When the world thinks of America, it thinks of New York. The most famous city in the state is New York City, so nice they named it twice, as the saying goes. You will find any kind of living experience that you want from the big apple, as long as you're willing to pay for it. Urban lofts, delightful garden apartments in the countryside or penthouses in the sky. It's all available in New York.
