Post Grad Apartments

Currently one of the city’s hottest neighborhoods (for those that can afford to write the steep monthly rent checks), Chelsea is considered quite the ‘fashionable’ place to live. Perfectly situated between Penn Station and the West village, this chic and trendy neighborhood is best known for hot area nightlife, art galleries and the accompanying artist’s lofts.

The Financial District has become more of a residential neighborhood attracting many young people to luxury doorman living.

TriBeCa, acronym for (Triangle Below Canal), has always been reserved for the hip and the fabulous, which is why Forbes has recently named it Manhattan's most expensive zipcode.

The village has a reputation of being the most “happening” place downtown filled with an air of artsy personality, hipsters, actors, photographers, and musicians. It has a young and very “downtown” vibe, offering great restaurants, jazz cafes, comedy clubs, and more. The Village is a distinctive area of Manhattan, reminiscent of European cities, such as Paris and Budapest. Those interested, be ready to break the bank as this may be the MOST expensive area of New York City living.

The Lower East Side screams artistic personality and is filled with walk-in restaurants, dive bars and students of all backgrounds and interests. Old-world shops sit side by side with funky, new boutiques and galleries that showcase the best of New York's avant-garde fashion scene. Refurbished lofts and duplexes, and turn of the century walk-up buildings are common occupancy here. With the growth of the neighborhood, it is no surprise that prices have increased and more trendy shops and restaurants have emerged.

Home of the largest population of post graduate fraternity and sorority types, Murray Hill is often stereotypically known only for just this, well this and the abundance of Indian restaurants lining Lexington Avenue (hence the reference “curry hill”). The 3rd Avenue bar scene is filled weeknight and weekends alike with post grads drinking beer specials to excess. Gramercy by contrast, is home of the infamous Gramercy Park and several of New York’s top rated restaurants.

Home to Grand Central Station and the United Nations building this neighborhood lacks distinction, known primarily as the area between Murray Hill and the Upper East Side. New luxury high-rise buildings are popular among professionals who are a walk away from midtown offices. The area hosts numerous ‘sceney’ restaurants and is only a walk away from the popular 5th Avenue shopping.

Many consider Midtown West to be the heart of New York City, known for the bright lights of Times Square, Broadway Shows, and being a general Mecca of tourist activity and entertainment. Other neighborhoods included in Midtown West are Hell's Kitchen, Clinton, the Garment District and Fashion Center. Inexpensive living draws a young crowd willing to “put up” with the masses.

Despite the upper west side’s reputation as being the place where baby carriages compete for sidewalk space on the weekend with finance types in fleece and khakis, the residents of the Upper Westside know the truth: the proximity to two parks (Central and Riverside), the availability of brownstone living, the laid-back vibe, good neighborhood spots for the recently graduated (although beware the B&T crowd on weekends) the mix of old and young, and easy access to other neighborhoods makes for a very pleasant place to live.

One of the most affluent and prestigious neighborhoods in Manhattan, the Upper East Side offers tree-lined streets, restaurants, and a steady supply of boutique shopping. Previously known as a “family friendly” area, many young professionals are making the move uptown to enjoy a better relative value (per square foot) on their apartment, with close access to a very active bar scene on 2nd Avenue.

Not a whole lot to say about this area. You are ABOVE Central Park. Once you move to the city, and choose not to live here, you will understand.
