It’s not cheap to live in the Big Apple, but some of the figures might surprise even Manhattan natives.

PropertyShark’s 2016 first quarter price data shows the most expensive neighborhoods in New York City are largely located in Lower Manhattan, eating up six positions out of NYC’s ten priciest.

SoHo came in at No. 1, with a median home sale price of $5.865 million — a massive 143 percent year-over-year surge. NoHo is No. 2, with a $4 million price tag and a 46 percent rise since last year. At No. 3, Garment District’s median price is $3.497 million, representing a 193 percent annual increase.
