Queens is a great place for singles to live. First of all, the rents are cheaper than in Manhattan, there is less congestion, must apartment houses have garages and it is no more than about a half hour to Manhattan, with times being less the closer you are to the river.
One thing to do when looking for an apartment is to take in the overall picture. You have to look at what your total budget will be for a month. Then see what each apartment building offers such as utilities included, if they are then you can go for a higher rent. And the extras. For instance if you like to go to a health club and the apartment building has one, then you won’t have the extra cost of joining one. Be sure to ask questions. For a single person, the most popular are the studios and one bedroom. There is another thing to take into consideration, and that is a roommate. If you take a look at the difference between a studio and a two bedroom, divide the price of a two bedroom in half and see how much less it is than a studio, having a roommate can result in a considerable savings. The ones listed here are a good representation of the rents in Queens . The prices can change. The real estate market is famous for that. Good luck hunting.
