After THE WORST ROOMTumblrwent viral last week, everyone became aware of what New Yorkers have known forever — rent in NYC is absolutely insane.
New York real estate is so in demand that it isn't uncommon for people to share rooms, put up fake walls, and pay $1,000 a month for an apartment the size of a large closet.
So we asked Zillow, a U.S. home and real estate marketplace, to help us find some fantastic rentals around the rest of the country that can be had for under $1,000 a month.
Unsurprisingly, all of the apartments are pretty huge, and most have pools and fitness centers in the buildings.
