How Much Does It Cost To Rent or To Buy An Appartment In NYC?|100074

Hi folks! I would like to know the prices of buying or rent an appartment in New York meaning somewhere in Times Square or Wall Street and etc. Plz only ppl who know can answer this question!(10 points :)I live in Greece and I just want to know the price!Thank u!

Depends on the apartment...would be silly to throw out numbers based on no information.

You can _window shop_ on newyork.craigslist.org or on the online classified area of www.nytimes.com .

Estimates here are high. Rent: I_d say $1000-2000 for a studio, add $500 per additional bedroom, and it varies wildly by neighborhood. There are some $5000/mo. apartments, I paid $800/mo for a studio in Manhattan only a year ago. Brooklyn and Queens are cheaper.

Buy: The average apartment in New York is selling for more than $1 million now. Expect to spend $500,000 or more, and, again, it depends on the neighborhood.

Ballpark? To rent - anywhere from $2500 to $5000 a month or more - depending on square footage and specific neighborhood.

To buy? Average is 1.3 million, according to a news report I saw this morning on WNBC in New York. (www.wnbc.com - they might have the video)

Look on realtor.com
You can get an idea of either buying or renting. In some cases it will even show you pics of the apartment.

NYC about $3500.00 per month in rent

On the island of Manhattan, the average is slightly over 1 million dollars. In the other buroughs, it can be $650,000.

To rent in Manhattan, it can cost 3500 mo, in the other buroughs 1200 mo

Those are expensive areas, but assume that a Studio is about $800-1500 a month. A 1-bedroom would be about $1500-$3500 per month.

If you are willing to live in _Battery Park City_ which is just south of the Wallstreet area, you can get a nice 1 bedroom for $1800.
