No, $100,000 would get you by, but not comfortably. Rents are very high for the lack of services. Garbage everywhere and roads are undriveable. White Plains would give you a better value and they have a real school system.

Ok I'll check it out.
I want the job and am willing to take a quality of life hit to experience living near NYC, but if it's unaffordable then I'll just pass haha

That’s a troll account, you can live good in Yonkers at 100k.

You are a troll account. You of all people should know you cant live good in Yonkers. You live with Lorraine and have no expenses. If you had to fend for yourself without her money you would be living in Mount Vernon.

Where are you moving from? Living in Yonkers to “live near the city” might feel frustrating. It’s not close enough to feel worth it. We are not on a subway line. You’ll need to take metro north and deal with finding parking at/near a train station, which isn’t always easy. Or take the bus. Idk. I used to live in Astoria and it was so much more accessible, just hop on the subway. Cheap and easy. Yonkers feels so far, more than I expected. This is why I don’t work in the city, and instead drive really far north for work. It’s easier than the commute to the city.

Moving from a cheap rural area in the Midwest.
I don't really care where I live so long as the area is safe and within 30 min from work.
