Finding An Apartment In New York City

City Living With Churchill

I remember my first time trying to find an apartment in New York City, I felt miserable and confused. I have so many stories where I show up to apartments that didn’t match up with the photos posted online by the broker. Some apartments did not even have a ceiling installed. I did not know about broker’s fee. I didn't understand the difference between net effective rent versus gross rent. I was so confused and I didn't understand what I should be looking for.

Each summer there's a huge influx of people moving to the city, trying to find new apartments. All these dreamers come into the city, wanting to find a new spot to be in the midst of it all. At the same time, you just have a group of people that already live in the city and are looking to move to a new burrough and have a real fresh start.

This week, I sit down with broker Jason Christie from the Polaris NYC team to get some tips and insights on how to best find an apartment in New York. From the time you begin searching to the time you sign the lease, he drops a lot of great gems.

I wish you luck, you need a lot of luck to find an apartment in New York, it is very convoluted, it is very complex. I hope this conversation provides you with the information needed once you begin your apartment search in New York.
