good luck with your search! i've just finished getting a place in brooklyn myself, slumming it / living the dream in hipster-ville, ya know. get some cons and some plastic frame glasses and you're virtually camoflauged. maybe i'll see ya around!
nice! where in BK are you living? i would love to chat about the different neighborhoods. it's SO hard to figure out what's safe and what isn't. i need a 2br for $1700 or less, preferably less.
i want to live on the L but it's nearly impossible to find anything near bedford/lorimer/grand and i hear sketchy things about bushwick. i hear good things about greenpoint but it's tough to find stuff there too. we've mostly been looking in prospect heights and crown heights. good? bad?
it's even thougher not being there to see these places.
be aware that 'east williamsburg' is BUSHWICK! The apt that i attempted to live in was in that area...my roommate got jumped the first week I lived there.
prospect heights is ghetto and crown heights isnt as bad...
in my adventure of looking your best bet might be a loft with a bunch of people, the only bad thing about that is that many of them only have one bathroom and usually have 4-6+ people living in them.
I'm not trying to scare you but I looked at ALLOT of places, just be careful. with a budget of $1700 it might be easier to find somewhere. I was working on $600 for a room.
I'm so proud of you Ang...Brooklyn is a big step. Depending on where you are I'm only a 1/2 hour-45 minute drive...I can be there whenever you need someone :-)
