| Hi i googled 'life in New York' as i am trying to find out what it's like actually living in this great city (i'm thinking of visiting this summer) and i bumped into your blog. It's a real eye opener and i'm happy to have found it cos i had no idea about any costs besides the cost of my ticket! hehehe. I'm a student schooling in Wales but I live in London and i always had the impression that London was buy far the most expensive town to live in most areas. But now that i have seen the cost of housing in New York i'm beginning to change my mind. I live in a flat in Bethnal Green, London and with my mum and she pays about £120/week. That should be about $260. Someons said that housing in Manhattan cost $3,000-$4,000 a year. Is that expensive, average or cheap for New York?? Can someone advice on which part i can stay cheaply for a period of one month or so and still be in a decent part of the city? Thankyou very much. |
