That average rent of $4210 in Manhattan is skewed by posh, uber rich people rentals.

Manhattan isn't cheap, at all. But $4210 being 'average' includes places that rent for $70,000 a month that like Tom Hanks would rent if he was filming a movie here.

Do they report median rent? -- nm - Dano May 26, 09:35 3
- Best I could find is from last year and the median for a 1bd in Manhattan was $2,980. 2bd was $3,300. -- (link) - Krusty May 26, 09:41 2
  - How much square footage is there in a two-bedroom? - David May 26, 09:46 1
    - Probably ~60% or so of that from earlier listings they've posted. -- nm - spamlet May 26, 10:29
Yup. Manhattan is still crazy expensive for the size of the place you get but you can get a nice place for well under that. - Krusty May 26, 09:30 2
- UES? ew. He should move to the Upper Best Side -- nm - ty97 May 26, 09:31 1
  - Agreed. It seems more his style and speed. - Krusty May 26, 09:33
