i have been told that brooklyn, esp. williamsburg, is a good place for young ppl. and has good nite life too.
i want some place thats close to the transportation systems (subway), grocery stores and restaurants (so i dont have to lug stuff around for a long distance) and a place close to a good gym. and of course with good nite life =)
i'm moving from LA. |

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 |

| 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!!) :whip: |
