I'm in a 3bd apartment on Manhattan that costs less than $2000/month. Articles always cherrypick luxury apartments in the most expensive areas.

I live here, and that sounds really unlikely to me. Where are you? Is there any subsidy involved?

CrakeOP12y ago

No subsidy. Most of my non-wall street friends pay in the $600-800 range as well. Among this subset, the farthest one to the south is on 106th, and the farthest one north is on 160th. I'm 1/2 a block from the nearest A/C/E station and about 4 streets/a 5 minute walk from the 1.

600-800 per bedroom/month? (Ie: 1200-1600 for a 2 bedroom apartment)? Or did you mean something else?

But it is obviously Harlem and not what people usually mean by "in Manhattan"
