You're probably thinking Manhattan but NYC has a lot of affordable areas.

Queens or Brooklyn are obvious alternatives to Manhattan but, with the right long-term planning and development, Bronx or Staten Island could make great options.

Staten Island has transportation headaches (no subway) but the Bronx is well connected to Manhattan. It's also close to northern suburbs like Westchester County and Connecticut where many people might want to live and commute from.

Staten Island has the SIR.

But that is not helpful in commuting to Manhattan, is it? You'd still have to use the ferry.

It gets you to the ferry or the express buses. You can easily take quite a few very very limited stop buses from SI to midtown.
