I take B-100 every day … to Kings Highsway.. two times a day …

The only problem about this area is .. no subway.. else its very nice, calm and beautiful !

You know what i 've noticed… most places that don’t have much subway ARE alot nicer than the places that do have subways.. Riverdale (in BX) is also the same way, gorgeous gorgeous houses but huge hills and not too many buses. I was in a part of queens, ozone park i think? there were boats in the driveway and of course kings plaza mall…

@Mamaof3

I’m in NY too lol! I lived in Forest Hills, Queens…a very pretty upscale, safe area. I grew up in Long Island…a seaside town about 2.5 hrs from NY by train. Also pretty and safe. I lived on 86th and 3rd Ave in Manhattan and loved it but would not raise children there.

Now I live in lower westchester which is about 30 min north of NYC by train. School district is in top 10 in the nation, taxes are obscene but with 3 boyz in school, its worth it. If school/kids are not in your near future, you dont need to worry as much about these things.

My god upper east side, when was this? the buildings in that area..are just nice! but i could nver live there..not in a million years!

@SID_NY

I’m at exit-53, 495. Technically its not in the mid of longisland but still its 1 hr from nyc by train or car.
I think someone who has recently moved from Pak or any other state and has no family should start from Queens/Bronx/Brooklyn. Sometimes I just wonder how would it look like living around Jackson heights. But yes, when you start the family you gotto move out.

i want to move. :hinna:

I lived there from 1995 till 1998, It really was nice, a nice building, good security, no roaches lol. And so very many restaurants and shops - that area is called "restaurant row", you can get any type of cuisine from any area of the world at any time of day or night and even have it delivered to your door!! I really enjoyed my time there, in my own teensy weensy slice of manattan lol. It was expensive, even back then, it was like 1275/month and it was a studio with a loft bed, something like 450 square feet plus a nice balcony that had enough room for a cafe table and 2 small chairs.

If I had not married my prince, I'd still be there!!

Average is 950 - 1300$ for one bedroom !

seriously? i never found any below 2500ish.. maybe because i was looking for something near the subway and a small commute to midtown.
my husband and i started from scratch last year, we spent 2 months in a furnished rental and during that time found an apt and bought stuff.
you can google furnished rentals in nyc.
also try craiglist just dont pay anyone anything till u see the apt and a proper lease agreement.
