all five apartments in my building *together* rent for less than this. and heat's included. -- nm - amanda Sep 7, 12:30
You can get some very, very nice apartments in NYC for that price. Those are just some of the most expensive neigborhoods. I'd be living like a king - Krusty Sep 7, 12:22 9
- Yeah, these types of lists basically always look only at Manhattan and (maybe) Western Brooklyn. -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:24 2
  - which makes sense, as it's targeted at people who are in the market to spend that much on an apartment in the first place - znufrii Sep 7, 12:26
  - They really should include Astoria. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:25
- believe you can find a lot cheaper apartments in Clinton Hill than that one, it's not really that expensive a neighborhood at all -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:24
- this is true. In Windsor Terrace you'd get a killer place. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:24

  - Sorry. I take pleasure in ruining things for everyone. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 12:31 2

      - Heh. :-) I'm worried that no matter what he doesn't get fired. He only has one year left. I can see them keeping him and just - Krusty Sep 7, 12:37
I'll take the Clinton Hill, followed by Williamsburg. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:22 15
- If I had to choose I'd take the East Harlem one followed by the Williamsburg(yuck( and then Clinton Hill. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 12:25
- that side of Clinton Hill is a nice neighborhood, but annoyingly far from the train. -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:23 13
  - Good. Trains are noisy. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 12:25 10
    - That's like the least of the noise. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:29 6
      - yeah, nothing compared to the crack whores fighting outside your window at 3am. -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:31 5
        
        Can't say I'm familiar with Clinton Hill. :) Where I lived it was mostly car alarms in the middle of the night. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:32 4
        
        to be fair, the crack whores weere when I lived on the other side of Clinton Hill, off of Fulton St. - znufrii Sep 7, 12:35 3
        
        When I lived in Long Island City, local smack addicts (I think) stole just the rubber of my windshield wipers a few times. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:37
        
        "local color" -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:35 1
        
        yeah - znufrii Sep 7, 12:37
    - They are (probably) below ground in that area still. -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:29 2
      - it's north of Prospect Park, so for sure underground. I think the BQ Expressway would be a bigger problem. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:31
      - they are, but even then they can be noisy.... -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:30
  - In my fantasies I don't have a 9-5 job. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:24 1
    - then you're golden :) -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:25
1 Bedroom? -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 12:18 1
- Some 1BR, some 2BR, one 3BR (in East Harlem) and loft in Williamsburg -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:20
sounds about right -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 12:14
*shakes head* - oblique Sep 7, 12:10 19
- *shakes head* - Spawn Sep 7, 12:12 3
  - there really should be a fee for living that close to Remlik -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 12:14 2
    - Eh, he is about 40 minutes away, so the bump is probably equal to what you get for groiny. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 12:17
    - for everyone else, it's 6X the cost. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:15

    - *ding* -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 12:28
  - this is why people in NY make higher salaries on average. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:16 4
    - [deleted] 1
      - oh sure, people def pay more for housing. Location is everything. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 12:23
    - this is why cost of living should be factored into taxes. -- nm - CQ Sep 7, 12:20 1
      - [deleted]
  - Exactly 4x mine. -- nm - Spawn Sep 7, 12:13
  - Yeah, over three times my monthly payments which include mortgage, escrow, and HOA dues -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:12
  - Thrice mine! -- nm - spamlet Sep 7, 12:12
  - with taxes and everything -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 12:11 1
    - [deleted]
- Dude, I want a $1700 house! -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 12:10 1
  - (ouch, I can't divide by two today) - ty97 Sep 7, 12:11
