If you have to move during the pandemic, you might be interested in a New York City rental near a park—especially if you are going to be in the city this summer, where social distancing rules to prevent the spread of coronavirus are likely to still be in effect.
New York City's parks are some of the only places open in NYC right now. And because city pools will be closed—and city beaches may follow suit—parks are likely your best bet for public places in the city to enjoy the outdoors this summer.
Also these days you want to avoid public transportation as much as possible, and there’s nothing like walking 30 minutes, just to find out a park is too crowded. That’s why living within a few minutes of your favorite park is ideal in the coronavirus era.
