New York Habitat was established in 1989 under the auspices of Founder and President Marie-Reine Jézéquel. Its French subsidiary company was opened with an office in Paris in 1996 and further developed with the South of France in 2001 and a new subsidiary company in London, U.K., in 2002.The idea for the company came after recognizing the lack of options available to travelers who desired more personal accommodations than those provided in hotels. This is how New York Habitat designed a way to give travelers the feeling of what it is like to live independently in New York, Paris, the South of France or London, by arranging stays in quality furnished apartments.New York Habitat is a full service real estate agency licensed in the United States by the State of New York. New York Habitat is not a property management company, nor is it merely an online platform for furnished apartment listings. Rather, we believe in providing a unique and personalized approach to finding an apartment.
