Manhattan Overview

Has there ever been a more prominent location that the bright lights of Manhattan, New York? The old adage that if 'you can make it here you can make it anywhere' still holds true, and a world of opportunity and excitement awaits right on the doorstep of most Manhattan apartments. From the glitz of Broadway to the multitude of restaurants, museums and art galleries that line the famous streets, Manhattan is the gem of the Big Apple.

What is the history of Manhattan?

The most densely populated of New York's multiple boroughs, Manhattan's history is long and varied. Close to 60 million (!) tourists visited the city in 2015 alone, and since its rise to prominence in the 19th century, Manhattan has widely become viewed as one of the nation's financial and economic epicenters. The opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 expanded the scope of the population in Manhattan, with ease of access granting safe passage to more and more enthusiastic residents of apartments in Manhattan. The famous NY Subway system opened in the early 1900's, and Manhattan continued to flourish well through the year 2000 i just about every way.

How is the weather in Manhattan?

Like much of NYC, Manhattan enjoys pleasant spring and fall months, with summers typically hot and humid. Winters can see snowfall and freezing temperatures, but generally nothing close to the extreme accumulation typical of upstate regions like Buffalo or Syracuse.

How do I get around town?

A majority of Manhattan apartment residents use their feet to get around the city, with bicycling a close second. The subway system is hugely popular with good reason, offering easy access to many of the various neighborhoods as well as numerous other boroughs. The famous NYC taxis are omnipresent on Manhattan streets, and the bus system also runs throughout much of the city. JFK Airport is one of the busiest and most expansive in the nation, offering both domestic as well as international flights every day. The famous Grand Central Station offers train connections direct to the airport, as well as transfers to upstate as far as Poughkeepsie.

What is the Manhattan commute like?

The legendary NYC traffic is for real, and Manhattan gridlock can be legendary. Located on a grid system, the term 'crosstown traffic' was practically defined by Manhattan roadways like the Trans-Manhattan Expressway. The Henry Hudson Parkway leads directly into the city from the George Washington Bridge, and drivers can expect brutal traffic during peak hours. The Holland Tunnel and other avenues of entry / exit often get clogged with congestion during the commute as well, further justifying many Manhattan residents' choice to get around without the use of a personal car.

What are the local media outlets?

Home to some of the most famous news outlets in the world including the 'New York Times' and the 'New York Post', Manhattan apartment residents will have no shortage of media options at their fingertips. From the 'Wall Street Journal' to the 'Village Voice', an awe-inspiring assortment of radio options to broadcast stations like PBS and FOX-News, Manhattan is an epicenter of media and journalism from every angle.

Why live in Manhattan, NY?

Thousands have been drawn to the glamour of New York City every year, and Manhattan practically personifies the Big Apple. Home to the New York Yankees as well as Madison Square Garden, this 'city within the city' is an epicenter of culture, as well as one of the largest job markets in the entire world.

What Manhattan landmarks should I see?

Where to start? In a city that practically defined the term 'skyscraper', Manhattan stands tall with a huge array of historic landmarks. Stroll the theater district and imagine your name in lights near Times Square. NYU and Columbia University are stately campuses worth visiting, and Lincoln Center, The Natural History Museum and China Town are all simply must-see stops around Manhattan.

What is there to do around Manhattan?

There are so many options for fun in Manhattan that is can almost seem overwhelming! Tour the legendary Statue of Liberty, or catch a rock show at the classic Bowery Ballroom. The remains of CBGBs can be seen on Joey Ramone Street, and the impressive scope of The Strand Bookstore is truly a sight to behold. From cheering on the Knicks to catching a nearby baseball game with the Mets, Manhattan apartments offer a world of activity and culture.

Any annual festivals or Manhattan events to know?

The International Film Festival calls Manhattan home, as does much of the New York Comedy Festival. Street fests and block parties can be found almost every week, while annual events like the Oyster Festival draw in foodies from miles around. And don't forget the oh-so-famous Macy's Day Parade!

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

The Jersey Shore is a quick hop from Manhattan, while many choose to head to the beaches of Long Island as well. Boston and beyond are easily driveable weekend getaways too.

Where is the best place to move in Manhattan?

Manhattan offers a huge array of options for many lifestyles and budgets. Downtown is largely limited to shops and high end real estate, while the lower east side is likely the most affordable area. The upper west side caters to lofty townhomes for the most part, with easy access to Central Park and beyond. Wherever you end up, one thing is for sure - there's nowhere like Manhattan!
