I have a large (for NYC) 2br with a full kitchen for under 3k. No in-unit laundry, but it's in the building basement. It's not a bad location, but I will say it is not a hip location. When my local train line isn't running due to maintenance it really sucks, but otherwise it's a quick tra in ride anywhere. Proximity to a subway station is also a big deal. You can be 20 stops from your favorite neighborhood, but if you have a 3 minute walk to the train it doesn't feel far at all.
