Where Would Your Perfect New York Home Be?

Underrated and soon-to-be popular among NYC expats, this town is deep within the Catskill Mountains. It still retains its laid-back feel, but there's a lot to do there. There's charming and quirky shops on Main Street, there's a Mystery Spot, and there's outdoor activities like hiking and biking.

This is a nautical town in NY, home to both the Hudson River Maritime Museum and the Rondout Lighthouse. That means it's a gorgeous town, full of Instagrammable locations. Hip shops and restaurants make this place come alive.

It used to be all about Manhattan, and everyone made fun of Buffalo, but things have changed quite a bit. Buffalo has a neighborly feel to it, there's local pubs and top-tier restaurants, but more than that, traffic is way less intense than Manhattan. 20 miles away from Niagara Falls, it's got great skiing and a waterfront view.

Traffic is a chore, and everything's expensive, but hey, it's NY. And it's here that most of the store openings, restaurant debuts, movie and show filming, and even live shows are. This is the most exciting place in the entire state. Ideal for people who want to embrace city living to the fullest extent.
