  • Just finished my apartment search, have you considered Astoria, Queens? It's an incredibly nice neighborhood in north-western Queens, the N/W line runs through it. I'm coming from a shared studio in the east 80s, so moving to a two bedroom with a backyard, a 30 minute commute at only an additional 50% over the studio has been incredible. Astoria is a real multicultural community, my girlfriend and I feel totally welcome and safe on its streets at any time of day. Hopefully things work out.
  • Thanks Jake. I live in Astoria, by LGA right now. I love it, but the commute to downtown manhattan is about 1+ hours, which is too long for me.
  • That's amazing! I always thought that the rental market in NYC was unreachably expensive, turns out that it's actually not that much than my extremely overpriced hometown Toronto. Especially now that our dollar is at 95c US. It's nearly impossible to find a decent sized one bedroom for under 1100/mt here, unless you want to live in gangland.
