1BR, $1,550
639 W 173rd St between Broadway and Fort Washington Ave, Washington Heights
Included: Heat and hot water
Broker’s fee: 15 percent of annual rent ($2,790)
To move in: First month’s rent and one-month security
The highlights: Small but charming, this light-flooded abode has western-facing windows in the bedroom with partial views of the Hudson River.

The hang-ups: The kitchen is lacking in counter space, so it’s not ideal for anyone who plans on cooking frequently.
