NYC is an awesome place to live. The cost of living however is expensive. My friend has a really small apartment by Time Square and she is spending 1500 a month. But you do save alot of money on transportation.
You can purchase a month long ticket for the subways for 75 dollars. Think of how much you are spending right now on a monthly basis with gas, car payments and car insurance. The subways are a great means of transportation by far! Well besides the occasional dude that hasn't taken a shower in about of month, but that is an entire different story.
If I were you I would life in NYC, not on the outskirts. You can do ANYTHING in NYC. Central park is such a great place to kick it, exercise, pretty much anything you want to do.
Go there on a vacation first and feel it out. You will know where the places to be are.

It's expensive.
Seems a lot of people want to move to New York, because they want to have the "New York Experience", but that experience is not what it used to be. The days of the poor artist living in a meager SoHo loft are long gone.
The City is rapidly becoming homogenized to a certain level of income and employment, to the point where everyone else simply can't afford to live here.
I'm not sure how well this answers your question, but I figured I would try to fill you in on the reality of the situation.

Live in Hoboken or Queens or Brooklyne. Expect to pay $2000 per month for a studio, $3000 per month for a one bedroom.

inspect Queens. This city no longer a place you opt to flow without plan however, because it gets very costly, and you will choose stable artwork as quickly as you get right here to boot to the money it takes to get settled. some places require you to pay a pair months lease in enhance. i think of you may desire to get extra familiar with the city in the previous you progression right here. attempt traveling some extra.

Rent in New York is very expensive these days. If you can afford it, then go for it. Queens have pretty safe neighborhoods.

...New York, N.Y. the City so nice, they named it twice and it's open all night long... "life in the fast lane" (even at 3AM)
fasten your seal belt and enjoy the ride... but always "be aware".... "be aware"....
