Soho
A two-bedroom in a townhouse just below Houston Street is renting for an even $4,100/month. Though it’s not as mod as some of the other units featured here, it’s got plenty of character. One thing it’s not lacking is storage space—there are walls of closets that lead to one of the bedrooms, and the kitchen has plenty of cabinets.

Downtown Brooklyn
And finally, a two-bedroom in a new Downtown Brooklyn building is going for $4,125/month.
