Spanning over 54,000 square miles, New York State is only the 27th largest state by area. However, the state more than makes up for this by having the largest city by population – New York. In addition to New York City’s booming Wall Street and huge international appeal, New York State has a strong economy bolstered by industries across the region. ‘Tech Valley’, found in Albany, Saratoga County, Hudson Valley, and Rensselaer County, continues to show excellent growth in high-technology and computer hardware. Similarly, the state produces a high volume of agricultural goods – and is in fact the biggest producer of cabbage in the country! SilverDoor has a vast portfolio of corporate serviced apartments in New York, so if you’re planning to visit the ‘Empire State’ anytime soon, SilverDoor is your best choice for finding New York corporate housing to suit you.
While it’s easy to list the staggering number of attractions in New York city, the wider state has plenty of things to see and do. Including:
Niagara Falls – Niagara Falls is actually a city in New York State, but it’s best known for the incredible waterfalls at Niagara Gorge. At 167 feet high and consisting of three separate waterfalls, this stunning natural wonder if a must when staying in New York on business.
Lake Placid – Continuing the water theme, Lake Placid is an appropriately peaceful lake set in a village of the same name in Essex County. As well as being a beautiful natural escape, the lake is well known for winter sports and nearby restaurants.
The Statue of Liberty – It doesn’t get more iconic than this. Taking a ferry to Liberty Island and viewing the statue up close provides an unforgettable New York experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.
Wherever your New York serviced apartment may be, rest assured that the state has an extensive transport network to get you where you need to be.

New York corporate housing is plentiful and when staying with SilverDoor your trip couldn’t be easier. However, it’s best to familiarise yourself with New York State’s culture and lifestyle before arrival so that your trip goes off without a hitch.
Two New Yorks – New York is politically divided, with ‘upstate’ New York typically being home to conservatives and New York City and other southern areas typically leaning left. You’re more than likely, therefore, to find a mix of political opinions during your stay.
Towering taxes – If you’re thinking of relocating to New York, be aware that property taxes are notoriously high. While they are somewhat lower in New York City, upstate property taxes are much higher – so be prepared! Having said that, property prices outside NYC are much lower generally that you might expect.
Continental climate – New York State, broadly speaking, has a humid continental climate. While this can result in colder winters, south-eastern areas including NYC experience a warmer climate zone – meaning fewer freezing temperatures. Thunderstorms can also be common in the state with weather systems travelling across the area from Canada and the Great Lakes. Snow is common in winter, even in NYC, so be sure to take appropriate clothing.
While hotels are often the ‘go-to’ accommodation choice for business travel, more and more businesses are opting to use serviced apartments – with good reason.
