Using Yardi Matrix and Property Shark construction data , RENTCafé tallied up apartment completions that took place between 2010 and 2016 to see which neighborhoods saw the highest volumes of new rentals. Here they are: At the top of the list , Long Island City in Queens, New York City, has built a stunning 12,533 new apartments in 41 apartment buildings since 2010 , by far more than any other neighborhood in the U.S. Like many other New York neighborhoods, LIC slowly gentrified from a former heavily- industrial neighborhood filled with warehouse-type buildings to a highly- desirable residential area gleaming with new residential high -rises and conversions.

Welcome to Curbed Comparisons , a column that explores what one can rent or buy for a set dollar amount in various cities across the U.S. In our recurring exploration of what the real estate market looks like in various major U.S. cities, we’ve already looked at what kind of home you can get for $250,000, $500,000, and $1 million. Now it’s time to turn our attention to rentals, starting with a middle-of-the-road rent of $1,500 a month. As you’ll see in the listings spotlighted below, $1,500 a month should be able to rent at least a comfortable one-bedroom in most cities. But of course, the inventory reduces to studios of various styles and conditions in both the notoriously expensive cities like New York and San Francisco, as well as increasingly in-demand places like Portland, Oregon.

Dumplings and smiles The LA Times is reporting that Allan Tea, the man responsible for those popular Hello Kitty Cafe pop -ups across Southern California, has partnered up with a onetime Din Tai Fung chef to open a new restaurant down in Irvine. Called Paper Lantern , the project kicks off early next month at Diamond Jamboree Plaza off Alton Parkway. The decision by Tea to partner with Kenny Lim (whose family owns Mama Lu ’s Dumpling House) means that soon Orange County will have a pair of experts working to bring Paper Lantern to life. Lim comes with experience in the xiao long bao and beef roll world , while Tea knows more than a thing or two about crafting a quality dining experience .

In a few overbuilt downtowns , apartment rents are starting to fall. But experts claim that demand for apartment units continues to be so strong, the trend won’t last for long. “The story in these markets is the apartment story writ large : the high levels of apartment construction are not enough to house the 1.2 million or so new households formed each year without increased single-family construction,” says John Affleck, research strategist with the CoStar Group. Apartment rents are still growing, but not as quickly as they had been, in markets across the country, according to research firm RealPage Inc. Rent growth is slowing the most in a handful of cities where developers have opened thousands of new apartments recently. Rents fall in Houston In Houston, rents dropped by 1.6 percent on average over the past year, according to RealPage. In the top “urban core” neighborhoods where developers have opened the most new apartments, rents have fallen by more th...

San Francisco is celebrating the Summer of Love’s 50th anniversary. Most of the celebrants are probably dead and buried by now, especially its high priests like Allen Ginsburg who passed into Eternity in the dingy East Village , Timothy Leary, Jerry Garcia, Emmet Grogan of the Diggers (remember them). In truth, there hasn’t been much of a to-do about the historic occasion. Today’s “with it” residents of the Bay Area live in the moment. Vintage refers to their last but one smart phone; antique is their pre-updated software from Microsoft. The “Summer Of Love” – if they can recognize the name at all – belongs to the Neolithic Age or whenever it was that the skies were filled with flying dinosaurs instead of Amazon delivery drones . Only the De Young Museum has done its civic duty in bowing to the past. A mile away from the Haight-Ashby, they have organized a nostalgic exhibition that features the vivid psychedelic posters from Bill Graham’s Fillmore Ballroom concerts and the accoutre...

Casual restaurants, from the Publican in Chicago to Juhu Beach Club in Oakland, also got the book treatment this year. Each collection stands alone as a testament to the hard work of a team pushing for one pristine goal. Cheers to the Publican: Recipes and Ramblings from an American Beer Hall Paul Kahan, Cosmo Goss, Rachel Holtzman Lorena Jones Books, September 19 Starting with the first time I ate at there, shortly after its opening in 2008, the Publican has been my favorite restaurant.
