NYers, I'm thinking of moving! Chances I can find a studio for $2K in Manhattan or LIC?

For 2500 you should be able to get a pretty decent studio in midtown. Even in a nicer building.

You can get a pretty nice studio for $2K if you move a little more north...

I lived on the UES/Yorkville for 5 years, mostly in a 1-bedroom 5th floor walk up. So not concerned about that. More concerned about what rates look like. When I left that apartment in 2012, it was going up to $2K (I had been there since bottom of the recession and paid a lot less) and my $1,100 studio (in 2006) in the same hood was already up to $1,600 in 2012....

Yea, so I don't think 2k is reasonable....good luck tho,OP!

Brooklyn ?

Yes it is possible, will be small though, walk up and no doorman. I have a small 1-BR in prime LES for $2100. Did have to pay a broker though

like

$2k is feasible, it'll be an old walk up tho

Yeah,$2k will be a shitty studio, unless you head uptown

How's Harlem looking these days? 125th was already yuppyville and expensive when I left. How are 135th and 145th looking?

Better than paying $5000 downtown

Far out parts of Brooklyn, sure

Thanks all! This has been helpful :-)

OP, just look at Streeteasy

This is a bad time to move to NYC. If you can, try after late October. Prices are going up now, especially in Manhattan. Also: streeteasy.com

Thanks S3!
Agree, moving in the fall/winter is cheapest.
