Kayla smiling, her hair blowing in the wind, in NYC

Welcome to New York!

I’m Kayla Klinge. A non-native New Yorker who grew up in SoCal, went to college in Oregon, left the west coast for NYC in 2018, and never looked back. I love New York City. I also know what it’s like to be new here, a little lost, and trying to find your footing. I created My New York Lifestyle to help you get to know the city and to share the many gems I’m constantly uncovering. When I’m not busy enjoying the city, I help people find their dream apartments, condos, and co-ops as a licensed real estate broker in Manhattan. I am here for all your NYC questions. Feel free to contact me, and in the meantime, I hope this guide helps you explore all the city has to offer!
