According to NYC's Department of Housing Preservation and Development, the average rental price in the city is $1000. And that includes five boroughs and non-regulated apartments of all shapes and sizes.
"The good news is that there are plenty of one-bedrooms renting for $1,000 to about $1,150, and they are better than decent." (But only "once you get out of Manhattan".)
"None of the 12 apartments viewed for this article were awful, and there were more than a few pleasant surprises for the money, like panoramic vistas, doormen, palatial lobbies, hardwood floors, genial supers, fireplaces, inexpensive on-site gyms and ample street parking."
"One drawback was that it was a 10-minute bus ride to the subway station, although the bus stop was only half a block away."
