NYC Boroughs

While people often associate NYC with the spectacular skyline and fast-paced street life of Manhattan, the City is comprised of five distinctive boroughs - the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.

The Five Boroughs differ dramatically from one another in terms of population, density, and topography. Each has its own dynamic local history; top-notch universities; entertainment & festivals; and exciting, large-scale development projects in its future.

In recent years, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island have seen significant public and private investment in neighborhood revitalization efforts. Easily accessible by public transit, these areas are experiencing robust population growth and have come to house some of the City's most popular new neighborhoods, particularly among the academic community.
