I love it! ......
New York New York....
New York New York....
As the song goes
and it's true I do
That is why I am so excited to let you know
I am moving back!!
It's a huge undertaking with husband, 3 kids, 2 dogs and a cat
This is not like the last time I emigrated to New york 1n 1993
with $500 in my pocket and a one way ticket
One step at a time though we will get there
and I will take you along for the ride
So this post is all about NY apartments
New Yorkers are obsessed
with their apartments
Location
Size
Rent
Rent control
(where the landlord can only raise your rent a minimal amount each year...more on this later)
School catchment area
Are all HOT topics,
so I had a fountain of knowledge to dip into amoungst my host compatriots
on all things to do with apartment searching.
Think I have found somewhere but will keep you posted
Meanwhile here are a few I have seen
that whetted my appetite
I like this "Neo country" in Brooklyn.
A little to modern and sparse for me though.

I like this Greenwich Village apartment of Designer Rita Konig
a little too flowery though..
I'd take the dog and the apartment......... this one is in
Williamsburg though...... not for me
But This one in Cobble Hill would be just right
I like the location
Good schools
Period features
Quite spacious looking
LOVE the floors
Homey but not too frou frou
Modern but not minimalist
......... only 1 bedroom........there's always a snag
That and the fact that its not for rent!!!
Which one would you live in?
