What are average monthly rents for the Bronx?
This varies a fair bit from neighborhood to neighborhood. Prices in Riverdale and Yonkers are starting to go up as Manhattanites move north up the Hudson. Average prices are listed by neighborhood on the “Neighborhood Information Index” inside the web site. Sharing an apartment is the way to go if you must keep to a tight budget. In the Belmont (“Little Italy”) area, which is a popular area next to campus and still reasonably priced, studios start at about $600/month and go as high as $900/month for a really nice place. Depending on the number of rooms in a share (an apartment or house with 2 or more bedrooms) rents run from $400-$650/month per roommate. One bedrooms in Belmont are between $850-$1200/month and three bedrooms are between $1000-$1300/month. These are estimates, obviously prices will vary with the quality and accoutrements of each housing situation.
