 | ![]() | | Photo: James Smolka | | | | On the hunt for two-bedroom deals? This week we managed to find a handful of two-bedroom apartments priced under $2,500, including one in a Bed-Stuy townhouse near the G train and another in Harlem right above Central Park. Meanwhile in Prospect Heights, $5,995 a month can get you a three-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex with a wood-burning fireplace, a separate dining room, and a large private roof deck. | | 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. | | Want more on real estate, city life, and design?

Actually went for: $3,800 (the apartment is a sixth-floor walk-up, which is ultimately hard to get someone to commit to, per listing agent Matthew Gros-Werter. "If this unit was on the third or fourth floor, I could get $4,500 for it," he says.) | | There were more than 100 inquiries, but ultimately only 15 showed up for a viewing.
