Cheap Housing in NY Near Connecticut Border

[KAMALAGRAD]

Hi all,

 

I'm a recent Columbia journalism school grad (okay maybe not that recent), who may relocate to the NY/CT border if a I get a job I applied to in Connecticut. The budget I'm looking to spend is about $800 per month for a studio or one bedroom with parking. Does anyone know any NY towns or better yet specific apartment buildings where this would be doable. So far I have heard good things about Peekskill, NY. I also heard New Rochelle as a possibility, but they seem to be just a little too pricey. Orginally I was thinking Brewster, but I've fond nothing even close to my price range there. I know $800 per month for a studio and parking is pretty much impossible to do in NYC though I would love it if I somehow lucked out as I love NYC Still, the closest I've come across was a studio with parking in the Bronx for $1040. I'm almost tempted to jump on that, but I think that would stretch me a little too thin haha.

The jurisdiction of New York actually extends east at Fishers Island where New York shares a sea border with Rhode Island .
