manhattan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in new york' is the definition.
('Manhattan' is part of 'new york')

'the fellow that moved to an' is the wordplay.
'the fellow' becomes 'man' (fellow can mean a man).
'moved' is an anagram indicator.
'that' with letters rearranged gives 'hatt'.
'man'+'hatt'+'an'='MANHATTAN'

'expensive area' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
