Moving from Chicago to Brooklyn in May, need advice!

My husband and I are moving for his job in May. We’re looking for a 2bd 2ba (or 1ba) in fort greene, williamsburg, park slope, greenpoint

when is the best time to start searching for a may 1st lease?

what’s a good budget? ours is currently 6000 will we have issues?

we are looking for quiet interiors due to being light sleepers…

are luxury apartments not worth looking at OR can someone recommend luxury apartments?

Is open igloo any good? Thank you!
