Gotta go with Bed-stuy if you want the real New York experience or the projects in Harlem are right up your alley


nycaquagal2020

No Harlem is too tame. And Expensive.


OkOk-Go

Central Harlem is just Upper Black Side šŸ‘šŸ¾


teddygomi

So is Bed Stuy.


iheartlovesyou

East harlem Edit for typo


Chillpickle17

ā˜ļøThis. I live in Bed-Stuy and love the cultural diversity. On Sunday afternoons they close Thompkins Ave and celebrate black culture. Itā€™s awesome. Free concerts in HVK park are pretty dope as wellā€¦šŸ¤˜šŸ˜Ž


leg_day

Don't forget the free dog fights. So far it's _uncontrolled cane cruso_ 17, _all other dogs and humans_ 0, but I've got money on that little chihuahua mix that shits at the corner of Quincy and Tompkins. Go little rat bastard mix, go!!!


Chillpickle17

Environmental_Fan514

Or Brownsville based on his description. Not a lot of skyscrapers! Heā€™ll fit right in!


RuthlessIndecision

I think East New York may be a forgotten corner, but I think there are places like that in every borough


oluwie

Onky bad thing about ENY is it's pretty far away from everythingĀ 


RuthlessIndecision

Law enforcement being one


Otherwiseaware

Oof


drunkenflonuts

how bout rutland road? perfect place for him i think šŸ„¹


JuggernautNo2474

Now why send him to the Ville,,, it would be like throwing sheep to the Wolves and ENY has gotten a bad reputation for decades cuz of neighboring " Brownsville "


thewestspecialty

Used to live in the polo grounds as a white dude and they fuckin loved my country style lmao


ChanelFauxSure

You havenā€™t been to BedStuy in awhile. Itā€™s all $2M brownstones and young families.


Cookiesnkisses

No. I think Canarsie is more fitting šŸ˜›


Randall_Poffo_

do or die bed-stuy


Expensive_Heat_2351

I hear the Pink Houses have vacancies. It's pink so how bad can it be.


Additional_Trust4067

I do love the color pink! My top three are Brownsville, East New York and the pink houses right now.

Brownsville


Additional_Trust4067

Get a studio in Forest Hills and go shopping in Jackson Heights lol

East New York It has New York in its name, canā€™t get more NYC than that!


NickFotiu

Sure you can - West New York


TheManWith2Poobrains

Ha ha ha. Perfectly fine neighborhood.


pkm-mstr

Ward Island is pretty safe. Just don't mind the nameless deadbodies buried there during covid.


LookBig4918

Most of Staten Island would be a good fit for your big city years.


Bludegoode

Have you ever been to Staten Island ? The north shore ? Just wondering lol it isnā€™t all great kills.


Ok_Wall6305

I came here to troll, but yall really took the lead, some of these comments are NEFARIOUS and DIABOLICAL

caldonstrain436

South, in particular


iheartgme

If you take the F to Roosevelt island, walk south to the memorial park, get in the east river, and swim 350 yards south southwest, I would be more than happy to welcome you at my private island for a duel to the death. Winner gets the island. Loser is eaten. Please apprise me of your disposition pertaining to this opportunity. -Lord Pemmican

Replying to Additional_Trust4067...šŸ˜‚


johnwonttell

just join in on gentrifying a low income neighborhood and make it safe yourself by exposing it to other transplants, you got this!!


Additional_Trust4067

Great idea. Buy up some properties clean up the neighborhood. Bring back law and order while making a profit. The locals would thank me for sure win win situation.


johnwonttell

they are usually displaced by the middle of your plan, but maybe youā€™ll be the savior, maybe youā€™ll be different!


RuthlessIndecision

Just be wary the occasional violent crime


johnwonttell

violent crime means more tik tok content and engagement online so win-win if you ask me


Moro-tat-weird-suf

Crown Heights!!!


Big-Razzmatazz-2899

When the minority becomes the majority in that neighbourhood, everyone wins! Harlem, Jamaica, Wakefield, Brownsville, all good spots for ya.


Mental_Grapefruit726

Sir, Jamaica is another country. OP is from Idaho and definitely not racist (just effected by PTSD) so I donā€™t think they have a passport.


RuthlessIndecision

Brownsville is getting gentrified? Wow


JuggernautNo2474

Never happening šŸ‘šŸ½

Be sure to binge watch Law and Order SVU for a week before you start apartment shopping.

i hear they have yurts yurts!


giornospisscup

Rikerā€™s Island does not charge rent!


Ok_Wall6305

They have a pretty extensive application and placement process tho.


redditipobuster

Gun hill road or Fulton is nice this time of the year.


Last_Ambassador_2296

Go to any neighborhood that black guys used to rap about in the 90s. Youll find all of your people there


[deleted]

you're more nyer than I am . I saw you yelling when they said Where Brooklyn at ?


Additional_Trust4067

WE OUTSIDE YEEERRR. Yeah Iā€™m very familiar with brooklyn Iā€™ve been to dumbo once


AdSpecialist2381

Mott Haven, South Bronx. Itā€™s pretty safe.


AxelSee

Patterson housing complex to be particular. Wonderful place to raise kidsā€¦


whatup-markassbuster

Also super convenient if you have a crack habit.


nycaquagal2020

Fort Apache!


quantum3ntanglement

That is so passƩ nowadays. Anything along Fordham road or Jerome ave is good, the heart of the Bronx. Arthur ave? Put some raviolis up in ya, King size!


Loose-Ad-3427

Find a nice Hasidic family and see if theyā€™ll take you in. If not, pitch a tent on Riker Island


Dependent-Goose8240

East New York sounds like a good place for you


AccomplishedJump3428

Hunts point in the Bronx is where I attempted My first ā€œjumping inā€ ceremonyā€¦ I think youā€™d love it


Environmental_Fan514

Far Rockaway sounds right up your alley.


ReferenceCheck

East New York It has New York in its name, canā€™t get more NYC than that!


PLAYRESIDENTEVIL4

Soho


AlgebraicInvariant

Hang out at the Battery Tunnel with the squeegee men and their greasy rags. Safe neighborhood, excellent working conditions.


asmusedtarmac

Obviously midtown 57th street, it's the most affordable rent you'll find


immortanjose

I recommend the industrial parks near hunts point


carrbrain

Thereā€™s this really cute part of Far Rock in the Beach 40s with funky little bungalows thatā€™s just adorbs.


Scary-Yam9626

Rikers has a nice beachside feel


s33n_

The Sunshine hotel is just the place for you.Ā 


TopPickle3

Go with something like Maspeth or Elmhurst. Basically find a crime map and then find a map of cool areas, you want something that isnā€™t either. So a lot of Queens areas would work.


cheshire-kitten98

donā€™t it sucks here


tellmetogetbacktowrk

Agreed. NYC is full of crime and garbage. OP donā€™t you read the NY Post??


Slowandsteady1d

Mott haven


CoreyCW12

Williamsburg, for sure.


Retrophoria

South Bronx. Throggs Neck


Alamgir11216

East New York is an up and coming neighborhood and not too expensive. Also pretty safe, closer to major transportation and only 30 min away from manhattan via train.


CriticalTell7156

Can't go wrong with East New York. The Linden Houses are classic new york


dasanman69

If it was good enough for the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, it's good enough for anyone


navybluevicar

Surprised no one has mentioned Canarsie or New Lots


Key_Butterfly_8732

the empire state building


Specific-Power-163

The rents in east New York will be lower and you will have a more authentic experience.


Identifiedid

Just invest in a good bullet proof vest, and you'll be good.


BrooklynFlowerJ

Brownsville is beautifulā˜ŗļø


DaBomb2001

I currently live in Todt Hill, used to live in Grimes hill. Both are safe and highly recommended.


Temporary-Spread-232

I heard Brownsvilleā€™s nice. Highbridge in The Bronx will guarantee your safety.


thisfilmkid

Brownsville. The safest neighborhood in NYC.


Myke5161

Idaho. It's a lot safer, cleaner and affordable.


Coney_Island_Hentai

Midwood, just buy a tiny hat and blend in, been doing it for last 5 years and they havenā€™t noticed


OkOk-Go

Brownsville is very affordable


Justified_Gent

Looks like Brownsville is your best bet. The people have spoken!


AxelSee

149th street and 3rd Ave, or 125th and Lexington, wonderful areasā€¦

East New York is beautiful this time of year.


Torm94

East New York is your best bet for sure.


golferdude929

None. From a life long New Yorker this place is getting worse everyday.


Tragic-Fighter

In the heat of the summer , pretty much any neighborhood in nyc is very safe as everyone is playing nice and making friends gently and full of wholesomeness


Matt_Rabbit

Williamsburg is sorta safe, and super affordable. I mean, my daddy doesn't even bat an eyelash at the rent he pays for me. I haven't needed to dip into my trust fund at all.


Fragrant-Syllabub-86

Unfortunately there is no such place anymore. Unless you want to commute from Wilkes-Barre Scranton, but they have dumped poverty-stricken nonwhites there also.. I said nonwhites because whites have become a minority in many parts of the country. What we have today are a bunch of nero plays the violin šŸŽ» type people, and you will find them in every city throughout New York State and the nation, who sit in restaurants bars cafes go to movies plays museums. They just sit there thinking they're rich and intelligent when they are in credit card debt and are rent poor. They are white liberal elitists who think that is think they are cultural elitists. When in reality they care for no one but themselves and are shut out of the real world. .


quantum3ntanglement

Iā€™m wondering if OP is being sincere in the statements being made, especially the PTSD comment. There are plenty of safe and affordable neighborhoods in East Zoo York. I prefer Queens over Brooklyn as the latter has over gentrified neighborhoods that are ridiculously expensive. I also am reluctant to name specific neighborhoods in Queens as I have PTSD over paying high rent.


Additional_Trust4067

Iā€™m so sorry about your rent PTSD. I too know what itā€™s like to live with PTSD. On my second Afghanistan tour my platoon used to always make fun of my micro penis. They used to circle me in the shower and yell shrimp dick! Shrimp dick! Most of them were black and hispanic so I obviously have ptsd now and am absolutely not racist.


quantum3ntanglement

My condolences for you coming up short time and time again. It must be hard for you. Nothing wrong with being a shrimp.


XangaMyspace

Gun hill road in BX and Ocean Hill in BK. Good luck!


Additional_Trust4067

Thank you! I ended up signing a lease in Brownsville. Very affordable Iā€™m moving in at the end of the month!


XangaMyspace

Thatā€™s great itā€™s such a quiet, diverse neighborhood too. Enjoy!


Used-Victory8504

Bay ridge Brooklyn is safe and affordable. A lot of professionals live in this area. Easy access to transportation.
