With the housing market in flux as New York City reacts to the impact of COVID-19, renters have lots of interesting options right now. We took a look at apartments renting for around $4K in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens and found fantastic bang for the buck. Our top 5 listings all boast 2 bedrooms and in-unit washers and dryers, and most also offer a second bathroom and/or outdoor space to boot.

Live large and luxuriously 14 floors up at 5th on the Park. Our first great-value NYC apartment for $4000 is a pristine South Harlem condo that sprawls to 1,100 square feet.

The building’s many amenities include an indoor pool, sundeck, fitness center, and on-site parking. Jeff Krantz at Brown Harris Stevens is the listing agent.

This beautifully remodeled condo is a far cry from the Lower East Side’s tenement past! It’s a stylish place to call home in one of Manhattan’s most vibrantly revitalized neighborhoods. A dishwasher, in-unit laundry, and central air make it convenient and comfy. The modern kitchen and bathroom both sport gleaming subway tile, and the wall separating the two bedrooms can be removed to create a single huge one if desired. Crystal Zahedi and Joshua Lieberman at Douglas Elliman are the listing agents.
This bright 2-bedroom is located in a boutique prewar rental building in tree-lined Carroll Gardens.

A decorative fireplace and access to a private yard — with an apple tree! — all add up to a winner. Contact the owner on the listing for more info.
