“Affordable” rent for a household making $450k is $11,250. Just because you don’t want to pay $5,500 doesn’t mean it’s unaffordable.

Practicing for the quant components of my McK interviews this Friday, haha
5500 is not unaffordable when making half a mil. You want quality and quantity, at a discount. So does everyone.
I was in Miami for the 4th of July, and was informed a nice 2 bed is 6k. So I’m not surprised that a 2 bed/2 bath near NYC is 5.5k.
They live in Bay House in Edgewater!
Try weehawken or port imperial, its a bit harder to get into/out of NYC, but prices were cheaper when I lived there pre pandemic
Woah, weehawken ferry is fabulous and super accessible to get into the city. I live on the water in West New York and it’s great. I do think these area is probably the best bet for your budget OP, but maybe you get lucky with a nice building in LIC or something.
You think NYC is unaffordable because you don’t even want to spend 15% of your pretax income on rent :|
Check out the buildings around liberty state park. Still very close to downtown JC for considerably cheaper

OP, if apartments were cheaper, you probably wouldn’t be making 450K. People make less in areas where the cost of living is less.
You don’t have to spend $11,000 for a nice apartment in or near NYC, but $4500 for what you want is too low. Why can’t you pick something in the middle?
Your standards are just too high.
