Just saw an awesome apartment on Houston and Avenue C. Thoughts on the area? Is it sketchy? 27 Year old man and woman looking

I live pretty close to there (Houston and attorney) and I like the area a lot, although Ave C is a little further from the subway than my spot. I’m a single lady and I’ve never felt unsafe, although if the thought of nearby affordable housing freaks you out then maybe it’s not the best for you, it’s not exactly gentrified. Bobwhite counter has amazing fried chicken, east river park is nearby and great for walking/jogging, and east village has incredible restaurants within 10 min walk. I think you can get more for your money in this area since it’s a little further from transit.

Taken out of context completely…

I’m pretty sure the subject is ‘affordable housing’, not ‘affordable housing freaks’

Moving to NYC from DC. I had planned to come up for a weekend or two to tour apartments. When would be the best time? I thought about a month ahead of needing to move - and then coming back a weekend or two later - would make sense. But I am seeing so many listings on StreetEasy that say the unit is available immediately. Any advice? I have a cat so trying to avoid moving into a temporary Airbnb in between to apartment hunt, as I’ve seen some people suggest.
