232 Bainbridge St., Apt. 2, Bedford-Stuyvesant
Rent: $1,700 per month
Two roommates: $850 per roommate
Though one bedroom is slightly larger than the other, both fit double beds and they don’t share a wall—the light-flooded living room and a brand-new, dishwasher-equipped kitchen separate the two. Added bonus: Apartment dwellers have access to a communal garden.

224 Wythe Ave., Apt. 72D, Williamsburg
Rent: $5,100 per month
Three roommates: 1,700 each
The three bedrooms in this loftlike duplex are similarly sized, which makes divvying up the space fairly painless. Two bathrooms, stainless-steel kitchen appliances, floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, and an in-unit washer and dryer are the other big draws, not to mention it’s only five blocks to the Bedford L stop.

601 W. 137th St., Apt. 45
Rent: $4,200 per month
Four roommates: $1,050 each
This 1,449-square-foot gut-renovated prewar apartment in Manhattanville has four proper bedrooms (with double closets in each), two marble-vanity bathrooms, and enough common space for a sizable dining-room table. No need to fight over dirty plates, either—the kitchen is dishwasher-equipped.
Brokers: Virginia Incalcaterra and Robert Earl, MNS
