I assume you mean suburbs of New York City, as the suburbs in the rest of the state are not nearly expensive. Rent for a 1 bedroom apartment will be much closer to $800 (and I'm not so sure the job prospects in a NYC suburb is substantially better than a Rochester/Buffalo/Syracuse/Albany suburb given how expansive, and thus difficult to commute into, the city is?).

yeah, I was referring to Long Island in particular but I have been to Albany a lot and I have friends living there. Not sure about other areas but Albany doesn't have as many good paying jobs as suburbs of NYC has to offer, in my observations.
