You want an apartment in Manhattan that isn't a studio, and you want your rent less than $1000/month?  \n\nYou're going to need roommates.  \n\nGo look at CL for housing and roommates.

Do searches for "no fee" apartments\n\nGo through the classifieds of the villagevoice.com and nytimes.com\n\nBe careful about using "apartment share" services where a company will find you a roommate, many times you can be paired with complete psychos or convicted criminals. Many apartment sharing services do not do any sort of background check whatsoever.

I would say live in a low cost area if it's accessible to your job, is safe for your family, etc. The less you pay for rent/mortgage, the more you can pay on your other bills... just my opinion. :)

That depends on the local regulations and whether or not your apartment/home is what's known as rent stabilized.  In NY City there is typically a limit of 6% per year, but that %age varies from year to year.

just go to the apartment you want to rent from and if they do based on income, they can tell you exactly what it would be

housing is very tight right now. you may want to consider the surrounding parishes (counties), like jefferson, st. charles, st. tammany, st. john. best bet - come down before you move and drive around. lots of people put signs up on houses to rent, because they will rent in hours that way. some of the large apartments were estroyed but are being rebuilt. some of the corporates are tonti and first lake.

Checkout Craiglist and rent.com and that should give you a good idea.

I work in the general area of Mayfaire.  It is North Raleigh, and there are good things and bad things about living in North Raleigh.\n\nBut the area is generally nice - mostly wooded subdivisions and apartment complexes and mixed use (small office and retail).  It is clean and safe.  Traffic can be difficult, but if you're living anywhere near the city in NY, it will seem light to you.\n\nThe apartment complex is clean and new.\n\nYou probably don't want to live there if you are working in South Raleigh, or east of town.  But it is fairly close to 540, offering good access to RTP and areas west.

Rent will be $3000-8600 a month depending on which block and side of town you are in.  Then, you have the utilities, and your food/groceries.  People that live in Manhattan don't need cars, but they rely on taxis and subways.    If you want to have a social life--you will need to have funds to cover going out to dinner/ drinks, shopping, movies, plays etc--that's a hefty penny.\n\nSo, in order to live well in Manhattan, you need to earn 6 figures.  \nIf you want to live cheaper and still have access to the high life, then consider living outside of Manhattan in one of the boroughs or NJ. \n\nWord to the wise NYC is not like Friends show or Sex in the City.  If you want an apartment like any of those characters, you better think again!  Honestly, they don't exist, unless you don't mind spending several million dollars!

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)

move to brooklyn then. Anything in the city will be a fortune and very small. Apartments are very hard to find in the city. it's not like on TV. Lear the train systems cause owning a car in the city is extremely expensive car port rents are almost as much as an apartment. Good luck.

Probably not Philidelphia. Why not stay at boston and simply move to a cheaper apartment. If not, go to New York.

It being a large area with a wide variety of income ranges, there are many kinds of housing offerings and prices here.   How many bedrooms do you need?  Do you need to be within 2 blocks of public transportation?  Does it  have to be near base?  Which level of security do you require for your apartment?  Are you renting a small studio condo, an apartment, a room in a house, a duplex, or a whole house?  All these factors weigh in greatly on affecting what the rent is.

I have been sitting here for the past 15 minutes thinking about your question and reading the 1st response. \n\nHere I go. I do not know why someone would want to move there but people do. New York City does have a high cost of living but a lot of people do manage and they are not all multimillionares. The city has the best rapid transit system in the U S so if you want to move there you do not require a car, a big savings. I have been to NYC several times and think it is a nice town. I have also been to Boston a couple of times but did not get to experience too much of the city. \n\nYou have two tasks when you move to either city. 1. find a place to live and 2. find a job. Back in the good old days, it was not difficult to find someone taking in boarders. You just bought a copy of the local paper and looked in the want ads. I am not sure if that is a viable option any longer. It was when I was your age. \n\nI do not know what your skills are, but large cities normally have some form of employment for anyone who has a little gumption. \n\nYou will need some capital to tide you over until you find a job. I think a minimum of $3000 and maybe $5000. You do not want to drag a whole bunch of luggage with you. No more than 2 suitcases but preferably only one. You will need one suit for job interviews unless you start out bussing tables. If you could get a clerking job in a financial establishment, that would be a good start. \n\nThe closer you live to rapid transit, the better. In NYC you can actually live 20 miles our to town and still be on the transit line. \n\nWhy not rephrase your question on Yahoo and direct it to people living in NYC and Boston and specifically ask them for advice on what employment opportunities there are and where you might find a place to live. Tell them about what your skill levels are.
