You'll be fine on that salary but budget more for rent. You won't find anything in that range in Manhattan unless it's a slum or way up in Inwood which might as well be the Bronx.

Never got the allure of living in Manhattan.

Currently at 127k living in Pelham Bay.

Life is great.

Do you realize you're responding to a seven year old thread?

With 24 hour doorman coverage and rotations among the three buildings, that is 12 doormen. A $6000 doormen tip ($500 each) is over the top, certainly for me and most people I know.

Fordham , university heights , Mosholu (Bedford park /Norwood ) , longwood , parkchester . Belmont . Most of the Bronx looks very similar to each other and u could only tell them apart if you lived in the boro your whole life . Parkchester was the most different tho but not much better . Most of the Bronx is poverty and looks like it , parts that aren’t is most likely very isolated and very far ( like riverdale etc )
