Depending on your surroundings, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is easier in some neighborhoods than others. People want to live in a neighborhood that caters to their specific lifestyle. They want to move to a neighborhood with amenities to help achieve their health-focused goals. The downside of living in a healthier neighborhood in NYC means that the overall cost of living is more expensive.
Top 10 Healthiest Neighborhoods
According to Street Easy, New York is one of the most walkable cities in the world and most neighborhoods encourage a healthy lifestyle with bike rentals all over town. However, the outer boroughs are always a better option when it comes to biking and working out because of space. To determine the healthiest places to live in New York City, the number and availability of bike rooms and bike lanes; gyms, pools and other fitness facilities; medical offices and health centers; and parks, community gardens and athletic fields were all factored in.
The top four neighborhoods on the list are located in Brooklyn or Queens. Across both boroughs, New Yorkers can find plenty park space, bike lanes, and healthy food and living options. The Bronx is the unhealthiest borough of NYC because of its diverse selection of comfort food and limited space, parks and facilities.
We recommend moving to one of these 10 neighborhoods in NYC if you are trying to support a healthy lifestyle with plenty of amenities nearby.
1. Red Hook, Brooklyn — Most feet of bike lanes per capita
2. Long Island City, Queens — Highest rate of healthy takeout requests
3. Oakland Gardens, Queens — Amount of park space per person (670 square feet)
4. Dumbo, Brooklyn — Plentiful gyms and bike storage in residential buildings
5. Flatiron, Manhattan — The most fitness studios and gyms per capita
6. Midtown, Manhattan — Many health and wellness centers, gyms and fitness studios
7. Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn — The most residential buildings with bike rooms
8. Riverdale, Bronx — Many residential buildings catering to healthy lifestyles
