Since today is a day for market stat retrospectives, what did it cost to rent in downtown Manhattan or in Brooklyn in 1983? Ephemeral New York found a few old real estate ads to answer that question. A 1,200-square-foot Soho studio would have cost $1,350/month. A 2BR at 300 South Third Street in Williamsburg would have cost $330/month, and an East Village three-room sublet was asking $600/month.
