Half or more of the houses on the first block of that street are crashpads. If I were you, I would check a couple of those out, they are average to above average for what you can expect for crashpads in this new adventure job of yours.

The first thing you need to do is grab a former commuter pilot in your class and have him help you put a bid in for something other than NYC. Shorter commutes on mainline jets are where you want to be based. You dont want multiple leg commutes.
Also,

Don't forget to take advantage of the mentor program. Flt Ops has been asking for volunteers to help all the new hires with all of these issues. If you haven't heard/don't know about this call Delta Alpa or talk to whoever your new hire rep is.

Welcome aboard to all and good luck!
