Discussion about
I'm a mid-twenties single guy looking to buy a condo in the $200K range within the next year. I have my own business with clients mainly in Manhattan. Can anyone recommend a neighborhood that has a good balance of fun, safety and proximity to the city? Currently I live with my parents on the Upper East Side, and although I know I definitely want out of this neighborhood, I don't want to go to a place that will have too much culture shock. I'm even open to suggestions outside of the city.

I would buy out in Long Beach, which is an hour away by LIRR. It's a tough commute if you're coming into the city at different hours, because there's only one train an hour during the day, but if you commute in the traditional rush hours there are a few.
