Do you mean 17th St in Manhattan? East or West (yes, it does make a difference)? What is your budget? Do you want to rent or buy?

It is East 17th Street, New York, New York 10003

I think it is in Flatiron District?

We need to rent first and later buy.

We are not looking exactly a place close to this place. Some where around.

East 17th is more Gramercy than Flatiron.

800/month won't even get you a studio apartment.

Check the sticky at the top of the board entitled, "Need info on moving to NYC."

Do you have job(s) lined up yet? If so, what will your take-home pay be? That will help determine how much you'll be able to afford for rent. For a pretty close estimation of take-home pay, I always recommend Paycheck City (be sure to click where it asks if you're a NYC resident, as you'll have to pay City Tax).

$3,000 a month will get you an apartment in that area and not much less. Seriously, you sound like you've never been to Manhattan before. There aren't any houses it's all apartment buildings and big ones at that adjoining each other.

17th Street is near Union Square Park which is a major subway interchange half way between e/w Manhattan and also an area with cross town (e/w) busses. This means that you can live most anywhere you can get to any subway station from. The transport cost would be the same once you're on. The only thing would be the time to ride and get there. It's a great area, my old neighborhood, but you'll find much less expensive places to live.
