Renter’s City Guide to New York City

Introduction

The Big Apple, the center of the universe or the city that never sleeps. Whatever you call it, there’s no doubt that New York City is one of the most well-known in the world. While it’s no longer the capital of the United States, nowadays, the city is widely considered the financial, cultural and media capital of the world.

What is the population of New York City?

New York City is the most populated metropolitan area in the United States, with 8.5 million living across its five boroughs. It is also made up of a rich tapestry of different people and is consistently ranked among the best cities for young professionals, millennials, college grads and art lovers.

What is the area of NYC?

Around the size of Los Angeles, New York City is one of the largest megacities in the world, sprawling over 469 square miles.

What major cities are close to NYC?

Both Boston and Washington, DC, are about a 5-hour drive away from New York City.

What is the weather like in New York City?

With an average temperature of 76ºF, July is the hottest month in New York City, while January, the coldest, averages out at around 35ºF. Following four clear seasons, you can expect winters to be cold and wet, with an average of 25” snow per year. With a humidity level of around 72%, summers are typically warm and sunny. The transitional seasons of spring and fall are generally mild, though variable.

What are the pros of living in NYC?

Bustling with career opportunities, some of the nation’s best universities, vibrant nightlife, outstanding cultural scene and rich in ethnic diversity (over 800 languages are spoken here), New York City has something to offer to everyone.

How expensive is rent in NYC?

Living in a megacity doesn’t come cheap, and New York City is among the most expensive cities in the U.S. Average rents have increased drastically in the last decade.

Are commute times high in NYC?

New York City commute times are far higher than average. Most commuters rely on the public transport system, which is coincidentally the busiest in the Western hemisphere.

How much is a meal in NYC?

The price for a three-course meal for two in a mid-range restaurant in New York City can range between $60 and $130, while the cost of a cappuccino is around $5.

How much are utilities in NYC?

The monthly utility bill for a 915 sq. ft. apartment is $130 on average, and this will include electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage disposal. It’s worth noting that the figures are actually lower than the national average of around $160.

How much is public transportation in NYC?

The standard fare for subway and local bus rides is $2.75 for adults. Over half the city’s residents use public transportation to commute to work, so it’s worth buying a reloadable NYC MetroCard for frequent rides.

Jobs & Education

Where to work in NYC?

Midtown Manhattan enjoys a global reputation not just for its iconic skyline but also for being the largest central business district in the world, with several media and print journalism companies based here. The New York Stock Exchange also marks the city as a global financial hub. With over 62 million visiting The Big Apple in 2019, the tourism and hospitality industries are also flourishing. The city is hot on California’s heels when it comes to becoming the Silicon Valley of the east, and it’s also a popular spot for young professionals and startups.

Who are the largest employers in NYC?

New York’s large population means that all five of the city’s top employers come from the public sector; the NYC Department of Education, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the City of New York, the New York Health and Hospitals system and the U.S. federal government. Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase are the top employers within the metro area in terms of privatized companies.

Are public schools in NYC good?

Serving over 1 million students, the New York City Department of Education is the world’s biggest public school system. It serves more than 1 million students, with the government spending almost $20,000 per student per year. This is more than any other state.

What types of schools are there in NYC?

Schools of all shapes and sizes can be found in NYC, including public, private, public charter, all accepting students from grades K through 12. In terms of high schools, NYC is home to 9 top-rated and highly competitive specialized schools that cater to artistically and academically gifted students.

What are the top colleges in NYC?

With over one hundred colleges and universities accepting 600,000 students, there’s plenty of options available for those pursuing higher education in NYC.

The first thing to bear in mind is that the housing market is very dynamic, so even if you don’t find something that fits your price range straight away, something is bound to come up eventually.

Are there any pest issues in NYC rentals?

There are some apartments in the city that are prone to issues with bed bugs. So, be sure to check the Bed Bug Registry when seeking an apartment. Always ask for full disclosure of any potential issues with pests before signing a rent agreement, but be aware that landlords are not obliged to disclose prior problems with rodents. The best practice is to either ask upfront, or if you still have concerns, check the log of rodent incidents in the buildings you’re considering by logging on to the city government website.
