I'm living in Bushwick in a 2k/month studio and just got a new job that will pay me double my current salary. I'm 31 and I like a lot about the neighborhood but wouldn't mind moving up to a slightly nicer area when my lease expires in the fall.

Any suggestions for where I could find a 2.5k/month studio/1BR (something along those lines) that isn't a shit-hole and is in a fun area with cool people, parks, etc. ? It feels like every other neighborhood I check there aren't many options below 3.5k/month, and I don't want to spend all the extra money i'm making on rent.
