Looking to move soon. Anyone have points of view on - A nicely renovated rental should be how much more. 1 bedroom - New building vs. older but very nice building? - New building in some of the out of way locations (seems like a lot of them are far west side) Thanks for the intel!

The fashionable places to live are out of the way west and out of the way east so you are closer to Jersey City, Hoboken, LIC, Astoria, Williamsburg and downtown BK. Core Manhattan is out of fashion, why do you think they were able to carve out Central Park and more recently shut down Times Square for Elmo, Minnie Mouse, and Madam Tussaud ?

Also being by the highway makes it easier for Uber pickup and dropoff. Real NYers no longer take the subway because you can no longer manspread.
