Best apartments/areas to live in? To avoid? Hi! My husband and I (previously living in Orlando) are going to be moving to Staten Island! We're Coast Guard, so we're trying to live near base while also living in a decent area! I noticed there aren't a lot of options for apartments near the base, unless we go to Brooklyn or that bit of NJ to the north. Are those options plausible? I saw that there's a pretty heavy toll on the Brooklyn-Staten Island bridge. What places should we avoid? Our budget is 2,400. We have a baby on the way so we also would prefer more room than a Studio. We were hoping for 1-2 bedrooms, but are willing to compromise with a studio if it has enough space!
