Moving to NYC right after Christmas. Is the week between Christmas and NYE good for apt hunting or should I wait until January 2nd?

It’s always a bad time to be apartment hunting. Generally leases end at the end of the month and start at the beginning of the month. But if you’re looking to move after Christmas, you should probably be getting ready to sign a lease in the next month or two.

I signed a lease in May for the place we moved into August 1st.

Wait

There are more options in the summer. Less people move to the city in the winter time. On the other hand I was lucky enough to find my place around the middle of November so you may find a gem, but that’s not the norm.

A lot of people will be OOO/limited availability during that period

NYC is very last minute. I would say move in date minus 4 weeks.

Unless you are going through a large management company that knows a unit is going to be available 2 months ahead of time.

I am a 2nd year associate at a plaintiff’s firm specializing in toxic tort cases (individual).

I am considering staying at the firm but trying to get trial experience through side Pro Bono work. Thoughts?
