| | Photo: Richard Rojas | | Though the pickings continue to be slim, we found worth-it units of all sizes on the Upper East Side this week, from a south-facing studio to one- and two-bedrooms only a few minutes' walk from the Q train to a renovated three-bedroom, two-bath apartment with a wide balcony overlooking East 60th Street. There are also a bunch of under-$2,000 picks this time around, including an 800-square-foot rent-stabilized one-bedroom in Ridgewood for $1,800. | 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?
