Welcome to Central Park North! The first of our 3BRs under $3K is a beauty, in an elevator building with laundry that’s just three blocks from the park. The interior is configured for hanging out or entertaining, with the bedrooms separate from a big main living area. The open kitchen has a long breakfast bar, lots of cabinet space, and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. Listed by Roger Dunkelbarger of Bohemia Realty.

You definitely won’t be cramped in this apartment, with 10-foot ceilings and 1,100 square feet. Not only does the kitchen have lots of space for cooking, it also includes the envy of all New Yorkers: an in-unit washer/dryer. To one side are generous living and dining areas, and to the other are the bedrooms and bath. Plus you’re just two blocks from the park and steps from the restaurants of Frederick Douglass Boulevard.

Here we have yet another bright, spacious 3BR under $3K, with laundry included! You’ll also find new stainless appliances, including a dishwasher, in the gleaming open kitchen. And there are two full bathrooms, so you’ll never have to fight your roomies for the shower. One month free on an 18-month lease brings the net-effective rent down to $2,455. That’s just $818 per person — wow. Listed by Levy Tewel and William Modeste of Compass.

This 3BR under $3K is one flight up and sandwiched by green space in almost all directions. It’s got Marcus Garvey Park two blocks north, Morningside Park to the west, and Central Park to the south. A narrow, twisting entry hallway allows for large bedrooms with lots of closet space. Plus, there are tons of windows and a pass-through kitchen with stainless appliances and granite counters.

Our final option is just steps from both Morningside Park and the northwest corner of Central Park. While it’s slightly above price point, an offer of two months free on a 12-month lease brings the net-effective rent down to $2,583. Each of the three bedrooms here is large enough for a queen-size bed and a desk. That will make working from home a lot easier than crowding around a dining table! Plus there’s an elevator, in-unit laundry, and a brand-new kitchen. Listed by Kayla Pitsilos of Vertical Real Estate.
