New York City is fondly called The Big Apple, and Brooklyn is certainly a peach. Living in Brooklyn sets one up for the time of their life. It is an exciting, convenient place to be for anyone and at any age regardless of nationality or culture. There is something for everyone in Brooklyn. Though there are countless reasons to move to Brooklyn, we worked very hard to compile a list of twelve great reasons. Here they are:
- Apartments are reasonably priced (well, in comparison to Manhattan, at least). People can afford to actually eat after paying their rent! Many old, quaint buildings have been renovated into affordable and attractive living spaces. Hire an apartment moving company or a full service moving company in Brooklyn to take care of the big stuff and get you settled quickly so you can enjoy your new space. Brooklyn movers are experienced in getting things done quickly and efficiently.
- The beautiful, well kept Brooklyn parks (we highly recommend you pay a visit to Prospect Park, one of our favorites) are close by and are great, are not too crowded and dog friendly. You can have a four legged best friend in Brooklyn. Life is fun and easy in Brooklyn especially with your dog by your side.
- You can be at the beach in a just matter of minutes. A short subway ride delivers you right to nature’s sandy shore. Don’t forget the suntan lotion!
- The views are magnificent. The Manhattan skyline across the East River is something unforgettable, romantic and modern at the same time.
- Brooklyn is an incredibly diverse area with neighborhoods to suit any culture, religion and personality. Immerse yourself in a new culture without ever leaving the country or even the city.
- The food! You can eat something different every evening for dinner and never get the same thing twice. Explore the many fine restaurants that serve authentic ethnic foods at reasonable prices. Brooklyn has great tastes for every discerning palate.
- Shopping! Brooklyn has some of the best shopping districts in the world. Once old dilapidated warehouses are now chic shopping paradises.
- You do not have to drive a vehicle or have the upkeep expense of a car. Brooklyn transportation systems are routed to be accessible and safe. Many areas are very “walkable” also particularly in the neighborhoods where shops, stores and boutiques are congregated.
- Brooklyn has great art galleries, a children’s museum that is without a doubt one of the finest and a great zoo in addition to other fine attractions.
- Music! Brooklyn is home to many indie bands and a music lover can discover them playing in local java houses, jazz huts and other places in Brooklyn on any given night.
- To say you once lived in Brooklyn. It is a conversation starter. People will know you are adventurous and full of life because that is exactly what Brooklyn inspires.
- The number one (actually 12) reason to move to Brooklyn is simply because you can! Why not? If you love city life but don’t actually want to live in ultra-fast paced Manhattan, then Brooklyn is as good as it gets!
