New Yorkers looking to buy a home may be able to find the best bang for their buck in Queens, a new study has revealed.
The borough offers the most space for the money compared to Brooklyn and Manhattan, with an average selling price of $540 per square foot, according to an analysis by StreetEasy.
Since the median asking price for a home in New York City was $950,000, the average homebuyer in Queens would be able to snag a property that would span a median of 1,759 square feet, or $540 per square foot, according to StreetEasy.
Homebuyers in Brooklyn who purchase a property for the same price would pay $666 per square foot for a total of 1,427 square feet of space.
In Manhattan, anyone who buys a property worth $950,000 would only be able to afford 589 square feet of space — or an eye-popping $1,612 per square foot.
