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.

Come over to 5 towns area or Great Neck/Manhasset/Kings point sections or the gold coast of long island. That's nothing.
As for heat and all that being included in rent, it happens in almost every city in the more modern apartment buildings. Or it's a sign of the fact that they can't attract enough tenants and do it to bring in new ones.
