Where should I live in NYC?
I know that there are threads but most of them are geared towards midtown and Fidi. Where should i live if I’m gonna be working near Plaza hotel as a first year next year? Preferably I’d like to be either walking distance or less than 20 minutes on subway? Budget is less than $2k and I don’t mind having roommates. I know that there are a lot of factors but I am curious if any of you have experience for this area in the city.
Lots of options. I'd cast a wide net and get the nicest place you can, anything above Union Square should be under 20 min in the morning (and like a 10 min car home at night). In this market even at $2k you're looking at a lot of dumpy places unless you start flexing bedrooms
- Upper part of Midtown would be walkable, I personally wouldn't want to walk over 10 blocks for IB so say 47th and above
- the area around and just south of Columbus Circle IMO is one of the nicest areas (subway access, easy to get downtown, grocery, shopping, good bang for your buck), and a quick beautiful walk along the park to Plaza
- both Lenox Hill (~70s streets) and Murray Hill (40s) will be quick commutes - just make sure to stay west enough to be near the subway stations, parts of Murray Hill are 10 blocks just to get to the subway
Appreciate the help! Trying to stay below 2k because I’m trying to save some money for family stuff but I do plan having roommates. Do you think having an apartment with 3-4 roommates and each paying 2k should be decently enough for a semi decent place?
