NYC is safe; nothing to worry about. As a previous poster wrote; use common sense (ex. don't go to the "shady" areas which are usually above 100th St. in Manhattan at 4am).
Rents in Manhattan are going to be more expensive than the outer-Boroughs (Queens, Brooklyn, etc.). Within Manhattan, the area that you will get the most space for your buck and is still a safe area to live is going to be on the Upper East Side. Studios probably go for around $1500.
Alot of people live in Manhattan just to be smack in the city and pay an insane amount of money for barely any space to do so. You don't have to live in Manhattan.
There are parts of Queens and Brooklyn that are safe (I and many of my friends have lived there) and are close to the city as well; plus you get much more space for lower rent than Manhattan (commute maybe 15 - 20 minutes longer). In Queens, you should check out Astoria, Woodside, Sunnyside. Brooklyn, you should check out Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Williamsburg.
Something to keep in mind; NYC rental market is 90% broker driven, meaning apartments go so quick in this city that you can have a hard time finding an apartment without a broker (some of these "scum" charge up to 15% of the annual rent just because they have an exclusive deal with the landlord; all they do is show you the apartment and try to convice you to rent sh#tty apartments). Another alternative is look on Craigslist for "no fee" apartments (some of those "scum" brokers advertise under here as well to "reel you in"). The true "no fee" apartments go in a matter of hours).

If you're looking for a great studio apartment, I would highly recommend StuyTown. It's a great community located just east of Union Square. It's a little on the higher end, price wise, but that's going to be the case unfortunately for most stupid apartments. You pay a premium for that privacy! But StuyTown has tons of no-fee apartments, which means to you don't have to pay a broker after closing. Suddenly you don't have to worry about paying an extra 4000 dollars right off the bat. Worth a look at least: https://www.stuytown.com/no-fee-apartments-nyc/studio-apartments-rent-nyc

Its not unsafe, but expensive. A studio will run between 1000 and 1700....unless you find some odd super extravagant expensive studio that costs more. Usually they are in the 1200 dollar range.

NY is very safe, if you are aware. I've never had a problem in NYC, and I lived there for 20 + years.
A studio rental will run you at least 1500 a month.
At Least.
Unless you go to queens or brooklyn.
Check out Craigslist .com and go to NY and check out the rentals- a quick scan will give you the gist.

I wrote an prolonged organisation plan employing the common income of an NYPD officer ($32,000/year) vs. the conventional place of abode lease in long island city ($1500/month) and used that to tutor that something must be executed to make residing right here greater decrease priced. fairly some NYPD stay in Hobken orJersey city to make up for their crappy pay and the intense lease. I even have worked in NYC genuine property for 2 years-do no longer pass right here with out a economic risk-free practices internet and a stable plan of what you opt to do.

New York is much safer than you think. However the rents are incredible, I had a niece who live in a studio while going to NYU and it was $2,500 a month.

$1500-3000 a month. Depending on what part of Manhattan you want to live in. That would be renting with no roommates.
NYC is very safe. You just have to use common sense.

why don't you take a look at craigslist, or the real estate section of the ny times on line? this will give a realistic idea of prices
