Re: Places to live in NYC
[ QUOTE ]
I have a friend who is contemplating moving to NYC. What are some reasonable neighborhoods for a single female? She's probably like to keep her rent under $1,200.

Brooklyn. If she wants to live alone she basically can't afford Manhattan.
Avoid the UE side, despite cheap prices as you get up there...
NYC is the kind of place where anything can happen anywhere. At 5:30 AM Saturday night two guys attacked a 31 year old giirl, on the street, at 35th and 3rd...which is about as safe, and horrendous, place to live as there is in NYC.
I vote Brooklyn, but not Billyburg or Greenpoint, commonly known as Sanfrancisco East...Fort Greene, Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Windsor Terrace, Carrol Gardens, Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill etc...
Close to a Subway is key, and preferably more than one. Really, close a BIG station is good. Atlantic, Borough Hall, etc....
