relocating to NYC: yeah or ney?


First of all, thanks to everyone who responded to my post earlier today about moving from CA. Great answers, and I really appreciate the info.

Now, this is for the folks out there who have pulled this off. Please only answer if you’ve done a relocation (preferably major, from one state to another, e.g.), or know someone who did:
- where did you move from?
- how much time did it take for you to adjust?
- are you glad you did it?
- if you rented before buying (or are still renting), how did you find your apt?
- what would you do differently, if there was a next time?
- any other comments/tips on relocating to NYC?

Thanks, everyone!

moving to NYC (or thereabouts)


My husband and I are considering a move to NYC (stop laughing, please.) We currently live in CA, so we’re used to ridiculously priced real estate. We live in a loft and ideally would like to find another loft space, but are open. I’d love to hear from people regarding the best neighborhoods close to Manhattan, as well as current trends in the NYC real estate market. Also interested in temporary housing tips/ideas. We’re thinking we’d secure a rental in the area, and then check out various neighborhoods until we find something to buy. Any other ideas on the best way to do it? Anyone else here done this? Thanks.
