Where can I live in New York that's at least kinda safe yet affordable ?

Question

I'm from Europe and I'd rather live in New York.Actually I'm planning to move next year when i'll be 21.I'm looking for a safe neighborhood with good people.I'd like to live in Williamsburg but I don't know how expensive is.I don't mind sharing the apt.but i've been told NYC is not really safe by the night and stuff.

Answer 1

Just stay in Europe, for our sake.  The only reason you should live in NYC is if you're originally from here, and you're not.

Answer 2

new york and affordable shouldnt be in the same sentence  

Answer 3

that's not true. every neighborhood has its own problem. anyway u want a safe area with affordable rent. um since you said Williamsburg,brooklyn u should check out Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park, Park Slope and Bedsty is changing and isn't that bad anymore. As for the night life, if you dont start, there wont be nothing.
