Rudy Andriani M.D., on the Best Neighborhoods to Live in NYC

New York City is home to more than 8 million people across the 5 boroughs. Families, college students, single’s and young couples from all over the country (and world) have made their way to The Big Apple to find culture, new experiences, and some of the most popular areas on the East Coast. If you’re considering a move to NYC, here are 5 of the city’s best neighborhoods to live in:

Tribeca (TriBeCa)
Part of the Manhattan Borough with a population over 17,000, Tribeca is known for its upscale residencies and historic industrial architecture. Similar to neighborhoods like SoHo and Dumbo, Tribeca is actually an acronym that stands for “triangle below Canal Street. What was once a booming industrial area, now is a home to families, couples, and celebrities. Over time, industrial buildings have been transformed into modern lofts and living spaces that offer residents stunning city views and the ultimate luxurious living experience.

Nolita
As its name suggests, Nolita is located just “north of Little Italy” in the NYC borough of Manhattan. For a considerable amount of time, Nolita was fully regarded as part of Little Italy; however, as years went on and rent charges increased, the culture of Nolita began to shift. Today, Nolita is its own charming section of NYC; its trendy culture has made a home for many independent shops, boutiques, and a popular bar-restaurant scene.

Battery Park City
Located along the Hudson River in Lower Manhattan, Battery Park City is an upscale, family driven area, that was originally built with the plan to create a landfill during construction of the World Trade Center. By the 1980’s Battery Park City’s first residencies were under construction and the neighborhood was quickly being developed. Today, Battery Park City is home to many upper-class families that pay prime costs for their luxurious locations.

Murray Hill
A popular home for postgraduates, mostly former NYU students and young professionals, Murray Hills has a thriving reputation for nightlife, bar restaurants, and independently owned shops that support small businesses. Young 20-somethings flock to the Murray Hill area for (lower) rent costs and exciting social and nightlife opportunities.

Dumbo
Another “acronym” neighborhood, Dumbo stands for “down under the Manhattan Bridge overpass”. The area is located between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge and has a reputation for prime commuting location (easy access to both major bridges), as well as being Brooklyn’s most expensive neighborhoods. It’s many industrial buildings have been transformed into luxurious lofts and living spaces, while also fostering an incredible tech startup culture. Additionally, residents and visitors of Dumbo can experience trendy art galleries, shops, and restaurants.
