8New York City
New York is not just a city—it is a global phenomenon. Real estate prices in Manhattan, particularly in luxury neighborhoods, reach staggering levels. Dining, entertainment, childcare, and private education contribute significantly to the city’s high cost of living.
What makes New York worth the price for many is opportunity. As a global capital of finance, media, fashion, and culture, it offers unmatched career prospects and cultural richness. The city’s relentless energy and influence ensure demand remains permanently high.
