Hi All,
My husband and I are most likely moving to New York City in the near future. We are mid 20's, and will be both working in the financial district. Our budget is about 6M. Which neighborhoods should you suggest that are safe and not too boring for a young couple?
Thank you!
Julia

You can maybe, maybe get a place in East New York. Definitely not boring.

You are getting snarky answers because it is plain to us here that $6000 per month is enough for a couple to live in any Manhattan neighborhood they choose. So find a neighborhood you like, find a broker, and get an apartment. My only advice would be to save as much as you can. You may eventually want to buy instead of rent, and jobs on Wall Street aren't nearly as secure as they used to be.

Ummmmmm doesn't "M" stand for million?

If her budget is 6 million she can go anywhere.
Try UES
Oh and people live in the city making far less than 60K

6M wether million or a month will be good enough to rent/buy a 1br apt basically anywhere in Manhattan.

I personally like the west village and flatiron.

Anything south of 34 St will suit you- Chelsea, West Village, East Village, Flatiron, Tribeca, SoHo plus Upper West.

Can't wait till they turn 35 and realize how stupid their investment was lol
Well the one good thing about NYC homes, no matter how small, is that they always appreciate

Always another sucker around the corner so yeah if you got the cash blow it up. We need more rich people to spend instead of hoarding cash and giving handouts.

People are lame on this board- they laugh at everyone who shows some excitement but don't have enough money to live in Manhattan and tell them so; then someone with more money than they do shows up and here comes the sarcasm.

Let this f board be what makes it good - honest advice without presumption or assumption.

Kinda contradicts your claim about the investment being "stupid".
