I've been here since 2004 and have lived in a one bedroom in the West Village for $1700, a one bedroom in the East Village for 1750, a one bedroom in Cobble Hill for 1500, a huge 3 bedroom share in Harlem which my share was 900, a one bedroom with a dining room and a backyard as big as the apartment for 1900 in Carroll Gardens, a luxury building in mid-town for 3500 and a two bedroom share in Greenpoint in which my share was 1200. East Village, Downtown, and Harlem were sublets I was renting while bouncing back and forth between NYC and Oklahoma while my father and mother were going through illnesses and traveling alot for work, the others I left because I wanted more space, to be closer to certain neighborhoods or because the new apt was better than the last. None were illegal shares, none were rent controlled, one was rent stabilized, and all were very nice.
