Why Renting In An Apartment Complex In NYC Is Often Desirable

A common emotion that many prospective NYC renters want to experience is the feeling of being included within the local residential community, especially for those looking for a good first apartment in NYC.  A common conclusion that many prospective renters come to is the idea of wanting to live in a large apartment complex community in NYC.  It is natural to think "hey, there are hundreds or even thousands of people already living here, there is no way that many people are making the same mistake.  Therefore, this must be a decent place to live.  I can play it safe for a couple of years and live here as well". 

What Constitutes As An Apartment Complex In NYC?

An apartment complex in NYC comprises multiple buildings, each with a different address but within proximity of each other and share the same consistency, meaning the buildings within the complex must; be similar in architecture giving that 'complex' vibe, share common areas, and amenities such as Pools, Gyms, Courtyards, Children's Playrooms, Rooftops. 

Apartment complexes in NYC do not always comprise a group of tall skyscraper buildings.  In fact, there are a handful of apartment complexes that comprise walk-up apartment buildings all clustered together and owned by the same property manager.
