I live on the border of chinatown and have to move soon. I walk through deep parts of it a lot and it seems the places there would be comparatively really cheap. However, I never see any listed in english language classifieds. I feel like I have to break in to a secret world of real estate bliss. My friend speaks mandarin, maybe that would help.
Yeah, your friend could help you .. but if you are familiar with the area look around for vacancies and ask around to the people that live there and maybe that will help..
Good Luck!

Not everyone in Chinatown speaks Mandarin, the majority are Cantonese. It would be a good idea to ask your friend if he or she has any Cantonese friends that have connections. My friend’s grandparents live in China Town, and I’ve been there with her family. When we walked into the restaurant, we immediately got seated, and also got a major discount on the meal. To break into this kind of family-run town, find someone trust worthy and be sure to include a little incentive. I.e. money, services, etc. ;D

You should check my website or give me call. I specialize in Chinatown rentals – finding cheap rentals. Yes, I am a broker, but our broker fees are small in comparison to other companies and we accept credit cards so you don’t have to pay for everything all at once. Finding an apartment in the city is no easy task…We have been in the business for a while and have developed relationships with landlords. This is really the only way to get a great deal, unless you are related to someone or just lucky. Visit my website: http://www.chinatownlistings.com. or give me a call 212-274-8318.
Best of luck. Gina Berger- LOWER EAST END REALTY
