If you know of a 1 bedroom apartment in Astoria (Queens) or in a nice and quiet neighborhood in Brooklyn, please let me know. Better if close to a subway station, shops and restaurants. I am not interested in paying a broker's fee (I find it unreasonable to pay $800+ for someone to find an apartment. I will consider it if it is a reasonable fee). Looking to move Nov. 15 or December 1rst, but will consider January 1rst as well. Thank you in advance!
I sent an email to a friend I used to work with when I lived in NY. He lives in Astoria and has lots of connections. Let's see what he has to say, and if those connections are real estate now types.
I have moved 4 times in 5 years because of circumstance and you have to pay somebody sometime in this town. If you have the luxury of waiting then you can try http://newyork.craigslist.org/ but the scams are out there and will waste your free time valued at $200/hour. So it depends on how much you value your time in the freezing cold. Been there, done that. I finally bought a place. And yes the broker got their commission one way or another.
I live in Park Slope in Brooklyn, close to transportation (R train), losts of restaurants, lounges, and shops. I know there's a building on 4th Ave (half a block from the train station) and they have apts for rent. I don't know how much or their number but I thought you might be interested.
