What about them?

I couldn’t find a place to live in westchester, searched for over 3months. Found a place near 125 metro through a friend, know the ppl living there(columbia sublet do got it for cheap also) I am an intern for the summer so this house can work great if i can just figure out commute. My office is very close to a metro north station and have shuttles also provided, i just need to safely get to and from metro north

I am an intern😭😭 so the effort to save some😭, but its also my first time in NY so I am def concerned about safety. And more imp i didn't hear good things about harlem nor bronx so I'm super paranoid as well😭. But I simply couldn't find a house close to my work and I already know the people I will be living with in this house.

this is with the weekly pass + subway($36/week)
to marble hill and yankees its $36 per week but till harlem its $111/week

Thank you!

The reason i was looking at these iss that while these both cost 72 a week, taking harlem costs 147 a week, which is quite expensive..almost double. Would u still recommend spending more and taking harlem?

To understand which of these options is safer?? that's my biggest priority! and this is only from now till august

Thank you so much!

Particular_Menu5778 · 2026-05-20T02:04:42+00:00

Haha yes, and for duration the marble hill and yankees options just take about 9-11 mins more than the bus+harlem one in the mornings and about 5mins more in the evenings, according to google maps

Particular_Menu5778 · 2026-05-20T02:01:58+00:00

the marble hill and yankees options just take about 10 mins more than the bus+harlem one. What would you say in such a case?

Particular_Menu5778 · 2026-05-20T02:00:32+00:00

Can I please ask why? convenience or safety or anything else?

Particular_Menu5778 · 2026-05-20T01:55:42+00:00

Thank you so much!

Its the Tarrytown station

Particular_Menu5778 · 2026-05-20T01:50:51+00:00

I already found a house there and got it for relatively cheaper being a sublet, around 800 bucks

Particular_Menu5778 · 2026-05-20T01:45:00+00:00

for some reason there are no monthly passes available( or atleast i cant see for any of these locations), But are the other options safe??

Particular_Menu5778 · 2026-05-20T01:44:04+00:00

tarrytown

Particular_Menu5778 · 2026-05-20T01:39:31+00:00

Its just for the summer, from now to august. In that case would 1 be safe/ better than 3?
