I need to move into Manhattan so I can be closer to work, and its been a PITA trying to find an affordable studio that isn't in the ghetto. I am looking for something like this: UES listing on craigslist (this one has already been taken) I have ruled out anything over 90th and I do no want to live in BK. Hoboken is still an option!

Nice place.

I know it's apples to oranges but that's a mortgage payment around here in the Lehigh Valley.

Greg Even JC by the waterfront is nice Exchange place and Newport are nice area's.

Hoboken is also a great option.

I think my friend is selling his 1 BR in the East 50's near 2nd Ave.

that craigslist deal wasn't bad

what's wrong with BK? park slope/heights is pretty close to the city

Cobble Hill is nice in Brooklyn, and it's on the subway line to Manhattan (don't ask me which one, a cousin of mine lives there.).

i live in long island city now. depending on where you live it can be just as expensive as the city. Whats your budget?

Rent is at an alltime high in NYC. Buying is good, but renting is a nightmare. My girlfriend just spent 3 months looking for a place. A studio will run you about $1800 with a broker (remember the broker fees) or $2000-$2100 without a broker.
