Where is New York City?

Home to over eight million people, making it the most populated US city, New York City is the beating heart of New York state. The city’s population is spread across five boroughs, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island. The latter three surround the New York Harbour, one of the largest of its kind in the world. This harbour is where the Hudson River and the North Atlantic Ocean meets.

Each of the boroughs has its own unique characteristics and feel about them, but it is often Manhattan which is dubbed the core and centre of New York City. It very densely populated, which is no surprise when famous spots such as Times Square, Central Park and the New York Stock Exchange are all packed into its 23 square mile landmass, as the smallest of the New York boroughs.

The city as a whole makes up the far southeastern section of the New York state, alongside Long Island, whilst the nearest major cities include Philadelphia (south) in Pennsylvania and Boston in Massachusetts. It would a few hours in the car to reach either of these cities, but fortunately, the city does have two nearby international airports; John F. Kennedy and Newark Liberty, both within 15 miles of New York city centre meaning anyone can travel domestically and overseas simply enough. We have corporate temporary housing and self-catering accommodation in New York City all over the area to ensure bookers can pick and choose where they want to situate themselves based on their travel plans.

Expats in New York City

The city's economic performance is hard to ignore, after all, contributing to a state economy that would rank as the tenth-largest economy globally if it were a country. Specifically, though, New York City shines brightly as the 'financial centre of the world', which makes sense considering the city is home to the world’s two largest stock exchanges; NYSE and NASDAQ. It is hard to look past the city's famous Wall Street as well.

Technology, real estate, healthcare, media and insurance are also highly supportive sectors of the city's economy. The way only seems to be up as well for the 'Big Apple', with projections suggesting NYC's GDP could rise to $2.5 trillion by 2035, meaning the city would be the richest on the globe.

However, in a city that has more billionaires than any other worldwide, what can an average visiting expat expect to profit from once they arrive? Those looking to find a new job will be encouraged that employment rates are impressively low. Potential business starters will appreciate the numerous tax incentives and support schemes which companies such as 'START-UP NY' offer.

It’s these support systems that have led people to believe that New York City is the 'top city to open a small business in America', within the 'most business-friendly state'. Businesses small and large have access to a market of over 65 million visitors which visit the city every year too. Ultimately, millions of expats visit the city each year for a reason, and we have a variety of business housing in New York City to suit any corporate travel plans.

New York City Life

Making the step to move, relocate or even just visit New York City is a big decision. Whilst it is good to know that living in the ‘Big Apple’ means you are living in a region that produces enough apples to offer you at least one to eat per day, there are many more important things to consider.

Another nickname suggests this; ‘the City that Never Sleeps’. NYC is always alive and lively and this can be welcomed or unwelcomed depending on the visitor's preference. The city is often compared to a jungle full of endless possibilities, which makes it like no other location in the world. That uniqueness does come at a pretty sizeable cost though, and you must budget accordingly beforehand to avoid being left disappointed too early into your trip.

Despite the small issue of money, around 300,000 people still move to the city on average each year. Expats are attracted to the idea that NYC is both a land of opportunity and a melting pot of celebrated diversity, culture and a mixture of different lifestyles. Yet, despite the very welcoming atmosphere of all ways of life in the city, NYC does have some iconic attractions which highlight its own history and heritage such as the famous Central Park. Despite not being one of the city largest, the city park is the most visited in the US, acting essentially as the lungs of New York. Blessed with beautiful views, scenery and nature, the park is well worth visiting for a walk.

You can’t talk about New York City though without mentioning famous attractions including the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge or the Empire State Building. The Statue of Liberty is a majestic sculpture located on Liberty Island on New York Habour and was actually a gift given by the French in the 1880s. Nevertheless, her representation of US independence and freedom is greatly adored by Americans and is rightly one of the world’s most recognised sites. Now, there’s so much more we could talk about regarding life in the ‘Big Apple’ city, but only by visiting and living in extended stay, self-contained accommodation in New York City can you really appreciate what this one-of-kind place is all about.
