[Marvel, MCU] How low are New York property prices, they'd surely be low due to the constant destruction and danger, right?

The Daredevil series actually spun its first season storyarc around this.

It's established early in the series that the collateral damage from the Chituari's attempted invasion of New York City in the first Avengers movie caused extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure in certain neighborhoods.

So in the aftermath some buildings needed to be torn down or rebuilt, and many affluent people decided to move out of those areas and leave it to those who wouldn't really have that option.

The neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen was especially hit hard by this, to the point where it basically rolled back from the pricey gentrified neighborhood it is in our world, to what it was known to be like since before the mid 80's, which is plagued by crime and poverty... which also was the version of Hell's Kitchen used as the setting of the comic book Daredevil stories that the series is mostly adapting.

I thought it was a very clever plot development by the showrunners to justify the setting of the show.
