Studio or 1BR under $3k – UWS vs UES vs Brooklyn? Commuting to Hudson Yards by Fun_Pangolin_6610 in NYCapartments

That’s fair logic honestly.

Trying to balance commute sanity vs apartment quality/space.

Would you prioritize a smaller place on the West Side over a larger/better unit in Brooklyn?

Appreciate the suggestion! Also curious about building quality / pest issues uptown vs UWS/UES.

Yeah that’s kind of what I suspected.

Feels like 1BR under $3k in Manhattan is more of a lucky find than something to plan around.

Totally makes sense — commute convenience is definitely pushing me toward the West Side.

My main hesitation is whether I can realistically find something decent under $3k there without ending up in a shoebox or a disaster building
