Well most new apartment in in manhattan are small. There are alot of older apartments like in lower manhattan and the upper west side that are decent but they are really hard to find or they get bought up and split into two apartments. If you want to find large apartments, you have to go to the bronx, and queens to find the old WWII era apartments that are huge. Im talk living rooms that are 20 x 15.

There are 5 boroughs in New York City: Manhattan (aka "The City"); Bronx (aka "The Bronx"); Queens; Brooklyn; and Staten Island
If you are referring to Manhattan (the most famous borough and where most tourists visit) then the apartments are usually smaller, more "shoe box" like and more expensive than the other boroughs. That's why it's critical to have roomates to share the rent. Let's say a 1 bedroom apartment can cost you around $1,500+ depending where you want to live in Manhattan. However, if you want to save a little more, you can go live in another borough and take a subway train to Manhattan. I used to live in Queens and it was about a 10 minute ride to Manhattan.
If you or anybody reading this want to live in NYC someday, avoid living in Manhattan and go find apartments in the other boroughs. It's better if you find a roomate, one who isn't psycho, to share the rent. The more roomates you have the better.

The are apartments that occupied an entire city block, much larger than an average house in most suburbs, but each room cost a million. Which means if you want to move from a seven room apartment to a eight room apartment, it costs an additional million dollars. It really depends on how much you can afford.

It depends on where you live in NY... If you live in the city life is pretty fast paced, and the apartments are pretty small. But the further upstate you go it all seems to slow down as you get to the country and the apartments can be pretty big.

NYC is overrated. And yes, most apartments are very small, unless you have at least 5 million. That amount will ensure a decent sized apartment in the city.

I don't know...I live in Chicago and it's a lot of people here who live fast pace lives, but I'm sure there are big apartements and small apartments in all places...Don't base your opinion on a movie.

yes Apartments in NYC are pretty darn small...
space is limited in Manhattan so bigger places carry a premium
2000 sq ft apt will run you about 6 grand a month for rent
life in nyc is pretty fast paced... maybe not as fast as HK or Tokyo...

I plan on living in NY when I grow up. The night life, the girls, the clubs, they are the bomb. I cannot wait to grow 10 years older.
