| District | Listings | From | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Midtown | 212 | $450 | $750 |
| Brooklyn | 42 | $400 | $525 |
| Chelsea & Flatiron | 32 | $525 | $970 |
| Downtown & FiDi | 30 | $409 | $650 |
| SoHo & Village | 10 | $500 | $750 |
| Queens | 6 | $590 | $590 |
| Uptown | 4 | $700 | $750 |
“From” is the tenth-percentile published price in that district, so a real low end rather than a single outlier; the median is the middle of the published range. Districts with fewer than three published prices are left out.
| Team | At the low end ($430/desk) | At the median ($700/desk) | Upper quarter ($900/desk) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | $430 | $700 | $900 |
| 5 people | $2,150 | $3,500 | $4,500 |
| 10 people | $4,300 | $7,000 | $9,000 |
| 20 people | $8,600 | $14,000 | $18,000 |
These are straight multiples of the per-desk price. In practice a 10-person office is often priced as a suite rather than ten desks, and the per-desk figure falls as headcount rises, so treat the median column as the budget to plan around and the low end as what a patient search in the right district can reach.
At a serviced or coworking operator the monthly figure covers the furnished office, internet, utilities, cleaning, reception and shared kitchens and lounges. Meeting rooms are either included as a monthly allowance or billed by the hour; parking, printing and phone lines are usually extra. There is no separate rent, taxes or service charge, which is the main difference from a conventional lease.
