If you would like to live in Manhattan - the most famous part of New York City, where most of the tourist attractions are located - do some mathematical calculations first. Calculate your after-tax income. Expect to pay approximately 35 percent of your net salary toward housing. In Manhattan, the rental cost of a two-bedroom apartment will range from US$1,200 to US$7,000 a month. The apartments at the low end of the scale are located in the more dangerous parts of town. The most expensive apartments are the luxury apartments, located in the most exclusive parts of Manhattan. (In a two-bedroom apartment, be prepared to live with three people, in order to share the cost of rent.) Big Apple residents also must pay many different expenses. Residents shell out over 8 percent sales tax on most items they buy. Getting around town can be expensive, too. Most New Yorkers will buy a MetroCard for unlimited subway and bus use; this card costs US$63.00 a month.
