Chinatown in Manhattan got some pretty cheap rents, but don't expect your landlord to care about your heating/cooling needs. It's very practical, you're close to all the food joints and like 10-15 mins away from Union Square by bus or subway. My friend found rent for $1100 for two bedroom apartment, but like I said, don't expect service from your landlord.
You can take the Path train to 14th street, so just follow all the stops on it, like Journal Square, Groove Street, Pavonia and you can get to Union Square within 20 minutes one way. Also, those places should have cheaper rent compared to Mahattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. But if you still live in NJ, and work in NYC, you're pay check will get taxed by both states.
ur paycheck only gets taxed from the state u work in, then u have to pay the tax for the state u live in when u do ur returns... sucks the big one but most of the time u get part of what u paid to the work city back as a refund.
I was just reading about the whole living in NJ and working in NYC thing. It kind of sounded like I would really just pay NY tax and that the NJ tax would be almost nothing because the NY tax is at a higher rate. At any rate, it's something for my accountant to figure out, but it is good to know what to expect.
they'll take out NYS & NYC tax from ur paycheck, & u'll have to report that when u file ur NJ tax returns... make sure ur accountant is fully aware of this, but if u work in NYC it's less of an issue... when i was working in NJ & living in staten Island, a couple out of state accountants fugged up my tax return & forgot to report my NYC tax owed, so i ended up having to pay a big chunka cash after the IRS went hunting after my butt a couple months later asking where that money was.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
