Brooklyn Heights - Where to begin?

Hey all,

I'm interested in living in Brooklyn Heights anywhere with reasonably quick access to the 3 train (fast commute to downtown), spend around $1500/mo, ideally less. Any recommendations for how to begin the search? What is it like to live there and commute into the city for work? Brokers, websites, etc....

Thanks!

Don't do it. Live in FiDi. If you get a roommate, you can easily spend that amount or less ... and get a banging place.

When it's 4am and you want to go home, only to be back at 8.. between train rides+walking and getting ready for bed, you're going to lose 2 of those four hours you could be sleeping

Don't do it

In the war against you and the other qualified candidates out there, the best arsenal is to prove that you have outdone yourself.
 

I'm sorry, but I think it's generally agreed that unless you're working in back or middle office with significantly less demanding hours, work in Manhattan = live in Manhattan.
