Queens is a popular borough that welcomes many renters monthly. The borough boasts plenty of communities filled with restaurants and entertainment with lower rental prices than areas in Manhattan. With neighborhoods like Astoria and Long Island City close to Manhattan, some people move to the borough for the lower-priced rents and the easy commute.
The median rent for a New York City apartment is $4,300 this month, $50 lower than in May. Renters can expect to face high rental prices this season as existing leases end and new residents move into the city. However, those looking to capitalize on lower rental prices than during the Summer season can still expect to find deals across the borough.
