Re: nyc housing question
If you wish to pay more you'll have absolutely no trouble finding an agent who will show you one that costs more - but 1,200 gets you a totally acceptable place and 1,500 gets you a really nice one.
Remember, Dorothy - you ain't in Kansas anymore.
Heat is free in virtually all apts. but elec isn't - and our elec ain't cheap.
Don't forget to account for a cable bill of ~ 100/month for TV and internet.
Also remember the $4.50 (or higher) gallon of milk from the corner market when you run out. The nearest supermarket might be a mile away.
It's a very expensive place to live; rent is high but not insanely high in terms of % of income.
But it's not all bad; NYC has some of the finest $12 cheeseburgers you'll ever eat.
