I Found a Micro NYC Townhouse… and It’s 106 Years Old
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лис 2024
- This Super Old Townhouse Has a New Soul... and I kinda Like it! Its in a 106 year old upper west side building right by central park, and the entire place was completely redone. It still got its charm, but theres a new kitchen, laundry, and even a full basement with 3 rooms and a 2nd bathroom! This townhouse is really cool, but as with all nyc apartments not everyone will fall in love with it. Let me know what you think of this nyc apartment tour 👍

"The show must go on." And what a show you put on with each video. I've probably learned more about NYC from your videos than anywhere else thanks to your neighborhood descriptions. Thank you for providing such great content. Love your style!
But boy it's so expensive to live in NYC. Wow I love your videos I watch them every day
@@muffassa6739 It is, but salaries are higher and you don't have to have a car. You definitely have to get used to smaller apartments/homes, but there are a lot of plusses, too.
@@TrainsFerriesFeet Salaries may be higher if u have a job. Landlords redesigned large apartments into tiny apartments where it's hard to turn around and breathe. Why spend ur whole paycheck on rent?
The destruction wrought on your living room is the most beautiful part of this video. 🥰
No, Violet is.
@@kamikazitsunami
I agree. My sentiment exactly.
@@robwilliams2410 She's freaking adorable. Half Japanese is awesome.... I should know. Lol
Second apartment was great. Lots of closets and laundry 🧺. Who wouldn’t want to rent it? I would but not moving to NYC.
Poor Cash...I feel so guilty complaining so much yesterday because I didn't get a video and got all excited when I saw this one on my feed a few minutes ago but he looks so tired 😩 so I feel guilty getting so much pleasure out of something that makes him so tired. Sorry Cash...I promise not to be so greedy in the future 😔 we even got a bonus seeing Violet having a good time 🤪 Hope you find some time for yourself Cash. Thanks so much for the vids but please don't wear yourself out. We can wait. It's not easy but neither is running through New York showing us all these apartments. You're very much appreciated!
FrankiesFancy Are you married with a small child? Have you considered THAT might make him tired? :)
The brick ceiling in the second apartment is a barrel vaulting, very strong - sign of a well built building of its era.
Thanks! That's an interesting bit of info.
The commentary and showings are everything ... thank you Sir!
Your toddler 😍
Good morning all,
Love the second apt. Would turn the living room next to the kitchen into a formal dining room. Would use the upstairs bedroom with the most natural light as my living room. Downstairs, Would put a pool table & wet bar in the room with the little window. And the larger room in the back would be my home theater with surround sound system. I bet the acoustics are good down there. Great video tour. Get some rest.
That's a great idea!
Wow great ideas! 👌
@@thebadgerette69 Thanks. And I would completely mirror the lower level walls; just for the effect. The apt would have a slick, modern look. And be a fun place to host your friends.
If you can afford that apartment without roommates, you're winning in life! That'd be the way I'd do it too if I didn't need any. Unless you're planning on staying only a few years and can afford this though, you're better off buying something.
@@onlyzach1 Certainly. I agree with your assessment whole heartedly. I used to own a house in the suburbs, but I needed to take on housemates in order to afford to pay my mortgage & utilities. I hated having to rely on their financial assistance. Had to evict 2 of them and that was a tough situation. I've also had roommates in apartments; both negative & positive experiences.
Now that I'm collecting a Pension, I can afford to live alone. Thank God! Roommate are for the young. Once you reach a certain point in your life; old things are cast away.
I believe the rent for the apt in question is over $4,000 a month. Therefore, I would not be able to afford to live there alone. So this will have to remain in the "What if" column of my life.
Shalom.
Beautiful destruction. The joy of a little person enjoying her life. Sunday Funday and ☕ with Cash. And a Wine Fridge!!! \0/
Destruction of the living room. Same thing happens to me and my wife every day. My three kids mess up the living room and it’s hectic as hell. But I love my kids. 😀
You absolutely need your own HGTV show! You are very creative, in-depth with your reviews and consistent with your content. I envision you moving on from UA-cam very soon!
I just discovered your channel about a month ago. I love it!
VAULTED CEILINGS: In architecture, a vault typically refers to a self-supporting arched form, usually constructed of stone or brick, serving to cover a space with a ceiling or roof. This is what you see in the brick ceiling of the basement room. This allows heavy work to be done above.
Love the second place - especially the downstairs rooms. The kitchen is also nice despite how small it is
I really love your channel, thank you for so much great content!
The frist apartment is basic. The second one is nice. Cash you could never be boring. Violet is a real 💜 sweetheart. Have a good Monday! 🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃🧠♥️😃🦃
Hurricane Violet..
A very destructive, yet adorable, localized event 😂
Your video reminded me just how much I don't miss getting up in the morning and stepping on a Leggo on the way to make coffee. Both apartments are nice but I'd be worried about flooding or mold with the second one. Lots of room though. If you split the rent four ways it would be pretty affordable.
The key to having a basement is to be at or near the top of a hill or incline. I live in a valley and it takes forever for my yard to dry out after it rains. Luckily, I have a crawl space and not a basement.
Right. Been seeing a lot of places with basement areas lately. Though nice, I'd be worried about flooding especially in NYC after the last big storm.
Yes, I feel as if the basement parts of these flats are only acceptable when they're connected to a good upstairs--so IF a flood happened you could easily escape and not be trapped down there. Certainly all that stone and brick means you wouldn't have too much ruined woodwork...I just find basements creepy though. This one is no exception!
@@TrainsFerriesFeet It seems like maybe this building is on a slope. I didn't notice outside, but the room at one end of the basement has a full window and the other one only has a slit high in the wall.
I wonder why Cash has been calling most apartments "micro" or "mini", when they really aren't, at all. Doesn't stop me from watching, though, as I love his channel!
U must be a NY’r if it is regular size to you
@@forcedtoaudit9710 For me micro and mini are studio apartments with no seperate rooms at all, around 15sq meters. You walk in and everything in that apartment is there to be seen in that one block. Toilet is only seperate room.
I've wondered this as well. I think a lot of people look for videos about micro apartments or tiny houses so he gets access to more people who are looking for that type of video.
I'm guessing that Cash is experimenting with keywords to try and increase views and/or UA-cam algorithm recommendations. I've heard a lot of other YoutTube creators talk about how changing words in the video titles can have a noticeable impact.
They seem micro&mini to me, I feel claustrophobic when watching the videos of NYC apartments. Sheesh! But I live in TX so I guess our Definition of Micro versus yours way different! Lol have a good day y’all ! Stay safe !
Good morning from Oklahoma! I love your videos snd sense of humor!
That 2nd apartment is awesome... 2 baths, laundry, mini dishwasher.. nice!
That second apartment seems like a good one. But does it have a sink sprayer?
Good morning Cash and Violet!!! 🥰💜
Not so much the 1st apartment…. 2nd apartment is much better…
If you're young the 1st is perfect. You don't have a lot of things yet & your trust fund back account or mom & dad won't mind paying that rent, especially if it's shared. I think the bathroom is the nicest room in the place. Sure hope the landlord will put in a refrigerator. The 2nd is way better. That basement really is unique but no way can that last room be marketed as a bedroom with a window like that. The washer & dryer is a definite bonus. You definitely can tell how old that building is by the ceiling in the basement & stairs leading down there
It is so wild to me that there are people just talking about using your trust fund or having Mom and Dad pay your rent as a twenty-something as if that's a normal thing to have happen.
@@kbrennan3836 while taking your bachelor's degree I think it's fine, definitely better than student loans & what not. It'd be stupid not to accept such grace if offered.
Any assistance once you got your first college degree job is kinda eh.... To each their own I guess.
It is interesting to watch your videos and compare what Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 has to offer.
I have not looked at actual apartments to rent, for a long time, but it certainly is nice too see Landlords actually cleaning and fixing up apartments before they are rented out.
I love watching these videos, I'm in Australia so it's interesting. I still haven't seen carpet anywhere, it's all wooden floors, which I love but we have a mix of both here
In Manhattan carpet isn’t at all practical. That’s why.
I’m on the other side of the United States and it’s interesting for me too. It’s a completely different lifestyle from mine.
You have to go deep into the heart of Brooklyn and Queens for apartments that have been occupied for 40+ years by the grandparent generation for carpeting. And it mostly likely will (should) be ripped out.
Usually our bedrooms are carpeted and wooden or tiled floors the rest of the house or apartments, I actually don't like carpet it holds too many allergens, I've noticed rents are comparable with ours in the city's. It's very similar lifestyles which I find interesting. I've obviously never been to the States only travelled around Europe and that's a whole different world.
@@elizabethg7806 yeah, I don't like carpet either, but when you buy the house it's usually there somewhere and it's so damned expensive to rip up and get the floors done after forking out big $ for the house you just have to live with it for a few years.
Cash you would never be boring..Thank you for the effort it took you today to make your videos..I live in Tennessee and not looking for anything in New York...but I love your videos...thank you
That bathroom makes that apartment. Violet is the cutest tornado ever!
The basement ceilings in the second apartment have so much character. Upstairs front sunny room would be dining room, second room as an office. Downstairs a bedroom in the front and movie den/living room in the back. Great location and a lot of character.
"If you're a famous person you could blend in". Hilarious! Is the bird in the closet! I loved the video. The 2nd place is my favorite. And no one thinks you're boring!
Your mornings are similar to mine: Coffee and a living room full of toddler goodies lol
I walked by that bakery! You are by Russ & Daughters, Clinton Street Baking Company and Katz’s
I get up at 5:30 am for work and literally sleepwalk to the shower 🚿 Yet when I was little, my Dad said I’d be up @ 5am in my little toy kitchen like I had a job! Violet is the cutest 🥰
Definitely no on the first place, but I love the basement on the 2nd. My only real complaint with the 2nd is the lack of light from the windows.
Cash you have the cutest family around!!
Love when you show your sweet family. Thank you for giving up sleep to make a video for us!
It's all about the fit. The first one fits me perfectly. I was thrilled with all the quirks. Even the radiator..I had one like that. I learned to turn it off. All good
Oh wow! I love the second. I'd love the first too with a kitchen update. Thanks!
Happy Sunday Cash
Good Morning 🌞
You are not boring. What is important has changed. Which in my opinion,is good. I would not like I if my husband , liked to go to bars all the time
Good morning all. Love the second apartment. To he major drawback is the lighting especially downstairs. The kitchen is nice though. Thank you Cash.
I don't live in NY, and have no plans to do so. Still for some reason, I can't start my day without watching Cash give an apartment tour.
Dude, you are never boring! You just have to remember to mention the shrine option whenever you can!
Actually like that first place. Great separation between bedrooms and both excellent sizes. Finally a decent sized living space where you REALLY can have a full sized couch ! As for that STOVE with those 4 burners...well it pretty tiny. Bet they put in a half sized fridge too. Don't mind this place at all. I'd even take that back room ! Boring ? Who ever said you were boring ! ? Second apartment by the park is odd. The second odd shaped bedroom would be a pain to organize furniture of any sort. Basement is the only saving grace to justify that price.
What about making a video on what you can get now in New York for $1300-1500 vs what you were able to get during the height of the pandemic? That would be so interesting!!!
Cash that was so fun!!!! The thing is, if you rent the one in the East Village or on the West Side.... you are now an inhabitant of New York City!!!!
It's encouraging to see the even Cash can have a tough morning start from time to time.
A Swede walks into an Irish bar.......there's probably a non-politically correct joke in there somewhere.
Hah
Cash I lived in the lower east side my entire life. That first apartment you showed is also fairly close to several project buildings. Although the neighborhood is being gentrified it's good to at least mention both parts of the neighborhood.
Who wants to live in a basement. The bathrooms are beautiful, but they really had to get creative with the kitchen. Unfortunately, it’s a bit bizarre. You always do a good job of selling places that actually suck.
Cash, your lived-in apartment even with stuff on the floorlooks better than the empty ones.
Suggestion: next apartment that has a sofa or bed, take a three-hour nap. You look exhausted. Seriously, please get some rest.
I'd love to go back in time and see the second apartment when it was new. It would have been vastly different from what it is now. I wonder if there was a boiler room or coal-burning furnace in there. Maybe also living quarters for a building superintendent.
I dig Apartment Therapy, and Ryan Serhant and everything Architectural Digest,
but
there is *definitely* something strangely addictive about Cash Jordan's videos.
I crave them, Way more than fortnightly 😉.
I am amazed by Cash' dedication. You rock, sir.
Good mornin Cash! The bathroom IS the nicest room in the apartment. It was in bad need of a painting and thorough cleaning for sure.3400 isnt bad but too small for me to have a roommate. I'd want the extra bedroom for office and storage area. Blessings to u and your family.
The firts apartment Is actually not bad at all. It has everything you need exept for the fridge. It Is just a little bit dark. The rest Is pretty useful. The cleaning is not big deal. We all need to clean every now and then after all...
Love the second apartment. I too would make the biggest bedroom into a sitting room and have a big table in the dining kitchen. In the basement I'd add a shower or a wet-room as just having one shower is a big mistake. Now Cash go and have a nice refreshing nap, you looked tired out.
Cash you look exhausted. The world won't end if you took a day off and got some rest!
Thanks you Jordan there's the star of you show Lily she is so beautiful
I noticed your thumbnails having brighter colours in the past few weeks. I've already been watching for a long time but the thumbnails have gotten so pretty recently with the splashes of coral, mustard, and cerulean tones. So cool.
I love your videos. I'm so surprised at the loss of charm in the older buildings, also the crazy floor plans. It's like they jacked up the floor plan to get more rooms with less space. Probably due to the price of rent.....peeps need to share. Rooms are do frigging small.
Sounds like you heed a vacation.
I would update large room downstairs as the living room, upstairs as the dinning room.
If availiable i wouod love to see a floor plan of some of these apartments. It would help me, and I'm sure others to visualize the lady out better
You do make it interesting show. I love the insight and descriptions of your city NYC.
Enjoyed the video even though you had to get out in the rain! Interesting apartments, both basements were really nice.
#2 isn't bad, nice kitchen. Have a good week Cash.
The brick ceiling in that bathroom is pretty cool! Happy non Daylight Saving Time day! )
Both are great for roommates. No complaints!
Not a matcha, chai latte type either. That fold down 'drawer under the kitchen sink is for your dishtowels, dish scrubbers and your detergent/cleaners etc.
Cash : "I'm not really a matcha person"
Me : "I'm sooooo disappointed!!!' 😁😆❤☕
That second apartment.... an apocalypse could happen outside and you'd never notice
As someone who tends to walk a lot farther than intended, gotta say I appreciate the powder room next to the entry on the first place.
I know we would all suffer from with drawl but Cash buddy take a day off and relax with your beautiful wife and Violet. We will survive, I hope
I always enjoy seeing you with your sweet little girl. I liked the second apartment, the bricks on the ceiling is very unusual. Maybe it was a Bomb Shelter back in the day. ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Moat definitely I would choose the 2nd one. Cash you are far from boring
Love the 2nd one especially the basement!
Good 🌞 Morning 🌄🌄🌞
I love how Cash alawys says "Whoooaaaaahhh..no way" every time he enters an apartment that looks exactly the same as the previous one and is, as usual, way way overpriced.
I was thinking the same thing. All the apartments look like they used they same blueprints. The difference is: some are on one floor -- and others are two-stories. The scary wrought-iron railings - one slip and ur done!!!! The fake brick on walls and ceilings has to go. Kitchens are mini-size - and the refrigerator, stove and sink are on top of each other - with little counter-space. Rents are waaaaay too high. PASS!!!!
@@sandyrose2398 no wonder people continue to leave NYC.
DIG IT!!! I've been seeing your videos and I've been watching them... why I dont really know... but I love the channel your like my morning cigarette 💕
If the 1st one was cleaned & painted, it wouldn't be terrible. Happy Sunday all.
I feel like I've been taking my sink sprayer for granted all these years.
The first kitchen is so very 😢. Very sterile looking, so nah on this one other than the room sizes are great. The second one has a great kitchen and I would take the basement space. Rent the 2 upstairs rooms! Put my bed in one room, make a den out of the other. You have the half bath, plenty of storage and the laundry down there. Cash in the kitchen " this comes down, .......ok. 😂. And yes, we know you are not boring! Great video ☺️
You are in the right profession. Great personality.
I would use that smaller bedroom as an office and the downstairs as a hang out room.
People keep complaining about the bathrooms being next to the kitchens in these older buildings.. What you have to understand is that 100 years ago, most toilets were one per floor, shared by a bunch of tenants. Kitchen sinks were in the apartments... and people sometimes had tubs right there in the kitchen (put a door over the top to create a table) OR they went down to bath houses once or twice a week to bathe. When people started re-doing the plumbing so that apartments could have private bathrooms, they HAD to stick them next to the kitchens so that all the pipes would go through the same general area and hook up to external water taps
Are we just going to ignore Princess Toadstool just casually going about her day in the background?!?!
When he was getting off the C train? I had to rewind and rewatch
Yay, shout out for your efforts to try and keep the rooms in focus and not your hands. I thank you and my seasickness thanks you.
You are fun to watch! Thank you for the entertainment I definitely need it....
Second apt rocks! Would make a living room with one of the upstairs bedrooms. With all the bedrooms, why no shower in the downstairs bathroom? Blessings Cash💕
Cash I’m gonna just tell you the situation in Florida is getting very interesting lately.we went from paying seven $9800 now pay $1200 and there’s a laundry in our small one bedroom unit. Hey everybody I’m in Clearwater Florida that’s what you’re paying here in Florida on the West Coast and you’re required to sign a lease but with their letting us go month to month
When you love this channel( its the dialog for Me) even tho you can't afford any apartment he shows ..
I don’t like matcha either Cash it taste like wheatgrass to me
W 103rd street is very quiet, but also very central if you just walk a block to the west. Even more stuff on Amsterdam Ave. Everything nearby AND the park literally at your door step. Now, the apartment itself is a bit ... well ... iffy. The stairway is almost too narrow to be functional for a family (I'd have to put a gate on the top of those stairs, too, given where they are located and the risk of toppling ...), but, yeah, New Yorkers can make almost ANYTHING work. So ... who knows. Not much to say about the no-way-Jose LES apartment ... Nope.
Great thumbnails lately! 👍🏼👍🏼
WOW! I'm actually surprised by how large the Lower East Side apartment is and its rent! $3400/month split between two people is actually excellent for that particular area. Another surprise is that I did not really like the second apartment. I don't think the space was designed properly. I felt like everything was a hallway and dark. Nice finishes, though.
Cheers Cash, I've lived in a tiny space, smaller than what you are showing, the house was 8 squares, , 1 and a bit bedrooms, don't know how to convert that. We did ok.
Love you. I live in Michigan . You are so engaging l. Your humor is spot on. Take care and stay well.
I love your videos!! I'm stuck I'm Maryland for now!! Lol. But I love NY and I'll be moving there within the next 5 years and I'm definitely coming to you to help find me a place!!
I was in NYC on 7 November, 2021, and it was bright and sunny.
Hey Cash, I don't know if you have seen this yet. But a British UA-camr has done a reaction to a collaboration video you did with Erik Conover over on his channel on really small NY apartments. The channel is called Lav Luka. He was flabbergasted at the size of the apartments for the price!!!
That sink sprayer is very similar to the one my parents installed in the 70s when I was a teen.
The little ones wake early 😊 I like the second place, very cool 😎
Always wondered how disabled people manage in NYC cause every place is tiny!
