Are you planning on house hunting in Manhattan’s neighborhood? If you were looking downtown for a place to rent and wanted to rank them from most expensive to least expensive, this would be the order.

* West Village
* TriBeCa
* Chelsea
* East Village
* LES/Little Italy
* Midtown South

This is just a general estimate and will vary greatly depending on the type of property you’re looking at. Also, the amenities of the building (among other factors) would influence the asking price as well.

To save your sanity, here are a few questions to ask when renting in New York. Good luck on your search.
