  1. 265 South 2nd St #19

    Three-bedroom in Williamsburg, Brooklyn; $3,606/month ($1,202 per person)

    A ten-minute walk from the Bedford Ave subway stop, this three-bedroom apartment has a new kitchen and bathroom, as well as refinished hardwood floors and air-conditioning. It is, however, described as having “prewar charm”, which sounds suspiciously like something you’ll want to translate in the New York real-estate agent–to-English dictionary.

  4. W 56th St #11

    Studio in Hell’s Kitchen, $1,775/month

    Once you’ve got over the fact that they’re asking close to two grand a month for a studio (why hello, Manhattan!) you might appreciate the tastefully renovated second floor of this brownstone in the heart of the city. Or you might just say, “Screw this,” and move back to Texas, where for the same price, you can rent your own castle.

  7. Eagle St #2

    Two-bedroom in Greenpoint, Brooklyn; $2,995/month ($1,497.50 per person)

    Spacious apartments are rarer than enthusiastic boyfriends at a farmers' market, but they do exist. As well as being surprisingly large, this pad has custom cabinetry that makes it look like some forgotten old gentlemen explorers' drinking club (this, if you were wondering, is a good thing). It also has in-unit laundry, a balcony and a roof deck—buy a pile of old taxidermy and a case of good Scotch, and you’re in business.

  10. 44th Rd #867

    Two-bedroom in Long Island City, Queens; $3,400/month ($1,700 per person)

    One of the more expensive places on this week’s list is also one of the most attractive, with in-unit laundry, a balcony, high ceilings, a roof deck, free Wi-Fi and a gym in the building. (Apartment-building marketers: Can we stop calling them “fitness centers” now? It’s a gym. Thanks!)

    Three-bedroom on the Upper West Side, $2,895/month ($965 per person)

    Two blocks from Central Park, with laundry in the apartment, for less than a grand a month per person. And it’s only one floor up! There are no cats or dogs allowed, but hey, sometimes sacrifices have to be made (sorry, Tiddles).
