      you gotta understand he’s in mid town that area is always gonna cost more and the people that live and pay these have really good jobs/connections and have a lot of benefits when it comes to the living in the city of new york , yea it’s really expensive but if you really connected this isn’t bad for the price.

Not necessary to enjoy peace and quiet and actually have land and greenery and affordable rent/mortgage. However, everyone has the right to live live a penned up rat, so have at it

    I live in a small 3 bedrooms, 2 bath "villa" with a fireplace, a little private garden and a garage in a 30.000 pop city on the Adriatic coast in Italy. I can watch sunrise over the sea in the morning from one of my window and sunset behind the mountains from another window, there are green parks all around us and all you can hear from outside is birds during the day and crickets during the night. I can reach the beach in 10 minutes with by bike and the mountains within 1 hour by car. The rent is 580€ monthly.

      The people who can afford these apartments are easily earning six figures+. You gotta keep that in mind. If they earn $250,000, which industry professionals in STEM and Wall Street people can easily pull, $5k is fine. But the apartment you are taking about has three bedrooms. Likely, designed for people to have roommates. $1,700 ain't that bad per month to live in Manhattan.

      Think it's what you're used to. If you're from NYC or another expensive market, it seems bad but you're kinda jaded. And seeing the prices, particularly for some of the one bedrooms, a couple who both have professional incomes can live in that. Like I could see living in one of these places if my girlfriend and I decided to move back to NYC. At that price range, bigger issue if you're able to afford it is considering whether renting is worth it versus just buying

      @@paddy_wax As long as you’re in a standalone home and are fairly tidy you’re fine. The problem with densely populated urban areas with 50-100 tenants in one building is the building is only as tidy as the dirtiest tenant, so if one tenant has a roach infestation it can easily spread to other units in the building…even a momentary lapse of leaving a dirty dish on a counter overnight can be a feast that attracts roaches who can enter through the smallest of cracks (usually behind kitchen fixtures or where floors meet walls). NYC has a very bad roach and rat problem; they’re trying innovative solutions now, but it’s not going to get better. Best option is to move away to a standalone house, especially after having kids, because kids are usually messy with dropping food crumbs everywhere.

I am just fascinated by some of these New York apartments. Some are really cool, and some are literally ridiculous for the price. Its interesting to see how some of the apartments come up with space saving designs. I lived in downtown Memphis in a high-rise 1 bedroom when I was in my early twenties. It was a small apartment, maybe around 500 sq ft, and I paid $450 a month. It had a decent kitchen, good size bathroom, and a big living room surrounded with windows and a view of the bridge. But the bedroom was tiny, I think it was 8 by7 maybe. I could fit my full bed and a small chest with a TV on top. I used the window seal as a nightstand. These places remind me of those days I guess.
