A Reader Writes: Is Finding A $1,500/m Harlem Two Bedroom A Reasonable Expectation?
It's been a while (thankfully!) since any of the humans or animals here at The Fur have had to look for a place, so when two readers wrote in asking about current Harlem rents, we didn't know what to say. But that doesn't mean that someone out there doesn't have the desired insight.
Here is what they ask:
We are two responsible young women seeking a 2 Bedroom Apartment in the Harlem area and MUST move in by the last week of September. We are willing to pay up to $1500/mo. We have ALWAYS paid our rent on time; we are very respectful of others' privacy and look for a positive environment with good energy.
Apartment Musts:
*Clean & modern
*Preferably with wood floors & a washer/dryer (not required)
*Within walking distance of the 2,3,A,C,E trainWe appreciate your response and/or ideas of where to find something we are looking for. THANK YOU!!!
So if anyone has an suggestions for these two quiet, professional women, please drop them in the comments section, or send them along directly to: suavelady4 [at] hotmail [dot] com

Also, you might want to warn her that she should check out a subway map before moving since the E train doesn't go anywhere near Harlem.

Try the Riverton Apartments on 135th and Madison. They are being renovated and one bedrooms cost about $1,500; not sure about two bedrooms.
