how much should i be looking to spend..

for an apartment?

fh and i have never lived anywhere other than home

were looking for a 1-2 bedroom in parts of queens that border the cross island/grand central

im hopeless with this stuff

you gotta feel things out and compare prices for what youre looking for and where. different areas/basement/walkups/all inclusive/# of bedrooms/etc will affect prices. your best bet is to check on craigslist and just start going to check places out. be prepared to shop around though...
good luck so exciting!!!

Depending on the area you maybe find something for around $1800 and up

---

for a 1 bedroom even? really?

You can definitely find something for under $1800 to rent. I am FMing you some examples of pricing I've come across...

Oh wow!! FH and I are looking at 2 bedroom apts. in Suffolk and are going to be spending $1700. My mom actually has a condo she's renting out for $1600 in Suffolk but it wasn't close enough to work for me. If anyone is interested let me know.

1300 near queens?!!? where>??

---

anywhere i guess... you just have to look around...

To give you an idea:

We rent in a complex with a large 2 bedroom/1 bath for $1 300, plus cable and lipa which runs an addition $270. So, $1570 total. We could have gotten something for less $$ but it was important for us to live in a complex as opposed to someone's basement because we were afraid of getting a crappy landlord and we like to have people over, also FH can't fit in basement apartments.

Its all relative, but I personally can't stand people who try to rent an apartment to cover their mortgage; I saw one apt. being advertised as a 'large motel room' with no kitchen for $1k plus utilities

It all depends on what you want, what you have to have or can sacrifice and where you want to live

You have FM Kristina!!

We live in Queens *rego park/forest hills border) for $1300 a month. 1 bedroom. We got a good deal. A lot of places I saw were $1500.

I know people who live in bayside 1 bedroom for $1700, but I know people who live in FreshMeadows for $1500 3 bedroom.

Look on craigslist to get ideas. I got all my apt through that.

My friend has an awesome 2 bedroom in Floral park...very close to queens for like $1250.

I live in Queens for $1300 not including utlities. It's possible

We used to be in a one bedroom in Elmont (on the Franklin Square side) in someone's home for $1300 - utilities included.

I doubt you'll find anything for less than $1300
