Hi,

I'm currently living at home in the Carmel/Lake Carmel area. I'm currently working in Purchase, so my commute is 35-40 minutes since I'm close to 84 and 684, which isn't too bad. But this will become more daunting with the upcoming winter months. I start work pretty early and can't really afford to miss any work. So I'm looking to move back to Westchester (I grew up in Mount Kisco, so I know the areas fairly well.)

My main issue is, I need to find something under 1k, as I have car payments and other things already taking up a chunk of my paycheck. I know that's difficult in Westchester and Putnam, but I do know of at least one place in Westchester that has studios for $900-$950. I was hoping someone might know of some more places I could look.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Mt. Vernon or Yonkers *might* have prices that low... but for a reason. Maybe find a roommate?

Thanks for the suggestion.

I think the place I heard about through a colleague is on the Scarsdale/Yonkers border.

I'm not doing the roommate thing, too many "horror stories" through friends and my own experiences.

The Avalon in New Rochelle and Mamaroneck are both good choices

Thanks for the suggestion. But I think both of those places have studios at above 1k, can't really go above 1k yet. I'm really looking for studios 1k and less.

Yeah, anything in Yonkers / Yonkers School District (even if you have a Scarsdale / Bronxville PO) will have cheaper housing because it's technically Yonkers and not as nice as the other suburbs.

I think my coworker lives in the Jeffery Park apts which has a Scarsdale zip, but by some maps is considered Yonkers.
