While New York City is known for being an expensive place to live in general, housing prices vary by borough and can even be vastly different from one neighborhood to the next. The average rent in a Manhattan neighborhood known for trendy bars and shops will almost certainly be higher than in a family-friendly Staten Island neighborhood. Many factors, such as square footage, distance to public transportation, and overall location, greatly affect how expensive a neighborhood is. GBSN Research gathered data to perceive how rent prices vary between different neighborhoods within each borough and which areas have the highest and lowest rents. Out of a total of 5452 properties for rent in New York, NY. 1-bedroom apartments are the most common, accounting for 42% of all available listings, closely followed by 2-bedroom apartments (31%). 6-Bedroom apartments are the least common, with only two listings. In New York City, the median rent is $3,550 in Manhattan, $2,850 in Brooklyn, and $2,400 in Queens. The average rent in certain Manhattan neighborhoods is even higher, believe it or not. A month’s rent in the more desirable areas costs an average of $4,458. Three steps were taken to move from raw data to data that allowed us to achieve our goals: 1.
