At 700 square feet, this 1-bedroom has two things going for it — it’s big, and it’s in the East Village. That’s why more than 140 StreetEasy shoppers call it a favorite. A clever layout enhances the apartment’s loft-like feel. So does that wall of windows in the expansive living room. No worries about storage here; three closets are conveniently placed throughout. The open kitchen has a dishwasher and a tiled eating area. Building amenities include a courtyard and laundry — win-win! Jesse Rhinier, Alexander Mecum, and Monica Jeyaprakash at Compass are the listing agents.

It’s time to head uptown to South Harlem for our second stop for NYC apartments for $3K. Grab a roomie and share this Park Place Condominium with 2-bedrooms, and heck yeah, 2-bathrooms, in style. The open kitchen sports a breakfast bar and dishwasher. Other features include gleaming hardwoods, recessed lighting, and an in-unit washer and dryer. The location is terrific, too, close to Marcus Garvey Park and bustling 125th Street. Belynda Hardin at Link NY Realty is the listing agent.

We stay uptown for our next 1-bedroom for $3K. This bright apartment is perfect for fans of prewar units that have retained some of their original architectural details. Glorious features, including beamed ceilings, refinished original hardwoods, and molding, set an elegant tone. The separate kitchen has a dishwasher and stone counters. The West End Avenue rental building offers a door attendant, elevator, and welcomes pets. Brian Totin at Corcoran is the listing agent.

Here’s a real deal in Williamsburg. This 2-bedroom is brimming with outstanding features, including 2-bathrooms and a private balcony you can share with a roommate — or not. Perhaps, best of all, both bedrooms fit a king bed. In contrast, the kitchen has no dishwasher, but it opens to a large living room with a bay window and an alcove — perfect for a dining nook or home office. Oh, we nearly forgot to mention the shared roof deck. David Malul at In House Group is the leasing agent.

We end our tour in Queens. This 2-bedroom for $3K shows off the best of beloved Jackson Heights. At 1,165 square feet, it’s downright oceanic, plus it boasts prewar charm and modern upgrades. The remodeled kitchen with breakfast bar is lined with stone counters, birch cabinets, and a dishwasher. And you got to love those arched doorways, foyer entry with a closet, refinished hardwoods, and built-in bookshelves. For your convenience, the building offers a shared laundry room and elevators. Rhoda Dunn and Kathleen Fallon at Compass are the listing agents.
