    99 Battery Pl #2711

    Three-bedroom in Battery Park City, $3,272/month ($1,091 per person)

    Packed into a 4 train stuck in Midtown, it's easy to forget that NYC is an island surrounded by open masses of water. At this roomy lower Manhattan 27th-floor apartment, though, you can gaze out your window—or from your rooftop patio—to the grand expanse. And if you find yourself jealous of the carefree tourists parading the area, fear not: A doorman, concierge, gym and valet service will put you in permanent spoiled vacation mode.

    W 113th St

    Three-bedroom in Central Harlem, $3,250/month ($1,083 per person)

    No, that antique-looking furniture set is not included; but suffice it to say Harlem isn't what it once was (I'm looking at you, "exposed brick"). This newly-renovated apartment is ideally situated between Columbia University and Central Park, granting you the perfect opportunity to pursue that masters you're always talking about, or maybe just that perfect Great Lawn suntan.
