2BR, $1,475
95 Sherman Ave between Benziger and Corson Aves, Staten Island
Included: No utilities
Broker's fee: None
To move in: First month's rent and one-month security
The highlights: Excellent natural light from the north and east floods various rooms, and charming moldings surround an archway between the giant living and dining rooms.
The hang-ups: One bedroom is much smaller than the other, and they are both outfitted with hideous gray carpeting. This plain white, walk-up apartment building stands out among the block’s mostly private houses, some of which are run-down, dilapidated and even boarded up.
