Move to NYC

Found a few apartments in Manhattan (midtown) through craigslist:

1. – 1 bedroom in a 4-bedroom apartment. Pros – Great location Cons – 1 shared bathroom with 4 guys (resembled a frat house bathroom), and the room was right across from the TV room (read: noise!)

2. – 1 bedroom in a 2 bedroom apartment. 1 guy lives in the living room (he’s a photographer who just moved here from Korea), and the other room is taken by a student from Korea. Not the best location though.

3. – Studio apartment. Great location – no kitchen though. This is my #1 choice so far. Rent is $1000/month inclusive of utilities, cable, internt, washer/dryer. There is also a backyard (thats a big plus being in Manhattan).

I’d go for #3, but my job requires me to stay in Arizona till March/April, so I’ll only move in after that.

It’s been 5 days since I decided to move to NYC. My buddy lives in Queens, and wants me to join him over there – I think I’ll be happier if I lived in the middle of all the action (read: Manhattan midtown/downtown). I’m going to start saving up for an apartment, sell the car, and move by April hopefully.

Oh btw, I live in Massachusetts if you’re wondering.
