Suburbs are fine, but also I don't want to be a mid twenties single dude not close to nightlife/things to do. $1200/mo budget for rent (seems to be about 30% of takehome?)
You said your rent budget is $1200? Easy to live in Queens or even Manhattan with a roommate at that price. You’re young and single, come here and live where you will have the time of your life. Plus, not owning a car saves you several hundred dollars every month.
I moved to Long Island City in Queens at the start of my time with Republic and I’ve loved every minute of it. A young single person would have to manage their time and energy wisely living here because there is never a time when you don’t have something to do.
