A 1BR apartment in NYC for $700/mo in 2013? I can’t imagine such a thing exists unless it is in the far reaches of the lost Island of Staten.

You’re exceedingly lucky to rent a BR in an apartment where the LR is also rented out, in the Bronx, the lesser parts of Queens or the scarier parts of Brooklyn for $700/mo.

You know, I was ready to dispute this until I checked myneighborhood and found only one listing under $1000. Makes sense though. Housing prices are up and many of the older houses are being ripped Dow.

You have to be lucky to find someone renting out their kids old room or something, friend of a friend sort of thing.
