Median asking rent by neighborhood and unit size on July 2026 StreetEasy Data Dashboard figures, and what every week of vacancy costs you.
Why vacancy matters more than the last $100
The conversation about asking price almost always circles a hundred or two hundred dollars a month. The arithmetic runs the other way. On a $3,100 unit, six weeks empty costs $4,281. Asking $100 over the median to earn that back takes 43 months, and the overpricing is usually what caused the vacancy in the first place.
That is why this tool shows both numbers together. The median tells you where the market is. The vacancy table tells you what ignoring it costs.
Where the numbers come from
Every rent figure comes from the StreetEasy Data Dashboard for July 2026. Each one carries its listing count and its year-over-year change. Where a neighborhood has fewer than 30 listings of that size, this tool publishes no figure and does not substitute the borough one. A borough average blends neighborhoods with no relationship to each other and produces a number that contradicts the neighborhood's own data.
These are asking rents, not signed leases. What a unit actually rents for can land above or below.
