Date: May 10th, 2012 8:55 PM Author: Spectacular judgmental shrine Every other biglaw associate seems to be shelling out 2k or so. I have to live in the city obviously. 1.5k doable?
Does that limit me to shit places like financial district? |

With roommates you can live quite well in Brooklyn or Queens for less than a thousand a month.

Date: May 10th, 2012 9:49 PM Author: cordovan razzmatazz mad cow disease dingle berry If you are trying to live alone, absolutely not for $1500. Your apartment will actually be unlivable.
The best bet to get that price is to get 3-4 roommates, even 5 in some instances, and live in a giant apartment that takes up the entire floor of a brownstone. You can often get $1500 per person for a very nice situation since the rent comes out to $6000-7500 total. If you get the right people, this can be a great time and make living in nyc much more palatable. |
