Given this week's theme, we thought we'd scour the listings for spaces that would work as a share. In a city where two-bedrooms are often paraded around as three-bedrooms, it's nice to see an actual three-bedroom that three people could live in comfortably.  All of the apartments below are true three-beds.

Ever wonder how much you’ll save living with roommates? Want to know how to pick good ones? So did we. We caught up with Matt Hutchinson, founder of SpareRoom, a roommate-matching site that launched in 2012, to find out.

HDFC co-ops can seem too good to be true, offering affordably priced co-ops in desirable New York City neighborhoods. And, according to an article on DNA Info, sometimes they just might be, after all.

This $2,500 first-floor one-bedroom, one-bath located at 25-56 38th Street in Astoria has outdoor space and looks like it's been recently renovated, complete with new kitchen appliances and hardwood floors in the bedroom. (Take a look at another garden-free $2,200 one-bedroom listed in the same building to get a sense of what this place might look like with furniture.)

The only part that could still use a little makeover: that garden.

Sure, there are lots of Brooklyn neighborhoods that are more exciting, but we still love Park Slope. The restaurants! The brownstone-heavy streets! And yes, the park! That's one of the reasons we're drawn to this $2,300 studio, which is Brooklyn-charm personified.
