If you live in the middle of nowhere, then the housing market will be much more affordable, but this is NYC. It has everything thing here: broadway shows, Times Square, Wall Street, manhattan, etc., so that is why the market is relatively high.

It's not a bad apartment. But the rent is ridiculous as usual.

[@hewitc]

I thought so too, at first. In 1975, right out of college, I lived in a slumish walk-up "one bedroom" with the shower stall in the kitchen and the kitchen sink was also the bathroom sink, so keep those dishes washed. Little room for the toilet. I had mice, rats and roaches and lived over a pizza restaurant to the place was over heated. Broken window never fixed, so cardboard cover in winter. One 15 amp fuse, so no air conditioner possible. It was $400/mo, cheaper than any of my friends' places. I always thought it was dirt cheat (but really a slum) I just checked and adjusted for inflation that's $2,280 in today's dollars. This place is not much more and it's clean and "respectable". No separate toilet room. No plaster falling down. It's a great apartment for a young person starting out. New York is a city of opportunity. I found mine.

It's a decent apartment, though I think he said the fifth floor, so lets out some of us. There's space in the kitchen for a large rolling counter, and although the bedroom might once have been part of the living room, there's space in both for actual furniture. If the subway and a laundromat aren't too far away, the location looks good enough. $2,850 isn't cheap, but it's reasonable in the ridiculous NYC rental market. This one will get snapped up quickly.

After your lease is up, you can be sure the landlord will jack up the rent. Then you're forced to pay the 'average' for the neighborhood or go through the hassle and expense of moving again.

@@ivanj.conway9919 An apartment that costs more than $2,500/month would require a job that pays more than $100,000/year. While there would be city employees (police, firefighters, teachers, office workers, etc.), store clerks and restaurant workers in NYC with years of experience that might be able to afford it, those at the beginning levels could not. Yes, New York City is becoming a place where only the wealthy can live, and those that serve them must live elsewhere and commute in.
