I live in the neighborhood of Washington Heights in Manhattan, and I must say, I have been enjoying it here so far. While it's not the best neighborhood I have lived in, it's an interesting place that is totally underrated. I want to share with my readers some pictures of the place that I call home.
Some of these pictures were taken during the winter, but they show some of the neighborhood. This is where I have lived for almost a year now (I did not live in campus housing). Before I lived here, I was in Kew Gardens.
Keep in mind that I pay $1,150 a month for this place. I do not need anything more fancy. For those who say that you need to pay $2000-3000 to have a decent place in New York, I say: that is not correct. I have been in many fine apartments in the city that are around $1000 a month. If you are struggling as a lawyer, you should be looking at places that are well under $1500 a month. If you are single, you should strongly consider living with a room mate.
Home is, largely, what you make of it. You have live well almost anywhere, provided that you want to.
And, the apartment itself:
I hope you enjoyed the tour of the place that I call home. It's not the fanciest place in the world, but it's inexpensive (especially for Manhattan) and it is a nice place to live. And, as always, comments are totally welcome.
