I grew up in New York City, but left for school and haven't lived there since. This puts me in the unique disadvantage of knowing what "funky" means in a real estate listing (every fixture, wall and floorboard will piss you off at the least opportune time) while not actually being accustomed to what New York renters have to put up with. Searching for a summer sublet, I found these choice bargains, all of which cost more than $1,200/mo:
Located on the "Fifth Avenue of the Bronx" - steps to Yankee Stadium and public transportation to Manhattan. Renovated kitchen & bath.2br - ♥♥ Sleeps 8+
You'll love coming home to this peaceful enclave of historic Victorian and Edwardian mansions, while the Q train speeds you into midtown Manhattan in under 40 minutes!
Please note: this apartment is authentic east village, which means it's quirky! It's a 6-floor walk-up, so not for the faint of heart. The plumbing is tenement style--the toilet has a room to itself, while sink and shower are in the kitchen.
Those are just listings that were promising enough to click on...
