I am a single female looking to find an apartment within commuting distance from Manhattan. I don't do well with roomates and do not want to spend more then $900 on rent. I'm looking for an area that would be safe. When I look on websites I see different towns or areas to live, but know very little about them. All and any help would be appreciated.
Thank-you!

As a native New Yorker you have plenty of options. If you are looking to rent for $900 you definetely won't find that in NYC. You should be looking for 1 bedroom apartments in Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx or Long Island. There are many neighborhoods in these areas that are either a short subway ride or train ride to NYC. It really depends on what type of area you want to live in NY has it all. If you need additional help e-mail me

For $900, you will have to live farther out than Hoboken, Jersey City, Union City, North Bergen, Weehawken, Guttenberg, West New York, etc unless you get a studio. Even then, $900 won't get you a studio in places like Hoboken.
Towns like Bloomfield, Montclair, Clifton, etc are nice and they all have train service.

you should ask a local real estate agent. there are tons of good ones on this directory (they'll be able to tell you everything there is to know about the areas around Manhattan) http://www.realestateforsaleinnewyork.com
