New York is arguably one of the greatest city in the world. There are so many references to New York and its real estate demand that I did not know where to start to find accommodation.
Finding an apartment to rent can be a very tedious task unless you go to http://www.newyorkapartmentstorent.org which is a free service that will show you the hottest apartments available.
I personally prefer to own rather than rent, but finding a good apartment to buy is like snow boarding; fast and furious. I have seen apartments come up for sale and disappear faster than a New York minute. Good apartments almost never find their way onto the apartment listings. Some resort to looking through obituaries to get ahead of the pack; which I find to be morally complicated.
I found these 2 websites,
http://www.buyapartmentnewyork.com and
http://www.findapartmentinnewyorkcity.com while searching for the best apartment listings for New York state and New York city. The listings are not comprehensive but you will find that they update much more quickly than other sites. Of-course either site does not charge a cent for the good services they render.
You will find that when you know where to look you can find any kind of place to live in New York city. Before I close off I would like to recommend one more site to the cash conscious buyer who would like to find an affordable place to live while not reducing their budget to go to the theater and enjoying the magnificient culture that is the Big Apple.
The site is http://www.cheapaccommodationinnewyorkcity.com and it has very good ideas and information on finding great affordable accommodation.
