Yeah, yeah, moving sucks. It’s not exactly news. If you want to experience another level of complicated, come to New York. After making the move to this, the most wonderfully frenetic city on earth, you’ll have a new appreciation of what a chore moving can be.
Step one: find a pad.
Locating a suitable apartment is not always so easy. The standard way to find an apartment has become Craigslist’s apartments section.
But you have to be careful. There are lots of scams and misrepresentations out there, so being an informed consumer is important. Check out listings for similar places in the same neighborhood, and get a feel for the price range. If you see a listing that’s significantly cheaper than the rest, it’s likely to be a scam.
Of course, this requires getting familiar with New York City’s rather varied neighborhoods. This is actually a lot of fun, though it takes some time. Check out the Department of City Planning’s site for good maps showing the different neighborhoods.
This Finding Dulcinea guide is also a useful resource, and should be referred to often.
