You need a roommate for Astoria but you could split a decent apartment for 1600 a month. Nice amount of yambs sprinkled throughout.

5 min taxi ride to my Tribeca apt.Don't understand why people feel the need to live in the city
I rather live close enough to it![]()
ok u got it bro
5 min taxi ride to my Tribeca apt.![]()
no he doesn't. It's either rent controlled/stabilized apartment or someone he knows been renting that apartment for 20 years and he got it next. or he found the steal of the century.didn't read the rest on the thread, only up to this post, but my friend has a Studio on 58th right by the Queens borough Bridge . Between 1st & 2nd. The rent is your budget at $2,300 month. Stainless steal appliances, new bathroom, very nice.
To describe the place: He just had a Halloween party comfortably with around 15 people.
hope this helps. it gives you an idea at least. good luck OP.
he was a suburb boy, but now loves the city.
EDIT: i see some people saying $2,300 won't get you anything, not true.![]()
Young bright man with a college degree and you want to rent out a shoebox with a hefty monthly price tag?
Come to LA for a good change in scenery
Thanks for all the advice so far. I should have stated my rent budget is a max of 2300, not including living expenses. I was offered a salary of 47,000 and from I can gather so far I wouldn't really be able to save any of that in Manhattan or some of the nicer borough's.
^ Dude hooked OP up with that breakdown, plus provided him with the essentials. I predict OP will settle for Queens, it's the safe bet.
47Grand daddy???? That's not gonna cut it, Pa....you can't afford to live in NY for 2300 a month rent, is you crazy?
Your rent isn't suppose to be over 30% of your monthly take home pay. 47k a year calculates to maybe 2.8grand a month (AFTER TAXES)...rent being 2300 leaves you with $600 a month for groceries, utilities, transportation, entertainment. How you gonna get fresh? How you gonna get the yambs? These New York girls ain't bout to be with a man that don't got money in the bank, B...you don't wanna be livin paycheck to paycheck, god...
These scammers is out here flourishing in NY, fam. Taking all of the yambs. Pushing the M5s and Lexuses and S-Classes...How you gonna compete with that? You can't go to La Marina in the summertime with $100 in ya pocket and expect to get attention. You gotta come hard, pa. Now I'm not saying to not move to NY...all I'm saying is it's NOT gonna be easy. NY may have softened up with all the transplants and gentrification going on, but there's still some gully pockets.
Now to help you out...let's say you take home 3 racks a month. You do not want your rent to be any more than $1500...and that's a STRETCH. Because your NT fam, I did some research and I found you a couple of nice apartments I think night interest you. It's in Queens, Subway accessible, and not too far from Manhattan.

$1.195 a month. That leaves you with some pocket change to hit up Perfections and Sues Rendezvous and find you a little shorty or whatever.
