Is it possible to find a studio or apt. for $600 - $800 ? (Benson: section 8, real estate)

[FLtoNY]

How far a decent place to stay for $600-700 would be to NYC.? 10 miles? 1 hour? Any city/town names? It should be a studio or 1 bedroom apt, not shared room. I know it sounds a stupid question for some but it is a serious one for somebody 40 yrs old, willing to live alone.
Thanks in advance.

A similar question was asked and answered here //www.city-data.com/forum/new-y...ithin-1-a.html
although the answers did not necessarily concentrate on "decent" places.

Thanks Henna. I searched the threads but apparently missed that one.

The new HPD housing are also an option. They accept section 8 as long as you meet all the other requierments. These are mostly in the southern part of the borough the Bronx with proximity to the city.

You'll be hard pressed to find something in that range unless you're willing to:
1. Live in a bad area
2. Willing to have a long commute to Manhattan.

I know someone who lived in a gated community complex in the Rockways for $650 for a 1BR. The downside is the commute is an hour and a half easily to Manhattan on a good day.

I know in the buildings around me in Flushing there are 800$ studios.

Two-fare zone, 1.25 hour to midtown.

I live in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, and I'm actually looking for someone to take over my lease. I live two blocks away from the N train, on 20th ave (you can google map to see where I live). It's $800 a month with all utilities included!!! I'm moving because I am being flown out to another state for an interview and there's a VERY good chance they'll make an offer. Reply if you're interested! The lease is for 9 more months, possibly 8 if I'm not out of here by the end of March. No broker's fee, this is just a straight lease reassignment and the landlord lives downstairs (it's a 2 story brick townhouse, there's a family--wife husband kid--across the hall from me and my roommate. My roommate is male.

It's 35 minutes away from Canal St and it's a very safe neighborhood. I'm female and I've gone home in the wee early hours of the morning and I haven't been bothered.
