Moving from MPK and all apartments I’m seeing in Manhattan are like shoe boxes and Washers and Dryers are considered luxury tf? I don’t care about the views but they are charging extra for that too. I saw a nice place in Williamsburg Brooklyn and I’m also thinking of Jersey too for the extra space. Is this dumb? Where do you guys live? TC : $370k YOE : 3.5
LIC or Hoboken, NJ if you don't have to commute daily.
New York
fidi. pm me if u need help, I grew up here
If you want a decent place in NY with the basic necessities (which are luxuries in NYC - sunlight, laundry, closet space, etc) - move to Jersey or Brooklyn (if you have the $$). You can move further upstate if you don’t mind traveling and hour everyday each time.
I'm not an expert. I don't even live in NYC. But, from the times I've visited my friends there, the place to be def seems to be in Jersey right across the water. The subway is literally right there. Like 1 min walk. It gets you to Manhattan in like 15 min. You get much larger living space that's much cheaper. You get skyline views of NYC. Idk, I liked it. Ymmv I realize I'm totally an outsider here and really shouldn't even be contributing. But the decision just seemed so obvious to me when I was there. And I really want to relocate to NYC someday and so have given it some though
jersey is for boomers
You goto Jersey to die.
They are shoe boxes, and you go to a wash and fold. Also good luck getting an elevator. Welcome!
With that TC at this age, OP can live in a luxury apartment. Worry free.
Are u a single male? If so don’t live anywhere but Manhattan (below 105th). Otherwise go to Jersey City, Brooklyn or Queens.
Don’t move to the outskirts just for amenities. If that’s your goal just stay in the suburbs. Most of the infrastructural investment happens in the city. Go to the densest parts and try to find a 500-600 sqft place. Adapt to the place and don’t expect it to adapt to you.
Jersey City, much cleaner fewer weirdos than Manhattan, lots of cafes, bars and restaurants and slightly lower rents
Tc or gtfo
Updated. Now answer the damn question
Dude at that age at that TC, come on just enjoy your life before you get old, and move to frickin tribeca
