i live in bensonhurst. basically, 2k will do but it ll be very tight. i live in my own home so i m not sure what the price of rent is but i believe it should be anywhere from 1000 to maybe 1300 (for private houses). there are also some apartment buildings in the area but they re private apartments so i am not sure what the rent is like for those. so you ll have some leftover money after rent for maybe other bills or expenses such as transportation etc. it ll probably be a bit easier if maybe you have some savings to back you up in case you find yourself short on money.good luck, and bensonhurst is a nice neighborhood to live in.
Bensonhurst is a relatively cheap neighborhood to live in. with the right connections and the right location, you can have a studio apt for ~600 a month, 1br for ~800, 2br for ~1-1.2k. (my current studio is 550/month, ~400sf)so 2k a month is definitely doable, esp if you find a roommate to split rent with you.
It s doable, but you don t leave much room for saving for the future.
