Yeah, the rent is definitely (too damn) high. I've also considered western Queens (LIC, Astoria, Sunnyside). But I don't think I could share an apartment several people I don't know, so I'm preparing myself to pay something in the $1500 range.
I think my best idea so far is to just find a 1-month arrangement on AirBnB where I can get settled to find a job and apartment.
