FWIW: My daughter is working every day in the Bronx and going to graduate school at night at Fordham - Lincoln Center. She has been living in Alphabet City, because (for Manhattan) that was what “young” and “affordable” looked like. (Harlem was the other neighborhood that looked like that.) She’s planning to move to one of several neighborhoods in Brooklyn, which are slightly younger and slightly more affordable. The commute is a pain, but much less of a pain than living light-years from her social life would be.
