Moving to New York

My fiance and I are moving to NYC in August. Any suggestions on the best buildings to look at / areas that we should particularly look at? Working in Noho and Chelsea. Budget we are thinking is between 3-4.5k which we can't seem to find anything good for in those areas for obvious reasons.#housing #newyork #rent Combined TC: 306

Windsor terrace/park slope area in Brooklyn is great. Family friendly and prospect park is amazing.

Prospect park is amazing if you've never lived anywhere with parks or nature

Look into along Long Island City, in Queens or Jersey City,NJ - I lived in both locations they are great and slightly more affordable than Manhattan. Also the commute times are super short.

I can second these areas as great areas for young professionals with reasonable rent

Don't think I could do jersey city but long island city maybe... I don't know why jersey city just doesn't sound the same as Manhattan šŸ¤£

Look around 6th Ave near Flatiron

Any specific buildings or anything?

Dumb question is it pronounced flat-iron or flati-ron

check out stuytown - they have their own website and dont really list on streeteasy. I was in the same position - moving to nyc with my partner with the same budget and ultimately ended up picking stuytown. DM me if you wanna discuss

Hi me and my wife moved to nyc in 2019. Depends what size of apt you are looking for, you could find some pretty nice studio/1br in Manhattan with your budget. Feel free to dm me if you have any question. All the best!

check out Abington house luxury apartments (500 W 29th St). The amenities are amazing!

They only have studios available online... The site it's on has some interesting places tho! Thanks!

Update: found a nice small place in the UWS. 1br for $1950

Amazon Shitp0ster Jul 28, 2021

Could I PM for the place? I'm moving to NY and I was looking at UWS as well. Couldn't find anything below 2k

Was looking everyday as things hit the market and took it sight unseen and got lucky
