How much is a 1 or 2 bedroom in New York City?

I'm looking into moving to New York City and have been looking at apartments on craigslist.org. So far it looks like apartments are usually around $850-$1300 around Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Harlem. Is this a realistic price or should it be higher? Where else can I look for apartments, as in what cities, and websites? Also, just curious, Is Harlem part of Manhattan?

1. That sound about right for the borroughs. It'll be more then that in Manhattan.
2. Neighborhood makes a huge difference price. Check out FlyRig.com for more listings and use their market analysis tool ( http://www.flyrig.com/user/?navm=resources ) which breaks down apartment prices by borough, neighborhood, and apartment size. Their stats are based on latest market prices. ...and yes, Harlem is part of Manhattan (north of central park)
