best neighborhood to live in in Manhattan???
we might be heading over to Manhattan in September for anywhere from 3-10 months for my husband's work. we likely get to choose where we want to live, so we want to pick something family-friendly. We have two DDs who will be 3.5 and 1.5 in September. I need to be somewhere that is in walking distance of shops, parks, activities, etc, and hopefully in an area with other young families. I am terrified about making the short-term move and surviving on my own with 2 little ones (dh works long hours).
Thanks for all of the help!!!
Re: best neighborhood to live in in Manhattan???
if you must live in manhattan, i'd say you should stay near central park east...maybe in the 70s or 80s.
what i think would be an even better bet is park slope, an absolutely LOVELY neighborhood in brooklyn with tons of kids, tons of parks, tons of pretty much everything a young family could ever need or want within walking distance. oh, and it's unbelieveably safe. and did i mention beautiful?
