How much on average does rent cost for an apartment in New York?
-
A friend and I are really wanting to move to New York next year(we are both eighteen). We will both make at least minimum wage($7.50 an hour) & work full time(40 hours a week) so we'll make at least $2040 a month together, well actually probably $1469 a month since the government withholds 28% of your salary. I also have $8000 saved up. We want to live in Brooklyn, Harlem, Queens, or West Village. How much would a CLEAN 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom apartment cost a month there? If there are other parts of New York that have affordable & clean apartments, please suggest.

Answer:
The West Village and anything below 96th Street in Manhattan is way out of your price range. You want to live in Queens. It's cheap and safe. In Queens, you can find a clean 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom apartment from around $1200 to $1800 a month. You will have to pay a security deposit, first month's, and maybe last month's rent. One big advantage to living in NYC is that you don't need a car. You're actually better off without one.

A 1 bedroom apartment in Brooklyn should cost between $1500(slum)-$3000 (nice) Since you are young people, you don't need the nicest and you won't have pets, so I'd plan on spending between $1850-$2000. Keep in mind, you'll also have to plan for utilities like gas, heat, electric, water, sewer, trash, internet, phone, cable, parking, public transit, insurance (you need to get renters insurance), etc. EDIT: Get real hunny, you're not going to find a decent 1 bedroom in any large trendy US urban area for $700 a month. $700-$1000 is what you'd pay for an apartment in Cleveland or Austin- NOT NYC, Phili, SanFrancisco, Chicago, or DC

No minimum for a 1 room studio is 1200 and up 1 bedroom about 1700 and 2 bedroom 2500. You would have to have an income 4 times the rent thus bring home 4800 a month just for the studio At 18 you need a parent to cosign the loan.
