    E 3rd St

    Two-bedroom in the East Village, $2,500/month ($1,250 per person)

    This pre-war co-op has a good location in the East Village and a nice, open layout. (Or you know, as open as you can get on the west side of the East River) The beauty of this apartment, however, is really in the details. The rental features hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances and a wall of exposed brick. When you’re ready to step outside onto the less polished surfaces of the lettered avenues, you’re just a short walk away from the East River Bikeway and Promenade. There’s also a window in the bathroom if you’re into that.

    147 Leonard St #4R

    Two-bedroom in Williamsburg for $2,800/month ($1,400 per person)

    This Williamsburg two-bedroom has the hardwood floors, brightly tiled walls and brand-new cabinets of an Ikea showroom. It’s centrally located between the Lorimer and Grand L stops, and boasts two well-lit bedrooms. Most importantly, however, it includes that most treasured of New York real estate finds: a dishwasher. Abeautiful, stainless steel, life-improving dishwasher. If you can’t use that as a pick-up line at bars, you’re not even trying.

    20 Exchange Pl #6

    Two-bedroom in the Financial District, $2,950/month ($1,475 per person)

    This is one of those Financial District apartments where you’ll probably feel like you’re paying a lot more money than you actually are. The building offers a 24/7 doorman concierge, a private gym and a rooftop terrace. Not to mention, both the bedrooms fit a king-sized bed, so you won’t feel as cramped as usual splitting a Manhattan pad. And you’re only a block from Wall Street, so you’ll have plenty of power lunch options. It’s the apartment of Tess McGill’s dreams.
