I m going to be moving to NYC probably at the end of next year and I m just trying to get a feel for how much an apartment is going to cost me. I know even the tiniest apartments in the city are expensive. But I was wondering is it possible to find a decent apartment in the Upper East side of Manhattan for under or around 1,600 a month? I m not looking for anything huge or fancy of course for this price. Just a decent small apartment for one person.
You can get a good idea of prices by searching craigslist.You could get a nice studio probably for $1,600 in the UES, but I would rather get a studio in Brooklyn like ft. greene which is close to Manhattan. UES is ugly and boring.
Maybe on the upper East Side of the Bronx or Queens with $1600 a month. You don t want to go to the upper East Side of Brooklyn.
