Sure Horizon

New York City is not a place people consider as a retirement spot, most people see New York as a young, aggressive, and trendy city, where you either hurry up or get out of the way. Once you reach 60 years of age or older, you certainly don’t want to hang around hardcore brokers, impossibly expensive doctors and some of the rudest people in the world do you? Or, do you?

If life after working most of your life means more to you than just sitting on a beach chair and waiting for the blue plate special, then the best place to retire might just be New York City. Living in New York comes with an expectation of high culture, high convenience and of course, high costs. But, for a little bit of sacrifice on your part concerning location, then trade for more space and affordability without giving up your urban lifestyle.

Hudson Heights, located in the upper reaches of Manhattan and only a 30-minute subway ride to Times Square and 40 minutes for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is the best place to retire. You can hop on the subway and be at your favorite restaurant inside a luxury New York City hotel , or just traverse the lush gardens of Fort Tryon Park , which is at the north side of Hudson Heights and overlooks the river, or venture next door of the park to the ‘New Leaf Restaurant and Bar’, an upscale establishment perfect for friendly brunches or late night romantic dinners.

Even if you’re not rich, by Manhattan standards, this neighborhood is affordable and full of fun, safe things to do, and only moments away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of Manhattan. The average monthly rent is $1,500 or if you want to buy, condos run up $400,000; cheap for any New York City real-estate.
