I would recommend Chelsea and east village over HK for the things you want access to. One question - 3500 sounds ridiculous as in too high or too low? If you want a 1br for 3500 in Chelsea or east village, you won’t be getting a nice place with a comfortable WFH set up (if you can even find anything for 3500). That being said an okay studio is doable, but it won’t be big. In Hell’s Kitchen you should be able to get a bit more space
$3.5k seems high to me. Is $3.3-3.5 a range I should be comfortable with? Hard to see that money go
$3.5k unfortunately is very little in NYC - think studio in a meh building and not a luxury place you'll love to WFH in. Look on StreetEasy to get an idea, but to throw out a range, a luxury 1 bedroom in Chelsea is minimum $5k, and up to $7-8k for a top-of-the-line condo 1 bedroom. I would prioritize 1) laundry in building (you won't be able to afford W/D in unit for most places) and 2) a doorman to receive your packages. Those will be a bit tough at $3.5k but IMO both are a huge quality of life improvement for someone working a lot of hours.
Where are you working, and roughly how many hours? Assuming you're in 3 days a week and working a fair number of hours, I'd try to stay within 1 subway line, and no more than 15 min total walk. It's kind of hard to get across town east/west on public transit unless you live right by the L or 7, but north/west is easy.
As for nightlife, unless you live way up on the UWS/UES, it's an under 20-30 min subway or Uber to most hotspots from a lot of the city. I would prioritize an easy commute to work and a nice enough apartment as I doubt you're going out to bars more than once or twice a week
Finally, don't forget about broker fees which are 15% of annual rent payable upfront.
Thank you for the help.
So what range would you recommend looking in? Is meeting the 40x rule common?
Midtown but moving to Hudson Yards next year. Hours likely average ~70.
I would look in the $3-3.5k range but be prepared to spend the full $3.5k. Most people do hit up against the 40x rule if they don't want roommates, and honestly I know a lot of people in $5k apartments that their parents pay half of. Just for when you go to your friend's and wonder how they get such a nice place.
You can look at the transit maps but A/C/E is convenient for Hudson Yards (the E train turns and goes to midtown too) or you can do pretty much any other line and transfer to the 7 at Grand Central or Times Square. I'd cast a wide net (below midtown, within ~7 min walk of a subway that is the A/C/E or connects to the 7 or A/C/E train, so not way over on the east side or far west in Hells Kitchen where it's a 3 avenue walk) and see what you get.
Insane that 3.5k is very little in NYC. Assuming you are a first year analyst making 110k base, your take home would be around 6k a month and spending around 60% of that on rent is unimaginable
Send me a DM, I can check what we have availabile in the inventory that might work for you. We have stuff littered all over Manhattan.
Go to the East Village, don't go to Chelsea.
This place looks cool - in EV - private oudoor space! And super close to the subway.
$3,500

Only downside here is there is no W/D in unit. It's definitely worth it to have a W/D in unit, but I lived for 4 years in Manhattan without one and it just meant dropping off clothes and picking them up at the cleaners. Some friends paid for full service - they come to your door and drop off finished laundry at your door. Its really convenient though because they fold everything and put in a saran wrap cube. So easy.
I found those services expensive/hard to use for duvet cover/sheets. any recs?
