Moving to New York City?
I have no idea where to start! I am planning a two-week trip to NYC for interviews and apartment hunting. I’ll be staying with a college acquaintance (she lives in Hoboken, New Jersey).
Mk, so first- flying in. I’m from Ohio, and I’m guessing I fly into JFK? Are there other airports with better deals on flights, or that I might want to avoid like the plague?
As for apartment hunting.. my job will be with magazine publishing companies such as Conde Nast and Hearst, so I would like to be in an affordable area (meaning rent $1000 a month or less) where I can get to these places without too much trouble. Any ideas? I will probably utilize Craigslist, but what other ways are there to find good apartments?
I think that might be all.. any other general tips? I really appreciate ANY help:D It’s pretty daunting!
I guess I should have mentioned I’m 22, and a roommate would be ideal:D
Someone else already mentioned flying into newark instead of JFK, since that’s closer to hoboken.
As far as rent, if you don’t need to be in manhattan you should be able to find something in a nice area – especially if you don’t mind having a roommate. I don’t know much about hoboken, although that might be an option, but certainly there are nice areas in Brooklyn and queens where you can share a nice apartment, with your own room, for 1000 a month, or less.
