South Street Seaport
A two-bedroom in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge is going for $7,995/month. The loft-like pad is pretty big—around 1,500 square feet—and has a wide open common area, two bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, and a private patio. It can be rented furnished, and, uh, “is perfect for a ‘player’ looking to grab life by the horns and hold on for an unbelievable ride!” (So says the brokerbabble.)

Greenpoint
In Greenpoint, $8,000/month (well, $7,985/month, to be precise) will get you a three-bedroom in the Greenpoint, one of the neighborhood’s new developments that’s popped up in recent years. In addition to those three bedrooms, the apartment has one and a half bathrooms, new appliances, and a balcony. The Greenpoint NYC Ferry landing is a short walk from the building.

Tribeca
A two-bedroom, corner unit in a Tribeca rental is going for $7,995/month. The apartment has big windows, a not-as-big kitchen, and a nifty windowed alcove that’s currently used as a dining room. The building is located on Duane Street between Broadway and Church streets, with plenty of neighborhood amenities and transit nearby.

Park Slope
Head to Park Slope, where an enormous triplex with five bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms is going for $8,000/month. It’s located within a townhouse in the Park Slope Historic District that dates back to the late 19th century, and while some of the original details remain, it’s been updated with new appliances, a laundry room, and more.
