You can get a studio for less than that, maybe a 1br if you're lucky, or if you have roommates you can get a big ass 3-4br for like $900-1200 each. You won't be in Manhattan but who cares, the trains go everywhere at all times.
Toughest part would probably be nature because the city is so huge, but there are trains that go to beaches and state parks and stuff within like 60-90 min of the city
Plenty of places in deep Queens/Brooklyn that are less than an hour from Manhattan by train that have decent rent. Jackson Heights/Flushing is the most diverse place in the United States (and potentiality the world) and you can find studio apartments for around $1k.
