Can Anyone Recommend A Safe, Not So Expensive Neighborhood In Queens?

[New Yorker]

Lisa, $1400 a month will get you a place in Rego Park no problem. Give it a look, it's nice, lots of shopping, Austin street is a stone's throw away with all the movie theatres and resturants, and it is convenient to Manhatten by subway.

Mord, I am looking to rent either a one bedroom or studio, and don't want to spend a lot of money. 

A studio you can get for aout 1 thousand 1 bedroom 1200 hundred to 1400 your in range my brother will be back from Fla on sunday he was shopping around lately so he knows all the prices

[newman]

Newman, I would like to move because I can't really afford the rent where I am now.  And the amount of money I'm paying is considered reasonable by Manhattan standards.

I've heard it's rediculous in Manhattan (unless you get a rent controlled apartment-for which you pay $20K bribe up-front).

What would 500 sq ft in Greenwich Village cost?

Your first born child and your soul if you're late with the payment.

Hey Mord where do you live?
I thought you're from Mid-West...

[mord]

You can take the A train but i think the areas you mentioned are much closer

[New Yorker]

I'm telling you Rego Park/Forest Hills is near ideal. 

[dhimmi_pride]

Thanks Dhimmi Pride, but I need someplace convenient to Manhattan, where I don't need a car. 

Oh okay. Why not think about Brooklyn then? Someplace like Williamsburg, Windsor Terrace, Midwood, Marine Park or Gravesend. All safe, fairly reasonable prices, don't need a car, and easy to get into the City.

Midwood's very Jewish, isn't it?

Yes Midwood is very Jewish, so is Borough Park right next to it. They have the biggest Hasidic and Orthodox populations outside of Israel. Williamsburg also has alot, mostly Satmars. Gravesend is mostly Italian, Russian and Sefardic Jews. Marine Park is mostly Irish and Italian but it borders Midwood and it has expanded into it in recent years and now has alot of Jews.

[Dan]

Forest Hills is the Sh*t, ecpecially for Bukharians. Soo many people their. Theirs many things going on, people hanging out, many Shuls, lectures and events. The mall in near, and resturants on 108 st too. But to buy a house is expensive. But their are many beauitiful Bukharain cribs their.

[Joe Gutfeld]

Maybe Bayside or the area that I live in, Woodside.

[Lisa]

Hmmm...Woodside is a possibility.  Is that near Sunnyside?  And how do the rents compare?  Is there any Jewish community there?  Do you like it?  Is it safe?  Are there any other subways besides the 7 train?  Please let me know.
