In 2017 I was about to get a small 2 bedroom in Brooklyn with for $1550. I was one block from a subway station and 3 stops from Manhattan.

At the time I also found a similarly priced apartment but at last minute for some reason it was pulled the broker said. I don't think any amount of searching can find such deals now.
