Maple Avenue, Germantown: $1300/mo.

Sparked by this list that we posted about last week, we decided to compile our own collection of rental properties in the HV/Catskills, all for $1500/month or less. Not surprisingly, you can get a lot for $1500/month, depending on where you look. The average rent for a 2-bedroom in Ulster County comes to about $994/month, according to the 2010 Ulster County housing survey. Even 3-bed rentals don’t reach the $1500 mark. Realtor.com puts Greene County’s average rent at $962/month for a 2-bed. Here are some other average 2-bed rentals around the Upstater area, again, from Realtor.com:

Dutchess County – $1498/mo.

Columbia County  – $1267

Delaware County – $1950 (for a 3-bed; the inventory in Delaware is really low right now)

Sullivan County – $895

Otsego County – $1100

Putnam County – $2054

Rockland County – $2143

And, for comparison’s sake:

Manhattan – $4042/month for a 2-bed apt.

 

This week, we’ll be looking around the Upstater area for some rental gems that are drool-worthy without tanking your bottom line. Who doesn’t love that?
