Hey all! I'm considering a job offer at JFK airport, but don't know much about the area. Can anyone recommend neighborhoods to look at? I can't afford much more than $900 a month for rent, so I'm probably looking at a roommate situation, which is fine.
Ideally, I'd like to move somewhere where I can commute to work by public transportation but that owning (and parking!) a car is also feasible. Culturally, I'd like to live somewhere diverse with a writing/artistic community. Any recommendations would be very welcome!
You're gonna have to make some trade-offs.
All the neighborhoods close (or with good transportation) to JFK are in Queens, vs All the neighborhoods with a decent amount of artistic scenes are in Brooklyn/Manhattan.
In addition to the ones people mentioned above, I would add Howard beach for a safe neighborhood with a very short commute to JFK.
A good compromise would be rego park or kew gardens, since you'd be close enough to JFK and also have good transportation into Manhattan
Also, we live near springfield gardens/Rosedale and it's close/we're safe.
