LGA Base

Texas lol. But I want to live in base. I'm interested in CMH, especially since it's become fairly JR. I don't want to be on reserve forever though.

I'd take reserve in a base that was affordable over stressing about affording 1500-2000/mo rent and holding a line.
Long Island is expensive and you need a car.
Queens is a dump and it is expensive, but you don't need a car.
NJ is expensive and a dump and you need a car and need to pay tolls to get to LaGarbage.
Having a roommate makes the cost of living easier but brings its own drawbacks.
32 years in NY. I came to this company for the LGA base and I chose to commute after a few years. Quality of life went up.
But if you insist on NY. I would choose not to have a car and live in Astoria. It's still expensive, but less of a dump and very close to LGA.

If you are based in LGA, I would advise you to get a room for rent near LGA close to Vaughn College of Aeronautics in East Elmhurst. It's literally walking distance to LGA. It's a safe neighborhood with plenty of food options on Astoria Boulevard. The neighborhood of Astoria is not bad either but way overpriced plus you will need to take a bus to LGA instead of just walking there. Hope this helps,

EWR
Similar question, but for EWR.
I`m originally from Tahiti, hence I`m a little anxious on the whole cramped-city living situation that LGA seems to display.
I`ve never been to NJ, but seems like I could get a decent place to rent not too far out from EWR, and can drive around without the hideous traffic.
Any suggestions on specific areas to look for ?
Thanks
