I am teen, and i love Brooklyn,  I live here and there are alot of things to do and a lot of diversity,  you have the mall, movie theaters, roller skating rink,  labor day parade if you are west indian,  Too much to even explain. Visit sometime with someone that can take you to all of these places.  See for yourself (and you would not get raped in brooklyn,  if that was the case you can get raped anywhere)

The stereotype is over exagerated. I used to spend at least 2 weeks a year in New York for my company and found the people to be mostly very friendly and helpful. It is true that everyone is in a hurry and if you stand still in the middle of a sidewalk you may get walked over, but all in all New York is a fun, exciting city full of life and interesting people. I think you will enjoy it there.

check the crime rate, check the school standing nationally, check the neighborhoods, check the local tax rate. what about the seasons?  without these numbers it is too difficult to decide. you say fiance, do you want kids, how friendly is the new place to kid and family activities? is the birth hopital good? \nIt is always good to try something new, but it has great risk. You know these jobs, you know these people, what about the new ones? Can you come back if you change your mind? if the new place is awful? Will you be losing any major benefits like health care or pensions?\nAvoid declining states like Ohio, land poor states like Hawaii, or incredibly money poor states like Nebraska and Tennessee (average income is less than 30,000, to name only a few). No matter what state, there are towns that will never accept a newcomer as a local. That means police harrassment for anything and everything. Example, setting trash out for pick up too early or not keeping your lawn the requisite three and one half inches tall...  (I have lived in each of these places so please don't be a hater, I wasn't a local, I didn't know the "rules" and have a bad taste in my mouth from these places, I actually still live in one of the states listed) \nIt is worth a bit more research, the more that you look, you will find a concrete answer to what you ask by finding something important to you. Also, checking the top ten lists of metros will help. (kid friendly list, crime rate list etc.)Trust me when I say the numbers and risks and benefits are not the same when you dig far enough down.\nYou may want to stay, you may want to go, but your digging will show you everything that you have maybe missed doing where you are before you leave.

that is what i am doing, but im not moving to another state, just another part of town.  you need to ask your self what kind of town is the best place for you.  what are you looking for.  small town were it is quite but no shopping centers for 140 miles (that is Gillette, WY. were i am at) or large city were you have tons of thing to choose from for your free time, but cost of liveing, crime , and houses are a lot higher.  there is no reason to be misrable if you dont like being were your at.  if you have the fredom of leaving when ever you want then do it.

Only if you want to invest in that area. I hear it is one of the top places to live or visit, go for it. Good Luck

That's a hard one, because I've been to both and love both places.  I've been to NYC many times and told myself if I was ever offered a great job in the City, I'd move there.  Also, I've been to PR a few times and could also live there, but only if I could learn more Spanish.  \n\nSo, if I had to choose, I'd go with NYC, but PR is also a real cool place.

I do not want to say for certainty you will not like it.  More detail would be good to make a better answer for you.  Cleveland is now considered more a family city, so if you have a family you will probably like it.  I suggest living on the east side, there is more culturally to do, and more diversity.  I have lived here a long time so if you have some questions, email me by clicking on my name.

Hi Christian!\nNow that the housing market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out a new place to live. This summer you need to shake off that "lucky I even have my folks to live with" mentality, polish up your shoes, and explore your living quarters options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic places out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible tree house or fort you always wanted!\n(I heard the esperanza area is a great place to find a cardboard box near the dumpster behind a pizza joint?)\n-zealnik

Check out the cost of living for the city you are thinking of moving to first against where you are living now. That will help you decide. It could be just a break even proposition.

Not safe and not that close..Harlem is too far north from NYU. Queens is also too far north from it too.\nI would check out Brooklyn..technically it is over the river from Manhattan and right across from downtown where NYU is. The subway wouldn't be that long.probably 5-10 minutes.  New Jersey may be another bet though. It is south like Brooklyn and not far from downtown Manhattan (where NYU is)

i live in new york, but the only reason its scary is cause i think, what if iraq comes and throws a bomb(like the world trade center)the thing about n.y is that alot of people have attitude and dont care.i live in the bronx,i wouldnt move to brooklyn n.y cause thats where shootings happen and manhattan but the only thing about manhattan is that the streets are clean.in summer time in new york is very hot,but in winter its very cold.the only way you can like n.y is if u can handle and take care of yourself.plus in bronx n.y there is alot of parting and music witch bothers after a while....this came from a 15 year old

I would suggest the New Bern area.  Housing prices are now going up, but the people are friendly and the area is beautiful.

i used to live there when you could rent a nice place for 700 a month.\n1900 should get you a fine apt.\ni'd look downtown, east side, or one stop outside of manhattan on the L train, in brooklyn. you're more likely to have more space. if you smell any kind of chemical sprays on your first visit, then that's a sign you need to find another place.\nlots of big bugs there. unless you don't mind sharing. they mostly come out while you sleep. and if you sleep with your mouth closed, then you're fine.
