What is the best area of New York to live in??

Question

Like residential but still kinda close to Manhattan cause I'm gonna be going to work there but I don't want to live in the city?

Answer 1

manhattan upper east side. but its the most expensive too.

Answer 2

Try the outer boroughs like Brooklyn or Queens. There are very nice areas in both boroughs that are still close to the city and easy to commute from.

Examples -

Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Astoria, Queens

Long Island City, Queens

Answer 3

If you want to live close the city, but not in it - Astoria is a great area with lots of affordable apartments and great restaurants.

Going a little farther past that - the following are all nice neighborhoods with easy access to the city - Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, Sunnyside and Woodside.

If you choose Brooklyn - Williamsburg and Greenpoint are really close to the city, but recently the area has become over-run with hipsters and the rents have gone sky high.

You would be better off going towards Brooklyn Heights/Dumbo or even the Park Slope area.

Just make sure you don't find a place on the G train route - that is the slowest train in the whole city!
