If you are considering a move to New York City, there’s a lot to consider. We here at Rent Direct have designed our website to help people like you find apartments for rent in New York City without broker fees. Finding an NY rental apartment that suits your needs without breaking your bank is going to be one of the hardest things you have to do. Luckily, once you get here, your travel should be easier to manage.
If you are moving to New York, chances are, you have already decided to leave your car behind. New York is not built for easy driving. Traffic is stop and start, gas is higher than the national average and parking is pricier than you can likely imagine. Instead, moving to New York is a great chance to get acquainted with the city’s amazingly reliable subway system.
If you expect to be taking a train to work every day and around town socially, the best bet is an Unlimited Ride Metrocard. There are monthly cards that will offer you a ride every 18 minutes for 30 days for just $106. This may seem steep but the alternative is that if you ride the subway twice a day for 30 days you will be spending a whopping $150. So, when you actually sit and do the math, you’re scoring some real savings with an unlimited card – and avoiding all the fretting over how many times you should use your card in one day.
Travel smart when you arrive in NYC and live like the locals.
