For $2,295/month, there’s this renovated studio in Brooklyn Heights that has exposed brick, a corner kitchenette with stainless steel appliances, large windows—and a sleeping loft. While it’s small, it’s in a prime Brooklyn Heights spot, and a number of transit hubs (Borough Hall, Jay Street-MetroTech) are a short walk away.

In Williamsburg, an even $2,300/month rents this two-bedroom with a windowed eat-in kitchen, a modest-sized living room, bedrooms that can accommodate king and queen-sized beds, and a fair amount of natural light. The nearest train station is the L line’s Montrose Avenue station; with the impending 15-month shutdown, that’s something to consider.
