-1 Far Rockaway, maybe, but OP said "the area" - Bayswater is a good few hundred dollars less than that, if you are interested in living there.
Unless your talking about a basement apt, a 2br apt is definitely not a few hundred less than 1400. When I lived there 3 years ago 3 brs were starting at 1600.

I wasn't referring to Bayswater. My wife is from fr and she wouldn't touch bw with a barge pole. Although it's a shame as Fr is so expensive. Is Inwood any better?

when it's a 3-4 block walk in the summer (and a bench on the way home) in sunny 80-90 degree weather, then it's also great.
Especially when you can give your kids a cell phone and they can walk there and bring you back an order based on that day's flavors -- that they call you about from on-site. After dinner, it's a great treat! We buy quarts for Shabbos, too.

interesting point but I personally like the drive better.
I do love the new "flight" option. 4 flavors that don't mix

Exactly what I thought lol.
Inwood is a nice place. to buy or rent? - the truth is that both are cheaper. don't know prices though.
