I am seeking some opinions regarding where I should look for a small apartment. I am contemplating accepting a position in Yonkers which will pay between $40-$45k a year.
About myself: I am single, 23, caucasian and live upstate. A part of me has always wanted to live in the city and if I accept this job in Yonkers the city is no doubt the place for me to be.
3 factors are important to me: length of commute, cost of living and social opportunities. Like everyone who moves to NYC I want to live in the best area and get the best bang for my buck.
In summary: What are some lively young neighborhoods that aren't absurdly prices and within reasonable commute to Yonkers? I appreciate your input
i might think a studio in central or N Riverdale, Kingsbridge, Woodlawn (if you can get in) or Bedford Park might be doable but it depends where in Yonkers you are working and how you are commuting
Live in YONKERS or Westchester! Why pay the NYC Income tax? (Yes I KNOW, but the YONKERS tax is much less.)
