wait. Are you asking because...

you will soon learn that apartment and location of it are everything in NY

so it sounds like 100k is consider as low income in NYC?
- not really, no. living right in manhattan is just generally expensive. i'm making ~60k and living comfortablymcmillions

Average rent in Manhattan is around $2200. This is for something around 350-400 sqf.
Factor in the building with door man or no door man. Walk up or elevator. Located close to subway or in the neighborhood of fun.
- damm maybe i just get a parttime job as door man after work.nyc939
- my friends rent in astoria is $1400, my rent in ridgewood is $1000 (though should be $1200). Both places are 18 min from Union Sq.pr2

you are a fool to get apt in a building with a doorman - as most doormen are assholes only making your life miserable.
you are a fool to overspend by living in Manhattan when you have so many great neighborhoods all around.

I like my door man because I dont have to go to the post office and pick up packages.
