Hey all,
Which are the best neighbourhoods to live in in New York? I would want a very safe area and a relatively short commute to FiDi for $2,000/mo.
Also, are listings like these real? Not sure if they seem too good to be true haha: https://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/sub/d/new-york……
Thanks!
Edit: sorry was unclear - I don’t mind room mates! $2,000/mo budget would include situations with room mates!

Everything in NYC is safe, and certainly any area you choose to live in will be safe.
I sincerely doubt that Craigslist ad is honest and accurate. $27/ft is extremely, extremely low rent. Too good to be true is my guess - probably a bait and switch for another unit, or it's someone looking for a roommate and not actually leasing a full one bedroom apartment.
Unless you're willing to live with a bunch of roommates, or have a longer commute, you aren't finding anything for $2,000 a month, I'm sorry to say
Intern, would you like a pony with that too?
That's a completely unrealistic set of requirements.
At $2k a month with a decent commute to Fidi (do you mean lower Manhattan?) and you have to live by yourself, check out Prospect Lefferts Gardens. You can still get studios in that neighborhood for that, you're by Prospect Park and close to Crown Heights which is trendy and has a lot of good bars & restaurants.
Go on streeteasy.com and filter for your budget and what you're looking for. There are some buildings on John St and also Maiden Ln in FiDi that are reasonably priced. You'll probably end up in the East Village though for that price range. Upper East Side has a lot of options, but you'll have to take the 4 train down every day, and it gets packed in the morning.
