NYC Apartment Advice for Incoming Analyst
Hi guys I will be an investment banking analyst working on Madison Avenue. I’ll be very honest, ik nothing about nyc. I’m a first generation kid so my parents cant help me much and don’t really know people living in NYC. Doing research sounds like gibberish and just wanted to ask where yall would advice a first year analyst to live? I’m looking to be really close to work and don’t mind co-sharing spaces? $2500 - $3000 PM? I’m also happy to hearing anything. Just wanted general advice.
Same boat as you. Following
Are you looking at Madison Avenue too?
Office will be in the financial district, im a lateral. Dont know NYC at all so looking for a spot
Could find a spot really anywhere on the east side of Manhattan. Murray hill, kips bay and turtle bay should be walking distance to the office and have rent within your budget, especially if willing to have roomates and will be around young professionals.
If you don’t mind a quick train commute, could look at places in upper east side (bit sleepier / older vibe) or east village / lower east side (younger, more night life focused)
Thank you so much. Without sounding like a brat, I wouldn’t want to be in a sketchy area walking back during late nights. Are there specific regions within these places you mentioned that are safer?
Valid question – imo getting randomly mugged walking back from the office is extremely unlikely, although have heard of that happening to someone at my bank a few years back. Don’t think there’s too crazy of a difference in safety btwn the neighborhoods
Thank you so much man. This shit been so stressful. Will do some research on all these areas
I was a bit overwhelmed ahead of moving to the city as well. It’s really not as deep as you think it is, work is going to consume most of your time as a first year so as long as your commute is under ~30 min it’s fine. You’ll be able to get a sense of what neighborhoods you like during the weekends and figure out from there. You’re only signing a year lease, and whatever roommates you decide to live with (random or not) are also temporary
Congrats on Jefferies!
Close but not there 😭
I'd go East Village or LES. Take the 6 or B/D train up. Younger areas and a lot less finance bro-ish than Murray Hill, etc. Both will be a little bit grungy though, but good for night life. If you move to East Village I'd get a spot as far west as you can / not too far from the 6. I wouldn't go to Avenue A/B/C/D.
If you want to be able to walk to the office yeah Murray Hill etc. also work like the other guy said. If I was 22/23 and single tho I would want to be downtown in EV or LES.
