Bro a more efficient use of space would be to push the couch closer to the wall and move the dining table under the window... It would look much nicer and your plant (if real) would love you for it... You were recommended by UA-cam 😊
I never comment, but great voice great video. I'm not even moving to NYC but I stumbled on this and thought I'd leave a like. That broker's fee is an absolute scam tho lol
@@reginayfavors The "space" for two bedrooms in Dallas is not the same for the "space" for two bedrooms in NYC. You never lived in a city with more than 8 mil population, do you?
I have followed you on Instagram for a long time, but have never heard you speak. You have a great personality and speaking voice! Nice to put a voice with the face. Your apartment is nice and not outrageous rent for NYC. I can do everything I love about NYC, shopping, performing arts, restaurants, etc., in a week and then I'm ready to come home. But I'm glad you are happy there.
Nice video and thanks for the transparency! I love that it's becoming a little more normalized to talk about money and numbers. I feel like it's super helpful especially because it can help motivate so many people. I'm currently a CS student and come from a small town hoping to break into tech after college and watching videos like this and how fellow techies live their lives pushes me to want to do the same. Thank you!
Very informative video. You are the first person who has explained about a broker’s fee where I understand it. I’m a senior citizen and never moving to New York, but love to watch the videos. I subscribed and wish you continued success.😮😂
I love the space. For me tho, I would lose the dining room table & push the sofa up against the wall to create more space. Also put in some plants (fake) and more pics on the walls. Great NYC apartment!!
Nice! I really like you space, we in this family love the challenge of small living spaces, like what you’ve done to your apartment … what is the sq footage? Keep up the good work, Enjoy “the big apple.”❤
you say you got a good deal on your rent, but whether that is true or not depends on where you're located. you could be next a train stop living in jamaica queens. not asking for an address but a neighborhood would be super helpful.
broker fee is normal in NYC. Almost everybody has to pay it. The real question is the location.. $2075 is a good deal for a place near the train and not too far from the city
Love the apartment. Why don't you move the sofa far back against the wall and the dining table adjacent to the window? The apartment will be more spacious if you do that. Your color palette is good. Just make that small change and you will see. 😊
Thank you for sharing that information. Everybody needs to know that you have to pay a fee. It’s horrible that you have to do that. You’re looking for apartment. You’re not trying to pay any extra money sometimes you don’t have that extra money to pay, but thank you anyway.
I guess you want to look out of the window when you're on your couch. It would look more spacious if the couch was against the wall instead of the table. Living in NYC I suppose you spend a lot of time outside. Don't be afraid of mixing colors with your gray.
Omg you must love New York to pay $2,000 for that tiny apartment. That’s more than my mortgage and I have a 4 bedroom 2 in a half bath house with a double car garage in Texas
I have a four bedroom condo in San Antonio for 1700.00 with a garage…and downtown 😂 let’s not tell people because if they keep coming down here the price will go up😂😂😂
I moved to NY from NC a year ago to study acting. The crappy part is that you must meet the x40 monthly rent for your salary. And choosing to live in or closer to the city is even worse: you pay more for less. I choose south Brooklyn, my commute into the city is a little longer but I got more for my money: $1900 a month and it’s quieter, no tourists. It’s absolutely not worth paying extra for parking.
Did you move from Durham? I heard gentrification has occurred in my native Durham, North Carolina and the rents are sky high. I've been living in New York City since 1973. I lived with a great aunt in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn. I later moved to the upper Westside in Manhattan in 1979. I have been living in the same large 2 bedroom rent control building with a fire place for 45 years. 😁I will be here until God calls me on to glory and they take my remains to Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York.
Hey Dev, NYC should be ashamed of itself for how they chop up apartments and try to convince people this is normal. My good friend just got apartment yesterday after a fire from his neighbor on mother's day this year. He's literally starting from scratch but if you think your apartment is tight his is literally a kitchen and bathroom..smh. oh we're in Brooklyn and it seems Bk is trying to be like Manhattan when it comes to space and rent.. Congratulations to you and enjoy your space
Broker's fees are criminal. Years ago the landlord used to pay the broker's fee because by law, if you go to a broker to help you find an apartment then yes, you should pay them but if an apartment is being advertised then the landlord should pay that fee. There was a court case in 2020 and the law changed but it's being challenged. It is a scam since the broker does nothing but stand there after you looked for the apartment.
I thought that the high cost of living in New York is partially offset by lower transportation costs. Why do you own a car instead of renting one as needed for out of town travel? Something you left out: your car payment and auto insurance. I appreciate knowing about the cost of living in NYC. For the life of me, why New York? Of course, there are a million things to do but if you live there do you enjoy the same amenities that are so abundant? How often do you go to the opera? Or to see shows in a Broadway theatre? Or go to a jazz club? New York is the fashion capital of the nation. You have one or two tiny closets. I live alone in a 930 square foot home and I have a basement with a chest freezer, a washer and dryer and a bath with a shower instead of a tub. I also have a two car garage. I’m going to subscribe just so I can see what’s what. I can’t wait until you re-decorate like something I read about in Architectural Digest.

The biggest scam! Thanks for watching 💯
Thank you for sharing. I pay 1600 for a small 2 Bedroom in Brooklyn and making a 5 year plan to get out of here.
Is it worth it dummy ??
I pay $1,909 for two bedrooms in Dallas. Are you sure you want to leave? That's pretty cheap.
How many bathrooms?
@@reginayfavorswhat is the square footage?

You have a nice neat space. New York the rent is high. I live in Maryland and pay $2300 for a 5 bedroom house so I feel blessed.
I own upstate New York. Blessed
That’s amazing. I live in New York City in a studio apartment. The rent is $3300 a month and they’re asking for $4000 when this lease renews.
That’s a real blessing
What county in Maryland
I’m looking in Maryland to live in a few years. I know some people in different parts of the

BTW- rearranging the dining room table under the windows is worth considering.
Very affordable bro 👏🏾 needed to see this been tryna get hella info on New York living this was super Informative brutha thank you! 🙏🏾

I feel very fortunate living with my parents in a co-op in NY.
Had to pay a down payment but rent is $1200 included electricity, water, and gas.
Stay forever 😂
@@Forthreee Hell yeah. Not going to pay $2000 for apartment
Dev, nice looking living room. Try putting the dinette table at the windows, then put the sectional sofa against the wall.
A good deal considering the costs of apartments right now. Good job.
That’s not bad bro. 🔥🔥🔥
You look super organized. Cool place, good vibe. The Broker's Fee does seem a little excessive.

I like the setup before dining table. Im livining in a studio, my liking with studios came from traveling & staying at hotels.
Omg you must love New York to pay $2,000 for that tiny apartment. That’s more than my mortgage and I have a 4 bedroom 2 in a half bath house with a double car garage in Texas
More people live in apartments in America, then houses
This is NY not Texas. It is expensive to live ( unless you get an affordable apartment) but in NY we are 24 hrs for everything and do not NEED a car!
I could never live in hot texas. Question: wheres the bathroom
Right? My mortgage is $1200 for a house in Illinois
I have a four bedroom condo in San Antonio for 1700.00 with a garage…and downtown 😂 let’s not tell people because if they keep coming down here the price will go up😂😂😂

$250 for parking is good! In my building, it's $500.However, I do have a rent-stabilized apartment.
A Murphy bed would really come in handy in this space.

Ahhhhhh now I see your apartment is adorable. If you ever get a one bedroom all you would need is a bed.
Closet and bathroom?
I am pretty sure Broker's Fees were banned a few years ago and the building owners have to pay the brokers.
Congratulations. Best of luck to you 👍
I thought they made brokers fee illegal in NYC???...

This is the exact situation i need. 2k is my rent budget and I need a parking spot for my car. do you just drive on occasion?

When you sell your sofa will you move your dining area in the hall and put your shelves in your dining area? This is nice. Good Luck.
Although the shelves may look better against that wall, but the dining table & chairs may take up too much space in the hall.....Nice apt. tour
Nice
Get rid of those shelves. I couldn’t handle that. Install things on the walls in better locations. Donate the couch. What neighborhood is this?
I want that couch
How much is your car insurance in NYC
What neighborhood is this bro? Is this in midtown manhattan?
I pay 2,800 i have a 8 foot kitchen island bosh wash and dryer in my apartment one bedroom 800 sqft swimming pool on 58th
Thanks for sharing this
I pay 2050 for a one bedroom in West Harlem, and I think it's too much
You've got to rearrange the space. That bulky furniture, especially the shelving in the doorway is horrific.
we're all a little nosey haha- so true!
which borough?
Fun fact: in spite of what all you people think, living in NYC absolutely sucks. It bleeds you dry and you will be broke forever.
Real
what area of the city. is it ???
Brooklyn
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Simply put...you have too much stuff😂
Dude you’d be better in a large van and paying 2k to fix it up
Give that couch away.....
You have too many things in your hallway…fire hazard.
Guess??? 👇
Thats about normal for a studo
2000 USD for that is crazy
but you've made it actually look good and inviting
I don't want l to live in New York
Brokers charge the fee cause people like you pay them. thats why.
He literally says that in the video towards the end.
@@ImTiffanyNicole thanks for the info
n
You are paying too much. Move and stack your coins.
this is nothing in New York
@@naylaregina_ I think you could find something for 1850. I used to live in NY. You are spending a lot of money.
