  1. E 105th St #2A

    Three-bedroom in East Harlem, $2,500/month ($834 per person)

    As well as being an attractively laid-out apartment with hardwood floors and proximity to both Central Park and mass transit, this place costs considerably less than a grand per roommate, which, in NYC, makes it slightly rarer than unicorn poop.

  4. E 47th St #DL88

    Two-bedroom in Midtown East, $3,600/month ($1,800 per person)

    Jumping up in price just a tad, this pad is nevertheless worth checking out for those with almost $2,000 to drop on rent each month. Huge kitchen, big windows, doorman, gym…you do at least get your money’s worth here. Relatively speaking, of course.

  7. E 5th St, unit A

    Two-bedroom in the East Village, $2,100/month ($1,050 per person)

    For slightly over a grand each, you can get this place in the East Village. There isn’t much of a kitchen, but it seems to get decent light, and the bathroom looks like it was made for actual, living, full-size humans, which is a nice surprise.

  10. Huron St #3A

    Two-bedroom in Greenpoint, Brooklyn; $3,600/month ($1,800 per person)

    Another more pricey option, this seems ideal for a couple in need of an extra bedroom to…put all their fancy hats in, maybe? Or a kid, whatever. With two bathrooms, a private terrace, a washer-dryer unit, a walk-in closet and a Jacuzzi, this is as grown-up an apartment as you’re likely to find in the rapidly overflowing-with-hipsters Greenpoint.

  13. Union Ave

    Three-bedroom in Williamsburg, Brooklyn; $3,395/month ($1,132 per person)

    Another win for those looking to move in with two friends, for a little over a grand per roommate, there’s this walk-up that claims to be a “short walk” (you can hope, right?) from the J, M and L trains. There’s a washer-dryer unit, a private roof deck and queen-size bedrooms. Slightly disconcerting is the phrase “photos are of a similar apartment,” but fingers crossed that similar means “actually similar” and not “Eddie Murphy’s room in Coming to America.”
