While I've only had to move three times in the half decade I've lived in New York, one of said moves was to a large, four-person apartment full of people in their early 20s, and as such, I've had a revolving door of roommates. Ten of them, give or take an extra person who crashed in our Bushwick basement for a few months.

If you've got $4,500 a month to spend on rent you've got quite a few options in NYC, ranging from luxury one-bedrooms (and bachelor pads) to uptown roommate shares to outer-borough family affairs. As such, we've rounded up apartments currently on the market in your price range in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.

We wish brokers would stop treating struggling neighborhoods like the Wild West, but then, these $900 one-bedrooms in the "new frontier" of East New York are a pretty good deal... (Gothamist)
