We are looking for a "safe" area that is closer to Manhattan School of
Music/ Columbia University, reasonably priced, up to around 1500.

Looking for a 2 bed. preferably, nothing less than 1. Allowing for pets, (2 dogs)

Look at the Upper West Side or Morningside Heights.

What size apartment are you talking about?  Studio?  One Bedroom?

A good bet is Craigs List.  I know a lot of people who found their
apartments thru them.

Safe areas in Manhattan are grotesquely expensive, as are spots like
Brooklyn Heights. You'll likely end up way out in one of the Boroughs,
or in New Jersey. With 2 dogs, you'd do better to look in outer Queens
or Staten Island for a 'mother-daughter' 2/3 family.
