For the people who already settled in the New York City long back may go back to the memories of renting an apartment and experiences as resident-experiences when looking for NYC Apartments for rent-with a bit pride. Getting an apartment in New York City is a bit complicated and tiring process, you may take agents help but sometimes they make it more miserable by not getting the point which you are asking for. They don't find the exact apartment as you wanted instead they show some apartment and say this is the best they can find for their budget which you may not like it really. Even they convince that seven floors with narrow staircase will be attractive for the budget you have estimated for the rent. Finally it looks like even though you are earning good NYC salary still you feel like you wouldn't able to buy small space in Harry Potter's cupboard beneath the stairs.
As I started looking for the NYC Apartment for rent, I made a checklist of things so that I can find the best apartment. You can also find some listings on websites but I find to not so satisfactory list online, I feel like I should share my listing with you. This is the list of things to look for when you are planning a NYC Apartment for rent.
Neighbourhood and General
Closer to Subway: Need to find how far is your apartment to the subway, how much time it takes to reach the subway in case you are coming by walk? How much it is taking to reach to your work place once you get on the subway? Is this right choice to consider during the December (very cold), April (heavy rains), and in the month of the August (extremely hot)? Does goes around the neighbourhood so that you can explore?
Overall neighbourhood
Where can you buy your groceries which is closes enough to carry them to you house or not? What facilities do the neighbourhood has? Do you find good restaurants? Would people go out in your neighbourhood? Is it closer to Laundromat, dry cleaners, post office, and drugstores? Is the neighbourhood kid friendly? Is it near the schools? All these things are need to be considering before looking for NYC Apartment for rent.
