The rent in haredi neighbourhoods in Jerusalem is climbing up without an end. Today renting an apartment especially in Kiryat Belz is as expensive as living in a secular upper class neighbourhood.
A Haredi looking for a cheap apartment in Jerusalem should consider the Neve Yaakov neighbourhood (behind Pisgat Ze'ev) where he can still find three rooms for 3200 Shekels (approx. 800 Dollar) per month. Looking for an apartment of the same size in Kiryat Belz is only affordable for the higher society because three rooms cost 7500 Shekels (approx. 1800 Dollar). Belzer families with less money are moving away from Kiryat Belz, as they simply cannot afford living there anymore. Some of them prefer the cheaper Belz neighbourhood in Beit Shemesh or move to other neighbourhoods in Jerusalem.
Unfortunately, rich Haredim from London, Antwerp, Manchester or London destroy the real estate prices in Jerusalem. People from abroad come with money and think that Israel just belongs to them even if they don't really live here but only visit over the high holidays. A selfish way of thinking because newly married couples are unable to buy apartments and are thus forced to move further away.

How about the rent nowadays in Mea Shearim, and Ma'alot Dafna (Rav Machlis family area)? When you say 3 rooms, do you mean 3 bedrooms, or 3 rooms in total?

No, it is three rooms in total.
It didn't say anything about Mea Shearim or Maalot Dafna in the paper but I assume that it will be expensive as well. Flats in Mea Shearim look like a mess but, nevertheless, thet are expensive. As a matter of fact, all haredi areas are expensive.
