Hey Evita!

1) In terms of borough locations, I’d say anywhere but Staten Island (no subways, 20 minute ferry ride to and from Manhattan). Also, considering your job is in lower Manhattan, I’d stay away from the Bronx as well. However, if you find a decently priced place close to an express train, it might be worth it.

1) Def Brooklyn, Manhattan or Queens. Forest Hills in Queens and Park Slope and Williamsburg in BK are great spots.

2. I found mine through a friend, who found it through a broker. I’ve found…[Read more]

1) Brooklyn: Fort Greene/Clinton Hill and Prospect Heights are very in now. Crown Heights is right next door, not as ‘safe’ but much, much cheaper, and is a pretty vibrant neighbourhood.
2) Hmm, not sure if this answer is too late but you can try the Listings Project. It has a focus on creative types (so, lots of art studios listed) but each place…[Read more]
