Renting in New York City? Ouch
Forbes Magazine, one publication that truly loves its lists, recently released another one guaranteed to get people talking. This one highlights the 10 most expensive cities for renters.
To no one’s surprise, New York City tops the list. The average monthly rent in the Big Apple, according to Forbes, comes in at $2,922. San Francisco, also no surprise, comes in second with an average monthly rent of $1,904. Rounding out the top three is Boston at $1,658.
The remaining seven cities on the list are: San Jose, Calif., at $1,612; Los Angeles, $1,452; San Diego, $1,304; Washington D.C., $1,302; Miami, $1,080; Philadelphia, $1,014; and Chicago, $1010.
I am really surprised to see that Chicago is less expensive on the rent scale than Philly.
I’m also surprised to see DC further down on the list. It’s freakin’ expensive to live there.
