There is no way in hell I'd pay $3495 for a one bedroom. Jeez. It must be really hard leaving an abusive situation in areas with these types of renting situations.
That's just New York and most all of those northeast states. My rent is high for Texas at $2400 however I have a 1600 sq foot 2 story town home, 2 car garage, small yard, 2 bed 2.5 bath
Or the streets.
Some people want to live in Manhattan at all costs. You can do much better in the outer boroughs.
@@patrickm2912not true.. it’s for a major city. I live in Massachusetts. My last rent was twelve hundred for a four bedroom duplex. And I pay less than eight hundred now that I have a mortgage.
@@thaismatsumoto *MOST
The first apartment was “cozy” and ideal for $300 a month. Thirty-five hundred a month? No way!
Nah-$500 is fair. Lol
@@AshleySpeaks4U No 300 is To Much Money ! What Kind of Job EVEN Pays People Enough To EVEN AFORD THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is NO WAY there can't Be That Many STUPID people ??? My First Apartment was Only $150.00 A Month for A One Bed one Bath and A Nice Big Kitchen and Walk in Closet .
It's a sad day to hear "It's hard to find an apartment less than $4,000."
Market crashing. Wait till middle of January. Everyone gets fired between Christmas break and first week of January. Economy sinks. Rents are going to go down
This county is in the torlet. -alexander from letterkenny
I would never live in a city. I have a 2 bedroom house with extra space upstairs (story and a half) and a quarter acre, fenced in, in the nicest neighborhood I've ever lived, WITH pets, for $900.
That’s awful! I would never make it there! No way! You can get a decent apartment here for around 650.00
In my country you could rent a decent house for USD 4k/year.
I like how he calls them “affordable “. 😂 I am just blown away by these New York prices. I have a 1200sq ft home and pay $1150 on my mortgage.
My studio in Santa Monica in 2013 $1652. 250 sq ft. I have a 2600 sq ft home in TN…. Mortgage $2200 a month🤷🏼♀️
Yep, definitely, lol! I also like how he called the spaces "huge", lol! My 1,100 sqft apt (which includes a 10×10 sunroom and the complex is surrounded by lovely trees) in NC is $1,300. When I moved in in 2008 it was $700.
Is it difficult to get mortgages in 🇺🇸 and are deposits huge, I struggle to understand why people pay huge rents instead of buying 🤔
@@alexandrastevens8892 most people don't have enough to afford down payments when you factor in so much debt already.
Yeah but you don’t have a M&M store 2 minute walk!!… I’m being sarcastic
New Yorkers are an entirely different breed of people than me. I would NEVER pay even a fraction of those prices for rent. I also could never live in a city like that. I can't even wrap my brain around so many people everywhere! I'd have a panic attack every time I left the house. But very interesting to see how others live.
I agree can’t understand it at all
facts
I'm from a 1.3 million "metropolis" and you couldn't pay me to move back. NYC was just a bigger (and MUCH ruder) version of it. I didn't get the hype back then and I still don't get it now. Currently in a 20K city and as much as we loved it at first, it quickly became apparent that even this is too big. Looking at moving later this year or sometime next year.
I hear so many people say they pay for the experience to live in NY but I used to work for the city of NY and the calls I used to get put me off to even visiting let alone live there
Its like paying 4x more than I'd be willing to pay to live in my absolute nightmare of a city. Don't understand the fascination with NY.
Every time I see these videos I feel claustrophobic, and I can't breathe! Living in Alaska, if I cannot see mountains and trees when I look outside my window, I would feel like I was in a prison. I only pay $700 a month for rent, with the lots of trees outside my windows. To me, to see nothing but buildings or allies, it's just horrible. It's like a prison.
I would be to embarrassed to invite anyone over to an apartment that small....those apartments are for people who have checked out of life, no family/friends...just work & back home kind of life😂
Alaska is the the state where you have fresh air an people have respect for each other 🤗
Dude I’m living in Los Angeles right now coming from the country up by the Canada border and let me tell you it feels exactly like a prison looking outside it’s like torture I can’t wait for the day when I can afford to escape the city
Only plus side is there is more money to be made
But who friggin cares for what you have to trade in
Fresh air, sanity, breathing room, personal space, etc
Plus the outside of these apartment windows are always extremely dirty, so it reduces the amount of light. We're on family land 20 minutes outside of a city in the central US. We have a garden and trees and room to grow... I feel very blessed.
@@AnitaLau-s5z At the end of the day, life isn't money. Life is peace and freedom. I fervently pray you get where you want to be...
What they consider a walk-in closet in NYC is amazing 😂 just because you can fit in it while it’s empty, doesn’t make it a walk-in.
🤣 I know my walk in closet in Miami 5 x bigger than that I should change the name apparently 😅
@@amparovazquez3814 i have 2 walk in closets in my house that are the size of some of these bedrooms 😂 it’s just so funny cause he will be standing in them and be like “it a nice walk in!” like no….a walk in closet is where you can have all your stuff and have room to walk around. i can walk into my hallway closet, but it’s not a “walk-in” 😂😂
You are so right about that. It's not a damn walk-in !
It drives me crazy that they don't take the time (about 10-15 minutes) to flip the hinges on the refrigerator when the doors do not open towards the rest of the kitchen.
Oh my gosh, SAME!
Can u actually have a universal fridge where u can move the hinges to the other side ?I've never herd or seen ad not all fridge would have the oppurtunity to do that
Put it this way if I did that to my fridge it would be going to the tip it wouldnt work anymore
@@Ebz42o probably more than 90% of fridges that the door swing from one side you can reverse the hinges. Some are much easier than others to do. Fun fact, a lot of clothes dryers you can reverse the hinges also.
i love that a random lady from the street gets to be apart of the video
Zara did awesome
I have always wanted to see some of the places when they get rented- just to see how people use the space
For sure
And the way that guy set up his studio was awesome!
My son bought a house recently in a Seattle suburb built in the 2000s, 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 baths, 4 car garage, mountain views, gated community, 5 acres, monthy payment with hoa fee just over 4 thousand. NY prices are cRaZy
Don't tell Seattle about New York rents..they'll be trying to compete..😢
@@janeysiegrist5061 that's not rent it's mortgage. I know my son paid under $2,500 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apt he rented before he bought a house but I don't think he had an in unit washer and dryer in his apt. Watching the places Cash shows makes me feel rich in my 3 bedroom 2 bath townhouse, it's super spacious by NY standards. Garage, deck big sinks, laundry room, storage room, walk in closet. I'm living large and didn't know it. lol
See, I wouldn't live in Seattle, either, because it's a liberal 💩🕳️. Sorry.
Watching these NYC apartments for rent has taught me something sad. You can turn a closet into an apartment and charge people whatever you want. These landlords need controlled somehow.
The landlords also have to pay thousands in taxes. NY is just insanely expensive. I would never live there.
Hmm. Controlling landlords. I'm not really sure how that would help anything.
I liked that you had a potential renter, there was a person willing to show their studio (cute setup!), and of course it’s another Sunday video with Charles. The best!
Still can't get over how the prices have gone up so much since the 1950s for an apartment
@@Grace-qr9cf Try the inflation calculator, to see $1 in 1955 is $10.48 in 2021. $11.67 from 1950. Postwar inflation. It happened after WWI, too.
Dude no setup needed you can grab any New Yorker and ask them if they want to rent a place that's an average affordable apartment. It's clean and fairly nice the only problem is that if she wants to have a roommate it's going to have to be a sofa bed.
@@Grace-qr9cf rent control is hard to find.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I watch these videos for entertainment but I could never justify myself spending almost 4K on a one bedroom apartment, cramped like that with almost nothing going for it besides "it's in NYC." Practically anywhere else 4K a month would get you such a nice place.
It's also in one of the most expensive areas, in the most expensive part of NYC (Manhattan). 4k a month can get you 1500 sq ft easily with modern interiors n the outer boroughs. Maybe even for 2k-3k. And you aren't completely in bumfuck nowhere and have freedom to travel by many means of transportation depending on the need. That's the difference with the places the commenters talking about how cheap their place is. If you have to get in your car just to go to a convenience store that's 1000 ft away because of lacking infrastructure, like alot of americans, you know why so many people are obese.
Maybe the place you live is batshit boring?... Wages and opportunities aren't the same everywhere you go. People seem to lack brain cells to understand that. Sometimes people move to NYC for experience and then move out for a more comfortable living situation. Also 4k in NYC is such a exaggerated number... A normal place goes between 1-2k...
@@flighted2513 I'd still take the lack of public transportation in exchange for being able to park MY OWN car in MY OWN garage and be able to go WHEREVER I wanted at WHATEVER TIME of day or night.
They pay people with worthless degrees (gender studies) $100 an hour. That's how they can afford it. The entire city is out of touch.
that studio where the guy lived, he had it set up really nice, I liked it.
I'm blown away everytime I see these tiny apartment videos in New York city. I like to be home most of the time so this would be claustrophobic for me!
I could not agree more. Love to be home. This is to claustrophobic.
Windows are the worst part, I'm fine with tight spaces, but a window facing a brick wall... big nope
Yeah I think a lot of people who live in NYC just go out all the time. I can see why!
Can you imagine living in one of those during shut down when NYC was stringent about keeping people shut in? I would have left.
@@mortimerbrewster3671 like a jail cell that I never want to the inside of😆. But yeah typically I don’t think New Yorkers spend a ton of time at home. Big busy city life lots to do.
You are so interactive with the people Love how you pulled someone off the street to show an apartment. Not only do you know how to show apartments its so entertaining!! And love Charles too!
He better be good. He used to do what Charles does as the rental agent!
Interesting flex bringing a potential renter on board. I like it.
I love watching these NYC apartment videos cause I live in CA, and anytime I think my CA rent is insane, these videos make me feel so much better!
Well done, Cash and Charles. Don't know how you are finding the energy right now, Cash, but you have your growing family to provide for. And you do it with talent and adorableness.
Charles you're not bad yourself.
The fact that we take a sink sprayer and good water pressure for granted here in Alabama.. big ups to the peeps who live in NYC.
If you live in Lowndes county you can't even count on having a sewer connection.
Charles always has the best apartments
I guess living in the midwest have truly spoiled me. No way in hell I'm ever going to pay 3, 4 thousand a month for cracker Jack spot apartments in New York. Too small for me, I need to spread out and relax. 🤔🤔
Same and I thought Chicago was high ASF lol 😂
i find it hard to understand that people have that amount of money to rent an apt.....i am used to Midwest prices with a ton of space......great job CASH.
I used to work for the company that produced those air conditioners. It’s based in San Antonio, TX. Pronounced “Fred-Rick’ . New York has the biggest customer base😊
They're good they've been around for decades.
The "name sounds French" makes me laugh as it is So Germanic
It saves window shape. I have two. Great ACs
Im in Houston and I have one in my studio.
Interesting. I'm from San Antonio
I like the format of having a renter come along with you for the tour, makes it twice as fun to watch!
No way in hell I would ever pay those prices. My 4-bedroom 2 1/2 bath, 2 car garage house costs $1100 a month to own NOT rent.
I like how you find possibilities in even crappy apartments
I'm currently doing laundry in my 1 bedroom, $1000 per month, in unit laundry, Colorado Springs, Co downtown loft apartment. Newly remodeled.
Good for you?
At least it has an elevator at $3500/month. Imagine cutting the tile and flooring for that 1st apartment? The $2900/month 3rd floor studio wasn't bad but depending upon one's health--stairs are still stairs. But our Charles SAVES the day once again! That 2 bedroom at $3900.month is an opportunity even if it's at ground level. That unit is huge! I could even work with that second unit that is going for the same price. I might even like that one a bit better simply because it has the step landing.
I'd say for once I actually think all aren't bad. Surprising, right?
Totally agree, I think when it comes to the "window to nowhere" places (or fire escapes) that's perfect for the new york city crowd that loves to watch movies and play video games, so their focus is elsewhere.
Shout-out to any of the NYC "shut-ins", y'all my friends! 😁♥️
I liked the ground level one more
Liked that you had a real person who was looking for an apartment. I hope she rented it although it was small for 2850. But as I've learned every apartment is small unless you want to pay big bucks. Charles was in a good mood riding on the sidewalk with no cares. See ya
Cash's apartments had glitzier finishes, but they were small! Charles' apartments were more conservative, but they were much larger and a much better value. No contest here!
I don't understand why the video is titled "Last Tenant Went Crazy Because Apt. So Small" not one of these units that he featured was described as "small." And there are other videos that have absolutely nothing to do with the mildly sensationalistic titles. So...why?... He must be creating these titles to snag people into watching. Why resort to this? I enjoy watching them and part of the appeal is the fact that he seems like a pretty straightforward person but I have to say, that these tactics (while you can say that's it's not a big deal), to me, somehow it undermines his whole effort.
I was waiting to see the hilarious shenanigans from the short you & Charles made in that one apartment. It was truly comedy gold! 🏆😅😅😅
I was born and raised in N.Y.C, but have been in Los Angeles since 1974. Currently me and my sister are renting a 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment for 2,100 and believe me it is the least expensive I found over 1 year ago. So obviously now I couldn't even find a studio or 1 bedroom in N.Y.C for $1,200 which is all I could afford alone.
This video resonates so much to some of the tenants living in my apartment complex. I've just finished discussing with the property manager to make sure they can cope living in a small tiny confined space before signing the contract. Charles one up you again
Why do I live in Brazil and can't stop watching videos about apartments in New York?
If I was looking to rent a place in NYC, the second of Charles' apartments was a home run! The last place would be okay for someone with kids. That in-between area could be the kids' play and homework area, and the smaller bedroom could hold bunk beds and enough clothes storage for two.
These apts. were surprisingly good ! Pulling a random New Yorker off the street was great and asking a next door neighbor for a tour was even better.
Charles , as always , put in an Oscar - -worthy performance ---- love him ! Wish him a very Merry Christmas from me.
Much love to you , Cash , and your precious family.Merry Christmas 2022 and a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2023 ! ---- from South Florida but a lover of NYC.(PS : I couldn't correct those lines ---- dying phone.)
So weird, like everything in those rooms.. Air conditioning/fridge/washer/dryer/doors/etc cost about as much as a month's rent. Like.. high rent should be a crime
This makes me so thankful that we have a 4 bedroom 2 ba house and only pay around 1/4 of what these apartments are renting for. We also have an open field across from our house where the dogs can run and have fun!!
Cash and Charles pushin all the buttons. 😂
Wow!!!! This is very small. We love watching tiny houses / apartments. We are living in a motorhome right now so we feel the stress of tiny spaces. Love watching these. Chelsea and Mike
It's worth maybe 800/mnth.. but where would i put my 8 cats and 2 doggos? I actually really like this one lol I love little holes in the wall.. i think that shows my ancestry! People, you have the power to make this society a better place.. an AFFORDABLE place. You just gotta admit that everyone deserves a place to live. And then work for that end.
I payed 800 for 3x that space for my last apartment 3 years ago. And it overlooked a pond. It is insane how expensive this closet is.
Bro be flirting when bro doesn't even know he's accidentally flirting. 😂 My man Cash!
I actually think all the apartments were decent. I love the staircases in the 1st 2 places & the 1st even had an elevator!! That's a definite +. The 1st place was quirky. Not for everyone, especially with that super tight kitchen. But that 2nd, for a studio it was surprisingly large. You know I loved all of Charles's, even the 1 on the 1st floor. Super nice room sizes. I just can't figure out why there's different styles of wood floors in some of them. Charles is definitely starting to match Cash's comedic style!
Yeah, Friedrich sounds French. 😵💫
If that first floor is in a walk-up building I would consider that a big plus, especially bringing home groceries.
Merry Christmas and Happy New York to the entire Jordan family. May 23 be the best and most prosperous year ever. Looking forward to all the great videos coming up in the months ahead. And maybe another journey to the far east? Having been to Tokyo, I really appreciate those trips. Thanks again, Cash. And Charles the Great.
what kind of money do new yorkers make a month to afford almost 4k in rent? I´m paying 500€ for my 1 bedroom apartment. I´m living in Germany though.
A big plus for me is having a separate kitchen, even if small with appliances that just fit the space. A lot of apartments have appliances lined up in the living room or a hallway which are not really kitchens though that's what they are called.
Good Morning
Good morning from Alberta 🇨🇦
Love the new segment. Stranger off the street opinion on the studio. Nice studio and last 2 were good. Reasonable
You’re the best Cash, your energy is contagious, and when you’re with Charles, it’s a blast, he can sell a air conditioner to someone who lives in the North Pole.
This is nuts!!! Never, would I rent something that small for that amount of money!!!
Wow look at that parquetry flooring on the second apartment floor , simply beautiful.
It was hard to breathe during the first tour.. it feels so claustrophobic.. how could anyone want to live in NY THIS bad .. I don’t even like visiting if I’m being honest 🥴 .. over $3000 for a one bedroom is insane
Cash and Charles you two have best and unique apartments to show.
The energy, music and the bantering was awesome in this episode. Cash, I'm not looking to rent but I was very entertained. Thank you.
Merry Christmas to you and your family..I'll be in NYC next week. Hopefully my daughter and I will see you roaming around the city!
I love when you and Charles collaborate together on videos.
This is Gonna b so Insightful CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Sunday😀….
If you want to have more space for less...move to a small town. I think I would get depressed living in a big city. Props to people who can make their spaces like this homey and comfortable.
So I live in Southern California which is so very different from New York City obviously, but I live on a first floor apartment on the street, like a walkup. I think technically the building I'm in is a 16-plex in a small apartment community (47 units). I live in the suburbs but it feels more like I'm living in a city when I don't open my front door to a hallway. Can't stand dealing with elevators and stairs all the time. Broke my leg last year and had trouble with the two steps I have to navigate here. I know all my neighbors and we foster community, know each other's pets, cars, etcetera. I'd like to imagine that's the appeal of a first-floor apartment, but I've never done it in a big big city. Had a studio in Northeast Los Angeles that was maybe a 28-plex and that was a quirky unit. I lived on the first floor but the building had a semi-basement so you'd still have to walk up about 12 steps to the hallway. We'd get possums in the yard, even smack dab in the middle of Silverlake. It's so cool seeing how people live in other places, these videos provide such a great insight into what people value for the life they want to live. How we prioritize amenities differently based on our own personal needs.
I love the background music with 80s tv series vibe👍 Miami Vice like
I can't get over what people pay to live in the city!!! My mortgage payment for a 2k sqft home on 7.2 acres is only $850!
Getting a stranger to view the studio apartment that is apartment shopping. The fridge doors you can just remove and relocate them on the other side to make it easier to use it. The third floor is hard to move in & out plus your groceries.
Good afternoon from Scotland, Edinburgh 🙏🏻
To : Typical Speedie ---- Good afternoon , Edinburgh in beautiful Scotland and a very Merry Christmas 2022 and a very Happy New Year 2023 ! ---- from South Florida , USA.
I really like your upbeat videos!! You cover all the bases!! You show us everything a renter would need to know!!
I always wait for the tour where Cash breaks something when he drops, slams shut, pulls drawer open aggressively,bangs doors etc. 😂🤣😂🤣
Glad it wasn’t today.
I know, he seems to love slamming doors, lol.
crash! bang! boom! o wait... its just Cash 🙂
always does. certainly needs to be more careful
@@curtbonnell4308 And amplifying the sound.
If it breaks that easily then it shouldn't have been built that way
Affordable in Manhattan means location with COMPROMISE! Rent is money NOT going to your equity nor ownership while you save time, money, energy, and aggravation not needing a long commute nor a need for a car. With a micro apartment, you only sleep there and move around the city working, studying, and doing everything for planning and acting on a better future.
All good apartments but #3 is by far the best. Cash picking up a 'random' girl on the street was hilarious! Oops! BTW Cash, what have you done with your bike?
I love what you think is a large apartment!! I pay 800 a month for a two bedroom town home full amenities , 1250 sq ft.
You two would be fun to hang with, I love the video's you do together! And I liked the potential renter too!
I can’t believe she said “this is huge” imagine how small are all the others she has seen! This is just sad..
I lived in a closet in Hawaii once so these places don't look too bad.
I would cry paying my rent every month if I had to pay those prices 😭
More average people looking to rent joining you on your tours pls! I first found you during 2020-2021 off videos where you were helping others apartment-hunt, and don't think I've seen you include that in videos in a long while lol. The apartments also looked pretty good given the prices and the areas (probably good potential for any couples), though I could swear that last one with the step landing we'd seen before... (or did Charles tour it on his channel?) Also enjoyed the chill vibes this had for a Sunday video.
6:30 that ground floor apartment just wonder how much street noise comes through those windows
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dude the first apartment is so small, one has to go outside to makeup their mind. But it is what it is, and the NYC rent keeps going up like the foam of a beer. However, good video as usual.
Really reminds me my dorm at university. It was smaller as i only had a room and a shared toilet and shared living room. The fact that my only window is facing a close brick wall hasn’t help at all and I feel enclosed...after one session, I rather do the 2hrs daily transit than staying in that dorm.
All of Charles apartments are always good
This makes me feel better about our 580sq ft one-bedroom unit for about $800 a month including utilities.
4k for a studio 😭
I rented a hotel in the Bronx 2005 and it was the smallest hotel room I've ever been in for $310 a night.. crazy how much it is to live in the ghettos of NYC I pay 3800 a year on my 1500 sf 3 bedroom 2 bath with a fenced-in yard and that 3800 also includes all my utilities. I can't imagine living in NYC ever in my life at those prices.
Charles with the clutch 1900$ per person apartment. A steal for manhattan and no compromises. First floor so you can easily bring in an ebike like charles’ 120lb behemoth street legal bike easy 🤣
It is nice to see ones where someone is living in there and you can see how they have it set up.
$3,500 is way too expensive for an apartment where you can barely turn around. Especially since most salaries are not keeping up with the cost of living in NYC.
im from europe and these apartments are a dream of mine just a small apartment in new york i could chill all day long
When I see Charles I think “smooth jazz.”
I hope that girl gets the apartment! It really suited her cute personality.
This video is packed with content Cash.
It was very interesting when you showed the apartment next door. Maybe do another channel where you show the apartment for rent and then show the apartment next door. Like surprise! Show me your apartment.
Cash likes him a sink sprayer. 💦
I Love Charles!! And Cash!!
Friedrich sounds german not french.
Tiles are hell to clean. I hate tiled bathrooms.
Yes, they are, and if you don't have a bathroom window to pull out steam from the shower, mildew will be in that grout in a Jack Flash minute. I bought a new house and it had wall to wall carpeting in the bathroom, so unsanitary, between dampness, hair spray deodorant spray and surrounding the toilet, it was the first thing I ripped out..gads, what were the builders thinking?
I've lived in smaller... once had a bedsit that was originally a hallway. Had a massive window that took up nearly the whole wall at one end. A hand basin, a 2 ring bottled gas cooker, a mattress, a wonky armchair and a wardrobe. The room was about 7 feet wide and about 20 feet long.
I'd rather have no dishwasher and a bigger kitchen sink.
I love watching your channel! I have my daughter and husband watching you also
Hi!
I loved the random 80's music playing lolol
"Its hard to find a 1BR for less than 4g" - Why I turn down every job in NYC.
Also tells me that all jobs in NYC should pay better in regards to the cost of living so having to work 12 jobs doesnt have to be everyones life
@@jessm.porthos Add highest in the country state income tax and high sales tax and all of the sudden your $100k job can afford you a tiny room in a ghetto.
The 1st studio had a pretty nice layout. I would make the space next to the kitchen the living room and the space with the brick wall my bedroom.
