StreetEasy
Never Become a Former New Yorker
While life beyond the NYC boroughs may offer the promise of driveways, front yards, and white picket fences...StreetEasy warns against becoming a “Former New Yorker."
More than 100,000 New Yorkers leave the city each year, many in pursuit of buying their first home.
New York City is a place that doesn’t always make sense: it’s chaotic, loud, stressful, and competitive. But for New Yorkers, it’s the only place it makes sense to call home.
StreetEasy's “Never Become a Former New Yorker" is simultaneously a cautionary tale and a celebration of New Yorkers. Speaking to one of New Yorkers’ greatest fears: someday becoming a former New Yorker, it celebrates StreetEasy’s unique ability to help New Yorkers not just find but navigate the complex process of landing their forever home.
