I have a job in Canarsie. Now, my sister thinks I should get a place in East Williamsburg/Bushwick because it's on the L train, but I'm exploring other alternatives. Are there other convenient ways to get to Canarsie? I'm thinking of living in the Sheepshead Bay area and bike commuting along the greenway as a possibility. Or is there somewhere in Queens that's convenient? If I only really need to get into Manhattan on the weekends, there's no point in living super-close. But I don't really want to live further along the L line into East New York.
I'm looking for a studio or 1-bedroom for $950 or under, doesn't have to be a GREAT neighborhood but should be not too scary. Prefer to live alone but could deal with a roommate.
How about Middle Village Queens near the M train, then transfer to the L? Rents should be cheap around there (I think) and it is a very quiet, middle-class area. I've driven through there but dont have firsthand knowledge of the neighborhood.
