The great thing about New York City is that there are many different neighborhoods with different price ranges. These are prices for neighborhoods in Manhattan in 2003.
Upper East Side: An average studio monthly rent is $1,700, while an average one-bedroom goes for $2,500.
Upper West Side: The average studio went for $1,800 in 2003 and a one-bedroom for $2,900
Midtown between 34th and 58th Streets: a one-bedroom rented for $2,600 and a studio rented for $1,800.
There are neighborhoods outside of Manhattan that are less expensive.
I don't know the price of the average starter home or average salary. I know people who have paid over $500,000 for a house in White Plains in Westchester.
