If you're looking for a New York City apartment with a country feel, this studio, 35-21 79th St., #3G, in Jackson Height's Historic District may fit the bill. It's listed at $1,850 a month, which is a bit higher than the neighborhood's median for studios, currently $1,625, according to StreetEasy. But, you're getting a lot of space (with lots of personality), and it's renovated.
Located in a co-op building built in 1948, there's 82 units across six floors. Amenities include a live-in super, elevator, laundry facilities, and communal garden. In apartment 3G, you'll find hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, several windows, and rustic touches.
Renting in a co-op can be trickier because you have to interview with the board, which can slow down the process. Be sure to ask about the building's rental policy, because many co-ops limit how long owners can rent out their apartments. If you're renting in a well-managed co-op, you may find some advantages over similarly priced rental buildings, like more space or a doorman.
The foyer has rustic wood panels, shelving, and storage. And it's big enough to double as a seating area.
The eat-in kitchen has stainless steel appliances and wood counters.

The bathroom has a vessel sink on a wood counter—and has a wooden valance which doubles as the shower's curtain rod.
The west-facing living space is large enough to separate your sleeping area from your entertaining space, and has tons of windows.
