Right now I'm living in Brooklyn in the Bushwick/Ridgewood area, but since it's become such a popular area, it's getting harder and harder to find affordable housing. I've humored moving to the Bronx and have heard that there are a lot of great places for a good price over there, but I'm not from NY so I'm not familiar with what areas are good or not. Does anyone know of any neighborhoods that are safe and cheap? Alternatively, are there any places that you would suggest NOT moving to? I'm open to anywhere in Queens as well. Any advice would be helpful, thank you!

^ I heard that the bronx isn't actually so dangerous anymore, it just has a bad reputation? I'm sure there have to be some places that are nice.
And yeah, I basically live on the border of Brooklyn and Queens as it is. I think Ridgewood is nice, but it's starting to become another hipster neighborhood like Bushwick from what I've seen. For Queens, I work with a lot of people from Jackson Heights, and I hear there's a lot of Tibetan/Nepali people and shops over there, so that sounds interesting too.
My boyfriend is going to CCNY next year so I was thinking Bronx because it's close to the 4/5/6 and it would be convenient for him. Does anybody know any safe places near 4/5/6 subways stops?
