yeah, rents went up a lot recently but eh, sounds like she's loosing her shirt. I think a 1 bedroom is around 2k month tops still. When I moved back from Europe 3 years ago or so I got a 1 bedroom for $1000 then last year I paid 1600. Now I have a real 3 and that's around 3k and I catch deals granted I paid a brokerage fee but I write all of that off.

I'd say it's the neighborhood/area to shoot for. fort greene and clinton hill have a mixed bag on subway access and bed stuy is still pretty hood/no subway.

wburgh and bushwick more specifically are far from lower manhattan but there's cool stuff out there no matter how hard I lampoon it. I was out there tonight and had fun.

Thanks for the recommendation breh, that's what I was looking for, names of neighborhoods and shyt like ft green, Clinton hill etc, when I've been looking online it'll say "brooklyn" or "harlem" which doesn't tell me much, I'll look harder

"clinton" is semi midtown west in Manhattan, there isn't a lot there, you'll walk a bit to a train, granted it should be express. clinton hill is relatively downtown brooklyn, good food, some bars, semi reliable c train, access to the rest of brooklyn via cab/train/walking.

i paid 1200 for a 2 BR/1B a few years back. 1 block away from the metro station, 3 miles from district line, 1/2 mile off a 495 exit. safe working class neighborhood.

i used to pay 1000/month utilities included for 3 BR, in NC, so i get it. but living in NC sucks so i'll gladly pay a few more a month
I couldn't find anything for $1200 where the reviews didn't say mice or roaches. I can't have that shyt. I can deal with anything else but no pests!

Yeah there isn't nothing to do here. I don't even go out much, I'm a home-body but damn...there's nothing to do here.

This nikka @The Dollar Menu lost me at NY :mjlol:
This is real life my nikka... If you ain't playing for the Knicks... I don't see why you would want to live out here.... :snoop:
I'm praying for the day that I get to leave this Godforsaken city :mjcry: :mjcry:

If I make the move I'll have the luxury of transfering with my job back to socal if I don't like the city :yeshrug:

look in nassau county. cheaper than the city and also nicer. most parts are a 30 minute train ride to manhattan and only about 20 minutes from jfk.
