I feel like young people, especially UA-camrs, influence other young people to live in their neighborhoods (and everyone you spoke to has only lived here for around five years or less), but as someone who's lived here for 15 years, it's not just Lower Manhattan! Kelly Stamps is right on the money with Yorkville, but Morningside Heights, near Columbia, has a ton of young hip people, and a lot of young people that are looking for cheaper apartments also live in Washington Heights/Inwood. Midtown East (40s and 50s, just under the UES) is great and pretty cheap. And you can't completely rule out midtown - if you go further west than 8th Avenue, Hell's Kitchen is a place where a lot of fun people live, especially people who work on Broadway.
Good point!!
Totally agree I lived in Hamilton Heights and I loved it! It took longer to get to places but I had a great apartment for what I spent per month.
I’ve lived in Manhattan 100 steps from a ferry stop for 6 years, and I never took the ferry until today after being inspired by Shelby’s video. It’s so calming and picturesque.
I avoided the ferry for the longest time while living in NYC as well.
So worth it once you actually do it!
I've lived in a lot of different cities. But there's something different about the old east coast cities (Boston, New York, & Philly) and the people that live there. There's a culture that's unique to those cities and each neighborhood in those cities that you don't get anywhere else. It's unique, it's special, and I miss it. I'd move back if it could.
Where do you live now?
I agree with this so so much!
This is so well done! Truly wish I would have had this video before I moved here, glad I could be apart of it :)
Good
thank you!! and thanks for being apart of it!
I would love to see a video on what to do/ where to stay when visiting for a week!

NEW YORK SKYLINE..

One thing you kind of glossed over is that where you live mostly depends on how much you can afford. All those neighborhoods you mentioned are for young, early-career, low-end salaried individuals. There are much nicer neighborhoods where you can find deals but you really have to do your homework and probably hire an agent. A lot landlords use agents in order to conduct the credit checks be screening. It also doesn’t make sense to rent in Brooklyn since it’s not that much cheaper than those older neighborhoods you mentioned unless you want to buy a place. Also the closer you live to a train station the more your rent. I really love Union Square, Soho, TriBeCa and the Meatpacking district.
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
These were great neighborhoods mentioned here…
But there are a lot of other neighborhoods that can probably be a great fit for those watching!
NYers never go to tourist traps. Many have never been to the Statue of Liberty, The Empire State Building, etc. All the neighborhoods they are recommending are mostly for people who have great jobs. This is the fantasy NY. People out of college move into these places, stay for a year or two and leave never to return and will brag for their entire lives of "when they lived in NY" *eyeroll* No one, unless they have some kind of legendary career will ever be able to maintain this lifestyle for more than a few years.
I know some people who have maintained apartments in these places but at great personal cost and great personal compromise. So, they're 40 years old, living in a postage stamp apartment with 3 roommates. They own nothing, haven't bought new clothes in some time and they eat ramen 5 days out of the week. But, hey! They live in the Village! Others have inherited rent controlled apartments that have been in their family for years. They are the exception.
REAL NYers live in the outskirts of Queens, The Bronx, Brooklyn (not the trendy parts), Staten Island. We realize that Manhattan and some artsy parts of Brooklyn are literally gated communities for the extremely wealthy. You are always on the outside looking in. There are many different NYs and it's all based upon your economic class, your family and your current wealth. For the most part, NY isn't for you, even if you live here. That's the TRUTH from a born and raised NYer who's family has been here for multi-generations.
If I were you, I'd find a smaller secondary city with a bunch of cool shops, great restaurants that really wants to make a go of it in 2022. Some Midwestern and Southern cities are going through this right now. Go there, make a name for yourself. Be a big fish or a whale in small pond. You will have a much better time, have better connections, things will be cheaper, better quality of life and you'll have a CHANCE of making something of yourself. You can do almost EVERYTHING you can do in NY in a smaller city, much better, cheaper and faster.
So shocked this doesn’t have more likes. Very spot on, honest perspective for people to consider
Love your videos Shelby! Each is better than the previous one… interesting, engaging, high quality, perfect editing.
From home improvements in PS to nomadic life you really are a great storyteller!

I have visited NYC several times and love it but went there one Christmas and was surprised how cold it was! (I'm from CA) and realized that there was no way I could get up early and go to work in the snow. Just not in my DNA but it's the most exciting city in the world!
Glad you enjoyed the city that never sleeps (except in 2020)!! Love your these vlogs! Can definitely tell how much work you put into this!!
As someone who knows they’re going to live in New York at some point in my life whether it’s short term or long term, I loved this video! So insightful!
Shelby’s content is above and beyond and always sooo amazing
yes to all of this! You can get a little more space by going to Yorkville or the Upper West Side and its a little quieter up there too. Super nice and you can still get downtown easily
When my husband and I were dating, he lived in Queens (Elmhurst neighborhood). Our jobs took us out of state, but if we moved back to NY, Queens would be my top choice.
I lived in Sunnyside when I lived in New York! 😊
My bf is from astoria and it's such a cute area! Also short train ride to Manhattan
Very good video as always, Shelbs! Absolutely love the content you do!
This video is so perfectly done and fun to watch, great editing! It could totally be a whole series of different cities, all the best
Very enjoyable and informative. Shelby is a master at her craft!
I lived in Yorkville in 2015 and LOVED it! I paid $1775 for a one bedroom (5th floor, walk up). It was definitely more of a walk to the subway but it was a bit quieter and near the park by the East River 😊
Yorkville is such a great neighborhood and also $1775 doesn’t sound too bad even for a 5th floor walk up!
So happy to finally see this video after watching all of the vlogs! Nice work Shelby!
I moved to NYC by myself almost 20 years ago at 27 yrs old. I had a job and found a room in Hell’s Kitchen with a stranger. Met my husband while there, I brought him back to the west coast after we had a kid. Where you live definitely depends on how much you make. I paid $1,400 for a bedroom in a luxury building 42nd and 11th. It’s expensive my advise would be save enough for 1 years rent before moving there.
Wow I recently lived in this area of Hell’s Kitchen as well and you don’t want to know what I paid for a one bedroom just two years ago… 😂
Completely agree with how expensive it is!
check out upper Manhattan, the Bronx, queens, Staten, there's so much more than lower Manhattan and the adjacent areas you have here on video and some areas are actually a lot cheaper to the tune of thousands but you'd rather be closer to the visually appealing and the "grunge" of the east village. clearly that guys never been in the Bronx where my grandmother lives. that's the issue with reviewing other YT personalities. they tend to float in nicer fit for video locations.
Dont trade west coast LA for east coast LA. Also louis Rossman, for NYC street view content, he finally moved out of NY.
such an awesome video Shelby!! I'm from OC and I feel like the natural progression is to move to LA but this definitely gave me some things to think about 😍 love your content as always!
gonna be spending a month there! tips for the winter are definitely gonna be helpful! 🥶
Great video as always Shelby :) Your videos always put me in a good mood and your voice is peaceful and nice to listen to :)
These videos are so well done. I really enjoy watching
Love this video! The editing is stunning. 🤩 I live in Downtown Brooklyn/Fort Greene like Kristee, and I love it here!
Extremely well made video!!! Love the editing, a lot of info and everything!!
Good

love your videos, this one is a fav. thank you for putting the map too!! thats helpful
Loved this video!! Your videos are always so engaging, particularly loved the editing on this one xx
I just want to say wow. this is some great editing.Being around you is like being on a happy little vacation. Congratulations on such an amazing achievement, Good job.
The ferry is the best way to travel between Brooklyn and Manhattan. Winter in NYC can be intense.
LOVE the ferry!
You have such amazing B-Roll footage. And the editing is amazing.
Enjoyed this video on NYC. My wife and I are born and raised New Orleanians and at 73, we definitely call this home. However, we love visiting Manhattan, especially the Upper Westside. Whenever we visit Manhattan we either stay in a AirBnb or Hotel in the Upper Westside. Always want to be close to Central Park for my morning jogs, and later a walk to Zabar’s for some deli treats. Broadway is full of shopping opportunities. To us, the Upper Westside is the best neighborhood to experience life in the “Big Apple”.

Love that you stay in the Upper West Side when visiting here!
I feel like so many people coming into the city are only open to staying Downtown or in Midtown.
This is honestly such good advice/a great idea for people visiting NYC to stay in this area. 👏🏻
Amazing video, Shelby!! Wow!
love this series! i’m from LA and have been so sick of the west coast lately
I live in Yorkville and I love it. It's very affordable and close to the train, bus, ferry! It's not as crazy as downtown. I Love it!

Upper West is my fav neighborhood, check that out next time maybe. right next to Central Park
Yo my man, you left the Bay Area some time ago, right?

As someone living in Europe, NYC seems to have so much more in common with western European cities than cities in California.
Yes hence why it’s called new YORK. It’s a play off of York in the UK when the British colonized it. American revolution… Hamilton explains it decently well. California is more Spanish inspired so it would not resemble a wester European cities but it has more Spanish inspired tones.
@@88ashjen You do know that Spain is a country in Western Europe right?
@@88ashjen Spain isn't a Western European country?? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!? hahahahahaha!!!!!
@@88ashjen Spain is in western europe..
@@88ashjen Please tell me this comment is a joke.
I love that you highlighted another borough besides Manhattan. Investing in a high quality winter coat is so important I can’t stress that enough. Love my Canada goose jacket it was so worth it and I’ve been able to invest on cuter new coats with years here
Love your videos Joy!
My winter coat becomes my best friend literally half the year here lol
Fantastic video - time and effort really shines through. Congrats!
Some nice shots. Nice cinematographic choices. Informative too. Well done.
This was great, i especially appreciated you mentioning the winter as it was the main factor that held me back from considering to live there, I love the walkability and creative buzzing energy, after this you got me thinking even more about it. Thank you!
Completely agree! I love NYC so much but the winters are brutal here.
And I even grew up in the Northeast my entire life and I still think that 😂
It's been a while since these videos have been made by Shelby. And I love the fact that they're back
I love the idea of living in New York, it looks so cozy with all the shops and bars, but I don’t think I ever actually could. Really interesting video!!
Great video Shelby! B roll was on point as always😫
Not planning to move to New York but I have been once and loved it. Great job on this video! Such great editing too as usual!
from a new yorker, brooklyn is just as expensive as manhattan. some parts like Williamsburg, dumbo, and downtown brooklyn are just as expensive as soho, west village, etc. also harlem exists along with queens, the bronx, etc...
Lic is crazy expensive too! It’s not 2013 anymore
@@evasinnn yes exactly! I was just on streeteasy and finding a decent one bedroom or studio under $2k in any “desirable” part of the city is next to impossible. NYC is really pricing out people who are single & want to live alone lol
I’m shocked that no one ever talks about Astoria…but I also don’t want prices going up even more haha
😆
Please don’t mention it! I miss when Astoria was an affordable fun and safe neighborhood
@@kawtaraaddi7629 😆😆
Because influencers don’t like to acknowledge the other boroughs lol
True, born in Astoria and lived here my whole life, the amount of transplants moving in made ditmars unrecognizable
Obsessed with the editing style and how much time and effort this took 😍always wanted to move to nyc so this video is perfect
I've never been to New York, so seeing these videos was a lot of fun!
I think you did a good job on getting information on only a small part of Manhattan, as someone who's young and moved here alone at 22, I can tell you that there are so many nicer neighborhoods that offer good pricing and modern renovation, and a lot to do around it! Upper west side and Upper east side pretty much 60-100th have everything you could think of and train access is superb! I know you only had a month to do this so great job none the less!! NYC def takes a solid 2 years to fully grasp the greatness of it and even then that may not be enough time hahaha
Completely agree on including the uptown neighborhoods!
There can actually be an entire video just on these two neighborhoods alone.
This is such a great video! I've only visited NYC but I'm definitely a fan of Greenwich Village and East Village. :)
It would’ve been great if you featured real New Yorkers and not just the transplants that move to NYC. Right now we are getting a really generic view of NYC.
Great video for showing the more popular neighborhoods. One area that is really overlooked is Astoria Queens, where I live now (6years). It's trendy and lots of 20s -30s and its much quieter but still Manhattan accessible with 15 min subway ride to midtown.
Loved this! I lived in NYC a few years ago, during and after going to FIT, and I would have loved a video like this. Right now I enjoyed it because i know all the places you were talking about and enjoyed seeing them again :)
Really great video, thanks Shelby!
Another great informative video with crazy mad editing skills!! Thank you for putting so much passion into your content and how it’s laid out for us! ♥️
Thank you for watching and glad you like the editing!! Tried extra hard on this one

The editing is definitely on par! 👏🏻
Great vid! Loved the editing and structure.
Shelby, stop teasing us and just move to New York!!! 😊❤️
I think she is buying a house in Seattle, Monica mentioned this in her last video.
Great video! I think this is a perfect guide for people who are considering different neighborhoods in the city.
The Washington Square and NYU are located in the Greenwich Village and East Village. The West Village is more west of 6th avenue. I used to live on Thompson Street bet Bleecker and Houston, so I know the area very well
I just love the way you make and shoot your content... Its really some quality work shelby!❤️

I love New york ! This city is amazing ! Thank you for this video.
by far the best “moving to Ny” advice video I’ve found on yt! super dope content, gained a sub 🙂
it was a visual treat and nicely composed shots!
it has been 20 degrees or lower lately and heattech is a lifesaver with a black puffer
Great video. Keep these New York ones coming. It’s interesting seeing someone new to New York navigate the city.
As for Kelly’s comment about Texas, housing is getting expensive everywhere including Texas. It’s not uncommon to pay 1.8k to 2.5k for 750sq feet in a desirable part of Austin. This makes cities like New York and LA much more attractive to move to. If you’re going to pay a lot in rent, might as well be somewhere with access to just about everything.
Even in downtown Houston…rents are getting much closer to the New York average
I keep trying to tell people there are more than 5 cities in the US (LA, NYC, Portland, Seattle, and Austin) that have a great COL with plenty of things to do. While prices are going up everywhere, I couldn't imagine limiting myself to these 5 places, which are definitely at the top of the expense category.
@@bender3455 agreed. I’ve been looking into a few of these myself. I hear Asheville, NC is good as is Vancouver, Washington.
This is such a high quality video, and just getting shots of everything must have taken weeks. Well done. You did a good job explaining why people love NY so much. As a person who hasn't visited I only see what TV and movies (and YT) show me and the mystique never really made sense. This explains it a bit more.
It took forever to make this lol worth it though it turned out nice I think!
A very helpful video, not planning on moving there, but it is very helpful even when visiting. So thank you for this.
I love your I❤NY shirt! You look like one of the Olsen twins in the New York Minute movie!😍
LOVED that Kristee was in this video!!!
production quality is insane! so so good
I fricking love the New York videos, keep them coming :)
Lovely video thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
most of those "west village" video clips are actually greenwich village lol
Very good video🙌👏 Shelby, i really learned more about NYC and how is living there ( of course to live there is like most of big cities with pros and cons) the way you made it , doing interviews , talking with some new yorkers and also people is living there ,it makes me to enjoy the video and hold the best info about all the neighborhoods

Great production and editing! I could see myself living there from March to October, somewhere near a warm beach the rest of the year.
We had a really warm November this past year and December - Christmas season is just magical.
Agreed though Jan, Feb - it's better to schedule trips then.
Whoa I love Kelly's Stamps voice this video is very educational for anyone looking to move to those areas
Bingeing on your videos while on my 9th day of isolation.. more vlogs please! Stay safe and well Shelby! Much love from Philippines ❤️
grew up near chicago. it’s so funny to me seeing people wearing big puffer jackets in 40 degree weather. the other day it was 20 degrees, after it being in the negatives for a week, and i was outside in a sweatshirt 🤣
MN here. Laughing at how they need heat layers for 40 degrees. We wear shorts for 40. Below zero and then maybe I’ll bring out the puffer!
Suprised Chicago doesnt get mentioned more as a transplant destination. It basically has all the pros of NYC or other east coast cities in terms of culture and mobility, but the Cost of living is lower and generally home ownership is a lot easier there than New York
Kind of fun to watch these videos as a *former* NYC resident of many years who finally left 6 months ago

Being born & raised in CA I’ve never experienced 4 seasons

One of the things I’ve so wanted to do is visit the Empire State Building and see the whole view of New York at night. You get really get some amazing wallpaper grade level shots from there
Manhattan is a pretty interesting island. Next, Shelby can go to Penn Station and take the NJ Transit to Newark or Camden. Exploring the ghettos will be good. 😛😛😛
I love your videos, but really wish you would have highlighted more perspectives on living in NYC outside of just influencers’! I live in UES in a 6th floor walk up building From 1910, and while it’s obviously still expensive it’s so affordable compared to LES/EV/WV. Plus there are rarely any rats or bugs up here (I’ve never seen in my apt 🤞🏼). I love going downtown but there is SO much up here from restaurants to bars, and Central Park is literally a 10 min walk away. Plus it’s so much quieter and cleaner in general up here. Was happy that I heard Yorkville in the video but I don’t think people realize just how great living uptown is Bc all everyone constantly talks about is “below 14th st.”
This was so useful thank you :)
That's amazing! Shelby, I saw you in a guessing jobs in NYC video earlier today and was like: how do I find her on UA-cam? Guess what, I just got this video of yours in recommendations. Magic or algorithms?😹 Thank you much for sharing your experience. I truly enjoyed watching the video👍
I’m from nyc n want to move to Houston… I think the best thing to do is look how people showcase your city to see how accurate these UA-camrs are.. she did a wonderful job on covering Manhattan.. there is more to nyc .. queens Long Island sta island… Harlem.. Bronx with nice safe n less expensive neighborhoods… me personally once u go with a diverse neighborhood any where in USA.. that’s the best deal
