This over-1,100-square-foot two-bedroom condo  (which was converted into a one-bedroom) is in the heart of Long Island City and features a gianormous terrace.

We think it's safe to say that most New Yorkers feel they've given something up to live in this city. And those of us in the 99 percent often find ourselves in apartments that leave us wanting more... sometimes much more.

On that theory, we've made a habit of asking NYC apartment dwellers to reveal the one thing they would change about their apartment if they could in our Room for Improvement series, the focus of this week's SurvivaList roundp.

This Greenpoint, Brooklyn condo is available for $2,800 per month. And it's got all the amenities you'd expect in a new condo building in an up-and-coming neighborhood.

It was a pretty buggy summer, but just because that season is fading doesn't mean critters are gone altogether.

In fact, some pests (like rodents) move indoors during the winter to stay warm, which is why we're dedicating this week's SurvivalList roundup to posts that help you deal with unwanted rommates.

This $3,950 one-bedroom, one-bath is located at 390 First Avenue, near 23rd Street, in the town-within-in-a-city known as Peter Cooper Village.
