Re: Manhattan real estate
[ QUOTE ]
I have no idea about the Manhatten housing situation, but I do have a question about it:
How much would a studio, a 1 BR, or a 2 BR apartment cost per month for someone working in the financial district and right out of college? I don't know what all the neighborhoods are, so pick one where a lot of similar aged/professioned people live.

Rents that my friends pay:
LES - $1700 for a studio w/ a pair of windows linked to the fire escape.
UES - $2.8k+ for 1 bedroom. No reason to live here if you're working downtown. $1800 for a tiny studio.
Penn Station area - $3k for 1 bedroom.
Midtown west (57th/8th-ish) - $2.2k for studio. Nice building, enough room for a living area and a bed.
