Formed in 1896, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company acquired and consolidated many various train and streetcar services in Brooklyn and Queens. By the time this map was created in 1912, the company owned all but two of the independent transit services in Brooklyn. Each of these lines represented either elevated or surface-level trains and streetcar lines. The company would open its first subway line under 4th Avenue in 1915, eventually running over the Manhattan Bridge. That tunnel is now served by the D, N, R and W lines.
This interactive map from real-estate news website PropertyShark shows you which zip codes in New York City still have homes for under $500 per square foot. Here are some key takeaways:
- Harlem’s 10032-zip code is the only location in Manhattan with a price/sf lower than $500, while in most of the borough you can hardly find anything under $1,000/sq.ft.
- You can buy a home under $500/sf in the eastern part of Brooklyn, with prices/sf hovering between $300 and $400.
- Prices/sf in the northern part of Queens exceed $500 in almost every zip code.
- Staten Island has 232 budget-friendly listings under $500/sf – the most out of the 5 boroughs.
