Cheapest apartment i can get in NYC?

[Fat Kevin]

Bruh you tripping on this one

Its plenty $ to be made in Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and aint nothing "backwater" about it

Damn near very person I've met from northeast has no real plans of going permanently back no matter how much they love back home

Im sure things are faster up there than all of the south but where have you been other than Carolina down here?

I've personally been to Atlanta, Memphis, Richmond, Charlotte, Raleigh and Nashville. I stayed in Atlanta for 3 weeks. I lived in Tennessee for 10 months. I only passed through VA/NC.

When I compare D.C. (where I'm at now) to Memphis/Nashville, its laughable The only benefit i can see about the South is its affordability. You can get a house with a good amount of land in a safe neighborhood, sit back and raise your kids, etc. If that's what you want, that's great. I don't want that though I need to be in a world city. A real urban environment. Culture. History. Endless shopping and dining. Endless nightlife options. Reliable public transportation (not LA though smh). Millions of other young people. Only a handful of cities offer that and none of them are in the South. Its either New York, LA, SF, DC or Chicago. But as I've said, it depends on what you want.

NYC is expensive but, its alot of opportunity up there. People try to make it sound like NYC is the hardest city on Earth to make it in but, compare it to some backwater ass town down south or in the midwest. There's nothing there for you. In NYC, if you have an ounce of hustle in your body, you should be able to meet people, make contacts, find opportunities and get whatever it is you want to do going. The tradeoff (being more expensive) is worth it to me. I'm in Washington, D.C. right now, which is sorta similar in that regard. A few weeks ago, i was thinking about going to North Carolina because the cost of living is so cheap down there (you can get a fukkin 4 bedroom house down Raleigh or Charlotte for like $800/month), then i woke up and asked myself why would i want to go to a slow ass place like that in the prime of my life If all goes well, I'll be in NYC in 6 months.


OP....I'd look into The Bronx. You can get a 1 bedroom for $1000-$1200. A 2 bedroom for $1300-$1500.


If you cool with roommates, you can always go that route too. Save some money. Plus, its an easy way to meet people in a new city.

+1 this............solid advice here
esp the part about roomies ..........its great when you fresh in the city

This is exactly why I won't leave NYC anytime soon if ever.

Yeah it's cheaper in the south, but I got a city job, so there is no point of me leaving. Plus majority of my family & all my friends are in the NY area. I couldn't imagine not being around them, my life would be miserable.

I'm from the south and don't wanna move there at all at this point. It looks too spread out. Cali tho

Comparing major cities in the Northeast to any city in Tennessee is status breh I didnt bring ANY of them up

But if you've ever been to Dallas, Houston and think Atlanta metro is then I respect your perception
