Hundreds of Neighborhoods for New York Roommates

New York roommates who opt to live in the city have literally hundreds of neighborhoods from which to choose. This is because New York is a city which consists of five boroughs and hundreds of neighborhoods. This complexity can make selecting a neighborhood in New York and overwhelming task. For this reason the Department of City Planning issued a revised wall map displaying these neighborhood boundaries in 2006.

An interactive version of this wall map is available on the New York City Department of Planning website. Visitors can select a neighborhood and view a detailed view of this area. This provides the user with more information about the location of the neighborhood. However, to gain and understanding of the overall atmosphere of the neighborhood it is important to visit the neighborhood and speak with residents.
