The first thing to know about this  $2,000 Hamilton Heights "three- bedroom" is that it's really more of a two-bedroom with an office, since there don't seem to be any windows in that third room. But even so,  the apartment's very reasonably priced, considering the median rental price for two-bedrooms in the area sans office is $225 more.

For those who want to live in the middle of it all, this $2,500 co-op on 14th Street between Fifth and Broadway may just be the perfect fit — assuming you can wait until May 1 to move in.

While technically the apartment is in the Flatiron area, it's right on the edge of the West Village and Gramercy, which means what you lose in square footage, you'll make up for in, well, the centered-ness of it all. Restaurant and shopping choices abound in this neighborhood. 

Remember "Ugly Naked Guy" from "Friends"? For some New Yorkers, he's all too real. Over on Apartment Therapy, a reader asks what to do about his neighbor who prefers to be in the buff, and is rather visible from his kitchen window.

The first thing to do, according to advice columnist Alice, is to make sure the nudist neighbor knows he's in full view. Don't print out a huge sign that says "I see your junk!" Instead, maybe smile or make eye contact (hopefully while he's clothed).
