From Craigslist, keep refreshing because new places come in constantly:

Manhattan:

Brooklyn:
http://newyork.craigslist.org/search/aap/brk?maxAsk=1000&query=studio

Queens:
http://newyork.craigslist.org/search/aap/que?maxAsk=1000&query=studio

Bronx:

Try changing your queries to lower rental prices. Also try 1 bedroom -- especially in the outter boroughs, 1 brs are sometimes as inexpensive as studios.

Basement: ground floor. From one of those Craigslist ads -- "This unit is located on the ground floor (1 flight down)" http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fee/268158598.html

Lots of folks looking to move to NYC ask questions here about housing prices that are difficult to answer because of the City's sheer size and diversity. Housing costs --including those in Manhattan-- are all over the place. It's only by actually living here for a few years, I think, and developing contacts and knowledge during that time, that one's going to learn what the real possibilities are. Many Manhattan apartments, for example, are rent-regulated, at rates substantially below market. Hard to find? Undoubtedly. But they are there. Subleases also happen. A friend of mine has a great rent-regulated studio apartment in the heart of the Village; his current rent is ~$600/month. He's sublet it several times when he was on an extended job out of town. The law allows him to do that for up to 2 years at a time and limits what he can charge his subtenant. Does he advertise? No.
