"Only the Best"

Ive lived in New York for a total of 8 years. 4 Years at NYU, two years in Brooklyn Heights, and 2 years and counting in Gramercy. Gramercy has a private park, you need to be a resident OR stay at the Gramercy Park Hotel to get in. This reminds me of my hometown, Lockport IL, except theres a lot more people than 24,000. The people here are friendly, and if you love nightlife, the East Village is very close.
Pros
  • Safe and Sound
  • close to East Village for nightlife
  • Beautiful
  • Tons of history
  • Garmercy Park
  • excellent restaurants
Cons
  • expensive

"My Hometown"

Lockport. This brings back lots of memories. The hidden gem of Northern Illinois. Small city, under 25,000 people, but has great parks, like the new Lincoln Landing. Its Downtown area is nice, very historic. In Downtown Lockport youll usually find 600/month 1br apartments, with no credit checks. The wine and dining scene here is great, it also has some pretty well known stores like Walmart and Target. The grocery shopping? Farrell Road is the best place. Lockport has a Walmart, Jewel Osco, and the new Berkot's. It has a Sonic-Drive In also. The schools here sre amazing. I went in 33-C, and it was a.very wealthy school. It's also VERY close to Chicago. Enjoy it. I know you will.
Pros
  • Safe
  • Everything ;)
Cons
  • Gets deserted at night

"The Part Of New York that will always be an Individual."

Harlem. One of the hippest areas in New York. Music floats the streets as you shop and dine and enjoy all the nightlife. In 2005 Harlem had about 75 murders. In 2010 the murder rate dropped all the way to 39. Which means in 2012 it should be about 30 murders, and since were 3/4 into the year, there are still about 7 murders to be commited. Safe during the day, fairly sketchy at night. But, this neighborhood is a must see for nightlife, not to mention the apartment rates. 900$-1500$ for a one bedroom? Amazing!
Pros
  • affordable rents
  • excellent restaurants
  • rich cultural traditions
  • close to major transport
Cons
  • crime rates
  • Dirty
  • far from downtown
