Neighborhood 1: New hipster-ville

Quick—which NYC neighborhood is the absolute most hipster neighborhood in the whole city? Did you say Williamsburg? Sorry, wrong. Billyburg has already been gentrified to within an inch of its faux-divey life, while the artists and cool kids who made the place hip have all moved out to Bushwick. Likewise, in London, Shoreditch is still known for being skinny jeans central, but in reality, most of those folk have already been pushed out to Dalston. So who’s got it better, Bushwick or Dalston? Let’s dive in and find out by looking at three apartments in each neighborhood.

New York apartments vs. London apartments: What can you get for $2,000?

Finding a place to live in New York is, let’s be honest, a nightmare (even with the help of our weekly look at the best affordable NYC apartments). New Yorkers often wonder what their living situation would be like elsewhere, but where to look? Forget L.A.—we’ve already seen that in the New York apartments vs. Los Angeles apartments battle, NYC wins. No, this time we’re heading further afield, to the land of crisps, sarnies and pork scratchings, to see if London, England has it any better. Below, you’ll find 30 apartments—15 in NY, 15 in London—all for around $2,000 per month in five comparable neighborhoods. Who’s getting the better deal? Let battle commence!
