How to find which are the best buildings to live in NYC?
Discerning which the best buildings to live in NYC are is an easy task and a lot of the talk has already been done on so many different occasions. However, people are different in their taste and likings; therefore, deciding which are the best 5 buildings to live in NYC could be a controversial matter. In this post, I will give you my opinion based on my 7 years of experience working as a real estate agent in NYC. But before we get started, I should lay down the fundamentals of my criteria in order to better explain why I think the buildings on the list are the best buildings to live in NYC.
NYC is well known to be the home of many luxury buildings. Those buildings are not only attractive to the urban dwellers because of their glamorous design and modern architecture but also because they offer hotel like services. Those services simply translate into conveniences in which the spoiled New Yorker can indulge. The amenities in the building can be refreshing, stimulating, fitness

improving, time saving, jealousy-inducing, date-offering, and network building tools which the savvy New Yorker usually incorporates according to his daily routines. Of course everything in life carries its price tag, so let’s not make the mistake and assume that the luxury lifestyle offered at the Best buildings would be free of charge. So for those who would always be looking for something negative to complain about, here it is—the Top 10 High-rises are expensive to live in. In order to develop appreciation for the beautiful things in life, you have to be willing to pay the price, and also keep in mind that we live this life only once.
When it comes down to selecting the best buildings to live in NYC, a lot of people would think that the most important characteristic to consider first is the location. You have probably heard the old adage—“Location, location, location”. Well, my opinion in regard to that matter is that this type of stereotyping is due to a remnant from the time when NYC was not the safest place in the world. In fact some neighborhoods still carry the stigma of old times, so they get pushed back in degrees when compared against others and some buildings get badly rated due to that. I am inclined to still take the location under consideration but not as a main factor to influence my decision. Therefore what comes first on my list is quality retrieved based on a combination of design and amenities.
