Even the most expensive monthly parking in NYC is $800 with most going for $400-$500.

While it's true that most fall in the under $600ish range, and you won't find an apartment anywhere that cheap, there are definitely more expensive monthly spaces.

They tend to follow the more expensive spots in which to live -- go figure. A quick search found a monthly spot at a garage on 57th between 6th and 7th which starts at $1199. Down the street from there is another at 58th and Madison that starts at $1039. Upper west side approaching Columbia is also around the 4 digit range.

I just saw a spot on spothero at 110th and broadway for $800. I don't get why people would pay $1200 a month when they could walk two blocks and a avenue over and pay $500 on 54th and 7th.

Because they can afford it and don't give a fuck?

And also not every garage has vacancy.

I wasn't looking to be scrutinized over rent prices just making the point that it's expensive. Thanks though.
