Yeah zip car is really useful, I have moved several times around new york, I even made some good friends with people from the moving companies that I keep using. I never thought to use google reader before when apartment hunting, thats a pretty good idea.

Thanks for the tips! I've been considering moving to NY for a while now but I must admit it all seemed like too much for me. Now that I read your tips I think I'm ready to make my move. What is the best place to fin New York NY apartments for rent? The Wired NY forum had a very good list of ideas and places to look up, but I'm looking for a cheap and reliable real estate company.

Honestly it is full of bait and switch ads and brokers posing as landlords. I was burned big time! For the best place to find your next apartment that has the largest NO broker fee apartment listings in the NY Metro area. Just click on the link below. Good luck!

Get a great mover, someone who is licensed in New York City and knows the building’s regulations and the best routes…

used a local company instead of a NYC company and paid the price

found a good NYC mover here: http://www.cityhammer.com/catalog/companyList/?category_id=15

My boyfriend and I just moved to NYC from Wisconsin. We came out in August and found an apartment in a week. It was not easy but we left NYC with keys in hand to go back to Wisconsin and pack. Check out our website/blog about the move http://www.nyc-or-bust.com

Oh shit. More than a month, really?

I’m not terribly picky about a place. Honestly, as long as there’s plenty of hot water and good water pressure, I’ll be happy. I guess my budget for an apartment is anything under 1,300/month. That would suck to live out of a hotel for longer than a week…

Oh man, >1 month at the least. Unless, of course, you don’t care what kind of place you move into or if price isn’t a factor. If you have a budget you have to stick to and specific things you’d like to have in an apartment, it can get hairy.
