Re: New Yorkers, where would you live in NYC for $3k/mo?

Frankly, if you can afford it, I would think about spending $4-5k, because then your options open up and you can start looking at places that you could actually consider "home". What you get for $4k+ is so much more than what you get for ~$3k and is in another world from what you get for ~$2k.

Having just gone through the moving thing and looking into all kinds of stuff (including some of the above even though I had no intention of spending this much) I think the above is true.
You can get a pimp 1 br in a luxury bldg in most neighborhoods if you're willing to bump up your spend. 3K will get you a perfectly fine 1 br in a great neighborhood, but if you want to have the best options you need to spend a little more.
