Neighborhood you would most want to live in regardless of price (Ridge: apartment, rent)

[OyCrumbler]

Obviously hypothetical, since every NYC neighborhood has a different price. Let’s say you get a 100 square meters, a bit more than a thousand square foot regardless of price in a nice building and you get to decide the layout, but not the kind where they wrap in a bunch of ridiculous amenities and no ******* neighbors, and you get natural light scaled with the neighborhood height plus the travel on all MTA services is included. What you get is a fine apartment, nothing more or less, with an elevator, secure package delivery. You can’t sublet, rent or sell it, you can’t leave it to the kids when you die, but you have it while you’re living.

Which neighborhood would you live in? Why?

I'll move to the Upper West Side. Everyone seems so down to earth, especially compared to the snobby Upper East Side.

Downtown flushing, where the old Ford shop used to be. Prince street and 39th avenue. An upper floor apartment facing Citifield, Laguardia, a distant view of Manhattan, and a nice view of the 5 bridges lighting the sky every night.

7 train,lirr,LGA, and van wyck,grand central,whitestone expressway just minutes drive away. USTA and the Mets 1 train stop away.

Not bad,imho...

Across the street from the Met overlooking the park.

Or the Upper Westside near Central Park West

I see that the fantasy specifies only apartment buildings, no SFH or Brownstones. So if I had to live in an apartment again, the above will just have to do.
