In NYC, what are some good neighborhoods outside of Manhattan?

[GTA 809]

I miss Astoria so much.
Never lived there but I used to be the manager at the Starbucks on Steinway, so I was in Astoria more than my own neighborhood.
if you guys are serious about the summit let me know

About 10-15% are real deals but the rest are just scams. I would say astoria (nice area, everything is near you & quite) is a good move because with your price range you cant move to the city. Right now i pay $1600 + utilities so about 2200 for a 2br in upper westside of manhattan (columbus & in the 90's area). Which is a steal but i only pay that because my gma used to live here before me. The whole thing with moving to nyc isnt really worth it unless you have some money saved (atleast 10k & better) or you have a decent job waiting for you. You can also find some nice apts around city college (137 area & bway). A few friends of mine have a 3 br on 138th and bway and pay 2400 in total for rent, utilities, cable & internet (so about 800 per person). Which is worth it to me because the apt is nice and big. Its in a 5story walk up. Hope this help

Outside of and close to Manhattan, your best bet would probably be Astoria.

deep canarsie, if you go by e80's that area is trouble but deep like e104 area is a lot better. note: high concentration of caribbean people. expect at least one person per block having a barbeque (especially in the summer)
