What is the average rent for a apartment in new york?
“YOU NEED TO BE MORE SPECIFIC”. No, you do not. You obviously mean New York City and/or surrounding area because if you didn’t you would have said what part of NY you meant. There is New York Metro (Tri-State Area), and then there is the rest of the state. Everything in the area I mentioned, which consists of NYC (meaning all five boroughs), Westchester, parts of Long Island that border Queens, parts of CT that border Westchester and parts of NJ that are within commuting distance to NYC will be expensive because of the following reason: YOU CAN GET TO NYC QUICKLY FROM THOSE AREAS. The rents are all based on that. Manhattan will be the most expensive, averaging about $3,000 a month for something decent. Go live in Queens, Brooklyn or the Bronx where you can still get to Manhattan quickly on the subway and will pay less rent. Just make sure you know what type of neighborhood you are moving to. Try Brooklyn Heights. It’s great; not too much cheaper than Manhattan but a bit.
