Hello everyone,<\/p>\n
Its month two here in NYC<\/strong> and I am really starting to feel at home here, especially since I finally found myself just that – a home.<\/p>\n The past month has had high focus on finding an apartment, which I will let you know was not the easiest of tasks. The NYC<\/strong> housing market is quite the jungle. Prices are high and so is demand. Nice or cheap apartments have up to a hundred of applicants and not being American also complicates things a bit. But with that said, I kind of enjoyed looking at apartments.<\/p>\n Keeping up to date with the listings on StreetEasy or the Listings Project soon became a hobby. I was fascinated to see how people live in NYC<\/strong>, what kind of apartments there are and just how the housing market works over here. It also made me think a lot about housing; the things I value in a home, what I can compromise on, and what is a necessity. I also started to understand the NYC<\/strong> style, and I was exited to visit brownstones, art deco buildings and newly built high rises. One could say I performed a study of housing typologies in NYC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Of course it was sad when I didn’t get the first, or second apartment I applied for, but in the end the search was fruitful in many ways but one. Not only did I find a place that I can call my home, but the search also informed my work more than I would have expected. I also got to explore more of the city and the neighborhoods through my search which was good fun.<\/p>\n And with that, and a picture of my sunset view I will leave you for this time. Good night to you all.<\/p>\n
