NYC is ultra expensive and you get hardly any sq footage for the money.

$3,141,592,654 a month! (Park avenue) - pretty irrational, NO?

Expect to pay at least $2000/mo for something nice. We rented a short term (2 months) furnished apartment thru www.nyhabitat.com - recommended.

Your nice and my nice must be different. You can't get shit in NYC for less than $4k a month.

3-5k/month is fucking expensive..
i wonder how much will cost an apartment with 2 rooms to buy and how many people from the 20.000k people that live in new york have they own apartment

I was paying 1400/mo for a studio before I left Manhattan in 2000. The same place is going for around 2000/mo now.

A lot of the full time residents of Manhattan are living in rent controlled housing or lucked out. I have a friend who was on a waiting list for cheap housing for 5 years before a new building opened up in the East Village, 2BR, plenty of room for his wife and 2 kids, and he's paying $480/mo. Makes me cry, but good for them. It's a fuckin' nice building, too.

Insane prices.

Some of those places really suck. You need to pay like $5-6K for a nice place in NYC.

With that kind of money in Scotland, I can own a 6 bedroom house with double garage and huge garden!

Here's just a look at what $4000 a month could get you in Scotland

And we think our house prices are expensive :)

Holy shit http://www.nyhabitat.com/new-york-price.html

What'd you expect? It's NYC.

These are pretty cheap.

If anyone wants a great deal on a 2 bedroom in Queens let me know.

By buddy has a 950sq ft apartment in NoHo, they just had it appraised at 1.25 million, so you do the math. NYC is insane with their prices, luckily they picked it up along time ago for $159,000 when there was no NoHo and it was the worst area in NYC to own. A good apartment in NYC is going to run you $3-4k a month

I paid 4k a month to live in a 2/2 in manhattan for 4 months.

alot of fucking money. what part of Manahattan?

a lot of place are expensive as hell, and still not the safest places to live

no fucking way I would live in NYC. Too many people for 1, and then the prices are fucking crazy.

If is so fucking expensive to rent or buy an apartment in NY how can aford 20.000k people to live there?

How can aford the people that work on McDonald's in NY to live there? How much win someone that work on McDonalds in NY for example?

you can just rent a room from someone, cheaper then renting a whole apartment

Hey, I've got a good friend looking for a condo or single family in Queens. He's been looking on realtor and he's doing drive by's. Last time I spoke with him, he plans on going to the court of records and trying to pick something up that way. He's cool with rehab

They usually don't live in NY itself

very expensive

if you know guys you can find some reantals with rent control

need inside information

too much money in NY small room 10X8 could cost you 600$

NYC is the coolest place to live during the day & party at night, & the shittiest place to sleep off a hangover, fucking 5-6am horns blaring, jack hammers repairing sidewalks. Waiting 20 minutes to get your car outta some sorta elevator lift only to find scratchs.

Fuck NYC, i got a love/hate with it.

Love the taxi drivers, its like gta3 when they got open road in the morning.
Love the food.
Love the diversity
Hate the smell
Hate the crime

all depends on the quality: $2000 to $5000 is not unreasonable - in a quality area with all services - doorman - etc..

They don't live in Manhattan. They live in the outer buroughs and take a train or a bus into the city to work. :2 cents:

I rented from Jakobson properties for 5 years before we moved out of the city. They have a shitload of apt.s and there is no agency fee.

figure on at least 2k unless you want to live in a shitbox or in Brooklyn (same thing) :1orglaugh

and for those of you who say it isn't safe, you obviously haven't lived there and watch too many movies.

This is very true. Statiscally speaking NYC is one of the safest large cities in the country. The 70s and early 80s were pretty bad, especially when crack first hit the scene. Since then it has been cleaned up big time. Check these links:

4000 a month here gets you a bigger house then that.

Things also changed a lot after 2001

Other than 9/11 what are you referring to? Again, speaking in terms of safety related to crime not terrorism.

Most recent stats regarding safety are from 2003.

on eat 68 bet 2nd and 3rd friend just rented in a nice new building doorman, marble 13th floor 900sq ft 1 bed room 1 bathroom all new but small 3800 a month he had bad credit he needed to put up 6 month advance

the only people who live in new york either

(a) have to work in the city
(c) live in a rent control apartment
(b) think its hip to pay 3-5k for something the size of my bedroom & hear fucking noises all day & night
