This map helped us recognize how diverse the city’s housing markets really were. They ranged from $110 per square foot in Woodlawn, Bronx to over $3,393 per square foot around Central Park South.

Manhattan itself ranged from $430/sq.ft in Inwood to over $3,000 in NoLiTa. The 3D map shows the decline in prices as commute times increase. As one moves up the island: $1,600/sq.ft for the Upper West Side, to $800/sq.ft. for Morningside Heights, to $617 in Hamilton Heights, to $430 in Inwood.

The 3D visualization also highlights several surprisingly affordable neighborhoods very close to Manhattan. Parts of Jersey City are about a 10 minute commute to the Village, and are about $450/sq.ft. And for comparison, the comparably-priced neighborhoods in Brooklyn or Queens would have a 30–40 minute commute.
