Where can you find Westchester and Rockland apartments asking about $2,500 monthly rent?
Most online listings for buildings with market-rate or luxury apartments that are run by management companies are in cities such as New Rochelle, White Plains, and Yonkers, with significantly fewer available in suburban places.
Here's a look at some recently listed apartments that are close to $2,500 a month. Keep in mind that asking rents don't necessarily account for what's known as concessions, in which a building's management company or landlord offers incentives such as some discount on rent. Rents also may not cover additional fees and other costs.
