Check out the Jackson Height area. 74th is safe and rent isn't too bad if you look. A friend has a 2br for $1400 (total, and got it recently) and a couple blocks from F/R/V/7/etc trains. ~25minutes to Manhattan.
=/ My half of the rent is just under 50% of monthly income BEFORE taxes. After 401k and taxes it's like 75% I know I know... stupid of me. I have 4 days to find a place before work started though. It was kind of a last minute thing.
That's pretty typical for NYC momos.
