Are you still there now ?
I wanna move to NY but the rent prices are somewhat … troubling
Any insider tips ?
I don’t live in Manhattan, but I live close enough that i can travel there within like 20-30 minutes depending.
Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, even parts of the BX and Jersey are just getting crazy expensive now so I honestly dont . It depends on your budget, where you wanna live, where you’re working, etc.
It’s also good to be able to pay first, last month, deposit for any apartment you’re looking for so multiply move in by 3x’s. Also, theres almost no avoiding paying a broker at this point.
If you’re single you can do the roommate thing there are people on CL or whatever but I haven’t done that since like 2013 so im not sure how people are doing it now.
IDK theres a lot of variables and luck involved, it’s stressful. Theres probably people on here more helpful than i could be but feel free to pm me
