Welcome to Curbed Comparisons, a weekly column that explores what one can rent for a set dollar amount in various NYC neighborhoods. Is one man's studio another man's townhouse? Let's find out! Today, we're looking at apartments renting around $8,000.

↑ A 2,200-square-foot triplex in Kips Bay is renting for $7,950/month.
