Introduction: A High-End Apartments For Singles
That pinch you’re feeling when it comes to housing may be real. The average price of an apartment in New York City has surpassed its last peak, 2008, before the recession hit and the housing market collapsed. And that new high, about $1.7 million in Manhattan, may cause potential buyers to draw in a sharp and painful breath.
Even median prices, which better reflect what’s going on outside the luxury market in buildings that aren’t snazzy Midtown spires, may prompt shock.
According to the Corcoran Group, the real estate brokerage, the median price of all apartments in Manhattan is now $916,000. The median price of a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan is $710,000.
But median doesn’t have to mean mundane. Surprising results can be achieved if, say, $750,000 is deployed creatively in the resale marketplace, whether in Manhattan or the outer boroughs. After all, many prospective buyers prefer to stay in New York City rather than decamp to the suburbs.
The Condo: The Heart of the Highlander
Learning the nuances
Whether you’re looking for an upscale studio or just perusing cheap apartments in New York City, the basics of rental applications are the same. You will need at least enough money to cover the security deposit and one month’s rent. You will need proof of income that shows an annual salary of up to 40 times more than one month’s rent. And it wouldn’t hurt to bring along a collection of references from employers, former landlords and roommates.
Adjusting your priorities
Location, budget, safety, and housing quality are the main factors here, and apartment hunting in NYC will seriously test these priorities.
Feeling crowds
When you’re renting in New York City, you will have to get used to the crowds. The crowds on the streets, in the elevators, in the grocery stores, on the subway, and even in your own apartment building. The best way to deal with this is to plan the occasional escape. Drive out to Long Island to go surfing in the Rockaways or Hamptons, take the ferry out to Staten Island, or get completely lost in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.
Being cash-strapped
At one point or another, every New Yorker will experience the feeling of being strapped for cash. When this happens, don’t panic. While it may seem impossible to leave your apartment with less than $30 in your pocket and survive, the fact is that this city is full of millions of people facing the same dilemma. Just skip the $20 Manhattan lunch and grab a hotdog from any classic NYC street vendor or dollars “slice” at any of the pizza places that claim to be the best or original. Or, head to Chinatown where you can score five dumplings for less than $2. Need a cheap date night? In the summer, you can see free concerts and events at Central Park and Prospect Park.
Living in a World of One
Many of us have always shared a home with someone else. We grew up with our parents and siblings, moved in with friends during college, and then created a household with our spouse or partner.
Later in life, our living arrangement changes. Nearly 40% of older women (8.1 million) live alone—more than twice the number of older men in the same living situation, according to the Administration on Aging. Much of the reason for women's solo habitation is our longevity.
Common Challenges and Solutions
I now pronounce you– single! You may live your life, and enjoy your happily ever after!
Being single is a lifestyle choice, just like choosing to marry or couple up. Choosing to be single is just as big of a decision, and is often viewed as an ‘unfortunate circumstance, rather than an opportunity for full autonomy and freedom.
Being bound to another person, whether legally or in a committed relationship, can limit one’s opportunity for self-growth and exploration. Until you embrace singlehood, you may never know what you are missing.

Having run the full gamut of relationship statuses in my life, I can honestly say, singlehood is my favourite. I’ve been married, divorced, in long-distance relationships, cohabiting, casual relationships, open relationships — the whole works. Not one allowed me the freedom and level of happiness I’ve experienced as a single woman. I don’t choose to be single to avoid commitment to someone else, but rather to enjoy the freedom that is commonly missing in traditional relationship scenarios.
