Average NYC rent for 1-bedroom is $4,100, up from previous shattering record 

NEW YORK (PIX11) – The average cost of a one-bedroom apartment in New York City is now $4,100, a new study by Zumper found. 

This is up from last year’s previous record of $4,000. 

The national median cost for a one-bedroom has only gone up by just a fraction of a percentage point compared to this time last year, according to Zumper.

“Rents are now almost flat year-over-year, something that would’ve been unimaginable even a year ago,” Zumper CEO Anthemos Georgiades said. “That’s partially thanks to new supply coming online in many markets, and it’s welcome news for cost-burdened renters.”  

Although that may be the case for many cities, one-bedroom apartments in New York City are up almost 2% from this time last year, according to Zumper’s data. 

Trailing New York City in the most expensive rental market is Jersey City, with an average cost of $3,200 for a one-bedroom.  

Rent in the metropolis of San Francisco was third on the list. 

The average cost of a two-bedroom in New York City is just shy of $5,000, according to data from Zumper.   

Zumper is an online privately owned rental platform in North America that has more than 125 million site visits a year. Their data analyzed rental prices from over one million active listings in over 100 cities nationwide to find that rent has plateaued in many major US cities.
