ent on craigslist to find rooms in NYC and I found a ton for under 700 a month

Everyone tells me it's impossible to live in NYC at that price

Are they scams or what?

Yup. Literally impossible to pay that low of rent. You might pay $1000 a month to live on Staten Island or the farthest reaches of Brooklyn in a shanty.

You'd just be living with four other people in one apartment. I pay 1600 for an apartment in east harlem.

I live in Brooklyn, when you say NYC do you mean just Manhattan or are you including the rest of NYC; Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, The Bronx.

If you are just talking about Manhattan, it is some kind of scam. Even the shittiests and dirtiest studio apartments in Harlem would cost at lease $1,200.

If your talking outside of Manhattan it depends where you live, Some neighborhoods in The bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn might have studio apartments for like $850, if you are lucky to find one, but once again they will be in the most dangerous blackest areas. Look at neighborhoods like Brownsville, Brooklyn and Tremont, Bronx, They will have the cheapest apartments, but you don't want to live there.

My 1 bedroom apartment in costs $1,400, and its a nice neighborhood close to the ocean. I got really lucky finding it though.

Guys, an entire APARTMENT is not going to be 700$ but even in manhattan it's not unreasonable to find a ROOM for 700$.

However for 700$ it'll probably be "share a bedroom with 4 crackheads, shared bathroom with 20 apartments"

Yeah, pretty much this. I considered moving to New York City a few years back. Bay Ridge seems to be one of the cheaper parts of Brooklyn and it's still hard to find a one-bedroom apartment for less than $1200. However, I did see quite a few postings for rooms in Harlem and Inwood for $600 and on up. Are you going to be living in a palace? Of course not. You'll probably be fitting in a space that most people would allot to a bathroom or walk-in closet.

This shouldn't be surprising, considering that 1- and 2-bedroom apartments anywhere below the northern end of Central Park can run from $5,000 on up.
