Seriously? How much is 'surprisingly cheap'? I'm looking for places to live & have been hearing stuff abt how it's cheaper than other areas, etc., but craigslist apt. postings do not seem to bear this out.

ues isn't "cheap," just not as expensive as you might think for the ues. compared to, i don't know, soho, it's a relative bargain. the downside being that you have to live on the upper east side (which i don't mind). we're planning to move crosstown to the uws later this year, and at least from the rental listings i'm seeing it looks like the prices are pretty comparable. (speaking of which, if anyone happens to know of a 2-br apt. being vacated on the uws in july, let me know...)

and i think burt stanton means that rent is surprisingly cheap in spanish harlem, not the UES.

well, I mean UES like ... a 6th floor walk-up on 1st Avenue and 92nd Street, where it takes like 15 minutes to walk to the local 6. The places I saw were grungy as hell, though.

Considering what we're paying in East-East Williamsburg now I'm wondering if Yorkville and the East-East UES aren't a better deal by now, especially considering the easy commute for me.
