From LA to Brooklyn, with family, for IT dude — Brooklynian

From LA to Brooklyn, with family, for IT dude

Hello Brooklynians,

I am living in LA now, but pretty tired of it. I used to live up north in SF for two years also, but while it's a city, it's certainly different "kind of city".. not really a big fan of it.

Thinking to move to Brooklyn. Couple things -- I have a family, 2 kids (new born + elementary school-age one ;-), wife. I work in IT (software engineering), but it's not in finances, neither in any other corp-stuff NYC is famous for.

So I am curious -- where would be a good place to rent in Brooklyn? 2bdr? Which would satisfy my love to the city, but have good schools, and not be hard on me (knowing I have kids). Also, how's job market for IT dudes?

Anything would help!

Thanks

    How much can you spend per month on rent? Or, how much cash do you have on hand to purchase a home?

    Why didn't you like SF? I'm curious what "different kind of city" means?

    What you can afford/your price range will help us narrow down your choices. Brooklyn is HUGE!

    I can tell you from experience that it costs more to live in manhattan/brooklyn then it does in LA or SF. (SF is close, but you get way more square footage for your buck there)

    In Park Slope proper 2 bedrooms start around $2800+... (there maybe be deals out there, but you usually find those through word of mouth/friends etc...)
