↑ In Greenpoint, a second-floor studio apartment touts its newness: The plumbing, electric, flooring, and kitchen and bath appliances are all brand new. Also, small pets are okay.

↑ A one-bedroom in Astoria is slightly higher than $1,600 per month—okay, it's nearing $1,700 per month—but it's also more spacious and has a better layout than some of the other apartments in a similar price range. There's also a real kitchen, big enough to fit a table and chairs.

↑ This Red Hook one-bedroom is in the shadow of the Gowanus Expressway, but it's also rent stabilized. The listing touts its "south-facing private terrace" (i.e., a tiny metal balcony), and it has new kitchen appliances.

↑ In East Harlem, a one-bedroom asking exactly $1,600 has a bedroom that's big enough to fit a king-sized bed, in addition to wood floors, a kitchenette, and a cute fireplace in the living room.

↑ This recently renovated one-bedroom on the border of Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and Flatbush has new appliances in the kitchen and bathroom, along with an actually nice-looking bathtub. It also has "VERY TALL" ceilings, according to the listing.
