If you want to live without roommates (you have a family, or you just like living alone), you're probably paying more than 1,800/mo.

- Alex3917 8y ago1,800 will get you a nice 2BR if you're willing to accept a 45 min commute. Even in nicer neighborhoods, e.g. a 2BR in Riverdale is 2,000 - 2,400.
- dajohnson89 8y agoThe Riverdale is not manhattan...but yes you're correct.
- Alex3917 8y agoYeah it's basically the suburbs, but a 10 min walk from the subway. And within the last two years there are actually lots of good restaurants in the area now.

- NikolaeVarius 8y agoWell yes, if you don't want to make basic concessions, you have to pay more money. I find generally fiscal rationality trumps not having a roommate.

- closeparen 8y agoMiddle class professionals can normally afford their own places with ~30 minute commutes. If I need a roommate to make things work financially, I’m in the wrong job or the wrong city.
- Touche 8y agoBasic concessions like not having a family? People aren't 25 their entire life.
