While $3,000 a month isn’t a huge budget when it comes to NYC rentals, it’s enough to afford you studios and even one- and two-bedroom apartments in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Queens and the Bronx offer even more space, and many of the apartments for rent across the boroughs don’t even carry a broker’s fee (you can thank this slow time of year for that).

UPPER EAST SIDE, MANHATTAN: A furnished, renovated one-bedroom condo with exposed brick, high ceilings, and stainless steel appliances in a pet-friendly building with a live-in super and on-site laundry at 237 East 88th Street (between Second and Third). $3,000/month

UPPER WEST SIDE, MANHATTAN: A renovated one-bedroom co-op with crown and baseboard moldings and a windowed kitchen in a prewar building at 442 Amsterdam Avenue (between West 81st and West 82nd). $3,000/month (no dogs)

EAST VILLAGE, MANHATTAN: A prewar two-bedroom, one-bath with exposed brick, track lighting, and a windowed eat-in kitchen one flight up in a pet-friendly building at 300 East Second Street (between Avenue C and Avenue D). $3,000/month
