single male, $160K, minimal debt (scholly)

office is near times square

don't mind having 1 or 2 chill roommates

don't want to pay a lot, don't care about going out a lot. just want a quiet place to sleep.

This is probably the best neighborhood in Manhattan. But it's also the priciest.

Try Queens right across the bridge from Manhattan. Make sure you live near a good subway line that takes you straight to work.

the only real answer is "as close to work as possible". Don't think about shopping or any of that other shit since you will pay premiums for all of that shit...everyone says they won't...and they end up doing so.

Those two Silverstein high rises on 42nd between 11th and 12th. BEAUTIFUL buildings, tons of hotties who live there, 180 amenities and you can walk to work in under 15 min.

Comparatively speaking, it's only recently been built up with places to live. It's sort of far out of the way from everything if you're not working on Wall St and yeah, the nightlife there isn't that great. But you're a subway away from the LES or whatever so it's nbd
