I paid $3.5k for a 1BR in the village in 2019, which was a very good deal at the time. Rents have increased dramatically since then. Maybe time to update your p

  Assuming you mean West Village, $3.5k is still feasible[1]. So is East Village[2]. I'd say that both of those areas are a little overheated right now, and were in 2019 as well. And rents definitely have gone up; I think I saw around $2.5k as the norm in 2018 for the East Village, when I considered renting there.

    You’ll notice nearly all of the west village ones are studios. My old apartment was like 600 sq ft and laid out really well with a fully separate bedroom, living room, and large kitchen. Nothing is those listings comes close. Just checked on street east and rent is now 4500-4800.

      Sure; the market has definitely gotten tighter. There's a reason I don't live there! That being said, here's a 650 sq ft rental in the East Village that sounds a lot like yours[1], at $3150. Previous listing was at $2.6k, and I suspect the current heat isn't going to last.
