The only place out of manhatton i would suggest living is brooklyn
nice chill hip places in brooklyn are Downtown, Park Slope, Williamsburg, DUMBO, Cobble Hill, Carrol Gardens, parts of Bed Stuy and Red Hook (not the projects)!!
anywhere in manhatton is fine, however the village, soho, chelsea, the bowery, tribeca and the lower east side (LES) are what i consider the nicest parts of the city,
also for a bargain i would move to Harlem because its becoming vastly more gentrefied and is now a much safer neighborhood with lower prices then other parts of the city
(gotta love them brownstones!!)
