I'm not sure all of the figures cited here match what I'm seeing. $1500 for a 3-BR in Staten Island seems far too low, unless you mean way deep down in Staten Island. Not in St. George or anywhere near the ferry terminal, where you'd be lucky to find a 1-BR for $1500. But on the other hand, I think you can do cheaper than $4000 for a 3-BR in Harlem, Washington Heights or Inwood. Your best bet is to check out craigslist.org and search the no-broker listings.
The main thing, though, is that apartments that big hardly exist in the city anymore. You might see things *advertised* as 3-BRs but they might turn out to be a 1-BR all divided up with partition walls like a rabbit cage. A friend in mine actually lived in such a place, a few years ago, in a building in Murray Hill that was beseiged day and night by traffic coming in and out of the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. The rent? A mere $3000.

I've seen some in acceptable areas of Brooklyn in the $2000 range but there is usually some problem with it so you should just expect to pay a lot more. I guess you might be able to find one in Manhattan for under $4000. It's really hard to say because sometimes they will list a place as a multiple bedroom apartment and 'forget' to add that there will be no living room. It's possible some of the bedrooms will be windowless. Also, a lot of these are railroad apartments where you have to walk through the middle of each room to get to the next. The kitchen may be on one end and the bathroom on another so nobody has any privacy.
A 'true' 3 or 4 bedroom apartment would actually be 5 or 6 rooms (or more). A lot of times, big apartments like that are found in places like the Upper East Side in luxury bulidings where they may be closer to $7000/month and up. Most of the time people own the nice apartments that size and they're worth millions.

You can get a three bedroom in many areas in Queens. Although usually that third bedroom is very small! They can run anywhere from $2000 and up.
In Manhattan, it is really hard to find those apartments and they would probably not be less than $3,000.
You might be able to find a big enough two bedroom and convert it. Friends of mine lived in a nice building on the Upper East Side and they cut off half of the living room for one extra bedroom and then made the dining room the other bedroom. There was only one bathroom, but it worked for them!

I live in Astoria, Queens, a vibrant neighborhood about 15 minute train ride or drive from midtown manhattan. It's right across the river. Three bedrooms go from 1500 (smallish bedrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen) up to about 2100 for larger, newer apartments. You can find these prices in brooklyn and the bronx as well. My dad is a real estate broker, so I know as a fact. Four bedrooms are a little harder to come by- but I just saw one (2 floors) for 2400.

That's a HUGE apartment by New York City standards, in the "outer boroughs" (the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island) you'd be paying about $ 3,000 a month (plus "utilities" -electricity, gas, telephone, cable and internet service).
In Upper Manhattan (Harlem & Washington Heights) you'd be paying about $ 4,000/month + utilities in Lower Manhattan (the rest of the borough - the more affluent part of Manhattan and the most wealthy part of the city) you'd probably pay at least $ 6,000/month + utilities.
Hey, it's very expensive to live here.

There are 2 diverse variations. the first one is the position you stay in a construction that's targeted through the Housing Authority, and also you pay 30 p.c. of your income as lease, they inform you the position you could stay, and also you may want to stay there see you later as your taxable income would not exceed the decrease imposed through the housing authority. the different section 8 is the position you could elect the position to stay, see you later because the owner accepts section 8. notwithstanding, this money gained't very last always, often you do ought to pay 30% of your income for a chosen era of time which could assist you come again on your ft. both classes are extremely perplexing to get into, and performance waiting lists that are a number of years lengthy. For a three mattress room, i might want to assume a 5 3 hundred and sixty 5 days waiting record for the first software, and the 2d software it relies upon their lottery equipment.
