9. Crown Heights
Rent rate: $1,995
Schools in the area: 5
Public transits: none
Crown Heights might not have as many public transits and schools in the neighborhood as Astoria, but the difference in their rent costs is too big to ignore. Students who still find these rentals on the expensive side have the option to find someone they can live with in an apartment. That way, they can split the rent and save more money in the process. The area is not bad at all since there are still five schools, as well as restaurants and a library. You can take the lack of amenities as an excuse for you to focus on your academics, too.
