@Marie03 -- No, actually one needs brains to realize that although much of Brooklyn is undergoing a burgeoning in gentrification, many of the neighborhoods shown are still the more crime ridden in B'klyn. Now the more affordable areas in Queens are crime ridden and roach infested as well, and often require at least 2 modes of public transportation to get around -- NYC's MTA is the worst in the country IMHP! Many Queens neighborhoods are segregated whereas, the realtors are informed not to rent to certain backgrounds of folk by the landlords due to biased perceptions(fear of property rates declining etc.) Although, I grew up in Rego Park, I noticed that when middle to upper middle-class so called "Black" or the darker complected (Latino, Indian, etc.)ethnic groups that tried to rent vacancies in our bldg., they never found success in getting any of the vacant apt.s where I lived, and my understanding is that that has not changed in most areas of Queens. For instance, I noticed recently in many, if not most areas for instance, you'll have an area -- or even just a row of bldg.s on the same block -- one bldg will have exclusively Poles, the next Italian, the next Brazilians, the next Asians and the next Latinos and so on . . . Everything is surely not what it appears to be. I didn't really know how prevalent and real this trend was here in NYC until I was offered a rental by a Tibetan(co-worker) that I decided to pass on, since I was NOT too enthusiastic about a basement APT. But I mentioned to him that I had someone who was in need of a place now. Later, when I asked my friend if he got the APT, he said that my Asian co-worker told him that he decided not to rent out the apt. Later on, when I queried my co-worker on his response to my friend in need, he told me that he didn't know that I was going to refer him a light-complected "black guy." He summarily requested that I not send him anymore people unless they were Asian, exclusively. Then I said to him, "Well, I'm not Asian and you wanted to rent the APT to me? -- So what is that about? . . . Though he looked at me in a manner of not knowing quite how to respond, he said, "But you are different, because I know you as a respectful, responsible worker and treat people helpfully, I would like to have had YOU rent my available APT." -- So he was basically, indicating that he was NOT willing to risk renting to a non-Asian, unless he had a prior and more personal good-character assessment of the person(s) that was not Asian.

Places like Hoboken and Paramus seem expensive too and places like Newark dangerous and kind of rundown? I could be looking at it wrong of course. Mind you, my idea of dangerous is not that of a hipster or yuppie. Lol I grew up on the Northwest side of Chicago, so not too dangerous (felt safe walking alone at night), but not the safest place in the city either (some violent crime here and there). I cannot do places like Paterson; that would be considered bad for me. 😁 Any thoughts on Jersey City?

However you don't"need" a car and the insurance, gas, maintenance, etc. which saves alot. It's just how you choose to live I guess.

Thirty years ago I tired finding an apartment in Brooklyn and the experience was a disaster. I was shown a studio, with the previous renter's belongings still there, plus a leaking frig with a car's battery inside LEAKING BATTERY FLUID!!! It was suggested I move to Jersey City, where I've lived in two different apartments. My rent started at $500. When I moved to apartment #2, in another location, I started at $550 and now paying $940. I'm retired and looking for apartment #3, because climbing 4 flights is a bitch on the knees. I'd like to find something in the $1200-$1600 range. So far realtors have told me that's impossible. Trulia tells me I can. I'd never move to Manhattan. I've always noticed how the rents and apartment sizes were different in Queens or Brooklyn and even considered them. Having to climb subway stairs changed my mind. I'm staying in NJ. I'll just have to work harder at finding what I want.

I'm no expert. It seems to depend on how safe the neighborhood is. Apts in my rent range is here but the area might not be safe, according to Trulia. It might also depend on how well developed the area is becoming. I've watched brownstones to multi-level apt buildings go up. Jersey City is trying to make affordable apts available. I'm been on a waiting list since July. I know I can afford the rent. All I can do is sit and wait. I believe Jersey City does offer a good quality of life, or people wouldn't be flocking here. I hope I answered your question as best I can.

Duane Brodnick Thank you, sir! Sounds similar to Chicago, except over here, the concept of setting aside more affordable apartments in the so-called “up and coming” neighborhoods isn’t really a thing. I’ve always wanted to live at least a year over in Jersey, as I was born over there and most of my mother’s family live there (haven’t spent much time with them), but I want a place with a city feel or close to a city. I’m not too keen on suburbia 😁 Hope this year brings you that apartment and many blessings!

If it should fall through, there's always Plan B - locating a realtor who will work with me and not butt heads. I may have lived in NJ all these years, but I still got a lot of NYC attitude still in me! LOL!!! Take care and be well.

The two important criteria is how short can you make your commute, and what's the quality of the neighborhood you live in. One thing is for sure, neighborhoods in NYC are changing pretty quickly. Bed-Stuy and Bushwick are good examples. Hell, even the South Bronx is now being called SoBro to sound more trendy and cool.

Just to give this some fresh perspective....I rented a one bedroom apt on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in the early 1970s and only paid 90 dollars a month. I had two roommates at first so that was only 30 dollars a month. Of course, it was a rent controlled old brownstone apt building built in the 19th century between 2nd and 3rd Avenues! Today, that same apt goes for $2500 a month! I checked it out on the internet! The apts today are all fully renovated since then with new floors, appliances etc. , BUT it also shows one the level of GREED ever since the 1960s and 70s! I moved out of NYC and then rented a brand new studio apt in NJ complete with swimming pool/swim club/tennis courts for just $162 a month! I'm sure that same apt goes for a thousand dollars or so now! I now rent a condo apt in New England that has two bedrooms, one bath with a tub, kitchen with washer/dryer, dishwasher, fireplace, huge wrap around deck and just down the road from a beach all for $1050 a month...a real bargain in this day and age! Thanks for sharing and good luck to renters moving to NYC! Glad I live where I live now!

There’s never NOT something to do. You guys have the best of everything, right outside your doorstep. I would kill to live in nyc! I live in Toronto in a one bedroom condo and my rent is $2000. And Toronto is a shithole.

okay I am officially Blown Away. I cannot believe the prices for New York City rent has come DOWN. the last I heard you can get a one bedroom in Brooklyn for like 3 Grand and Manhattan was like four or five grand. I cannot believe you can get a one bedroom in Brooklyn or queens and if you're a couple you're paying less than $1,000 each to live in New York. what in the hell happened????? Did the city go bankrupt??? Either New York rent has come down or the rest of the country has increased significantly. i recently searched for an apt in charlotte and the rents were easily at $900 to 1500 for 1 bedroom- beautiful Apartments but this is Charlotte. You are telling me that in New York where I can make more money I can get a place for 1750. I think I'm moving back to New York

A lot of people who work in NYC have moved to the NE section of Philadelphia, and commute to work. Even with the cost of train fare, it's way cheaper than living in Manhattan. One of my friends lived in the Chelsea section mentioned in video. Back in the '80s he was paying that much for a studio

NYC's economy is now based on wealthy youngish people from all over the country and the world moving there. The TV show Friends inspired young people and they came here and literally remade the city with that vision. Once crime was minimized, everywhere became "gentrified" which is not accurate, as the neighborhoods became safe for women or "womanized". The present Mayor is a political extremist who believes providing municipal services is "oppression" and so "homelessness" and beggars have skyrocketed. The belief is homeless outreach is oppression. Officially they do not believe severe mental illness is real and doing anything to help them is oppression. NYC is on the path to kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

@Myblockny7 жыл бұрын
Jersey City and Hoboken are great options for affordable and beautiful neighborhoods. Please keep in mind that if you live in New Jersey but work in New York city, the state of New York requires you to pay taxes on income you earned while working in New York, even though you live in New Jersey. So basically you will have to file taxes in both states.

Youp954 Look into the Ironbound section of Newark, also known as Down Neck. I live in Williamsburg Brooklyn, but that is where I grew up. I have been researching the ara for a few years now and my fiancé and I are looking to buy a loft space near Penn Station Newark. It is really changing and the plans and improvements have already begun. They are building it's own 'HIGHLINE" like in NYC and the art scene is pretty impressive in Newark. But for now I suggest the Ironbound section. Three ways to get into NYC: The Path (closest train gets you into World Trade in 20 minutes...midtown 45 min) The NJTransit gets you into 34th in 20 min and the bus 30 min. Believe me when I tell you do your research more that listening to people's biased opinions. I go there once a week to see family. :)

There's parts of Queens that are more city and parts that are more suburb. I live in the "suburb" area (I say that cause all my uptown friends say I live in the middle of nowhere but there's a strip mall 3 blocks from me in all directions) Anyways, $1800/m for 3 bed, 2 bath, and my apartments bigger than any of my friends. Sure my commute is longer to get to work/school but I think its worth it. My bf on the other hand pays 2,500 for a 2 bed (if you can call his room a room, he barely fits a queen size) 1 bath and it's way smaller. In his area theres no parking, everyone drives like assholes, and I personally feel theres WAY too many people and yet no one knows their neighbors. So yeah that's some of my input if you're looking lol.

The dream of moving to New York and landing a job is one that many foreigners from all over the world share. Let's take India as an example. - Do a research of major Indian companies that are based in New York and check their websites for available positions. - Check the website of the Consulate General of India in New York for any openings. - The United Nations always hiring new people from all over the world, check their website for any jobs in NYC. - Most of the big companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon and hundreds of other companies will sponsor work visas for the right candidate - Currently there is a huge demand in NYC for the following occupations: Software Engineers, Registered Nurses, Mobile Developers and Senior Accountants. If you are the right candidate, getting an employer’s sponsorship will not be hard. .
