1ST APPRAISAL SOURCE knows New York City 
Look no further for your next appraisal in New York City

New York City is the most populated city in the United States. New York City has a significant impact on global commerce, finance, media, culture, art, fashion, research, education, and entertainment. The city is often referred to as New York City or the City of New York, to distinguish it from the state of New York, of which it is a part. Over the last 15 years crime rates have dropped to historically low levels and offers a unique quality of life as a true "24 hour" city, making NYC extremely desirable.

We understand that location is a key element that must be considered by a good property appraiser. Due to Manhattan's geography, strong labor unions and often difficult site accessibility, construction costs have been extremely high. Virtually all of the new residential inventory is in the form of luxury rental and condominium buildings, whether newly constructed or converted from a prior non-residential use (office, wharehouse, etc.)

1st Appraisal Source recognizes the unique array of properties in NYC and provides superior quality appraisals with expertise in all property types in all market areas within Manhattan (residential as well as commercial).

 
New York City is composed of five boroughs, Each borough is coextensive with a respective county of New York State as shown below. Throughout the boroughs there are hundreds of distinct neighborhoods. 1st Appraisal Source has proven track record of providing quality appraisals.

  • Manhattan is the most densely populated borough and is home to Central Park and most of the city's skyscrapers. The borough is the financial center of the city and contains the headquarters of many major corporations, the United Nations, a number of important universities, and many cultural attractions. Manhattan is loosely divided into Lower, Midtown and Uptown regions.
  • The Bronx is New York City's northernmost borough, the location of Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees, and home to the largest cooperatively owned housing complex in the United States, Co-op City.
  • Brooklyn is the city's most populated borough and was an independent city until 1898. Brooklyn is known for its cultural, social and ethnic diversity, an independent art scene, distinct neighborhoods and a distinctive architectural heritage. It is also the only borough outside of Manhattan with a distinct downtown neighborhood
  • Queens is geographically the largest borough and the most ethnically diverse county in the United States and may overtake Brooklyn as the city's most populous borough due to its growth
