While Manhattan apartments, both old and new, are still smaller than apartments in Queens and Brooklyn (the average size of all apartments in Manhattan is 721 square feet, compared to 737 square feet in Brooklyn and 727 square feet in Queens), the average size of a Manhattan apartment grew 19 square feet:

While the size of rental apartments in Manhattan has increased, the average size of newly built apartments across the United States decreased by 54 square feet in the last decade, down from 941 square feet in 2013 to 887 square feet in 2022, according to data from RentCafe. This decrease in size can be attributed to the creation of more studios and one-bedroom apartments in 2022, which reached a historic 57 percent share of the market.
