I've accepted a job in the upper west (160s) side but plan on living in the upper east (low 70s) side. How bad would my commute be? I currently live in another state and drive 10 mins to work so seeing that it would take me about 45-50mins via public transport ( I will sell my car prior to moving) sort of worries me. While speaking to the management company about this I was told there are people that do that commute but I just find that I might get really tired of spending that much time on the road. Is this a typical commute time? What's your average commute? Anyone doing this?
I would love to stay downtown west but it's painfully expensive and plus my housing would be cheaper (300-600, but more amenities and more space) if I stayed in the upper east side because it's work housing. I don't have to use a broker either so I don't have to worry about that expense.
Also, I have read much about the east vs west and uptown vs downtown. I'm single 30F, would I be bored to death in the upper east side? those that live there how do you like it?
Would spending more in the areas that I'd like to live in - Chelsea, West Village, Soho- be worth having a tighter budget? Would it be a drag to go downtown on a weekend?
I know a lot of questions 😁... I hope this is not a question that has been asked multiple times, as I tried a search and couldn't find much. Thank you for answering!
