Riverdale in New York City- offers affordable living with 1 and 2 bedroom apartments costing approximately $200-300K, and all within walking distance to the Hudson River and Wave Hill Park (pictured above). Housing in this region of New York City is typically made up of multi-story apartments and architecturally designed homes built in the 20th century. The population consists of approximately 47,000 people and the area is classified as a middle to upper classed neighborhood. Today this region is becoming a popular gay community with many couples electing to buy old Victorian mansions and renovating them to their former glory.

Riverdale, NYC and St. George, Staten Island are considered as the latest and greatest in gay community living, where residents live in a culturally diverse location and enjoy beautiful parks and scenery, in a relatively safe environment.
St. George, Staten Island- is situated on the northeastern tip of the island and is one of the most developed areas of New York City because of its close proximity to the ferry. However, the region declined in popularity in the 1960s when the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (pictured left), moved the commercial hub of Staten Island to the inner precinct of the island.
