhattan and beyond have long-populated this area of Brooklyn, creating a young, creative and confident vibe in a trendsetting neighborhood. In the past 15 years or so, this hood has become vibrantly-filled with inventive restaurants, music venues, and art spaces. On Bedford Avenue, you'll find hipsters at Turkey's Nest Tavern and families strolling through McCarren Park. Planning to commute into Manhattan? Jump on the L, M, or J trains and you're at work in no time. Come home to Williamsburg and head to Lucky Dog for happy hour drinks, followed by Pokito Brooklyn for Latin and Asian-inspired dishes

Downtown Brooklyn

The center of business in Brooklyn, Downtown is hectic by day but settles down in the evening. This vibrant hood is home to some of the best restaurants in Brooklyn, as well as great parks and cute shops. It houses New York City College of Technology, the U.S. IRS, the NYC Transit Authority, and the NYC Board of Education, but also a handful of parks and green spaces. You'll also be a short walk from other Brooklyn neighborhoods, where there's a big food and drink scene. In Downtown Brooklyn, you'll enjoy a balance of business and pleasure.

Fort Greene

Feel the love in this serene, mellow Brooklyn hood. This is a great place to settle down, but it's certainly not lacking in diversity or youthful energy. Enjoy the flea markets, important cultural institutions and the stunning Fort Greene Park, the oldest park in Brooklyn. Find the perfect high-ceilinged brownstone apartment in Fort Greene; they're known for being rather stunning here!

Greenpoint

Embracing Brooklyn's artistic side, Greenpoint is home to creative young professionals who provide this up-and-coming neighborhood with its edge. Although similar in feel to Williamsburg, Greenpoint is quieter, more industrial and rents tend to be lower, at least for now! Greenpoint is removed from the city, providing an escape from the congestion and the hustle and bustle, which has encouraged many young renters to rush to this neighborhood. Many lofts and apartments have rooftops that offer an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline, too. If you're looking for a laidback lifestyle and an intimate community without being too far removed from the city, Greenpoint is for you.

Long Island City

Youthful and energetic, this area of Queens is also one of the most scenic. From beautiful views of the East River to a close-up view of the iconic Manhattan skyline, Long Island City sure is a looker. Approachable, culturally diverse and affordable, this hood is perfect for the younger crowd. Families will also enjoy living here, as there are plenty of playgrounds, museums, and theaters to explore on the weekends.

Astoria

One of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in Queens, Astoria has its fair share of nightlife, trendy bars, and restaurants that won't break the bank. Fan of Greek food? Astoria might be the hood for you, especially if you check out Taverna Kyclades, rumored to be some of the best Greek food in the city. This neighborhood can hold its own against Manhattan, too; on a weekend you can shop at an independently-owned bookstore, grab a bite to eat in a garden patio, catch a comedy show at Q.E.D. and soak up some rays in 59-acre Astoria Park.

The Bronx

The northernmost of New York's five boroughs, The Bronx is home to the New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx Zoo, and, of course, Yankee Stadium. A friendly and vibrant New York City borough, you can find spacious and affordable rental apartments here. Take a walk through 2,700+-acre Pelham Bay Park--the city's largest (yes, even bigger than Central Park!) – or head to Yankee Stadium and stop in at one of the many sports bars surrounding it.

Staten Island

Although it holds the title of the city's least populated borough, Staten Island's sunny small-town vibe is cherished by those looking to escape the madness of the big city. Ask a local why they moved here, and you're likely to hear “free ferry rides” or “half-price apartments”, but ask why they stay and you'll really get to the core of the culture. Staten Island offers fanciful old neighborhoods with wood-frame houses and turn-of-the-century charmers, quiet suburban enclaves and artistic hubs. With its semi-isolated location, tight-knit community, and 58-square-mile boundary shaped like a New York slice of pizza, this borough feels like a world of its own.
