Queens is a popular borough that welcomes many monthly renters. 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 $4,350 this month. With Spring in full swing, rental prices continue to increase slightly as more renters look to move to the city or end their current leases. However, those looking to capitalize on lower rental prices than during the Summer season can still expect to find deals across the borough.
