A budget of $2,500 to $3,000 a month in rent will nab you a prime apartment just about anywhere in the borough. As you might expect, the number of bedrooms will vary according to geography.

You will find studios and one-bedrooms at that price point in areas such as Dumbo, Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn. In areas ranging from central Brooklyn to southern Brooklyn, you’re more likely to find two- and three-bedroom apartments for $2,500 to $3,000 a month.

We found a diverse array of apartments, six in all, that meets budgets of $3,000 and under without making any compromises for space or quality. Located in some of Brooklyn’s most prime areas, these listings offer prewar charm or modern construction, stunning views and plenty of light and air.

The units are in a diverse range of neighborhoods, including Cobble Hill, Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights in the brownstone belt and, near the shore from north to south, Williamsburg, Columbia Street Waterfront District and Bay Ridge.
