What do I need to know about living in New York?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to New York, they said:
"Don't do it! Its a horrible city, one big concrete jungle (exception in a city of c.8m people is Central Park which is grotty and dangerous). People are aggressive, although you get used to that. Overall, only reason to come here is to make money," wrote a member in New York.
"Before retiring in New York, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is higher than in many other cities. They should also research the different neighborhoods to find one that best suits their needs and budget. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local laws and regulations, as well as the healthcare system. It is also important to consider the availability of public transportation and other amenities. Finally, expats should make sure to obtain the necessary visas and permits before moving to New York," commented one expat who made the move to New York.
