Boston rents are cheap!
From the Herald:
Studio apartments in New York’s most expensive borough went for an average of $1,995 a month last year, according to an analysis released Friday by Citi Habitats, a Manhattan rental brokerage firm. That’s up from $1,659 in 2002.
The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment shot up to $2,737, compared to $2,227 in 2002, and two-bedroom apartments climbed to $3,893, from $3,198 in 2002. Three-bedroom apartments saw the largest percentage increase: more than 36 percent, from $4,059 in 2002 to $5,534 last year.
Wow, $5534/mo to RENT a 3bd apt? The average family in Boston doesn't even EARN that much a month!
