Here’s How Much A Luxury Apartment Costs In America’s Priciest Rental Markets

Courtesy of ZeroHedge. View original post here.

From Brooklyn to San Francisco, developers have been on a high-end housing binge in recent years, with apartments considered “high end” sometimes accounting for more than 75% of all construction.

But how much does it cost to live in a building with amenities that sometimes include a pool, 24-hour fitness and wellness centers, on-site theaters, rooms and cafes?

A recent study by RentCafe found that the national average rent in a luxury complex is around $1,640 per month, or about $490 more than an apartment in a less-fancy building.

But of course, that price can vary wildly from city to city, even when they’re in the same state.

For the same price as a luxury studio in San Francisco, you can rent a luxury 3-bedroom apartment in San Diego. In 12 cities you can rent a luxury studio for under $1,200 per month, and in 11 cities $1,500 gets you a high-end two-bedroom.

But in Manhattan, the most expensive market, a studio will run you $4,500.

Here’s a breakdown of the cities from least expensive to most expensive, courtesy of RentCafe.
