Some mornings, Kaitlin Jorgenson travels 544 miles to get to a job she'll be at for 72 hours. Although Jorgenson was ready to leave New York, she didn't want to give up the career she had built there. All in all, Jorgenson estimates she would spend a minimum of $4,000 each month to live and work in Manhattan. Moving to Charlotte, Jorgenson estimates, has saved her at least $2,000 each month — commuting expenses and all. During the weeks she's not in New York, Jorgenson works part-time at Superbloom Hair Studio in Charlotte, a job with flexible hours that change depending on Jorgenson's appointment schedule.

A recent study by RentHop may help New York City renters avoid neighborhoods where mold runs rampant. Overall, mold complaints from New York renters rose to 27,164 in 2022, up from 23,056 in 2017. But as renters returned in 2021, so did mold complaints. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, September 2021 had the most mold complaints of all the months counted. According to Renthop, New York City’s humidity and warmer temperatures in past years contributed to the growth of mold.

If you’re moving to New York City and want to find the most popular rental neighborhoods, it makes sense to follow locals in the know. Recently, RentHop did just that by studying web traffic to New York City listings that originated from within the city. Two Queens neighborhoods and four Brooklyn neighborhoods showed increased popularity. Astoria, Queens, rose to the top from ninth place a year ago. Other drops in Manhattan included Greenwich Village and the West Village, ranked 10th and 11th, each dropping six spots from last year; and the Bowery area ranked 13th, falling seven spots.

The real purchasing power of a $250,000 salary depends on a city's overall economy, taxes and cost of living. Across the United States, $250,000 is worth as much as $203,664 in Memphis, Tennessee, but as little as $83,000 in New York City. The study compares the after-tax income in 76 of the largest U.S. cities and adjusts the figures for the cost of living. For the privileged few earning $250,000 per year, here are the seven cities where your money has the least purchasing power, as well as how much it's actually worth. In San Francisco, for example, residents are taxed roughly six percentage points more in taxes at $250,000 salaries, as compared with a $100,000 salary, SmartAsset reports.

But if you're single and don't like roommates, online brokerage RentHop found the 15 U.S. cities where rent is most affordable. There aren't many big cities where rent is cheap, even for a studio apartment. Rent for studio apartments in New York has soared 23% in the past year, the study says. To compile housing price data, RentHop used every studio apartment listed on its site from Jan. 1, 2022 to Nov. 18. While single dwellers might live in larger homes, studio units were chosen because they best represent the minimum space in which one can live alone.
