Some would say that NYC doesn’t have a bad place for living as it is the most famous city in the world. However, some places in NYC are better than others just like in any city. Picking a new neighborhood is not easy. There are a lot of aspects that you need to think about. Unfortunately, you can’t find an ideal place that has everything you need. There will always be something that is not to your liking. That’s why when you are choosing your new home, you should choose your priorities first. Some people want to be close to their workplace while others choose affordability over the location. For this reason, when you are moving to NYC with Divine Moving and Storage NYC, you should move to a better neighborhood in NYC. So, here is a list of the best places to choose when moving to NYC.

What are the best places to choose when moving to NYC?

NYC is a very big city and one of the most popular in the world. It’s also a dream city for many people. However, NYC is not a city without flaws and there are places that are not very good for living. As you know, NYC has five boroughs: Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, and Long Island. Additionally, NYC has over 300 neighborhoods. This information could be a bad and good thing. The good thing is you have a lot of options to choose from. Luckily, you don’t have to search much for the best moving company as you only need to hire Brooklyn movers for your relocation. As NYC has five boroughs, it’s only fair to mention the best neighborhoods from all five of them:

  • Upper West Side, Manhattan
  • Williamsburg, Brooklyn
  • Riverdale, Bronx
  • Sunnyside, Queens
  • Massapequa, Long Island

There are many good places for living in NYC

What are the best neighborhoods in Queens for a living?

Queens is a great place for living in NYC. It has around 2,2 million residents and it’s one of the safest places to live in NYC. You won’t make a mistake if you choose to move here with Queens movers. Queens has 91 neighborhoods which is a lot. It’s not possible to list here all the good Queens neighborhoods as there are too many of them. However, the neighborhoods that are often mentioned as the best ones in Queens are Astoria, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Jackson Heights, Sunnyside, Ridgewood, Flushing, etc. Astoria and Sunnyside could be considered the best ones in Queens. Sunnyside carries the title of the best neighborhood for living in Queens for many reasons. First, it’s very close to Midtown Manhattan so you can easily commute there. Also, it’s a very safe and affordable neighborhood which makes it an ideal place for families and young professionals.

Long Island has many good options for you

Long Island might be the perfect choice for you and your moving destination with Long Island movers. It was voted as one of the best places to live in the US which means in NYC as well. There are many reasons that make Long Island a good place for living such as year-round activities, top-notch entertainment, good weather, etc. Additionally, there are many good places for living on Long Island such as Massapequa, Plainview, Commack, Huntington, Smithtown, Valley Stream, Merrick, etc. Massapequa is a good choice for young families as the neighborhood is known for great elementary schools, top-rated high schools, and great education options overall. Plainview is a great choice for commuters as it’s located near the Long Island Expressway which has connections to all parts of NYC.

Manhattan is always a good choice

This list can’t be complete without Manhattan. Manhattan is the most famous borough in NYC and rightfully so. Many famous TV shows and movies highlighted all the great things that you can find in Manhattan. It’s not easy to choose just one good neighborhood in Manhattan as there are many great choices. It all depends on what you are looking for and your budget. The Financial District is a great option for young professionals and the neighborhood has many interesting shops, buildings, and most importantly, Broadway. SoHo is an ideal place for aspiring artists while Lower East Side is a perfect place for young people looking for fun. Upper West Side is more suited for young families. All of these neighborhoods are good for living that’s for sure. Now, it’s only important that you choose the best one that suits your needs and wants.

You can’t forget the Bronx

The last borough on this list but not less good is the Bronx. Bronx has over 1,4 million residents which makes it the fourth-highest population borough in NYC. The biggest advantage of living in the Bronx is affordability. It’s much more affordable to live in the Bronx than in Manhattan as the average rent cost is around $1700 while in Manhattan is around $3500. It also has great public transportation, so you won’t have a problem going anywhere in NYC. The Bronx is very culturally diverse as its population is made of 54.8% Hispanic, 31% African-American, 15% Caucasian, and other minorities. For this reason, you can enjoy different food from all corners of the world. The best neighborhoods in the Bronx are Baychester, Morris Park, Parkchester, and Riverdale. Additionally, there are not that many tourists in the Bronx, so the crowds are much smaller than in other parts of NYC.
