Gramercy
A one-bedroom in a building on the north side of Gramercy Park is renting for $3,800/month. Though the bedroom isn’t exactly huge, the living room is, with big windows and a kitchen that opens up into the living area. The apartment also has plenty of closet space. It’s close to the exclusive park, but alas, doesn’t come with a key.

Tribeca
What does $3,800 rent in Tribeca? A small studio, but one that comes furnished, in a condo building on Worth Street near Broadway. On the plus side, everything in the space is new, the kitchen is quite lovely, and amenities in the building include a roof deck.
