I was offered a job this past week in manhattan. The job requires nyc residency, and I would have 3 months from my start date (11/19) to relocate. I'm currently in CT, about a 2 hr commute by train which I can hack for the time being. A very cursory look on craigslist shows rents for a 1 or 2 bedroom anywhere from $1,400 to $3,200 (the high end being manhattan). The job is offering some very decent coin where I *could* afford the high end being single w/ no kids, but I'm trying to keep living expenses as low as possible.

Can anyone suggest a safe, decent place to live in one of the 5 boroughs which isn't more than a 30 minute commute from Church St in manhattan, and can possibly accomodate bringing my cars with me?

Thanks in advance.
