| | Photo: Allyson Lubow | | This week, we uncovered 1,000-square-foot apartments at fairly reasonable price points, including this $1,795 prewar one-bedroom in Forest Hills (and right by trains), a $2,850 renovated two-bedroom in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens with a forest-green kitchen, and a $3,750 Park Slope three-bedroom less than a block from Prospect Park. Also of note: a quirky loft near Union Square (pictured above) with two bookshelves that almost reach the 13-foot-high ceilings. | Listings Edit is Curbed's Thursday digest of particularly worth-it apartments for rent in New York City. Each week, we carefully sort through hundreds of rentals (across listing sites, newsletters, and Craigslist), keeping an eye out for places that are truly worth their asking price — whether that's an under-$2,000 one-bedroom (that truly is a one-bedroom) or a $7,000 Beaux-Arts townhouse with a spiral staircase and three functioning fireplaces. | Did someone forward you this email?

woodwork around the doors and windows, and a clawfoot tub in the bathroom (which also has an exposed-brick wall and tin ceilings). | $2,450: Bright two-bedroom on Gates Avenue right near Tompkins Avenue with 1.5 baths (each with a window), a living room with an exposed-brick wall and space for a dining table, a dishwasher in the updated kitchen, and yard access. | $2,480: Renovated brownstone

apartment (a three-minute walk from the Myrtle–Wyckoff Avenues L/M trains) with two similarly spacious bedrooms as well as a living room with an updated kitchen on one end, two large windows on the other, and apparently enough space to comfortably house a rather elaborate cat tree. | $4,500: 900-square-foot one-bedroom — with tons of exposed brick and beams, a 60-inch wall-mounted TV, and a farmhouse sink — on the fourth floor of an 1800s converted firehouse once home to Andy Warhol. | $2,650: Three fairly large bedrooms (each with a brick wall and space for desks and dressers), a renovated open kitchen (with a dishwasher and island), plus a washer-dryer and central AC. | $3,400: 1,800-square-foot gut-renovated three-bedroom, two-bath duplex with a truly enormous living room (it has tray ceilings with tons of recessed lights and at least six huge windows), a rare separate laundry room with built-in shelves, and a freestanding utility sink plus a private backyard. | $2,100*: Pretty spacious and well-lit alcove studio a block under Tompkins Square Park, with exposed-brick walls, parquet floors, a windowed blue-tiled bathroom, lots of storage in the bedroom area,

doorways, an arched, recessed built-in shelf, and parquet and herringbone floors) right by both the Forest Hills-71 Avenue E/F trains and the Forest Hills LIRR stop. | $2,150: Efficient studio in a brick townhouse (just a minute from the Lafayette Avenue C train), with three windows in the 18-foot-wide living area and stainless-steel appliances (including a dishwasher). | Greenwich Village/West Village | $2,700: Just a nice true one-bedroom on MacDougal Street with French doors, wall moldings, and a classic black-and-white-tiled windowed bath. | $15,000: Sprawling duplex on West 13th Street — with three king-size bedrooms, 2.5 baths (all with heated floors), and a working fireplace — that once rented for as high as $19,000. | $1,330: Rather cute rent-stabilized studio with three large windows and a decorative fireplace, on a mostly townhouse block around the corner from the Grange. | $2,175*: 900-square-foot corner two-bedroom on West 134th Street with high ceilings, an updated

Prospect-Lefferts Gardens | $1,624: Newly renovated one-bedroom with a rather Scandinavian white-and-gray color scheme in the kitchen and bathroom on Lefferts Avenue just off New York Avenue. | $2,850: 1,100-square-foot renovated two-bedroom with several arched doorways, an especially wide hallway (one wall of which is currently entirely covered with bookshelves), and refreshingly bold paint jobs throughout (the living-room walls are a rich pink while those of the renovated double-windowed kitchen are forest-green, and cabinets and some pocket French doors and base moldings are painted black). | $1,900 (net effective: $1,742): Plain but relatively spacious apartment on York Avenue near East 73rd Street with two windows and double closets (plus additional open shelves) in the bedroom and a windowed galley kitchen. | $1,995*: Almost at the river on East 73rd Street, but a true one-bedroom with an especially large eat-in kitchen (which has two windows, a dishwasher, and

in order of ascending price. Didn't see anything from the neighborhood you're interested in? We'll try to include a wide range of locations as new units come up. To keep this list fresh, we're removing listings that have not been rented after two weeks (and will put an asterisk next to holdovers from the previous week). | Never miss a story from Curbed Subscribe now. | | | |
