The cheaper ones you've seen, maybe... I live on Newark Ave (btw. Jersey & Barrow), not a luxury apartment, but I have a w/d in unit, central heat & air, lots of space, and a small secure foyer for packages. I pay less than $2k. About a year ago a broker I know was trying to rent a 1BR above the Pet Shop for $1800 (definitely not luxury). But there are deals around, have to look in the right places
