Living in New York is Expensive

New York constantly finds itself near the top of the list of the most expensive cities. That’s not to say that there aren’t pockets of affordable housing, or neighborhoods, where the monthly rent won’t break the bank.

What Neighborhood Should You Live In?

There are five 5 boroughs in New York and Shleppers services four of them – Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Take a look at our blog to see what each borough has to offer. Within the four boroughs are hundreds of neighborhoods. Each with their own quirks and ways of life. Before you start your moving process, you’ll want to start researching on which neighborhood is right for you.

Be Prepared to Walk…A lot! 

Invest in several pairs of good walking shoes. For real! Unless you’re lucky enough to be close to a subway stop on both ends of your commute, you will be using them.  For most New Yorkers, walking a couple of miles or more is part of their daily routine.
