What do you think about living in SoHo?

I say go for it. Shoot for a 1 bedroom in Soho. Grab a loft.

Op needs a place to share with a roommate for around $3300. A loft to share with another dude wouldn't be so much fun.

I can't believe he's even thinking about that neighborhood. I would be more concerned about bedrooms, bathrooms, and closets than neighborhoods.

You would probably have better luck finding a small studio a few blocks north in the Village. When I lived on Bleecker Street, I used to walk to Soho all the time. Just a few blocks away.

That seems a little absurd.... don't fib just to participate.

I live on the border of Soho and Greenwich Village now. You won't be getting a 2-bedroom for $3,000. Studios trade for more than $2,000 and usually closer to $2,500, one bedrooms at least $3,000. Frankly, there's not a ton of going out in Soho--it's now a shopping neighborhood. In fact, the streets are pretty dead most nights. On weekends, it's overrun with tourists to the point that it can be hard to get around. I'm all for living close to work, but this doesn't sound workable/desirable for you.

I was gonna say. Welcome to not-worth-itville.

I used to see UES studios for $1500, not that long ago. Still a lot of money to say you live somewhere, but not a total fleecing IMO. (If you want to and you can...)
