[quote=Anonymous]I agree this thread has some really insane posts! I find it so odd when people who have never lived in Manhattan or the other boroughs claim it's not possible. There is a pretty good selection of public schools available for a 500K budget. You can live in a doorman building on the UES, settle into a public and live a pretty normal life, with normal friends (not high rollers talking about their safaris). You'll have a small apartment, not a house with a yard, but that's what NYC is. Hoboken is nice and probably would be fine. I don't know about the schools though. Op, on your budget I would choose Yorkville/UES or northern UWS instead of NJ. There are a good number of good publics there. Post on urbanbaby for school advice. If you're going to live on the other side of the river from the city, may as well make it for a house with a yard IMO. The big exception to that is Brooklyn. [/quote]
