Current snapshot

Median asking rent by area and bedroom count

These are medians, not averages. Each sample size is shown below the rent so you can judge how much data sits behind the number. Manhattan appears as three segments (Downtown, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan) because that is how the source dataset aggregates it.

1 bedroom: $4,995; n=8,698

Data integrity note

Why we are not publishing change percentages yet

A change percentage is only useful when both periods use the same query, geography, deduplication rules, and observation window. That comparison is not recoverable from the current public files, so we are showing the gap instead of inventing precision.

Month over month

Not calculated. The public dataset exposes the current snapshot but no June 2026 snapshot produced with the same query and geography, so a like-for-like month-over-month figure cannot be verified.

Year over year

Not calculated. Existing July 2025 report artifacts use conflicting samples and do not preserve the area-by-bedroom query behind this live snapshot, so publishing a year-over-year percentage would be misleading.

Methodology

What this snapshot measures

This is a point-in-time snapshot of RentReboot's public aggregate asking-rent percentile dataset, captured on July 30, 2026. Each figure is the 50th percentile for listings in the named area and bedroom count with category=all, and each sample size is the public count_unit value returned alongside that percentile. Manhattan is reported as three segments (Downtown, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan) because the public dataset aggregates Manhattan listings that way rather than publishing one borough-wide row; the small residual manhattan bucket, which only covers listings without a finer area assignment, is excluded as unrepresentative. The snapshot is not a closed calendar-month series, does not represent signed leases, and excludes Staten Island because the public dataset does not publish rows for it. Duplicate listings may remain when the same apartment appears on more than one source.

What is the average rent in Manhattan and Brooklyn?

RentReboot publishes medians of asking rents, which resist skew from luxury outliers better than averages. The dataset reports Manhattan as three segments rather than one borough-wide number: as of July 30, 2026, the median one-bedroom asks $4,995 Downtown, $5,030 in Midtown, and $2,800 in Upper Manhattan. In Brooklyn, medians are $3,300 for a studio, $3,770 for a one-bedroom, $4,250 for a two-bedroom, and $4,500 for a three-bedroom.
