Looking for an affordable place to live in Manhattan? If your concept of "affordable" is flexible enough, you might check out this 140-square-foot apartment on the Upper West Side. Yes, that's 140 square feet. For $1375 a month. The bed barely clears the door, and the refrigerator is stacked above the bed. There is a toilet and a shower stall, tucked into different corners, without doors. Windows? Fageddaboudit! See more pictures, and a floor plan, at the real estate listing. -via Digg

Where I live, you can rent a four-bedroom house with a big yard cheaper than this.

Location, location, location! Pretty amazing if you think about the difference in accommodation you can get for the same price elsewhere.

Alan, see the listing. Walking distance to Central Park, the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center for Performing Arts. Also save a 2-hr commute to work if you have a job in the area. There's enough floor space to share with a roommate or two to split the cost - which includes utilities. (And you only have to walk up three flights of stairs...)
