New York City, New York
Founded in 1624 by the Dutch, New York City's history goes back to at least 1500.It's one of the most populous urban areas in the world where over 170 languages are spoken and most of the 8,000,000 plus people who live in the city will proudly defend it.
The history of New York City is one of great opposites. From industrial scions who built early skyscrapers and mansions to the people who survived the tenements of Hells Kitchen and the Lower East Side, the tapestry of the city continues to reweave itself. It's one of the most exciting and interesting places to live.
The Five Boroughs
New York City consists of five boroughs: Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Staten Island, and, of course, Manhattan. Each is unique. Each has its own characteristics. Each is special. When you start your search for your New York apartment, you'll want to consider proximity to work or school.
The transit system is one of the few that runs 24 hours a day, but some commutes can be long. Each area will also offer up various price ranges. Manhattan real estate is some of the most expensive in the world yet affordable apartments can be found. The other boroughs offer different styles of architecture, lifestyles and their own benefits.
Brooklyn has several hot areas and is now loved by artists. Staten Island offers water views and more space. Queens is perfect for people who work in Manhattan and want the convenience but more space and fewer tall buildings. The Bronx is revitalizing and is exciting.
The City Never Sleeps
As with any city this large, there is virtually everything to do. Even long term residents visit what are considered tourist spots and most even keep a guidebook around too. One of the benefits of living in such a city is that there is always something to do - 24 hours a day.
There's a reason it's called the city that never sleeps. It doesn't! When you find your New York apartment, you'll discover there's so much to do within blocks of home. You'll find plenty of outdoor space for sports, beaches that are a subway ride away, and quiet places to watch the boats on the rivers or in the harbor.
Best Ethnic Choices in the World
Because New York City has such a huge immigrant population, the variety in restaurants is vast. There are whole areas for specific types. Around 26th and Lexington in Manhattan, it's called Little India.
There's Chinatown and Little Italy on the Lower East Side. Queens is known for its Greek restaurants. Brighton Beach in Brooklyn is home to a number of Russian restaurants and a whole community of Russians. Find fabulous soul food in Harlem and all types of Latino foods in the Bronx.
Party All Night Long
Nightlife is similar. You can find anything any night of the week. The trendiest clubs are in SoHo in downtown Manhattan. Get a copy of TimeOut to figure out what's the hottest one - this week. Find great theatre in Brooklyn as well as on Broadway. Every borough has concert venues both large and small. Once in your New York City apartment, you find things right on your own block as well as across town.

I've got dogs. What are the best places in New York for being outdoors with pets?
Besides the obvious magnificent and world-famous Central Park, there are a wealth of great local parks where New York City residents can bring their favorite four-legged creatures for some fun in the sun. The famed Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village offers pooches a large dog run with water and tennis balls, as well as benches and some great people-watching for their owners. Dewitt Clinton Park in Hell's Kitchen is a quaint park with an abundance of plants and flowers, and a kiddie pool for the pups. Washington Heights Dog Park is another favorite local spot; a fairly large park with wood chips and plenty of shaded areas.

What areas of New York are safe for walking around at night?
New York City has such a wide variety of neighborhoods, and many of them are safer than one might expect. While it is always best to be alert at all times, some of the safest neighborhoods at night in the city include the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, the West Village, also known as Greenwich Village, SoHo, and TriBeCa. The Financial District in downtown Manhattan is also a very safe neighborhood, and quiet at nighttime. The East Village and Lower East Side also tend to be safe at night, due to the bustling nightlife in these areas.

Is New York a good place for families?
It depends on what you're looking for. The schools run the gamut, and unless you're close to Central Park, it's going to be difficult to teach your children how to do things like ride a bike in the busy city streets of New York City. But, as far as safety is concerned, there's no need to fear the big city more than most other places in the United States; New York has an overall crime rate of 30 per 1,000 residents, making the crime rate here near the average for all cities and towns of all sizes in America, and one of the lowest in the nation for its size. With a diverse population, loads of museums, and no end to culture, New York is a great place to raise a family if you prefer the city to the country or suburbia--and you can afford the expense that comes along with it.
