the EV is overrun by nyu students these days, and in the summer it's real bad. but you can def pick your spots, ave b + c are a bit better, than say 2nd ave which is really too crowded. there are still spots in the LES, east of ludlow, like suffolk, norfolk, attorney, etc.
chinatown is ok but my studio was there for 5 years and the chicken bones/snot rockets/general rotting garbage on the sidewalk gets old real quick.
i'm in the les but i've lived in c-town, west village and murray hill and i hated the hill, grew to dislike chinatown, tolerated the west village, and am comfortable now in the les - just be aware there have been a few shootings here the past couple years.
nolita is okay, but maybe a bit pricey still.
brokers take about 15% so if you have the time, then walk around and get owner phone #'s off of intercoms/tenant directories. craigslist is a great resource.
