One Bedroom With No Fee in Sheepshead Bay
Price: $1,550
Location: East 17th Street
Description: Well, there’s no fee. The realtor doesn’t say exactly how big the bedroom is but notes that it “fits” a king-sized bed. The realtor also described the kitchen as “beautiful kitchen stock.” I guess she hasn’t made the transition from selling horses to apartments.

One Very Yellow Bedroom in Midwood
Price: $1,525
Location: Ocean Parkway
Description: Oh wow, look at those pictures. The rooms are all very yellow. But don’t let that fool you, that’s not the yellow sunlight; it’s the light-bulb. The apartment makes many claims – like a brand new kitchen – but the lack of pictures leaves you wondering. While we’re on the topic of wondering, I always wish they would include an actual picture of the super they say is on-site. Preferably, I’d like him to have a Stalin-like mustache and giving a double thumbs up.

Two Bedrooms in Brighton Beach
Price: $1,800
Location: Brighton 7th Street and Brightwater Court
Description: Not only does this apartment have a microwave but it also has a dishwasher so you could go all out for your housewarming party and dazzle your wide-eyed guests with the power of modern appliances. The bedrooms have been renovated and they both have two windows and that’s a real plus considering that a friend of mine has been struggling to find an apartment with sufficient, or any, sunlight. Good luck!

Three Bedroom Duplex in Gravesend
Price: $2,500
Location: 707 Desmond Court
Description: There’s a one-month broker fee and the place is only available for one year. Heat and electric are not included. The realtor writes that there is a backyard, but there are no pictures to show its size. The house is also completely furnished so feel free to test that new backyard out by building a bonfire out of your new furniture.
