The most populated U.S. city is one of a kind
The self-proclaimed Greatest City in the World has it all — from iconic, historical landmarks to industry powerhouses to every kind of cuisine imaginable. New York City thus feels familiar to so many newcomers. It's the place where you'll find staples of the American image — the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Broadway, Central Park, an unparalleled skyline, and dynamic neighborhoods teeming with diverse cultures and activities.
Employment opportunities are seemingly endless, with more corporations headquartered in New York City than any other city in the United States. No one industry dominates, but finance, art, technology, fashion, media, and entertainment all contribute to New York's distinctive energy and booming economy.
The city's appeal is even historically rooted. People have flocked to New York City for hundreds of years with the hope of a better life. Millions of immigrants have shuffled through Ellis Island, and New York City's vast diversity remains one of its hallmarks to this day. Learning about various cultures, meeting all kinds of people, and trying a broad range of cuisine are essential parts of living in New York City.
With such a wide appeal, it's easy to see why anyone would want to move here. Living in NYC presents renters with the option of choosing between apartments, condos, and townhomes in the metropolis' five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Although the city is notorious for higher rent prices, renters typically enjoy higher salaries, in addition to a walkable lifestyle with quick access to the subway (and less of the fees and maintenance associated with car ownership).

History
New York was settled in 1624 and was named for the Duke of York. But it was in 1604 that Henry Hudson first explored the area as he searched for the Northwest Passage to the Orient. After exploring the coast for nearly two weeks, Hudson claimed the area for the Dutch East India Company.

Parks
The best-known park in NYC is (of course) Central Park. The park was built in 1857 and covers 843 acres. It is a National Historic Landmark and was designed by famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The park is filled with walking paths, pedestrian bridges, and benches. It features horseback-riding trails, ice-skating rinks, a conservatory, and the Central Park Zoo. Its outdoor amphitheater, the Delacorte Theater, hosts the summertime "Shakespeare in the Park" festival. The park also provides playgrounds, ball fields, the famous Belvedere Castle, and the legendary Tavern on the Green.

Cost
Of course, Manhattan rentals are pricey! You can expect to pay roughly $3,000 a month for a studio apartment. Part of that is because of demand -- NYC is the most densely-populated cities in the country with about 28,000 residents per square mile. In fact, there are close to nine million residents in the city. Luckily, the economy is one of the best in the world, and many fortune 500 companies are located in the city. The oldest building in New York is located on Gardiners Island. The Carpenter's Shed was built in 1639 and is the only still-intact building that was granted by the Royal Crown.

Transportation
New York City is pedestrian-friendly and bicycle-friendly. The subway system provides fast, easy access throughout the entire city and is the most popular way to get around.

The city also offers buses, and the yellow taxis are easy to hail, not to mention iconic. Other notable buildings include the Alice Austen House in Staten Island, built in 1690; the Fraunces Tavern in Lower Manhattan, built in 1719; and St. Paul's Chapel in Manhattan, built in 1764 and one of the oldest surviving churches in the state.
