I love my place on the UES and I used a broker. He rocked and I got into a coop building for a steal.
Try to avoid paying a fee and try to live in the city or Brooklyn. You're moving to NYC most likely temporarily so get the most out of your time here, don't try to save a buck and live in Jersey. Brokers don't do anything. You find apts about one month before you move in since that's when postings come online. Try streeteasy, Zillow, Craigslist or try to find specific buildings you like and go directly there. In general: newer, bigger buildings have a higher chance of avoiding a broker fee. Strongly recommend getting roommates.
Then stay in Jersey, save 💰
Yep. Jersey City. Look at paulus hook! (77 H)
Don't pay a fee. Look at equity residential.
Umm..... Op I'd definitely check Jersey City. My 1 bdroom facing the Hudson in Paulus hook was $3650.
Thanks, EY2. Definitely don't want a 1 hr. commute. Any recommendations on brokers or how to find one?
Understand the tax comment. Will probably just be slightly over 50% in Chicago (or will aim for that). IL state tax is lower.
Also: cheapest neighborhoods are in Hell's Kitchen, east village, upper east side. Nicest areas are west village, greenwhich village, Chelsea, UWS (around 72ish), TriBeCa...
Thanks for all the advise. Just moved into new place at 72nd and Broadway. Next to 2/3 express train.
Good choice... now you can party with the all the TSQ 🐠
Uws. Express train.
Around union square. 4,5 express
Thanks. Great recommendations. Also, it is a bit complicated, but I won't be spending weekends in NY. Would you still go with Union Square or closer to where I work.
What is your budget OP?
Would like to stay around $3k if possible
Also keep in mind the taxes!
What are the taxes like?
My primary residence will still be in Chicago and I own a house there. Not sure if that makes a difference.
UWS is awesome. Otherwise, BK
A sh*tton in NYC. Miss the Jersey days! There is state and city in NYC. State only in Jers
