Which is the best time of the year to move to NYC?
I was wondering if there are any better times of the year than others to move to NYC, especially when it comes to apartment availabilty (winter perhaps?)
Thanks!

yes, I would say winter is the slower season, with less people renewing their lease and looking for apartments.
summer is absolutely the worst, as new college kids move in as well as college graduates move out!

Would it be a huge mistake to move during February? Blizzards, etc.? Or, should one wait til March or so?

I'm not an expert on this, and NYC may always be the exception, but I've always read that moving in the winter is the best time since most people look and move in the summer. So basically if there's availability in the winter, chances are it will still be there when you look to move.

Not September/October!
That is when we moved and it was the busiest time. Had to jump on anything good because when we waited we lost out.

*bump*
I'm planning to make a move into the city, and would like to hear more opinions about moving into NYC during the winter time. I imagine that as students and others leave the city during the summer, there would be more choice of apartments...whereas during the winter, there would be fewer people leaving, yet landlords would be a little more pressed to find someone to take on the apt during the holiday season. Am I correct in my assumptions?
And by winter, do they mean November/December? Or January/February?
