Can anyone name areas in brooklyn that are nice to live in? where would be a good site to search for apartments in white plains, yonkers, and hoboken?

Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Williamsburg: nice for different reasons.

What sort of neighborhood are you looking for? A quiet place, or an area with lots of things to do? We could be more helpful if we had a bit more information.

I am starting a residency program in NY and will have to move there sometime around June 2006. I am looking for an apartment that measures atleast 1100 sf with a nice kitchen (granite countertops, stainless steel appliances) and bathroom (marble). I am willing to live in an area that is located no more than 30 minutes away from brooklyn on the train.

^ Check out Forest Hills, Queens.

Which train will you need to take in Brooklyn? That's generally a good way to start narrowing things down.
