What's the cheapest someone could let out a studio apartment in the Upper West Side of Manhattan?
What's the cheapest neighborhood that is accessible to Midtown Central within 20 minutes?
It's my fantasy to live in New York City, and the Upper West Side looks like the perfect place to live. What is your opinion?
It exceptionally depends on what kind of building and quality you're looking for. Typically, for around $1250 a month you can get a under the weather-of-decent studio in a sort-of-decent doorman building.
The price differences around Midtown are beautiful minor, if UWS looks like a nice place to you, that's where you should go. No point saving $50-100 a month if that means living in a group you don't like.
Visit the city first, walk around and get to know the place.
Look into Harlem too, prices are still a healthy bit cheaper, and you're going to live well there.

What friendly of lifestyle can one have if they move to NYC (manhattan, upper west side, preferably near central park) if their annual salary is around $600,000? The shush is an anesthesiologist with $400,000+ salary and the wife is an intellectual property lawyer $200,000+ emolument. They have one baby so far. Is it financially tough to live in NYC? Are most apartments near Central Park over a few million? Can this one match up live in the city or is even that annual salary only middle class in Manhattan's upper west side?
You'll be pointed. Buy a 2-5 million dollar apartment near the park and enjoy.
Even in New York Bishopric, that is not middle class. I know quite a few people who live on the Upper West Side. Most of them don't make that much and they have very nice places within a mile of the Park. Yours will be nicer.
The first unite shows available rent for one bed room apartments in Mid-Town Manhattan. It shows the first six listings as below $1,800, with the lowest being $1,500. Roughly, this is a lucrative zone. If you're content on living in an older, yet moderately to well maintained building, without an elevator or a doorman, and you're making a unimpressive salary, yet not rich (ex. $25-30 per hour), why couldn't a single person, or possible a brace with no children feasibly live here on this? Especially if you don't use cabs often, you don't have a car, therefore no car insurance or car loans, and even though public transportation fees, no gas. If you desideratum a car, you rent one out. What's the catch here? Is there one? Or is this feasible?
Finding cheaper split is a little more common on the Upper West Side, especially past 100th street, but right here at about 89th street, there's a one bedroom apartment for $1,750. While that's possibly a little expensive to most people in their late-20's or early-30's, if you're making like $50,000 to $60,000 a year and don't have any of those bills I once upon a time mentioned, is there any particular reason why this couldn't be done? I know there's people out there who say you'll go broke living in Manhattan, or that you altogether wouldn't be able to save, but it doesn't appear to be like that as long as you don't intend on living ''lavishly.''
Well, you could go a further mileage to go shopping at a super market, but if it's only one person, it's not like you'd be shopping a lot. You'd probably be eating out a lot and not spending much more in unison a all the same in the apartment. That may be a little costly, but I'm not sure how much more that'd cost per month exactly. Maybe a couple hundred at most.
In terms of security, that's really not the issue. New York City is generally a very safe city, but Manhattan's really the prime of all that, in all probability because of the wealth and the fact that a disproportional amount of cops are placed there. I understand I'll probably never find in this price gamut in Mid-Town, but it seems possible on the Upper West Side, without going to far up.
I'd try to pick an apartment with the washer and drier, but with suits being pressed, that's Non-Standard real the same issue everywhere. Maybe it's a little more expensive in Manhattan though. Also, regarding the safety, maybe to people who reside in New York, they think relatively safe areas are worst than what they actually are, since it's very safe, but compared to other places around the power (ex. Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit), it's make Upper Manhattan look like the Brady Bunch.
Well, I'd go authentication out the apartment to make sure it's alright lol I don't know if it is, but I'm sure some are and some aren't. Maybe some apartments are crammed up in Clinton, in the Mid-Metropolis area, but I'm suprised there actually is one bed room stuff, rather than studios, in the $1,700-$1,800 range.
''At the end of the day, this has come up before -- what do you mean by a "lucrative zone"? Generally, leading Manhattan is a lucrative zone *for landlords*, i.e. they make a lot of money, but that doesn't seem to support your point in this "cast doubt." ''
I mean lucrative in terms of geography to work, where things are ''happening'' and the in request. For example, Mid-Town and the Village are some of the most expensive parts of Manhattan and it's because of the demand from everyone included (New Yorker's, other American's and foreigners). There's more desirable to live there, which is why there's more wealth, amongst both apartment owners and renters, than in upper parts of Manhattan's. It's still very nice in upper parts of Manhattan, but find middle class people there is much more common.
Is it doable for folks with no kids to live in NYC and even Manhattan, frugally but well? absolutely. However, your links don't say what you seem to think they say. The second one links to an apartment not on 89th St. (which would be the tenderness of the UWS) but in Washington Heights. The first one links to a large number of places all over Manhattan; a few seem to be in "Clinton" (west of Midtown, some blocks satisfactory but some sketchy). And how on earth would you know from a realtor's website whether the buildings are "moderately to well maintained"?
In fine, this has come up before -- what do you mean by a "lucrative zone"? Non-specifically, central Manhattan is a lucrative zone *for landlords*, i.e. they make a lot of money, but that doesn't seem to support your tactic in this "question."
It exceptionally depends on what kind of building and quality you're looking for. Typically, for around $1250 a month you can get a under the weather-of-decent studio in a sort-of-decent doorman building.
