I'd love to find a good price on apartments in new york, so i can live in the city and focus more on acting.

I live outside the city right now, and it's a pain sometimes, gets kind of discouraging.

Any good apartment finder magazines or websites? I tried apartments.com with no luck. Maybe i just have to go look up some places in the local papers.

RentNet.com - Online Rental Guide

They might have some available that you could be interested in.

Yep, one piece of advise I heard was to find the apartment listing on line at a site link Rent Net; then physically go to NYC and go to the rental office to get the best price. If they know you are from out of town and can't come for a visit, they may jack up the price... Just a thought.

meeting the manage rin person, will always get you lower price then a conversation over the phone.

Hey Jimmy, did you ever get that apartment?

How much do apartments in New york cost anyways? Maybe lofts might be cheaper? Like the one in friends, I imagine is probably like $1500.

There's a difference between living in New York, and New York City. I don't recommend anybody concerned about price to live in "the city". I recommend you live in Brooklyn. There are several areas of Brooklyn that are great for us actor type. Places like Carrol Gardens (where I live), Park Slope, and Williamsberg. For a nice one bedroom in these neighborhoods cost 1200-1600 (good for couples). Williamsberg is cheaper, however, the area is a little farther out and not so nice. You can get a two bedroom in Williamsberg for $1100. From all of these neighborhoods the train will take you into the city 30-45 minutes.

If you want to live IN the city (Manhattan) you will spend 1300-2200 for a closet. But hey...Brooklyn is the new Manhattan anyway...it's cool to be from Brooklyn.

Craigslist of course is one of the best places to start your search.
