Bronx rent slides, Riverdale rises

Posted

The average monthly rental price for Bronx apartments dropped by nearly 2 percent in October compared to the month before, creating a market where a family may now typically pay a little more than $2,000 per month.

Studio rental pricing may have been the main driver of that decrease, according to MNS Real Estate, with rents diving 7 percent.

The average rental price for a one-bedroom unit slid a bit to $1,941, while two-bedroom units ticked up slightly to $2,453.

However, when compared to this time last year, the average rental price for all apartments shot up nearly 5 percent.

Studio pricing remained stable, according to MNS, while two-bedrooms jumped 8 percent.

Riverdale rents are mostly stable, pushing up slightly overall. Studio rentals increased by $19 to $1,750.

Two-bedrooms rose to just over $2,900, making them most expensive in the borough, according to MNS.

However, it was the average rental price for a one-bedroom that experienced the biggest increase, shooting up $29 to just over $2,150. 

Year-over-year, Riverdale apartments are up more than 6 percent in October, with two-bedrooms now costing an extra $105 per month, while one-bedrooms jumped nearly $175.
