Yorkville, the area from 72nd Street to 96th Street, and Third Avenue to the East River can be a great area if you're looking for great bargains. If you are willing to live a little bit "off the mark" you can get some very respectable deals.
Keep this tip in mind: the closer you live to a subway stop, the more you will pay because these are the most desirable locations (generally speaking -- there are always eceptions). Consider York, First, or Second Avenues. Also consider streets that are are inbetween subway stops. The subway stops that serve Yorkville are:
68th Street (local 6 train) Not technically Yorkville but services the area 77th Street (local 6 Train) 86th Street (express 4 and 5 trains/local 6 train) 96th Street (local 6 train)
Choose any street in the middle of these streets and your broker may just be able to find you a deal that you didn't expect to find.
