Manhattan is pricey wherever you go. ESPECIALLY downtown.
The common misconception people have about moving to New York is that they have to be IN Manhattan. The prices here are astronomical. You can live in neighboring towns like Astoria/Long Island City. Its a 15 minute train ride to Manhattan (you can see the skyline from anywhere)
But if you want to be IN Manhattan no matter what then the furthest North you go, the cheaper.
2 years in advance is a bit early to be looking for a place in the city… things change a lot in nyc. You should check back in a year, but as of right now you can find reasonably priced apartments at the north end of manhattan (washington heights, inwood), brooklyn (red hook), bronx (kingsbridge near the 1 train), just make sure you’re near a subway line otherwise life can get difficult.
Good luck with those visas!
