For a studio apartment in Austin in 2016, I paid $850 a month in rent.<\/p>\n
I paid the same price for my first apartment in NYC in 2019 \u2014 except I lived in a three-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment shared with strangers.<\/p>\n
Since moving to New York, I’ve lived in six apartments, ranging from $1,650 to $3,000 monthly for one-bedroom units.<\/p>\n
According to Zillow<\/a>, the average rent in Austin is $1,900, while in NYC<\/a>\u00a0it’s $3,606.<\/p>\n Nowadays, I share a $3,000-a-month, one-bedroom apartment with my partner in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For a studio apartment in Austin in 2016, I paid $850 a month in rent.
