Brooklyn To Manhattan -- (New York, Carroll: neighborhoods, taxi, living in)

How's the commute?? Via Taxi and Train? How long does it take and how easy is the commute?

Im moving to New York from Cali and may consider living in Brooklyn to save some $$$... What are some cool parts of Brooklyn for 24 year old to live??

what do you guys suggest???

What part of Brooklyn to what part of Manhattan? It varies greatly, from 5 minutes to more than an hour and a half. Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens and Prospect Heights are all fairly nice and a quick commute.

Teacher...

Honestly, I'm self employed and will be working from home..just want something a little more reasonable in price, but also in a nice area, if possible.......

So, what would be a nice area in brooklyn to live in that is easily commutable to Manhattan? I wont be working in Manhattan so that doesnt really matter....i just absolutely love the city so I want to be able to easily get out there as much as possible without it being too much of a pain.

Thanks again

Take a look at an NYC subway map and look for brooklyn neighborhoods on the L train or the F train. Pretty quick and easy access to Manhattan.
