depending on if utilities are included or not, for a 1 bedroom, it will be from $1200 and up to around $1700

a 2 br will be around $1450 and up, also depending on what utilities are included

I just rented out my 1 bedroom apartment in Howard Beach Queens (Lindenwood area) for $1,150 a month. Heat and hot water included in rental - its a 6 story building with laundry in the lobby level.

I live there in a co-op, but I own it....Little Neck/Douglaston. In my development we can't rent, but in Parwood Estates, they can sublet...they are co-ops also, off Little Neck Parkway. My friend rents one now. I will call her tomorrow and ask her what she's paying in rent. I think she's in a 1br. She's getting married in March and moving out of there into her FH's house. I repost tomorrow w/ more info.

To give you an idea:

We rent in a complex with a large 2 bedroom/1 bath for $1 300, plus cable and lipa which runs an addition $270. So, $1570 total. We could have gotten something for less $$ but it was important for us to live in a complex as opposed to someone's basement because we were afraid of getting a crappy landlord and we like to have people over, also FH can't fit in basement apartments.

Its all relative, but I personally can't stand people who try to rent an apartment to cover their mortgage; I saw one apt. being advertised as a 'large motel room' with no kitchen for $1k plus utilities

It all depends on what you want, what you have to have or can sacrifice and where you want to live



omg where do you live?



Hey girl, I'm out east in Middle Island
