Rare Bargains: Downtown Manhattan Rentals Under $2,500/Month

By Michelle Mazzarella | From Chelsea Wednesday, July 11, 2018

Downtown Manhattan is home to some of the hottest neighborhoods, not to mention the most expensive.

Between the rich history, eye-catching architecture, thriving culinary and cultural scenes, and hip population, it is no wonder New York's downtown neighborhoods are among its most in-demand. Access does not come cheap - CityRealty data reports that the median downtown rent is $4,255/month - but this area is not completely inaccessible. The following listings are south of 30th Street, priced under $2,500/month, and not likely to stay on the market for long.
