Average rent in Longwood

September 2026 asking-rent percentiles by bedroom size.

RentReboot currently tracks 8 observations across available apartment sizes in Longwood. No bedroom-size sample has reached our five-observation publication threshold, so we are not displaying a median yet.

What the rent range shows

The current monthly sample is too small for a reliable bedroom median, so the historical section uses the latest 100 valid observations assigned to this neighborhood. Current and historical samples are never blended into one figure.

The neighborhood has 8 observations across available bedroom sizes. Only bedroom groups with at least five observations are published; smaller groups are withheld because a handful of listings can produce a misleading median.

Historical Longwood rent context

This fallback uses the latest 100 valid listing observations in RentReboot's history, spanning 2023-06-02 through 2026-09-10 and covering 67 properties.

The all-bedroom historical median is $2,275. This mixes apartment sizes and is context—not a substitute for a current bedroom-specific median.

How to use this data

Compare an apartment's asking rent with the percentile range for the same bedroom count. A listing below the 30th percentile is inexpensive relative to this sample; one above the 70th percentile is at the higher end. Differences in condition, concessions, exact location, amenities, and listing age can still explain a large price gap.

Use this number to check the income required under NYC's 40x rule, learn how to find rent-stabilized apartments, or decide when to start your search.

RentReboot removes current bedroom groups with fewer than 5 observations from this report. Historical figures are independently labeled and use at most the latest 100 valid observations. Read the rent-data methodology, compare the NYC market summary, or inspect recent Longwood listings.
