Map Charts NYC's Cheapest Homes In Fancy Zip Codes

NEW YORK CITY — Don't give up on your dreams of SoHo just yet. Even as New York real estate prices soar, a new study suggests there are still deals to be had in the city's priciest neighborhoods.

A new StreetEasy tool released Thursday ranks every Manhattan rental building from least to most expensive to help New Yorkers harpoon that Moby Dick of city real estate.

StreetEasy's analysis, which looked at buildings with at least five rentals between 2014 and 2018, found prices can vary widely by neighborhood or even by street.

Real estate analysts suggested what made prices vary, not too surprisingly, was apartment quality and building amenities.

Low-rent buildings have simpler layouts, less finishing and few amenities while higher-priced apartment complexes tended to be newer, taller and more spacious.

And, fortunately for aspiring Villagers who think a sixth floor walkup will save them the price of a gym membership, cheaper prewars can be found across the isle of Manhattan.
