W 37th St #14D

Three-bedroom apartment in Hell’s Kitchen, $3,700/month ($1,233 per person)

While it’s not cheap cheap, per se, this midtown pad offers a ton of bang for your buck, and by bang we mean so many amenities it’s ridiculous. For starters, the layout appears to be fairly spacious (breakfast counter, yes please!). Plus there are two full bathrooms and an in-unit washer and dryer. But the icing on the cake is that the building has a fitness center, concierge, bike storage and “rooftop sun and yoga decks," per Zumper.
