Neighbourhood Advice
New to this forum, so intrigued to see what comes out.
I am considering re-locating to NYC next year and would appreciate some sensible advice on where to look for accommodation.
In brief, I will be based in Midtown and will bring with me a wife and two children (one aged 3 and one baby of 6 months). My key criteria at this stage are as follows:
- sensible commute to the office i.e. no more than 45mins
- family friendly locale with good stuff for kinds that is walkable (e.g. parks)
- nice community feel (we live in Richmond, London at present)
- rent is flexible, but I had in mind around $4,000 per month
I guess Manhattan is not viable, so I was thinking some bits of Brooklyn or maybe north, coming into Grand Central (Scarsdale, White Plains etc.)
Kind regards

Re: Neighbourhood Advice
Check out Craig's List. You should be able to get a 2 or even a 3 bed in a decent area of Manhattan for 4,000 dollars. Prices are lower than they were a year ago.
