Looking for a rental in New York and have a budget of $1,800 a month? You've probably already guessed that you won't find too many townhouses or sprawling lofts, but there are a lot of solid studios and one-bedrooms--a couple of honest-to-god two-bedrooms, too!--to be found in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Manhattan, with natural light, real storage space, and a few amenities, to boot.

New to the NYC renting game? Take a look at BrickUnderground’s handy How to Rent Guide. For added insight, check out our crash course on how to find an apartment, too.
