Here's what you can snap up for $2,500 in Harlem, Bed-Stuy, Park Slope and more

Maybe $2,500 a month doesn't seem like much in this crazy city of ours, but you can find something in every borough for that price point. As always, the further you get from Manhattan the bigger your place will be, but there are some solid choices here (especially if you're single or coupled without kids). It's rental high season, though, so be prepared to move quickly on these places.
