This is The Listings, a monthly rundown (with pictures!) of some of the most over-the-top properties currently on sale in or around this fair(ish) city. This month, we’ve rounded up six on-the-market rental property to suit a number of budgets, from “I just got my first analyst job” to “I just moved into the corner office.”

Whether you live in a Brooklyn shoebox or a corner penthouse overlooking the Hudson — bring a guest into your home in New York and the first words out of their mouth are usually the same: “How much do you pay, if you don’t mind me asking?” 

If you would like your answer to that question to elicit impressed nods rather than scoffs, it’s good to always be doing your homework, such that you’re ready to pounce on a better opportunity next time the occasion arises.

Below, we’ve rounded up six solid NYC rentals at different price points to help you do that, each ready for the move-in right now.
