I'm moving to NYC in February. I saw an earlier thread on this, but I have slightly different questions. I will be working with a law firm in Manhattan (Financial District). I want to rent before I buy. I have NO idea what areas are convenient commutes to the city (under an hour). In terms of price, I don't want to spend alot of money (no more than $1500). Any guidance would be appreciated!!! I'm interested in both NJ and NY areas. Thank you so much!
need more info kids in school ??? buying where you rent???
where in NJ??? NY has five boroughs the suburbs are nassau/ suffolk
or westchester. Do you want to keep a car???
Studio, 1bdrm? What kind of neighborhood do you like? Quiet? Loud? $1500/mo is going to exclude you pretty much from Manhattan, but you can easily find something within an hour of there. I'm thinking NJ or a decent part of Brooklyn for your downtown commute, offhand.
Hi! Thanks for the replies! I have no kids, it's just me. I have pretty much narrowed it down to Brooklyn. I feel pretty good about living there. Haven't been there yet..lol..but I've been doing some independent research on my own. I'm a 27 y/o female, so I really want to be around young professionals like myself. Now that I've narrowed it down, any suggestions on Brooklyn neighborhoods?? I have a car, and I have NO IDEA what I'm going to do with it. How's parking in BK? I'm in D.C. now and I would like an area that sort of feels like one of the safe D.C. neighborhoods! Home away from home I guess...Thanks in advance for the help.
