Suggestions to finalise area of stay!

Hi All,
I just moved to Tokyo and have been looking for areas to stay. I want to stay near to Tokyo central so that I get a mix of social life and the calm. But it’s so damn expensive. I have the following options from a agent. Which among these would you suggest would be the best option.
1. Sumida Area
2. Koto area, near to Edagawa

I really don’t want to get bored on the weekends or after I am back from work. Because it’s a new Country and city, I’d like to make connections, establia social life and enjoy the vibrant things the city has to offer without the need to travel a lot.

Thanks for your suggestions.
