Hey guys, where do you recommend for living near Times Square on a 70-80k base salary-- for my first year in the city? I’m budgeting $1500-2500 for my half as I’m expecting a roommate.

Consider across Hudson River in NJ eg 6515 boulevard east West New York NJ has 700 square feet 1 bedroom apartments for rent at $1400 plus minus all to yourself. Bus right outside building puts you in port authority bus terminal in half hour. I used to live there.

Have you established how often you will be working at Times Sq, not at clients.

Hello Kitchen, Upper West, or Upper than that with the 2-3 express stops.

Upper East near 2nd Ave line will also drop you off in TSq

Normandie Court on the UES - 15 min max to your office. Great for kids starting out and a lot more to do up there than people thing.

Otherwise, look in Murray Hill or Hell’s Kitchen.

@Goldman Sachs 1, I just want to be near enough so my commit is 15 min or less walking. Or 10-15 min on rails

@ IB Associate 1, I hear Hell’s Kitchen a lot. Do you recommend any specific complexes?

@UBS 1, I’ll be in the Valuation & Modeling practice so probably 99% in HQ. Appreciate the insight, I’ll look into it. Any properties you recommend?

@TA 1 I just want to have a decent spot

Hella kitchen can be cheap if you don’t mind locking up five flights of stairs and OK with not having a doorman

My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!
