    St Marks Pl #17

    Two-bedroom in the East Village, $3,395/month ($1,697.50 per person)

    The East Village is always going to have its die-hard fans, and this is about as classic East Village as it gets (minus the prostrate bodies of poets slumped over from a combination of cheap red wine and heroin, of course). If only the rent had stayed as faithful to the area’s roots as its décor.

    E 101st St #3B

    Three-bedroom in East Harlem, $3,100/month ($1,033 per person)

    In this week’s edition of “It’s a bargain…for New York, at least,” we have this three-bedroom in East Harlem. It’s just two blocks from the north-west end of the park, one block from the 103rd St 6 train, and it has a washer and dryer in the apartment. In other words, it’s everything you’re going to pay at least twice as much for just a few blocks south.

    85 W 104th St

    Two-bedroom on the Upper West Side, $2,650/month ($1,325 per person)

    Almost directly opposite, on the other side of the park, is this two-bedroom. The listing promises recently renovated bathroom and kitchen, but there are no photos of either, so make of that what you will. What the listing DOES have is RANDOMLY capitalized words at uneven INTERVALS so that reading IT out LOUD makes you sound a BIT like CHRISTOPHER Walken.

    Sullivan St #4

    Two-bedroom in Soho, $3,200/month ($1,600 per person)

    “This is where you want to be!!!” promises the listing, and despite the over abundance of exclamation points, that’s not an overly bold statement—this place sits right on the border of the West Village, which is indeed a pretty nice place to be. Fans of very dark brown cabinetry will also not be disappointed.

    E 76th St #5RS

    One-bedroom on the Upper East Side, $1,975/month

    Finding a one-bedroom for less than two grand a month in Manhattan is tough these days (this one barely scrapes it) but this one at least has the advantage of being relatively spacious, with decent closet space and a proper kitchen. It’s also close to the subway, which, on the Upper East Side, means about a 10-minute walk.
