$500K Hotel Suite Among NYC's Priciest Rentals

NEW YORK — More money, more options. Deep-pocketed renters have a huge range of choices in New York City's housing market, from a $7,300 apartment that tops Queens' listings to a half-million-dollar hotel suite on Manhattan's Upper East Side, a recent report says.

The home-search and data analysis website Localize.city examined the Big Apple's most expensive rentals for well-heeled New Yorkers who don't want to put down roots by buying a property.

Manhattan dominates the report with its top five homes renting for more than $100,000 a month. But big spenders can also find more modest abodes in Queens or The Bronx, the report shows.

"We want to make sure all New Yorkers, whether you plan to spend a lifetime or just four fiscal quarters here, find homes that make them happy," Localize.city communications manager Aaron Ghitelman said in a statement. "Localize.city’s insights and truth about all apartments and houses in New York City makes it easier to find a place to rest your head."

Localize.city's anaylsis shows a large gap between the most expensive rentals in each borough.

Manhattan's crown jewel is currently an entire floor of the Pierre Hotel at 795 Fifth Ave. renting for $500,000 a month. Whoever snags the 4,786-square-foot, six-bedroom pad will get 360-degree city views and 15 hours of sunlight a day, Localize.city says. Another unit at the building is going for $125,000 a month, according to the report.

The luxe unit offers a stark contrast to Queens's most expensive rental, a $7,385-a-month, five-bedroom apartment at 28-18 Jackson Ave. in Long Island City. The brand-new building is fewer than 20 minutes from Midtown and comes with a doorman, pool and rooftop deck, according to Localize.city.

Brooklyn's most expensive rental is roughly four times that price. The four-bedroom duplex at 90 Furman St. in Brooklyn Bridge Park rents for $28,000 a month. Three other Brooklyn Heights homes join it among Kings County's five priciest rentals, according to Localize.city.

The Bronx might offer the best bargain in the city: The highest-priced rental there is an eight-bedroom house at 5041 Goodridge Ave. going for $17,950 a month, Localize.city says. While the commute to Midtown by public transit takes almost an hour and a half, the home comes with a three-car garage and a private pool, according to the report.
