If you are new to a city, such as New York, then it would be ideal for you to locate an apartment that is within walking distance to your ideal form of transportation. Here are a few benefits:

 
  • Enhances Personal Opportunities – Public transportation provides mobility and freedom for people from different walks of life. It provides options when going to work, visiting friends, or heading to the doctor’s office for an appointment. Also, it provides access to job opportunities for millions of Americans.

     
  • Saves Money – According to APTA.com, the average household spends 16 cents of every dollar on transportation and 94% of this goes to buying, maintaining, and operating cars, which is the largest expenditure after housing. Households that are likely to use transportation on any given day save more than $9,700 every year!

     
Finding an apartment that suits you is only half the battle. The other half is making sure that you weigh out your options when it comes to living near transportation.
