the question is how much money do you have to spend on rent? from there you can make the decision. you really need to visit places

u should move into slylees ass

theres plenty of places with all of that. yes Williamsburg is all of that. As long as you have the funds to pay for rent, it wont be a problem living there. ive heard rent is comparable to that of Manhattan.

There are so many threads about this, maybe we should make a sticky.

A couple of threads here for you to get some ideas:

and HERE

Keep in consideration Williamsburg costs as much as an apt in Manhattan, you're prob better off getting something in South Slope, Bed-Stuy or Bushwick, considering your budget. Nightlife I don't think should be a big issue, since most of these places are a 15-20 min trip to Manhattan anyway (unless you'd like to do your partying in Midtown, which would be a 30 min trip), and they are still about a 5 min cab ride to Billyburg.

If you arent familiar with NYC, I highly recommend bklyn, specifically Rutland Road and Winthrop Street between E95 and E96 streets.. I was there the other day and it is magnificent,thriving,diverse and affordable with great neighbors, its quite a killer deal..hahaha

I'd say live in Harlem. I was paying $700 for my half of a 2 bedroom there.

New York, N.Y.
Building: The Pierre Hotel
Price: $70 million
Square Feet: nearly 14,000

It's not just the most expensive penthouse in Manhattan, but the priciest in the U.S.--and perhaps in the world. At the pinnacle of one of New York's renowned hotels, this triplex includes the Pierre's original ballroom--now a grand salon with 23-foot-high curved ceilings. It has five master bedrooms, seven full baths, five fireplaces, oak floors with mahogany borders and four terraces. The 360-degree views of the city are almost a bonus. For more information, contact Elizabeth Lee Sample and Brenda Powers at Brown Harris Stevens.

u were in hamilton heights my dear I liked it a lot there. plenty of space and transit for cheaper. maybe a 15-20 minute commute to midtown on the A/D line, 20-25 on the 1 line (the 1 train is the slowest mother effin train on earth bc its soo tiny and people dont understand the concept of letting people OFF before getting ON!!)
