I have a question - i am currently a freshman in college, and i know my future dwelling is far away, but i am going to live in NYC but i have NO idea which areas to avoid...
iwant a safe area - though i know that means i have to pay extra money...
i don't care if i live in 5x5 room as long as its in a safe neighbourhood...
as for location to work, i can always take the subway (i took it last time i was in NYC and it was sorta scary, but sorta exhilerating, haha)
What about the area of Far Rockaway, Jamaica, or Howard Beach???
they are in Queens County ~ isn't that a very safe county??

Jeff,
Queens/Brooklyn (aka the outlying areas) usually come up in the news here more often in connections with shootings, etc., etc. If I were you, I'd live in Manhattan - it tends to be a bit safer (due to the make up of the populus).

Re: Familiar W/ Nyc?/
yeah manhattan is pretty expensive, but nice...
hmm, i'll just have to browse around...
i know that some areas in queens and brooklynn are good, but you have to know which ones...
Bronx is the place to avoid (from what i see on the news)
hmm, thanks you two!
i just hope that i can find a cute little apt/condo that is in a safe area
but i love doing research, so this will be fun!
