New numbers for October from real estate firm Citi Habitats show high residential rents and low vacancy rates across Manhattan. Borough-wide, the average apartment rented for $2,863 a month.
Soho/Tribeca had the highest neighborhood rents by far, with spots in those neighborhoods renting for an average of $4,316 a month, making them far more expensive than even Chelsea and the West Village, where rents averaged just over $3,200 per month. Bargain hunters should head north — way north — to Harlem, where the average apartment rents for just $1,754 a month.
