I know it’s blasphemy but I’m so glad I moved to jersey city just to get it over with. I don’t see how we could logically go back to the city now with these prices 😖
Idk man. We don’t have kids either and manage to find and plenty of things to do with that extra $2k in our pockets each month.
Studios are usually the first stop for folks who move to NYC for their first job. Land lords know this. With the next class of I-Bankers / Consultants / Insert-your-white-collar-first-year-out-of-college-job-here moving to the city, we are back to the same old McCrazy.
And if you think you have it rough, how about all the $15/hr workers who struggle to pay rent …
I frequently think about this! If things are expensive for me, a single guy making over $200K, how about marginalized communities!?
Same here RIP
Moved to another state and bought property. It got out of control. I didn’t mind roughing it for a while, but there has to be a return on that investment! I was making six figures and living in a rodent infested closet. I had three neighbors die in their units…the thought of sleeping next to their corpses was my final nope outta there. $3k a month for that? When I can own property anywhere else in the US? I miss being in the city, but I love my homeownership better.
Where did you guys even find studios that cheap?

Studio went from 2.3 to 3.1. Moved out of the city to Brooklyn
“The city” is standard NY shorthand for Manhattan. If you’re already in the City of NY, referring to “the city” means Manhattan.
Uptown studios cost 3k+
Why are people still surprised by this
Same thing happened to me! 1200 to 1700! And thats the market price…. Its hard out here.
This makes me so nervous for my lease renewal in December
NYC is crazy. Really Jersey City and Hoboken are too. Older now but while I enjoyed it back in my day, I would never do that again.
Check the new rent rules in nyc
Any rules about rent amounts are only applicable to stabilised apartments sadly
my studio (625sq ft) went up by $1400 … and i resigned for two more years bc the market is crazy downtown manhattan
A lot of people. Why do you care OP?
