If anyone who knows anything about the beauty industry could lend some advice, I'd love to hear it! What area's are best for me to look at apartments? I want to do hair and/or makeup preferrably for film/t.v./theatre or if I have to behind the chair in an awesome salon. (yes I have adequate experience for such positions) =0)
I know nothing about what trains go where, what areas are good for what... and so on. I could list a vast variety things that are desired in my ideal neighborhood, but I guess work, grocery, gym, park are the most important... of coarse in a safe neighborhood. I'd desire a 1 or 2 bedroom apt. no more than 1500 mo.
Does such an area exist??
I'm a makeup artist/Education manager for a cosmetics company and to be quite honest your career will have really nothing to do with where you live. This is New York and the subway is very accessible. I live in Brighton Beach Brooklyn and pay 1050 for a 1 bedroom. I recommend Brooklyn. I really feel that it's the best borough and much more affordable, more cultured, more fun, you can breathe with no tourists, and there's tons to do. Good luck. Go on the MTA website and look at the subway map and do some research on neighborhoods.
In general, neighborhoods in south-central Brooklyn will be much more affordable (and look less like "the city") than the brownstone areas in the northern part of the borough. Focus on names such as Kensington, Midwood, Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend, Bay Ridge.
Yes, sometimes for example, your gym will not be in the neighborhood where you live, it'll be closer to where you work.... Your local grocery store might be horrible, you'll have to travel to a better one. Little things like that are hard to predict.
