You should look in NJ (specifically Union City, Jersey City, West New York). I live in Weehawken and spent all my energy looking (for months) in NYC. After living in Astoria (amazing neighborhood) for two and a half years, I decided I wanted more space. Benefits of living in NJ are: 1) More space 2) Cheaper rent 3) Nicer apartment for the money 4) No NYC residents tax (anywhere from 2-7% depending on income level)
