Have you been here? You need to come and explore for yourself, all part of the experience. Some of the ads on craigslist are legit some aren't. All of the brokers are slimey. And the whole experience of finding an apt in NY will probably leave you feeling cold inside. For the best deals look in Brooklyn, Harlem, Washington Heights, Queens, and Inwood. Good neighborhoods in Brooklyn are Williasmsburg, Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene, Greenpoint, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill. Although parts of Brooklyn are now as expensive as Manhattan but some prefer Brooklyn anyway because it has its own vibe. If you don't know NY very well I suggest getting a sublet for awhile so you can explore before committing to a 1-2 year lease.
