How far should I live from Rector St to still call it "near the subway"?
Most New Yorkers consider anything under a 10-minute walk to be "near" a station. Under 5 minutes is ideal. But the real test is the door-to-platform time — a building 3 minutes from the entrance can be several more from the platform if the station has long corridors or deep stairs. Visit at rush hour to time the actual commute.

Should I choose my apartment based on the subway station or the neighborhood?
Both matter, but most longtime New Yorkers will tell you the station matters more for your daily happiness.
