2 bedroom for under 2K -- where in Manhattan

lol

You should be able to get a 2 bedroom floor-through in a brownstone in Harlem for this price - about 1000 square feet. It wouldn't go through a management company though.

if east harlem is an option you shouldn't have any problem if you spend some time looking. this one is listed by corcoran and has income limitations ($134k for 2 bed) but has one month free.

Aboutready/alanhart, way to tell jimnutz to stfu.

Jimnutz, yes I agree, it's crazy that there aren't brokers asking for 15% when I go grocery shopping. What r the consumers thinking?

not sure if you'd consider other neighborhoods, but I've seen more than one 2 bed, not too far from the trains, on the upper east side. Much cheaper than the east village.

Wow, I'm really feeling all the love! So I AM going to be able to score an under 2K 2 bedroom for my college son and myself in a 'hood that's not too, too hoody (I've done the hood and I love it, but son and I need more good restaurant options). Thank you, dear lovely streeteasy folk. And w67th keeps everyone sexually titillated --- that works, too.

jim_hones10 typical broker prick....laughing. Even if this were not possible laughing would still be inappropriate.

I'm also looking for something of exactly the same description, but in INWOOD. I KNOW there are rentals in this area, for the right price (under $2K/month) but I already live in the area, and want to move within a pretty limited area (Seaman Ave./Isham/Cooper/207th St., etc.). If anyone knows of anything GREAT that fits that description (or has any other sound advice) please BRING IT ON!

Check out Morningside heights by Columbia. I saw some posters for 2 bed/bath.

laughing because unlike most of you, i have seen two beds for 2k and less....and they aren't nice apartments.

will be interested in what the op has to say after actually getting out and seeing some of these places as opposed to "looking" for them online. my strong bet is uptown, or very far east on the ues.

You can definitely find in East Harlem for around 2K. I'd look for places between 96th and 105 close to Lex.

It's just the reality of the market.
We talk about buying is too expensive relative to renting
BUT, renting is pretty expensive...

rhino i just reported your abusive language to streeteasy. hopefully they will ban you the way they have columbiacountry. shame on you

He's a leasing agent, not a broker.

splaken, im not a leasing agent. im a broker who concentrates a lot more on the property side of the business.

rhino who is talking down to anyone? aren't you a millionaire? have you ever seen a 2k per month two bedroom apartment? i have. anywhere south of 96th st, they suck. by any standards.

Is thumbing your nose at someone who is trying to work on a budget and put their kid up during college a side gig?

"floor-through" fancy way of saying "railroad apartment". do you like walking through someone else's room to get to the toilet? or how about out in the hallway, and back in your front door? shame on anyone who calls these layouts two bedrooms.
but yeah, you can probably find one for 2k per month.

East Harlem and Manhattan Valley are not south of 96th. If you are going to "LOL" like a teenage queen bitch, at least read.

who can't read now?

i didn't miss it. i chose to focus on the fact that they will definately be above 96th and a lot more marginal than they would like. and no matter where, crappy crappy crapppy.

i am a broker, yes. and if you want to call me a cunt, go ahead. everytime you do, i'll flag it and hopefully get you removed from here. if not, no big deal. but you must have issues you need to deal with of your own.

my guess is your lease is up, and the apartment you want now comes with a 15% fee attached to it, and it's making you very hostile having to fork over your cash to someone like me

honesy calling someone out for calling someone names. that's rich.

Especially when he snickered at the OP for only being able to afford Harlem. Pretty low, but of course this sort of reaction reveals quite a bit about his motivations and anxieties.

"above 96th and a lot more marginal than they would like."

Imbecile, in the OP's very first post he specifies East Harlem as one place he's looking. What Manhattan neighborhood do you consider more marginal than East Harlem? Do you even live in New York?

In case you haven't noticed, honesy is comm1 is rufus. He's said many things that pretty clearly demonstrate that he isn't actually a broker, but rather just a troll.

i'm in a 2 bedroom at 84th and amsterdam that i'm vacating on july 31st. the management company is time equities: check it out!

oops, forgot to mention that it's $2000/month

do i live in ny? is that joke? i do and have for a very long time. i recognize that the op said he/she would like to look in east harlem, but also noted that he/she said " in a 'hood that's not too, too hoody (I've done the hood and I love it, but son and I need more good restaurant options)" when was the last time you went to east harlem for the restaurants alanhart?

The only joke here is you.

AH, I wonder if he even knows what restaurant one would go to in East Harlem.

inonada, you've got me. i don't go 60 blocks uptown for dinner. where do you go to eat regularly in east harlem?

"jim_hones10 typical broker prick....laughing. Even if this were not possible laughing would still be inappropriate."

"rhino i just reported your abusive language to streeteasy. hopefully they will ban you the way they have columbiacountry. shame on you"

I agree with Rhino, this was a prick comment. Feel free to report me as well. Can I report you for being a prick?

sure go ahead. i notice that rhino hasn't chimed in for a while. perhaps he had to come up with a new name, JUICEMAN?

Yeah, I don't get it. TOP says Harlem is an option. Given that, its clearly possible to get a 2 bd for 2k. I have a brand new (built 2009) 2/2 1100 SF with W/D in unit w doorman for $2610 net on a 26 month lease, no fee. The Glenwood building a bit north had a 2/2 in a doorman GLENWOOD as I mentioned bldg for $2200. So if this is what the nicer units go for in East Harlem, imagine how easy it is to get a 2/1 in a walk up.

jason, hi. just went to glenwoods website and i didn't see a two bedroom listed ANYWHERE on the ues for less than 4k per month. so i guess you are full of shit

http://www.glenwoodnyc.com/Streamline?p=viewPage.jsp&id=45&bedroom=2.0&nhood=Upper+East+Side&price=1

do you think that information isn't available? you might have gotten your's last year for around 3k and then netted out a free month or two, but those days, as i have said, are over.

you can definately get a VERY UGLY BADLY LOCATED DARK AND DANGEROUS two bedroom apartment for around 2k per month. it is absolutely possible. jason, you are very very correct in that. especially in harlem.

i remember that when i was learning how to drive that a gallon of gas cost me 90 cents, so i am sure i could find gas for that price now.

It's official, you can't spell and you suck at your "job."
I'm not even a broker and I found a Glenwood 2/2 for $2,475 on 102nd street. It took me about 10 seconds. Are you sure you live in New York?

http://www.glenwoodnyc.com/Streamline?p=viewPage.jsp&id=49&bedroom=2.0&nhood=West Side&price=1&lid=24

this one, found it too. not used to having to use a shitty website like theirs.

what 25% above what the op says they can pay?

25% above what she says she can pay NET i could add.

The OP probably doesn't want to rent from Glenwood anyway, unless he wants to fight for his security deposit.
I had 2 points: 1- you were wrong about nothing under 4k for Glenwood, and 2- Jason was right, that if a Glenwood 2/2 can be had for $2,475 pre-negotiation, itshouldn't be too hard to find a decent 2/1 walkup for $2,000.

i agree completely. as i have said REPEATEDLY here, you can definatley find a two bedroom in marginal location like east harlem. that isn't in doubt. pleasant? i wouldn't think very. and let's not kid ourselves, if the op could afford a glenwood building or equivelant, they'd probably rent in one.

It's a good thing you went into management, Danny boy. Bitter, burnt-out and useless is no way to succeed in a sales job.

Are you developmentally disabled, borker boy? OP very clearly specified "I'm looking for a bottom of the market 2 bedroom" ... so if a newish luxuryish Glenwood 2/2 is $2500, imagine what a
***BOTTOM OF THE MARKET***
place would be in the same neighborhood.

Are you this bad at listening to your own clients' specs? Yes. Then you should become a licensed borker.

"i notice that rhino hasn't chimed in for a while. perhaps he had to come up with a new name, JUICEMAN?"

Yes, people confuse us all the time

The OP will never find a 2BR in the West Village for $2K. Sure, you'll see them advertised, but talk to me after you go see them. One BR will be the kitchen with a cushion on to of the stove and sink, the other will be a Murphy bed toilet seat combo. Trust me, I've seen them. You'll be running back to your broker begging for help.

No sir, I bet you're going to end up in Manhattan Valley, East Harlem, or East Village/Loisaida on that budget.

Definately.

Jim, you are quickly becoming nothing more than a very annoying troll on this board.

OP, I am an owner who has 2 walk up buildings with 2 bedrooms in the 2K range. One is in ABC city, the other in the LES, but there are not any availabilities for the foreseeable future. Not only that, but we rent them directly for no fee, so neither of us have to deal with brokers.

What am I telling you this for if I don't have any available? Just to let you know that they are out there...Keep looking...

> Jim, you are quickly becoming nothing more than a very annoying troll on this board.

When was he anything else?

It's me, OP. Guess what? I'm finding stuff! And some of it is actually nice! The market is soft enough ------ I've got good credit and secure income so I'm a desirable prospect -- that of course helps.
So I've been hemming and hawing a bit, and one excellent rental almost immediately offered my concessions ---- owner would pay the broker's fee, request for last month's rent would be dropped .....
Anyway, it's a bit of a search, but I'm finding pretty decent possibles ...............
And I don't have a move-in date so I can do this slowly and in as relaxed a way as possible.

I have 2 nice two bedrooms NO FEE on East 118th St - $1750 PER MONTH and another in Washington Heights near Columbia Presbyterian -$1475 per month (6th Fl walkup).

Contact me via e-mail of you have any interest in seeing these two apts @ rw.wandw@gmail.com.

@ Alec Hall: 200?

This one is close to your price point.
