How can I find a decent studio in nyc without going completely broke?|175793

I have been apartment hunting in nyc and would like to find a nice studio bc I have had bad luck with roommates and the roommate matching websites I have used have not helped out a lot either!! What are my best options to find a place that is not outrageously priced but in a nice part of the city?

A studio in Manhattan will go for $1800 or so. The other boroughs can be had for much less. Try Sunnyside, Woodside or Jackson Heights in Queens. These neighborhoods are a short train ride from midtown.

If you want to live in Manhattan its going to be hard finding a place that is inexpensive. I recommend you look up Astoria or Bayside they are nice places and a lot cheaper than the city. Also if you are getting a studio it is probably going to be very small. When you do get the apartment you should look up

I rented a storage unit from them when I got my first apartment and it worked out really well. Hopefully they will be as helpful to you.

LOLOL. Studio? Nice part of the city? Are you Donald Trump. You would do better in the Boros. Rent is outrageous even in bad parts of the city.

My advice, don_t look for one in Manhattan, because their expensive. Consider looking for a decent studio in the outer boroughs.

Good luck
