My (pretty large) 1 bedroom apartment in Midwood, Brooklyn is $1200/month.
I would think you could for sure find a basement studio apartment for $1000.
You may even be able to find a regular studio apartment in Midwood or Gravesend or Bensonhurst for $1000.
If you're willing to go to an area of Brooklyn that is not on a subway line (you'd need to take a bus to the subway), I bet you'd have an even easier time: Marine Park, Flatlands, Mill Basin, Georgetown, Bath Beach.
However, these areas will take you more than 45 minutes to get to Port Authority.

I'd definitely exhaust my subway line options first if I was in this situation. Those buses are way too much of a bother! It doesn't seem that bad until you realize how dependent you are on them and it's EVERYDAY.
Do the recent posters realize that this is a thread from 2014? In any case there are still a few studio apts. in some areas of Queens for approx. $1000 that include heat & hot water.
But isn't it just a matter of time before those other neighborhoods get overpriced as well?
Where are all the people who make less than $50,000.00 a year and have lived for over a decade in NYC moving to?
Thats pretty good if you could make it in NY on 50,000 or less living in NY.
