I've been looking into apartments in NYC, any borough that has an affordable area. The cheapest I've found for a studio or one bedroom is $800 and that's rare! Am I really looking at $1,000- $1600 rent if I'm living alone? I have a dog, thats why I don't really want a roommate. Any tips on rent controlled apartments anywhere in NYC? I have no problem navigating public transportation. I was born in Brooklyn, but left as a teenager.
