Real estate website Zumper crunched the data from the listings on its site to determine the most expensive and the cheapest neighborhoods to rent in Manhattan and Brooklyn this spring.
Zumper looked at neighborhoods primarily in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and a couple in Queens. It's worth noting that they didn't look at the Bronx or Staten Island. Already from March to April of this year, Zumper noted an increase in median rent prices across the city.
These are the most expensive neighborhoods to rent in New York City this spring:
1. Tribeca ($4,450)
2. Chelsea ($3,920)
3. Greenwich Village ($3,850)
4. DUMBO ($3,720)
5. Gramercy Park and the West Village (tied at $3,700)
6. Battery Park and the Financial District (tied at $3,580)
7. Soho ($3,500)
8. Garment District ($3,480)
9. Upper West Side ($3,400)
10. Midtown East ($3,330)
Check out Zumper's infographic below for complete data:
If staying in Manhattan is important to you, the best bet for affordable housing is in the Lower East Side ($2,450), the Upper East Side ($2,730), and the East Village ($2,800).
However, all of the top ten most affordable neighborhoods are in Brooklyn: Although rent prices are the lowest here, median rent is still on the rise (for the most part) in Brooklyn, as elsewhere.
Here are the most affordable neighborhoods to rent in New York City this spring:
1. Ocean Hill ($1,380)
2. Maspeth ($1,430)
3. Canarsie ($1,480)
4. East Flatbush and Sunset Park (tied at $1,500)
5. Flatbush ($1,530)
6. Flatlands ($1,550)
7. Borough Park ($1,570)
8. Kensington ($1,600)
