Hells Kitchen- lots of restaurants and bars, walking distance to Hudson, good gym options (Blink/Mid City), and affordable, esp with roommates
damn that sounds amazing ty
Yeah I second Hells Kitchen, great value. Just accept the fact youll have to take ubers and subway for nightlife but its worth the tradeoff
The average room in Hell's Kitchen, especially if you have roommates, costs at least $1500 from my experience. You are practically spending more than half of your salary on rent from what I understand. Please message me right now if I got something wrong here.
If you make 85k then your salary comes out to around 2,500ish a paycheck (just under 5k a month)
you should look in to brooklyn heights, some of my boys from college went there and are currently working in consulting/banking. It's kinda far but it's good quality for the rent.
Disagree, while I love and live in the neighborhood it is all parents and families more so than anything(myself included). Also everything within walking distance closes by 11pm except a Rite Aid and 1-2 bars.
Also, it is not cheap
What would your base be?
78.5 w a 6 signing bonus
Based on that and proximity to Hudson Yards, somewhere in Murray Hill sounds good. You can get a decent place for $1.5 - 2.0k and it would be close to Grand Central, which you can take the 7 straight to Hudson Yards.
Echoing the person above, Hell's Kitchen could also be an option, though I'm not that familiar with the area.
but a note here would be that this isn't banking/finance so im assuming the year end bonus will be 5k (so not including it as a part of anything)
My friend lives on 38th and Lex. Decent size 2 bedroom apartment. Each pays $1,500/month.
dope, will look into it
Specifically 137 East 38th and Lex
do yourself a favor and live within 20min walking distance to work. So, hells kitchen and chelsea would be best. Also, get a roomate.
Get an apartment with 2-3 roomates in Chelsea, that's the best you'll get. Try to be below 20th St so you can enjoy downtown night life!
Another recommendation to check out Murray Hill and Hell's Kitchen (I have lived in both locations).
Live in East Village. It is where all the young people live. There's a lot of great nightlife, restaurants, etc., and it's relatively close to a metro depending on where you decide to live.
Do not live in Midtown, even if your work is there...It's just tourists 24/7
Looking for a roommate right now in Fidi, have one friend and need 1 more. Beautiful apartment fully furnished, doorman building. PM me.
1st yr analyst here - live in LES it's the most fun..you feel like you're getting out the city when you go home has a college town feel to it
Which part of LES? There's the extremely nice area bounded by Houston on the North, Delancey on the South, Allen on the West, and Essex on the East. Amazing nightlife, restaurants, the works. You have Equinox at your fingertips and there's all of these luxury condos and rentals that recently sprung up. The rest of the LES is not super great - it can be a bit grimy and noisy.
You bumped the fuck out of this thread.
I didn't even see that the dude is probably long gone, but I would say Astor Place. Bro could take the green line up to the 7 and over to Hudson Yards.
Not sure how OP could do LES on his salary, the place is ungodly overpriced compared to a lot of the city. From what I saw, a lot of rooms were going for at least $1800.
Also, the place is really grimy, sketchy and dirty from what I saw. Once you get closer to Chinatown, the place is a dump and loaded with freaks.
haha dude Chinatown is Chinatown ... you walk through there and the fish stinks just the same way it does in China. I don't know how they do it.
How open minded are you? No homo.
Queens. Bayside.
That's an hour + commute one way. From most parts of Queens you have to take a local train and then transfer to an express. OP shouldn't waste his life away on the train.
You don't know what you're talking about. Express LIRR gets you to pen in 20 mins. He can't afford to live on his own in NYC with that income.
Hell's Kitchen + roommate would be my pick factoring in the salary. Chelsea/ the nicer parts of LES if you are willing to splurge/ get a raise.
LES would be ok if near the 2 avenue F, then could hit the 7 at Times Square to Hudson yards. That's a really cool area.
