It is good to learn about New York. The history is fascinating. I read up about Billionaires Row, Arista Records was here years ago. If I was wealthy, I'd like Forest Hill. I would like just to shop and try some new food. I can dream can't I ?
Excellent video. I lived on the Upper West Side for many years - and I live on the Upper East Side now. Yes, a lot of very rich people, but many of perfectly normal lifestyles too. But the access to museums, theaters, and cultural institutions cannot be beat. NYC has its issues of course, but it is the greatest city
I love the old English look neighborhood! I bet it’s absolutely beautiful in the month of December with professionals decorating their homes for the holiday. It would be a lovely tour to go through some of these pricey places! 💜💜
I love the Tudor Homes, they remind me of My Grandparent's home here in Connecticut. My Grandfather was a architect and contractor. He made all the built in features himself. He and all the sons were very talented, my father was the youngest.
wow, I am so lucky to have had the experience to live in Forest Hills in the 70s....it was a beautiful area now that I remember it....thanks for sharing the video
I 👼🏽lived in NYC🗽🗽/Queens for 11 years, loved 💞💞it, been gone about 11 yrs. want to move back permantely, I LOVE 💕NYC,🗽 the city that never sleeps. I 👼🏽plan on moving back and staying the duration👸🏽👵🏽💀 of my life. And maybe being cremated 💥💥and ashes spreading in Time Square🗽🗽, my favorite hang out.🙋🏾♀🤷🏾♂👰🏾🤵👶🏼🎈🍼🍭🍫
Hallo my dear brothers and sisters. I love ❤️ your country very much and l would be happy if I would visit your country. But I couldn't afford the visiting cost. If any kind hearted person will help me financially, then my dream will come true and I will be highly obliged to him/her. May God bless you and waiting for your reply....
All of NY has upscaled areas. Also areas that didn’t make the cut but are extremely nice like Aditya’s park and Manhattan beach in Brooklyn. Doesn’t feel like NY let alone Brooklyn. Also East Flatbush has huge million dollar homes. In a lot of those rich areas are some regular people left over from when they neighborhood changed. A lot of hold outs.
I traveled for work to New York for several years and was in Riverdale many, many times. It's a lovely community. I was always amazed how different the terrain was than most other parts on New York, with usually high hills that had amazing views. I also spent quite a bit of time on both the UES and UWS, which were to me, at the pinnacle of where I would want to live in NYC. I particularly enjoyed the ambiance of the Upper West Side, which seemed to be more "every-day" livable and a true neighborhood in terms of close proximity to shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
I want to build something fancy schmancy on 5th Avenue in the upper east side. It would be a boutique hotel with two or three penthouses. I think living in a penthouse which has luxurious amenities from a 5 star hotel ought to be something people would want to be apart of, but everything on the street already costs so much money. I would clad it with pink marble and have impressive facades and call it the Park Rose. Strict ordinances are imperative if you are going to have beauty represented by the architecture. New York is extrodinary, it really is a special place in the universe, but building for the future ought to harken back to the guilded age. Imagine New York and all of the facades are ornate. You accomplish it by enacting ordinances, and if you don't enact ordinances, people will always decide to build less impressively. If the city is growing, and the economy is growing, lets express ourselves and our time. People won't complain about things being beautiful. I love New York. I want to make investments in the outer burrows though, I'll live on the upper east side.
A lot of these posh areas were dumps 30-40 years ago. There is a night and day difference between then and now. Money 💴 can clean 🧼 up things very nicely.

Its a couple of places. I would have listed but you did fantastic. As a New Yorker of 13 years and I was born here too. I cherish all of the amazing neighborhoods, the parks, the buildings, and even the amazing 🏰 Castles. We have 4 beaches in NYC Riis, orchard, Jones, and Coney Island. So you get a lot to offer I realize the longer I live here why my city is so damn exciting, exotic, and expensive lol.
If money were no impediment, I'd love to live in Forest Hills Gardens in Queens. The houses look lovely and the neighborhood is tree-lined. According to the video, the houses are less expensive than in Gramercy or even Manhattan, so that's a bonus! I'm just dreaming here, of course. 😄
I grew up in Riverdale (although not the richest part), then we moved to the Upper East Side. After years in Yorkville on my own, now I’m on Sutton Place. Although it’s lovely and blissfully quiet, I have a longing to be in the Flatiron area, but I’ll have to stay where I am unless I suddenly have $3-5 million for a loft.
love Tribeca & Soho, they're more quiet, neighborhood vibe, lots of Art galleries', restaurants & right by the Water, great walking park on the river front
And here am I, someone who was lucky enough to purchase, during the co-op conversion madness of the 1980s, a small one-bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side, fairly close to Lincoln Center. Sold it for ten times what I bought it for in 2011. Took the proceeds and, for cash, bought a small apartment in Riverdale, steps from the Fieldston mansions. It's lovely here in North Riverdale--so leafy and scenic with great terrain. But I'd love to live in Manhattan again. But it can't be done, not when a freakin' studio apartment goes for $500K plus.
For those that dont know it, Riverdale is "west Bronx" with nice views of the Hudson and fast highways and trains to midtown. More parking, less sirens, the NY Botanical Gardens are very handy.
The upper west side I believe is the wealthiest. I live in manhattan and I love walking through the upper west side seeing these amazing massive mansions and how they fit in a circular driveway in such a small space.
As someone who lives in NYC. Some of these neighborhoods vary dramatically based on renting vs buying & amenities vs non amenities buildings in those neighborhoods Example: UES is one of the more affordable neighborhoods to rent in Manhattan if you are not in a doorman building. (Tons of properties in UES also do not have a doorman) Good video brother, stay blessed in the comments +
I lived on E. 83rd Street between Lexington and Park Avenue 2 blocks from the Museum of Art and I loved the neighborhood completely. No need for a car. I often dream of the place.
This was very informative. Several of the neighborhoods I was quite familiar with but others I had never even heard of! Although all of them would be a dream, I think I would choose Gramercy Park if I could have my pick.
I grew up in Brooklyn, and spent my career with Con Edison, so I know .. or knew .. NYC. But I never heard of Whitestone Queens being called "Malba" by anyone. I thought it was interesting when they talked about the "Brooklyn Waterfront", they never mentioned "Red Hook", which used to be a real tough commercial area you wouldn't have wanted to be in after dark.
Good production, a ton of work went into this. NYC is 8 million; however Greater NY is over 20 million and over 1/2 the affluence is in the burbs (a majority of those who died on 9/11 lived in Jersey). I can see the highrise across the Hudson from midtown where I live at 10.45, with views better than most within Manhattan; so good that at night they run tourist coaches over here. Our own parking, two pools, no sirens....
I used to live in Forest Hills on Dartmouth Street. Wasn't a good experience for a Black person. It shocked and bothered folks that I lived there. It didn't help that I was a very young professional. I remember being asked if I worked at the nursing home on Yellowstone Avenue. I had to be a nurse. That's the only thing the Asian lady at the corner deli could come up with to explain why I visited almost every Friday. It couldn't possibly be that I lived in the neighborhood. She would have my Kit Kat chocolate bar waiting knowing that's what I usually purchased. She would have the Kit Kat ready until the days she found out that I was a Forest Hills resident."You such a nice lady. You work at nursing home. You nurse." Her thinking was I only was in the neighborhood because of my job. I responded with "No. I live here." Oh my! Perhaps I should have played along, and said "Yes, I'm a nurse, and I work at the nursing home." When she found out that I was a resident, Kit Kat bars were no longer waiting for me at the counter and there were no more "Hellos" when I first walked in the store. No more small talk. Sorry to disappoint, but I worked in the Financial District on Wall Street to be exact. Not good enough. Oh, that Black thing. Some Russian Jews weren't too pleased either to have me as a neighbor. I was seldom home and when I was home, I was quieter than a church mouse. It didn't matter. Couldn't wait to move.
That's a shame! I don't know what black people ever did to society to be subjected to such appalling treatment. I would've stayed if I were you, though
Your experience was bad! I also had that experience when I lived in Maspeth, Queens. I felt like a fish out of water. I'm white, and so were the people who lived there. But somehow, they could feel that I was "different". Probably as in "educated".🙄. And they treated me accordingly. I tell you, that was the worst place I've ever lived, and I was SO glad to leave!!!!!!!
Great video, enjoyed it so much, good topic. I lived, briefly, in Borum Hill, part of the “Brooklyn Waterfront”, way back in the early 70’s when it was first being gentrified. It was interesting to say the least! I know NY reasonably well but your vid was very informative. I’d have to go with Gramercy Park as a hot pick, although living in a sleepy bayside community as I do now on the opposite side of the globe is preferable to the big smoke at this stage. Thanks!
You should include the Chelsea area. I grew up on 21st St. and seventh Avenue between seventh and eighth beautiful tree-lined street. I grew up there with my entire family on the grounds of to brownstones. My father’s entire family live within to brownstones unfortunately they did not purchase dumb. I wish they had but I would always go to Gramercy Park with my grandpa and he did. work. At a hospital no one at that time I never knew about it because I was a small child but it was Cumberland Hospital according to my dad and my father worked on 14th St. meat market and 10th and 11th Ave. near the Highland
I smile when I saw your comment. my dear. How many man are in your hand begging for your attention, because your beauty is so charming, and I believe no man can see you without telling you how beautiful you are, I believe your husband must be really lucky to have you in he's life, Dear. no man can resist your beauty. so tell me if you are the second woman GOD created after eve, how are you
I'm so fortunate that I made a wise and productive decisions about my finances that changes my life forever, I'm a single Mum living in Scotland, UK. I bought my second house in February and I'm really hoping to retire next year at 70 if things continue to go smoothly for me
I thought the Upper West Side & Greenwich Village would be on this list. If you make more videos I would love to know more about Westchester County and nice areas of New Jersey near NYC.
UWS should definitely be on this list, although it is a bit more affordable than the UES. Greenwich Village could easily be on this list as well, but I'd group it at the same level of the BK waterfront neighborhoods in price.
I went " Forest Hills Gardens" in the Queens, years ago, because of my job those times. I called this place little Netherland, because of the architecture of the houses, in the place with the church, which also reminded me of the historical fact that at the beginning the Dutch appeared here and for a short time this city was called New Amsterdam before the appearance of the British, the British, respectively, the city changed with name New York. Also, despite all these social and ohher problems in this city, wich also means that New York City is so expensive to live for most, ordinary people, after we lived 24 years in this city, New York will always be part of our life with its pros and cons, with its diverse characters, diverse beautiful architecture, cultures of different places of Manhattan, Brooklyn and other parts of New York. One of my favorite places of New York City are im Manhattan: " Gramercy Park" area, Upper West and East Sides, Greenwich Village and others, in Brooklyn: Greenpoint, Brooklyn Heights and others... Sincerely, Alex
Forest Hills Gardens is one of my favorite parts of town. One of the guys I was friends with in high school used to live there, and I'd go over to his house any chance I got.
@@schmancy2978 Thank you for your reply, also, I corrected some of my mechanical mistakes in my comment, which means "...and after all this city always will be part of our, my life, the same native, with its pros and cons..." and so on., as everything else written there in my comment, after I corrected my mechanical, random mistakes. Sincerely, Alex

I lived in Gramercy Park and the key to the park was free to residents, now, I think it's $400 a year for the key. Lovely neighborhood, love Pete's Tavern, and spent many evenings sitting outside enjoying people watching there. I've lived out of state for a number of years, would love to move back to Manhattan but since rent control is a thing of the past, and rents are ridiculous in the city, I'll have to be happy watching videos.
This was done a month ago and you did not mention the UWS (72nd to 96th St from CPW ro Riverside Drive?) Pay a visit to this spot, great brownstones and buildings and Riverside Park!!!
I've lived on the Upper East Side since 2004 and am definitely not rich. I'm a self-employed sales rep, make a "normal" living and love Manhattan. If the UES really is the most expensive, I'm proof an average person can live here. Most of us don't have cars and that's a HUGE savings. My mortgage is probably the same as those in the "middle class" suburbs but my home is much smaller. It's easy to learn to live small!
I worked in Riverdale all the time and I loved it there, despite the snobbery and racism! I've been from Marble Hill to the Yonkers boarder, and I worked on Fieldston Road. It was intimidating, but you felt like you were in another world up there!🙄
as a black man in Riverdale for over 10 years, i've never experienced racism. i guess if you're a professional victim and go into every situation looking for that to be the case you might occasionally find it.
@@ImStormX1You must be participating in genetic warfare, and not a descendant of American freed slaves. Being from Arizona I know for a fact that all of the ancestral groups of people that American Black males, Black Latin males, Caribbean Black males and African continental males obsess over never liked any of you. Mainly the Italians y'all won't stop obsessing over. They still call Black males rapists so try to move into a Little Italy and the Jewish sure as hell aren't letting any lineage of Black males flood into their neighborhoods and turn their community into a bunch of ugly half breeds. FOH you should be talking about why modern Black males aren't building anything, mainly those whose bloodline is connected U.S. emancipation. The fact that none of you control or own any significant infrastructure is evidence of racism. Same here in Portland. Where several of you would have rather been on drugs and having unprotected interracial sex all over the place instead of building homes, restaurants and hotels for your own damn people. Just say you're worthless, you DO see the racism and you're too weak to fight it.
@@ImStormX1Oh please. You never experienced racism but that doesn't mean the OP didn't. And the person said they loved it there despite the racism and snobbery...hardly being a professional victim Its like some people cannot comprehend that different people have different experienced. What a shocker! You anti-SJWs are just as annoying as the SJWs.
I live on the Brooklyn waterfront but in North Brooklyn (7:28 is actually Domino Park in Williamsburg North from downtown Brooklyn towards Greenpoint and Queens.) I absolutely love it here more than anywhere else I have lived in the city. Young families and cool things to do and few tourist 😅 I citibike everywhere just buy a helmet ❤
NYC has become exsteam with wealth. You have these areas and go one block away and you have gang territory or a mass amount of people living in the street. I really like Whitestone
I like Park Ave and 5th Ave address, with a doorman that actually opens the door by hand, not sitting at a desk with a button to open the door, and I want a large terrace overlooking the noisy street below! I want to inhale and live NYC❤!
I grew up on Park and 78th street. My mother used to call it the suburbs of Manhattan because she felt it was so boring. I grew up taking the 79th street crosstown alone to go to grade school. It was a rite of passage to get caught shoplifting in Bloomingdale’s as a teenager. Boy have I fallen . Our apartment cost 78k in the 50’s. It was a strange way to grow up in the city but Central Park 6:256:28 saved me. I’m 1975 I moved to San Francisco which is now a complete and unsafe dump. The upper east side was a great place to grow up although I always fantasized about being outside in nature. I now can’t stand cities. My mom also said…if you’re from NYC you want to get the hell out. If you’re not you want to get the hell in. Our old apartment now is estimated at 12 million and not included is the huge monthly fee. I hope everyone is enjoying their day and special hello to those of us who grew up in NYC. ❤❤
My Mom always said that we lived in Riverdale. But I finally looked at a map and it said Spuyten Dyvil which is just south of Riverdale. I guess it's easier to say Riverdale then Spuyten Dyvil which is Dutch for Spitting Devil. The area is known for the big C Rock where daredevils jump off into Spuyten Dyvil Creek. Anybody who's ever ridden on the Circle Line knows what I'm talking about.
Haha. The first image we show of Riverdale is actually in Spuyten Duyvil (Villa Charlotte Brontë). True it’s just easier to lump the two neighborhoods together than say Spuyten Duyvil. 😂
@PabbyMan2000 When I was a kid (1970s), my mom always said that she grew up in _"the Southern Bronx."_ It was only when the movie *_Fort Apache, the Bronx_* came out that I knew it was the South _(not a fancy schmancy sounding "Southern") Bronx. 😆

Glad you enjoyed it!

Gramercy Park and Brooklyn Heights are the neighborhoods I liked the best.
I love NY but my favorites are Gremarcy park, and Tribeca. if I could've afford, I would've live in any of those places.
It is good to learn about New York. The history is fascinating. I read up about Billionaires Row, Arista Records was here years ago. If I was wealthy, I'd like Forest Hill. I would like just to shop and try some new food. I can dream can't I ?
I like #3 Forrest Hills Gardens the best. It's gorgeous and seems so peaceful, and I especially ❤ the snowy look during winter.
Night walks after a full snowfall was really special
I'm a big Queens girl myself. Has always been my favorite borough!🤫
Plus Forest Park is huge, nice walks. Quite easy driving all around there.
I definitely enjoyed the mini tour!

Upper West Side - way richer than some on this list
not really. UWS is a mix of both its not really more than 40% "rich"
its just high rent
places like Brooklyn Heights are almost entirely wealthy
Upper West Side from 72nd to 86th. Old World charm! Many classic buildings such as Ansonia Hotel, The Dakoda building, The Sam Remo, The Beresford...
Yes, for sure!
Is thst where The Dakota is where John Lennon lived (and Yoko still lives)?

When she found out that I was a resident, Kit Kat bars were no longer waiting for me at the counter and there were no more "Hellos" when I first walked in the store. No more small talk. Sorry to disappoint, but I worked in the Financial District on Wall Street to be exact. Not good enough. Oh, that Black thing. Some Russian Jews weren't too pleased either to have me as a neighbor. I was seldom home and when I was home, I was quieter than a church mouse. It didn't matter. Couldn't wait to move.
That's a shame! I don't know what black people ever did to society to be subjected to such appalling treatment. I would've stayed if I were you, though
crazy but that's still a reality for us black folks, even in NY..
Your experience was bad! I also had that experience when I lived in Maspeth, Queens. I felt like a fish out of water. I'm white, and so were the people who lived there. But somehow, they could feel that I was "different". Probably as in "educated".🙄. And they treated me accordingly. I tell you, that was the worst place I've ever lived, and I was SO glad to leave!!!!!!!
Sorry for your experience 💛
@@BlessingsUponBlessings237 Thank you! I chuck it up to a life experience.
Todt Hill was where many of the big shot Mob lived.
OZONE PARK/QUEENS, JOHN GOTTI STOMPING GROUNDS, I LIVED THERE FOR AWHILE.🙋🏾♀👰🏾🤵👶🏼🎈
Big Paulie Costellano had his mansion on Todt Hill. Now, he lives in a closet in a place called hell@deanchapman1824
Wow, fascinating to know how the other half lives. New subbie here❤
Beekman Place. Limited area. Rich and famous and respected.
Yes, and Sutton Place/Sutton Square to the north.
On the rare occasion that I find myself in Midtown East, I love to take a walk through Beekman Place - it's such a charming enclave. 🥰
Very well done ....thx.......
Glad you liked it! Thank you too!
Thank you for sharing New York here.
Thank you for watching!
@@schmancy2978 You are welcome. Happy Memorial Day to you. And have a good summer.
Very fancy, schmancy
Thank you!
wow thanks for the great video.i am definately interested in anything more like this.
They are all beautiful but my favorite is the upper west side. The apt I stayed in while visiting was right across from Julliard.
Such beautiful cities are good to visit. Wow!
Yes I have NYC is my favourite city! My mom worked on 5th Ave overlooking central park! Love the place
Great video, enjoyed it so much, good topic. I lived, briefly, in Borum Hill, part of the “Brooklyn Waterfront”, way back in the early 70’s when it was first being gentrified. It was interesting to say the least! I know NY reasonably well but your vid was very informative. I’d have to go with Gramercy Park as a hot pick, although living in a sleepy bayside community as I do now on the opposite side of the globe is preferable to the big smoke at this stage. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed it!
That's so weird. I see studio apartments listed all the time in Forest Hills for relatively cheap.
Tiny studio for $1500/month.
I loved Forest Hills. It was my favorite area in Queens
You should include the Chelsea area. I grew up on 21st St. and seventh Avenue between seventh and eighth beautiful tree-lined street. I grew up there with my entire family on the grounds of to brownstones. My father’s entire family live within to brownstones unfortunately they did not purchase dumb. I wish they had but I would always go to Gramercy Park with my grandpa and he did. work. At a hospital no one at that time I never knew about it because I was a small child but it was Cumberland Hospital according to my dad and my father worked on 14th St. meat market and 10th and 11th Ave. near the Highland
Greenwich village and the upper westside are way wealthier than some of those neighborhoods in this list
I smile when I saw your comment. my dear. How many man are in your hand begging for your attention, because your beauty is so charming, and I believe no man can see you without telling you how beautiful you are, I believe your husband must be really lucky to have you in he's life, Dear. no man can resist your beauty. so tell me if you are the second woman GOD created after eve, how are you
@@ScottFernando-ry2ho bizarre
Interesting. Thanks for your video!
What a great city! Greetings from Poland
I'm so fortunate that I made a wise and productive decisions about my finances that changes my life forever, I'm a single Mum living in Scotland, UK. I bought my second house in February and I'm really hoping to retire next year at 70 if things continue to go smoothly for me
I thought the Upper West Side & Greenwich Village would be on this list. If you make more videos I would love to know more about Westchester County and nice areas of New Jersey near NYC.
Noted!
upper west was on the list, isn't Lincoln square apart of the UWS? :)
UWS should definitely be on this list, although it is a bit more affordable than the UES. Greenwich Village could easily be on this list as well, but I'd group it at the same level of the BK waterfront neighborhoods in price.
@@Nina-vs1ryyou’re correct. As we know, it’s the southern most neighborhood of the UWS.
@@snickersimsocute2438 Yes and the most expensive part of UWS right?
I went " Forest Hills Gardens" in the Queens, years ago, because of my job those times. I called this place little Netherland, because of the architecture of the houses, in the place with the church, which also reminded me of the historical fact that at the beginning the Dutch appeared here and for a short time this city was called New Amsterdam before the appearance of the British, the British, respectively, the city changed with name New York. Also, despite all these social and ohher problems in this city, wich also means that New York City is so expensive to live for most, ordinary people, after we lived 24 years in this city, New York will always be part of our life with its pros and cons, with its diverse characters, diverse beautiful architecture, cultures of different places of Manhattan, Brooklyn and other parts of New York. One of my favorite places of New York City are im Manhattan: " Gramercy Park" area, Upper West and East Sides, Greenwich Village and others, in Brooklyn: Greenpoint, Brooklyn Heights and others...
Sincerely, Alex
Forest Hills Gardens is one of my favorite parts of town. One of the guys I was friends with in high school used to live there, and I'd go over to his house any chance I got.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@schmancy2978 Thank you for your reply, also, I corrected some of my mechanical mistakes in my comment, which means "...and after all this city always will be part of our, my life, the same native, with its pros and cons..." and so on., as everything else written there in my comment, after I corrected my mechanical, random mistakes.
Sincerely, Alex
Why you call me Lionel Richie workout me the phone with your boo you're not worried. Now what the hunter watching and silicon I would share with your Brianna huarache xi'an growl Rollo xi'an chihuahua dog
I lived on the upper west side on 73 Street many years ago. It was a great neighborhood. I live in Brooklyn in Bay Ridge it's a great neighborhood.
Cool video
I lived in Gramercy Park and the key to the park was free to residents, now, I think it's $400 a year for the key. Lovely neighborhood, love Pete's Tavern, and spent many evenings sitting outside enjoying people watching there. I've lived out of state for a number of years, would love to move back to Manhattan but since rent control is a thing of the past, and rents are ridiculous in the city, I'll have to be happy watching videos.
Rent Control is a thing of the past ... but Rent Stabilized is still active.
What about Sutton Place?
Riverdale, SoHo, and UWS are also high net worth neighborhoods.
I like Riverdale. It’s like a neighborhood of mansions overlooking the Hudson ❤
I’ve only visited NYC but if I could live in any of these places, Gramercy Park looks nice.
This was done a month ago and you did not mention the UWS (72nd to 96th St from CPW ro Riverside Drive?) Pay a visit to this spot, great brownstones and buildings and Riverside Park!!!
That was very informative……..
Glad it was helpful!
I've lived on the Upper East Side since 2004 and am definitely not rich. I'm a self-employed sales rep, make a "normal" living and love Manhattan. If the UES really is the most expensive, I'm proof an average person can live here. Most of us don't have cars and that's a HUGE savings. My mortgage is probably the same as those in the "middle class" suburbs but my home is much smaller. It's easy to learn to live small!
I worked in Riverdale all the time and I loved it there, despite the snobbery and racism! I've been from Marble Hill to the Yonkers boarder, and I worked on Fieldston Road. It was intimidating, but you felt like you were in another world up there!🙄
as a black man in Riverdale for over 10 years, i've never experienced racism. i guess if you're a professional victim and go into every situation looking for that to be the case you might occasionally find it.
@@ImStormX1You must be participating in genetic warfare, and not a descendant of American freed slaves. Being from Arizona I know for a fact that all of the ancestral groups of people that American Black males, Black Latin males, Caribbean Black males and African continental males obsess over never liked any of you. Mainly the Italians y'all won't stop obsessing over. They still call Black males rapists so try to move into a Little Italy and the Jewish sure as hell aren't letting any lineage of Black males flood into their neighborhoods and turn their community into a bunch of ugly half breeds. FOH you should be talking about why modern Black males aren't building anything, mainly those whose bloodline is connected U.S. emancipation. The fact that none of you control or own any significant infrastructure is evidence of racism. Same here in Portland. Where several of you would have rather been on drugs and having unprotected interracial sex all over the place instead of building homes, restaurants and hotels for your own damn people. Just say you're worthless, you DO see the racism and you're too weak to fight it.
@@ImStormX1And keep thinking that your male presence is wanted in high numbers in rural areas like Pendleton. You'll get killed for sure.
@@ImStormX1Oh please. You never experienced racism but that doesn't mean the OP didn't. And the person said they loved it there despite the racism and snobbery...hardly being a professional victim
Its like some people cannot comprehend that different people have different experienced. What a shocker! You anti-SJWs are just as annoying as the SJWs.
@@ImStormX1 why would you call someone a professional victim? Why are you assuming she’s lying? Wow! The attack is uncalled for. Smdh
Any chance of doing similar videos for Boston, Chicago and/or Philadelphia?
I know several of these areas and if I had the money I would choose between Hudson Yards/ Upper East Side/ Central Park South or Gramercy Park. 💰💰💰💵💵💵
Wow! Cannot wait to visit New York again!
Give me the countryside, with nature, windy roads, rivers and mountain tops any day, compared to the city high rises.
I like #2, very nice
I used to work in Riverdale a lot. Loved it up there!♥️
I live on the Brooklyn waterfront but in North Brooklyn (7:28 is actually Domino Park in Williamsburg North from downtown Brooklyn towards Greenpoint and Queens.) I absolutely love it here more than anywhere else I have lived in the city. Young families and cool things to do and few tourist 😅 I citibike everywhere just buy a helmet ❤
Beautiful ,its got countryside like us ❤
very nice
Thanks
i lived in Hell's Kitchen, UES, LES, an Brooklyn. By far I LOVED LOVED living on the UES
Can you please do a walk /tour/talk on the neighborhood of Bronxville NY 10708. I never heard anyone talk about this area.
It’s not part of NYC.
NYC has become exsteam with wealth. You have these areas and go one block away and you have gang territory or a mass amount of people living in the street. I really like Whitestone
I like Park Ave and 5th Ave address, with a doorman that actually opens the door by hand, not sitting at a desk with a button to open the door, and I want a large terrace overlooking the noisy street below! I want to inhale and live NYC❤!
riverdale is heaven on earth .
Totally agree
I grew up on Park and 78th street. My mother used to call it the suburbs of Manhattan because she felt it was so boring. I grew up taking the 79th street crosstown alone to go to grade school. It was a rite of passage to get caught shoplifting in Bloomingdale’s as a teenager. Boy have I fallen . Our apartment cost 78k in the 50’s. It was a strange way to grow up in the city but Central Park 6:25 6:28 saved me. I’m 1975 I moved to San Francisco which is now a complete and unsafe dump.
The upper east side was a great place to grow up although I always fantasized about being outside in nature. I now can’t stand cities. My mom also said…if you’re from NYC you want to get the hell out. If you’re not you want to get the hell in. Our old apartment now is estimated at 12 million and not included is the huge monthly fee. I hope everyone is enjoying their day and special hello to those of us who grew up in NYC. ❤❤
love brooklyn heights... im a few blocks from malba LOL
Todt Hill is the highest point on the eastern seaboard south of Maine.
No it’s Highpoint in Atlantic Highlands NJ
Highest point on East Coast is the HighPoint condos in Atlantic Highlands in Nj
That's interesting. For a long time, the highest point was listed as Todt Hill and the second highest, Riverdale in the Bronx. Hmm. Live and learn.
@@samanthab1923 Atlantic Highlands is listed at 266'. Todt Hill is 401'.
@@deanchapman1824 I stand corrected. NJ has the highest Headlands.
My pick would be Gramercy Park.
I grew up in Malba, Queens.
The fieldston district if riverdale old money large estates, jamaica estates worthy of consideration
How about William Street ( Financial District )? I’m from Italy, but my ex lived here and he had a very beautiful home in a condo
I would never live in that congested place, where even the richest places have surrounding high rises towering over you.
We live in Riverdale and we just live it!!
My Mom always said that we lived in Riverdale. But I finally looked at a map and it said Spuyten Dyvil which is just south of Riverdale. I guess it's easier to say Riverdale then Spuyten Dyvil which is Dutch for Spitting Devil. The area is known for the big C Rock where daredevils jump off into Spuyten Dyvil Creek. Anybody who's ever ridden on the Circle Line knows what I'm talking about.
Haha. The first image we show of Riverdale is actually in Spuyten Duyvil (Villa Charlotte Brontë). True it’s just easier to lump the two neighborhoods together than say Spuyten Duyvil. 😂
@PabbyMan2000 When I was a kid (1970s), my mom always said that she grew up in _"the Southern Bronx."_ It was only when the movie *_Fort Apache, the Bronx_* came out that I knew it was the South _(not a fancy schmancy sounding "Southern") Bronx. 😆
