Looking for a rental in New York that's $2,000 or under? If you're looking in Manhattan (and most of Brooklyn) you'll find a lot of studios and one-bedrooms, but move further out to Queens, Staten Island, and even Sunset Park, and you can still score a family-sized home, complete with backyard.

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.

Think you might need a guarantor? See if the landlord accepts Insurent, a guarantor solution from one of BrickUnderground’s partners.
