Move from Westchester to NYC

togmaster · Nov 9, 2017

Sorry to hear about your situation. Wish you the best.

I thought NYC rental prices were about the same if not worse than Westchester’s?

Marine Cpl · Nov 9, 2017

What are you looking at? Manhattan or the outer boroughs? Manhattan costs the same as good parts of Westchester. The outer boroughs cost about the same as places in Westchester like Yonkers.

Definitely try looking into Yonkers area, even MT. Vernon. As for rifles in NYC they require a permit. It sounded like pretty much the same process. I don’t know if they inspect after a certain number of firearms.

@WP_Plinker your jumping from the pot to the fire

hope all works out for you :rock:

while you're at it make a run for mayor :beer:

In NYC (manhattan, Bx, Queens, Bklyn, S.I.) you need a long gun/ shotgun permit (one permit) to posses/own either in NYC. fill out application, finger print, background check, etc. Renewal every couple of years.
You can apply at 1PP or Queens.

I would look to rent somewhere else, but I know it's depends on your finances and job. So, good luck.

Look up in Putnam rent in NYC isn't gonna be any cheaper then Westchester. Whats your price range I work for various landlords ill ask around.

Marine Cpl · Nov 10, 2017

NYC in Manhattan is expensive. Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx is also expensive in the good areas of those boroughs. If you are looking for cheaper, you'll be stuck with the ghettos in those outerboroughs.

For the same price in the ghettos of those outerboroughs, you could live in Port Chester CT or the lower parts of Westchester as it was mentioned above. Even Jersey. All those places have rail and buses to NYC.

I wouldn't under any circumstances choose an outerborough of NYC. You will be gaining absolutely nothing.

reinhardt · Nov 10, 2017

I assume you work in Manhattan. If you live in any of the suburbs don't forget to factor in your monthly MNRR or LIRR commuting costs. If you do not work within walking distance of Penn Station or Grand Central, you have the cost of subways also. Then there is the time lost by commuting which is incalculable.
Just trying to help you.

Thank you for the kind words and advice everyone. Sadly life is hard when you're young (I'm 24) and living around here. Right now, my budget for rent (excluding utilities, is around $1200. And even that is pushing it. Sadly every place around here in my price range seems to be only allowing for females to rent, or for single occupancy (I'm moving in with my soon to be fiancé). Crazy when a couple with 3 jobs between them can barely get a place to live (after factoring in other expenses like insurance, gas, etc etc

where are your current jobs located, in westchester? I'd suggest heading north rather than south if that's the case. If you work in manhattan though looking for an apt in nassau isn't too bad of an idea, except bullet guy will hate your guts but that's ok.

$1200 isn’t going to get you anything in the city. Studios here where I live in Staten Island are nearly that much.

I dont know your situation but perhaps this is an option. I know that some of these listings through home path are only 3 percent down of you can get a mortgage you can buy a place cheaper then renting . just an example here apartment in my kisco 84k .

Trust me. Even if you were to find something at 1200 in the Bronx for example, it would be in one of the worst ghettos.

Keep looking in Westchester or go further up. Consider a studio. Those go for about 1200. The worst place in Westchester is better than the Bronx and I'm not talking gun laws. I'm talking about safety. If much rather live in a studio in a decent area than in a 2 bedroom in the hood.

Look on Zillow.com. There are plenty of studios in the $1200 range in the Yonkers, Fleetwood, and the Bronxville areas in Westchester.

Can't you just tell them you identify as a female? Seems to work well in this state. Hoping for the best for you sir.
