Queens: both platforms point the same way

The Queens result is consistent across the two accommodation platforms, and the median comparison also moves in the same direction.

Airbnb
+26.9%
$3,052 vs. $2,406
Average cost across 13 nights, an increase of about $646 during the US Open period.
Median comparison: +20.0% · 275 during / 276 later
Booking.com
+21.8%
$4,034 vs. $3,313
Average cost across 13 nights, an increase of about $721 during the US Open period.
Median comparison: +18.0% · 54 during / 73 later

Manhattan tells a less consistent story

Airbnb prices were also higher in Manhattan, while Booking.com averages were effectively flat. That split is why Queens is the cleaner location-level finding.

Airbnb
+20.6%
$4,206 vs. $3,487
About $719 more across the 13-night window.
Median comparison: +24.8% · 276 during / 276 later
Booking.com
+0.2%
$7,863 vs. $7,849
A difference of only about $14 across 13 nights.
Median comparison: -9.4% · 370 during / 473 later
Key contrast: Manhattan Booking.com’s median price was 9.4% lower during the tournament-period window even though its average was essentially unchanged.

Methodology

RotoGrinders analyzed 2,073 Airbnb and Booking.com search listings for Queens and Manhattan. The comparison uses two 13-night, two-adult stays: Aug. 31–Sept. 13, 2026 and Sept. 30–Oct. 13, 2026. Prices are shown in U.S. dollars; per-night values divide the 13-night total by 13. The listing pool can differ between search windows, so the figures describe the observed price difference rather than attributing every change solely to the tournament.
