The average price? $2,750 a month for a one-bedroom apartment.
In 2014, Manhattan rent prices increased by 3.8 percent overall (over twice the rate of inflation.) The neighborhoods with the largest rent increases included NoMad, Soho and Two Bridges which all saw an increase in median rent of over 15 percent.
