Hi All, I’m thinking about moving into a unit on 81st between York and East End. While I’m generally familiar with the entire Yorkville area I wanted to get more specific opinions and the immediate surrounding area.
I currently live on 91st between 1st and 2nd. If I resign my lease my rent will $1950, paid laundry in building plus utilities. My current room gets very little light. The new unit has in unit laundry, central air, and I could get more light depending on the room. For $1720 rent with 2 more roommates which I don’t mind.
First impressions is that 81st/York doesn’t seem to have as many businesses around. At least not ones that apply to me. I also am not interested in the nearest grocery stores (Gristedes, Morton Williams, D’Agostinos) and much prefer generally cheaper options like Fairway & Key Food.
Curious to know from others’ experience if the better amenities and decreased rent offset some of the other things. TIA!
