32M moving solo to NYC this summer and looking for a 1BR with a $6-7K budget for the lease.
I have to work at an office near the Chrysler Building every day. Should I try to live somewhere where I wouldn’t have to transfer lines or is it not that big of a deal?
Proximity to Greenwich/Hell’s Kitchen for gay scene would be nice but seems like LGBT community will be easy to find pretty much anywhere so maybe not necessary to actually live there?
Don’t necessarily need quiet/family friendly since I’m single and enjoy a more eclectic and lively neighborhood feel, but also find the tree-lined quieter streets charming. Access to green parks/space would be nice.
Generally want easy proximity to lots of subway lines since I’m new and will want to get around easily as I get to know the city. Trying to avoid areas where its always 10 min + walk to a subway
Love concept stores / shopping and will want to get to gyms easily, but also figure that’s pretty easy anywhere.
Thanks in advance to the locals and long-timers for any suggestions
