Manhattan Real Estate

Check out realtor.com and look at rentals. There are a thousand places to look at on the web. Also check the New York Times Classified.

I've browsed many sites. I was just curious if anyone in the know, could give me some insight.

UES is mostly rental companies and lots of luck. Don't go above 96 street on the east side either because the neighborhood is still rough.

Best bet is to get a room mate and split the rent. You can afford alot more then.

I've considered getting a roommate, but then you're relegated to 1 bed converted 2's and they aren't that much cheaper. The only real benefit is splitting the bills.

Hey Real, i'm sorry to say that it's almost impossible to find an apartment for $1200. Alot of people think that's some kind of cheap sales tactic that's used but it's really not. You're gonna have to go above 96th st to find prices like that. I mean, there are places out there for 1200 but it's literally gonna be about 250 sq ft. The best bet is to look in queens such as Astoria or Jackson Heights. Rent it while it's cheap because this summer is gonna be brutal for renters! An avg studio start at about $1500 and that's pretty much bare bottom. Hope this has helped in some way.

Only wish I bought EVERY apartment I looked at over the years.

Moved out of Manhattan in 2000, and couldnt come back now if I wanted too.
