Are you trying to get him killed or robbed? The heights would be a better option.

Bro don't stay in south side Bronx, lol you def see that. Try fordham or maybe even Riverdale area right nice & cozy out there.
Try looking for studios, instead of one bedroom apts. They should be a little cheaper, but it's still going to be tough finding a place for $500.
1 br apts in the ok side of bronx/brooklyn/qns is going to cost 950+
1 br apts in above ok side of bx/bk/qns is going to cost 1100+
studios in queens in above ok side of qns is going to cost about 800+
you can prolly find a studio in brownsville, south bx, or qb for about $500+ lol - i dont recommend this at all...
try places like sunnyside, forest hills, astoria...im not too familiar with bk and avoid the bx. It's too far from the city, unless you enjoy 30+ minutes in the subway with some unusual people
how much are you getting paid? Is $500 the max? try going up another 200-300$ and that should allow you find a place easier.
Thanks for info. Well if everything will be ok I'm going to work as a salesman, $10/hour befores taxes, but employeer promises only 30hours/week. Of course it i have a chance and still enough energy I'll look for a second job. Yeah I'd go extra 200-300, but still I'l have to pay for transport ($120/month for metro if I heard correctly, although I'l try for cheaper solution) and also food, going out to a bar or smh or buying goods.

naw listen, 500$ is really hard to come by. I mean HARD. If you come with roomates, your be iight. But If your working in the city, you can try looking around Harlem, The Heights, Fordham, even BK. There all close to the city where if you work late your be iight. Getting a pt time job will be easy. Especially in the food business. The city will pay you ok. pt about 100$-150$ a week sounds about right. But hit your NY NTer's up when you get here. Show you around
looks like you will be making about $1050-1100. If you spend $700 on rent, you will have about $400 to spend. Take another $110 for unlimited metrocard and maybe another $40 just in case you need to take the cab or other transportation. You will have about $250 to spend freely on food and going out. Theres a lot of cheap affordable places to eat in the city, or better yet...just cook at home. Most bars charge about $7 a beer and clubs have $20+ cover fee and their drinks are more expensive.Originally Posted by Intrigant

Just ask your parents to give you $1000 as pocket money and you should be fine!

There are several nice neighborhoods in the Bronx, despite popular conception. Riverdale, Woodlawn, Pelham Bay, Country Club, Belmont etc. But they're still not especially affordable. Your best bet is to sublet a room my man.

Theres not a studio in the whole city that is available for $500. Cheapest are probably around $700 where youll be living in a open sewer environment. You'll have to find roommates and rent a room, you should be able to find a place for $500, but it will be very small, far from any train, and probably in a boring area of the city. If you were to up your budget a bit to $700 you'll have a lot more options and could probably find a nice place in a somewhat desirable area on Brooklyn or Queens. From my experience, if you're really committed you should be able to find a job within a week or two, easily making $100-200/week

Brownsville, East NY, Crown Heights and the whole South Bronx are great places with affordable rent.

Also about sneakers. Are there any sneaker outlet stores in NY? Because I'm right, taxes in NY are biggest in US, so getting new sneakers will be quite expensive?

valentine ave is like the late 80's early 90's
