KIPS BAY, MANHATTAN: A recently renovated two-bedroom, two-bath with large windows, new kitchen appliances and cabinetry, and lots of closets in an elevator building with a 24-hour concierge, a live-in resident manager, a fitness center, a landscaped private park, and a children’s playground at 330 East 33rd Street (between First and Second avenues). $5,000/month

Confused about what sort of apartment you can afford to rent based on your salary? Simple: You need to make 40 times the monthly rent in order to qualify for a given unit. So if you make $200,000 a year (either as a single person or as a household), you’ll be able to swing a place for $5,000 a month tops.

Here are 10 apartments across New York City that could be yours for that price, including a renovated Kips Bay two-bedroom, a DUMBO loft with nine-foot ceilings, and a five-bedroom unit with two balconies in Riverdale.
