You can easily find a place for 1/3 your gross rent in the low $70ks, that is around $2k/mo. I have a 1br DT listed right now, and just leased a 2br in the Heights in that range. Don't listen to the 'luxury' snobs about having to live 'East of Grove'.

It's unfortunate but if you go 4 blocks west of Grove, on Newark the area starts looking noticeably more run down.

I kinda regret not getting a $1700 one bedroom walkup within a 8 minute walk of Grove Street during covid. Instead I went for something close to double the price 2 years later in one of the newer high rises in the NYC area. But I forget to lock my door all the time so the peace of mind is worth it l.
