  1. 100 Maspeth Ave #5H

    Two-bedroom in Williamsburg, Brooklyn; $3,400/month ($1,700 per person)

    Just a short walk from the Graham Ave stop on the L, this two-bed, two-bath pad sounds more like a fancypants membership club in the Meatpacking District than a Williamsburg apartment: The unit has high ceilings, luxe amenities and two terraces with a private rooftop cabana; plus, the building features a 24-hour doorman, billiards room and a MOTHEREFFING SWIMMING POOL. The downside: Nearby neighbors in grittier buildings will no doubt judge you for selling out. (Worth it.)

  4. 257 Water St #5BB

    One-bedroom (that can be converted into a two-bed), Financial District; $2,950/month ($1,475 per person)

    Two words: washer-dryer (OMG). Somewhere along the way, FiDi got kind of cool (and people started calling it FiDi). No longer just the place you take your parents when they're visiting from Iowa, there's actually, like, neat stuff to do at South Street Seaport now. We're not sure what it means that this apartment can be "converted into a two-bedroom" (best-case scenario: putting up a fake wall; worst-case: sleeping on the terrace), but with a roof deck that promises views of the Brooklyn Bridge, it couldn't hurt to find out. (The chef's kitchen and hardwood floors don't hurt either.)

  7. 62 W 48th St #5R

    One-bedroom in Midtown East, $2,025/month ($1,013 per person)

    This apartment is what one might call "no-frills." And okay, 48th and Sixth isn't exactly anyone's top neighborhood choice. But look at it this way: You can get to MoMA really early and beat all the lines. And maybe now you'll finally visit the Top of the Rock like you've always wanted. It's close to $1K per person, which really ain't bad. And did we mention Bryant Park? Heh? Heh?

  9. 53 W 105th St #2

    Two-bedroom on the Upper West Side, $3,295/month ($1,648 per person)

    On the pricier side of this week's picks, this renovated upper UWS pad has a lot of light and what looks to be a long and narrow hallway perfect for backflips. (You don't know how to do backflips? Now you have a reason to learn!) Proximity to Central Park and Harlem make it a prime spot, geography-wise, and there even appear to be trees right outside the bedrooms. (Real live trees!)

  11. 14th St between First Ave and Ave A

    Two-bedroom in the East Village, $2,750/month ($1,375 per person)

    This two-bedroom in the EV doesn't list an exact address, leading us to believe that you get the ENTIRE block—what a steal! (We kid.) But seriously, this place looks really nice. Super pretty cherry-stained floors; so much sun; a little weirdly shaped, window-dotted alcove—just imagine what you could do with that alcove! (We think it looks like the perfect place to install a permanent Twister board, but that's us.) Kitchen looks suspiciously small, but you exist on takeout and delivery anyway, so who cares. (Oh, plus, exposed brick. Who doesn't love exposed brick!)
