Apartment Hunting Soon..

[Reefer420]

So I will be moving out in the 2nd week in Feb - ideally to the upper east side. Anyone know anything opening up? I am looking for a one bedroom w/ a good sized bedroom, or a very large alcove studio. We are looking to spend around $2k/month.

Doorman would be nice, but cheap is better. Walk up OK- though my fiancee says she needs to have laundry in the building... oh, and unless it is really cheap we need a decent sized kitchen...

Anyone on here subletting or know of someone subletting starting Feb?

We would like to stay there at least 2 years, hopefully 3 - I hate to move!

If you are in a rent controlled building and need to sublet LMK ASAP

Almost had a huge one bedroom for like $1200/month- but the owner was only leaving for 6 months

Remember- Feb.! I will bump this periodically :shhh:

Stay Below 96 Street.

Stay Below 96 Street.

What's wrong with above 96th? Is not too bad for the price I actually think it's a great deal, rent is cheap, food shopping is cheap, you can buy more coral with the savings and it's less than 5 minutes train from 86th.

Reefer, consider above E 110th if you want to save some $$, in the end you don't live in the street, after you close the door behind you and look at your tank you will be fine There are many new building around here just finished to rennovate, I guess most of them with lundromat in the building, you might find a good 1BR for $2K maybe even 2 BR.
And keep an eye on craig list!!

Good luck

zaza I just don't want to have to pick up anymore of my friends and either take reports for them, send them to the hospital, and or send them to the morgue. 112 and 3rd we were chasing 3 guys with guns last nite that were shooting at a few other guys who also returned fire with a gun. 100 st and 2nd ave we had a guy robbed and they beat him so much they broke his nose and his cheek bone, do you know how much force it takes to break someones cheek bone? We hear gun shots all nite while out on patrol and respond to some of the most f'ed up 911 calls that you can imagine. The 2 examples are just last nite, in the last 8 years I have seen some really messed up stuff working in the neighborhood on a daily basis. Did you know that the mexican gangs run all of those "cheap" stores on 116 and 117 street, 114 st and 1st ave is Latin king territory, and the bloods and crips runn the projects from 112 to 115 from 1st ave to 5th ave. Yes the neighborhood is up and comming. But like a wise man once said, it is better to be a settler than a pioneer, the pioneers were scalped. I don't know how long you have lived where you have lived, but I can speak from fact having worked all shifts in that neighborhood, and working in the 23rd precinct as well as backing up the guys from the 25th and 28th precinct that the neighborhood is not a "tame" or "safe neighborhood.

ummm- yeah I want to stay in Manhattan and BELOW 92nd street :theyareon I am not up for being 'yuppie hunted' (actual article I read by the post a few months back :teeth and wouldn't want my fiancee to be around a bad area.

If I were to move out of Manhattan it will be to the burbs, so won't be going elsewhere in the city.

Thanks guys!

You got one in Brooklyn??? Where?

Hmm Brooklyn a posibility?

 

[zaza]

lol, you sound just like a good friend of mine, he's a NYPD detective, now working for the anti-terrorist unit, but was on the street for long time, and he keeps telling me not to go to 116th and Lenox to take the train cause a cop was killed in the mosque (it happen over 10 years ago). I still go to take the train if I need to...:shhh: but he doesn't know

At what time of night are those robbering and shooting going on? I am completely unaware of those gangsters bulling in my area

Reefer: this post is not too pertinent, but at least the thread is :bump:

Zaza in a 24 hour period most starts around 3 pm when school gets out and goes thu to 5 or 6 in the morn. But we do have many incidents during the "daytime" hours. Your friend is right, but this is comming from not a street cop but a street cop that works in your neighborhood.

As Reefer420 has a girl to consider, I would play it safe. I used to live in a neighborhood where I didn't feel safe going out by myself after dark. I was a complete prisoner in my own apartment and it totally sucked!!!

 

[DonCisco]

We all keep telling you Leslie... both you and hubby live in such an edgy neighborhood

 

[Reefer420]

OK- it is getting close to zero hour now...moving out Feb 3rd !!!

We are looking into highrises now- basically just walking in... but if we could find a nice one bedroom that someone is subletting that would be great!

Again - upper east side, 90th or below, one bedroom, laundry in building. Looking for something at least 600sq feet.

Let me know of anything if you guys know of something. Thanks!
