Looking for a big-city rental that won’t break the bank? This week, we take aim at NYC apartments for $2300. Budget-conscious renters will find plenty to choose from. We even skipped the studios to concentrate on 1-bedrooms. Which would you pick?

Space 1 bed, 1 bath
Neighborhood Carroll Gardens
Borough Brooklyn

StreetEasy shoppers are lining up (virtually) for this lovely NYC apartment for $2300. It’s the top floor of an owner-occupied townhouse in coveted Carroll Gardens. That’s a great setting, especially if big rental buildings aren’t your style. (And extra-especially if you’re a fan of legendary pizza joint Lucali!) Adorable prewar details and a king-size bedroom are top features. A new kitchen is tucked to the side. Darrin Cirillo and Daniel Craig at D’Andrea Craig are the listing agents.

Neighborhood Mott Haven
Borough Bronx

We wanted to make the final stop pop. This loft in Mott Haven, just across the river from Harlem, delivers! It’s set in the Clocktower, a development that shows off the South Bronx’s resurgence. The building is loaded with amenities: pool, sauna, roof deck, garden, parking! But let’s not forget the appeal of this massive NYC apartment for $2300’s interiors. It boasts 13-foot ceilings, whitewashed floors, and unbelievably huge windows. Concessions bring the net-effective rate below $2K. Listed by Lincoln Leasing.
