If i control my urge to live in Manhattan it should be good enough :-\
I are n00b.
It's tough to resist... The commute really sucks... That's why I moved into town... 15 minutes on the subway, 5 minutes of walking, and I'm there.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)The commute seemed OK to me, I've been around the city enough times to not be shocked. I do need to figure out what all those letters on the subways mean though :sigh: A,B R,F...Z :omg:

In other words, anywhere but London, Tokyo, or the International Space Station.

Those get easy after a while... A-B-C = 8th Avenue Line 4-5-6 = Lexington Avenue Line 1-2-3 = Broadway line B-D-F = A little bit confused Anyway, think of them in terms of colors instead of letters/numbers. It's much easier.

That area is mostly commercial, but you could probably find a cheap conversion. You'd get a good quality building, but keep in mind that the area would lack the usual amenities. You've got the UN on the east side, followed by Grand Central and a bunch of midtown office buildings, followed by the insanity of the Times Square tourist scene as you move west. I mean, there ARE apartments, but it may not be the best neighborhood to live in.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)A friend of mine moved recently in a small studio in Queens with a river view - $1800. But it’s a shiny new building with a lot of goodies/gyms, pools etc/.

Most points in Manhattan are within 20 minutes of any other point in Manhattan by train, save for a 5-10 minute walk here and there. If you can handle up to a 40 minute commute, you might want to look into western points in Queens (i.e. Astoria, Long Island City) and/or Brooklyn (Williamsburg, Fort Greene, etc). Because both areas are 5-10 minutes by subway from Manahttan, they've both been developed into really nice neighborhoods. As far as moving directly into midtown Manhattan, unless you're looking at "fixed income" housing, you probably wont find anything overly affordable, unless you're really lucky.

Thanks for all the info, I was in Long Island for almost a year and half and never quite figured why it was so costly.
