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.

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.
