Once known as the center of Bohemia, the East Village is a tight-knit community full of spirit and grit. It hosts a prolific culinary and bar scene and is prime for people watching. Artists like Diane Arbus and Andy Warhol were inspired by this treasured pocket of lower Manhattan and it's easy to see why. Seen the Broadway show "Rent"?

Greenpoint
Embracing Brooklyn's artistic side, Greenpoint is home to creative young professionals who provide this up-and-coming neighborhood with its edge. Although similar in feel to Williamsburg, Greenpoint is quieter, more industrial and rents tend to be lower, at least for now! Greenpoint is removed from the city, providing an escape from the congestion and the hustle and bustle, which has encouraged many young renters to rush to this neighborhood. Many lofts and apartments have rooftops that offer an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline, too. If you're looking for a laidback lifestyle and an intimate community without being too far removed from the city, Greenpoint is for you.
Long Island City
Youthful and energetic, this area of Queens is also one of the most scenic.

Approachable, culturally diverse and affordable, this hood is perfect for the younger crowd. Families will also enjoy living here, as there are plenty of playgrounds, museums, and theaters to explore on the weekends.
Astoria
One of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in Queens, Astoria has its fair share of nightlife, trendy bars, and restaurants that won't break the bank. Fan of Greek food? Astoria might be the hood for you, especially if you check out Taverna Kyclades, rumored to be some of the best Greek food in the city. This neighborhood can hold its own against Manhattan, too; on a weekend you can shop at an independently-owned bookstore, grab a bite to eat in a garden patio, catch a comedy show at Q.E.D. and soak up some rays in 59-acre Astoria Park.
The Bronx
The northernmost of New York's five boroughs, The Bronx is home to the New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx Zoo, and, of course, Yankee Stadium. A friendly and vibrant New York City borough, you can find spacious and affordable rental apartments here. Take a walk through 2,700+-acre Pelham Bay Park--the city's largest (yes, even bigger than Central Park!) – or head to Yankee Stadium and stop in at one of the many sports bars surrounding it.
Staten Island
Although it holds the title of the city's least populated borough, Staten Island's sunny small-town vibe is cherished by those looking to escape the madness of the big city. Ask a local why they moved here, and you're likely to hear “free ferry rides” or “half-price apartments”, but ask why they stay and you'll really get to the core of the culture. Staten Island offers fanciful old neighborhoods with wood-frame houses and turn-of-the-century charmers, quiet suburban enclaves and artistic hubs. With its semi-isolated location, tight-knit community, and 58-square-mile boundary shaped like a New York slice of pizza, this borough feels like a world of its own.
