City - New York

New York City has it all, from iconic landmarks to industry powerhouses to every type of cuisine you can imagine. Here, staples of the American image are everywhere: the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Broadway, Central Park, an unparalleled skyline, and dynamic neighborhoods teeming with diverse cultures and activities.

Those living in New York City tend to earn higher salaries, in addition to having a walkable lifestyle with quick access to the subway (and less of the fees and maintenance associated with car ownership). There are other ways to curb living expenses, such as looking in more affordable neighborhoods or renting with a roommate.

Location and Convenience

Continental Towers is a great luxury building. The staff is friendly and helpful and provide such a welcoming environment when you walk in or out. Location is ideal with access to public transportation (across the street from both the M15 (2nd Ave) and 79th Street Crosstown buses, and a short walk from the 6 train (@ 77th and Lexington) or slightly further from the 4 and 5 (@ 86th and Lexington). Building amenities included are a great convenience! There are tons of great places to eat and shop, but my favorite part is being above the 24-hour Duane Reade! Overall, this building is safe, clean and beautiful place to call home!
