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.
I always thought it would be awesome to live in NYC. Any suggestions on finding roommates? Never had to look for roommates outside of my friend group before.
Do you find NYC affordable? I simply threw out the $1200 number because that appears to be roughly 30% take home FO pay. Might need to work more to make that 30%, but that doesn't matter to me.
