And what was your experience of it?
I love New York and would really love to live there one day.

What's your opinion on living there? What's the school system like for primary school? Is it expensive, living, lifestyle etc. Is it really that hard to find an apartment?

And which areas of New York did you like best and why?

Well - do I qualify?

I have lived in Brooklyn - my home borough ... and now live on Staten Island. Quite different.

Depends on the type of neighborhood you want.

Staten Island is closer to the suburbs than city in places ... such as where I live.

The NYC school system is among the finest in the world. It is the largest in the US.

Cost depends on where you live in the city - and which boro. (Manhattan/Bronx/Brooklyn/Queens/Staten Island)

Finding an apartment in Manhattan can be a task - but in the outer boros, not nearly as challenging or expensive.
