$1,700 Month Rent Gets You A "Living Room" Size Apartment (apartments, rentals)

[BugsyPal]

For all those moaning about how small lottery or whatever apartments are, well things are tough all over.

At $1,700 per month rent gets you on average 211 square feet in much of Manhattan and rest of city.

Things are slightly better in Queens where same money gets you a whopping (on average) 234 square feet.

Not even one needs space. Or material items.
What you choose to spend your money on may not be what others do.
Everyone values different things.

Anyone familiar with the rentals in the financial district. Lots of listings no fee, renovated.

Just grab your stuff and wait on the migrant lines and eventually Gov. Hochul will give you a free apt soon.

Yes, that's true! I think it's sad.

I lived on St.Mark's between 2nd and 3rd. It was a primitave tenement apartment, but it had a balcony, 1 bedroom, and it faces the street. Stores, bars, and restaurants were open almost all night.

It was $150 per month. NOW - https://streeteasy.com/building/31-s...place-new_york
