Neighborhood recommendation request (New York, York: apartment, home, safe area)

[tisbutascratch]

Hi
I moved to NY from Europe in February 2020 – relocation with my employer. Plan was that I moved over and wife and kids were to follow in the summer. I was planning to commute a little between Europe and NY until they moved over. Europe travel ban was announced shortly after I arrived there so I moved home until covid passes – which we thought would be a few weeks!
So now it looks like it will be early next year at the soonest before I move over. I’m looking for a neighborhood recommendation for me to take an apartment for a short to medium term until the family moves over. I’m looking for a nice safe area, easy/short commute on foot or public transport to midtown. Not looking to pay a fortune on rent.
Any recommendations?

I assume you are talking New York City? If so, it's best to post in that thread or the city you are moving to. Good Luck

This is the NY State thread. As written above the OP needs to post in the NYC thread.
