What you'll get across NYC for $1,800 a month
In spite of what some developers (or over-eager brokers) might have you believe, it's still possible find a good apartment for $1,800 a month in NYC, especially if you're willing to head uptown or to the outer boroughs. (Naturally, the same amount of money that will net you a studio in Manhattan is enough for an entire house on Staten Island.) To make the search that much easier, we've rounded up rentals in your budget that are available right now in all five boroughs.
If this is your first time renting in NYC (or if it's been a while since your last apartment hunt), take a look at BrickUnderground’s handy How to Rent Guide. For added insight, check out our crash course on how to find an apartment, too.
