See what $4,000 monthly rent gets you in Westchester and Rockland
At $4,000 monthly rent, opportunities widen significantly for market-rate apartments in more-upscale Westchester and Rockland buildings, including some units with more space.
That’s how expensive the region is, with its close New York City proximity.
Peruse listings, and places with by far the most apartments — cities such as Yonkers, New Rochelle and White Plains — tend not to have school districts that receive high online rankings. Instead, top-ranked schools tend to be in suburban towns and villages long dominated by single-family houses.
Here's some of what could be found online at or close to $4,000 a month. They are asking rents, which don't account for what's known as concessions in which a management company or landlord offers incentives such as some break on rent. Rents also may not account for additional fees and other costs.
It's possible one or more units could be rented or taken off market by this article's publication time.
