Wow. I don't live in New York and I have never been there but I think people who think they want to move to the New York area should watch your videos. Prices are freaking outrageous!! I love how you try to put a positive spin on a $5,000 apartment.
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.
New York living is for "status". Seriously. It's like Tesla. People buy the car for the "status". Mainly performers, financial nerds, and creative people live in NYC. The other people live in Jersey.
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.
We used to live in Upper West side 12 years. Now we live in fifth big city. Nothing , absolutely nothing compares to NYC. I would go back in a heartbeat.
Former NYer here... I now live in a beautiful gated community in Clearwater, Fl on the water in a large one bedroom with a den and a balcony and my rent is $1650 a month. I can literally watch dolphins from my bedroom window. I remember when I lived in NYC upper east side 24 years ago and my rent for a small 1 bedroom was $1865. I used to love NY, but now I could never go back. I could never afford to live there
I hate Florida's gated communities. It's like living in a prison. I barely managed to get out to catch an early plane one time. So frightening when you drive up to closed gates and realize you're locked in.
Man, I love New York..Only went once so far but having grown up in London, England I surmised that London, Paris, New York and maybe Tokyo were the only cities that held the energy i was seeking..Never made it to Tokyo yet..but NY definitely did not disappoint. Paris and London, I know are the bee's knees..( strange saying but it works) I am 70 now and live in the countryside in BC Canada.. But big city life is still inspiring to me. Thanks, great video.
There is something absolutely fascinating about New York and how people live. I would be incredibly happy even in these oddly shaped, tiny apartments !! Just something magical about it despite the crime and social problems.
@@EkoFranko because spending over $60,000 a year on JUST living, WITHOUT utilities OR food is absolutely insane. You could literally relocate to somewhere with decent jobs and where rent is $1000-$2000 a month for a 2500 sq ft HOUSE and a yard.
@@bigcloutfrom63rd80 lol trying to justify having to spend $60k a year on rent is laughable... I'll stick to smaller cities with great paying jobs and cheaper rent... This way I get a 3k square foot house and an acre lot... Enjoy being crammed up there tho...
being in a pretty big apartment, there is a part of me that wishes i couldve lived in a tiny apartment in the city in my twenties. These apartments have character and teach you to not live beyond your means. Something about them i think id enjoy.
Maine here. I live in a rural area.. Or country as we Mariners put it. I love living here.. You can't get smells like this in the city.. Sweet hay, that earthy smell from the ground after it rains, the smell of freshly cut grass and the wild flowers.. Especially the wild Asters that release their scent in the evening in the fall just a very light pleasant aroma coupled with all the other smells. I lived in a big city, Portland Maine for years, I would never move back. It's quiet here at night. I do not miss the sounds of people fighting, all the drunks, the constant noise of sirens and traffic.
I had to laugh when you said bathroom's are full size! I'm from Australia and if you can afford $2000 a week rent for a basic small apartment, I want to know who in their right mind would pay this and what job they have?! I earn decent money but this cost of living is insane!
People like what they have access to in Manhattan right outside their doors: the nightlife, museums, gourmet restaurants, opera, ballet, etc. It's a lifestyle that you may or may not want.
Two things I learned from this: In NYC, if it has a window, it has a "view". And if you can fit a human body in it, the closet is considered a walk-in.
What crazy prices. I live in an 80 m2 apartment, two large rooms, dining room, two bathrooms, private parking, in a building with private security, located in one of the best residential neighborhoods in Bogotá, with a very nice view and abundant parks and no neighbors on three sides and I pay $500 a month.
Yeah, but it's still Bogota. Not desirable to live in for most people watching. It's not enviable in the slightest. I'm not trying to justify the prices in this video either. The world is ridiculous. None of this is normal.
I live in Canada but I’ve seen lots of movies and television sets and shows with people always live in these cool New York studio apartments and I always think to myself if I was rich I would love to live in the New York loft department. I think this is a great channel that you have because over here in Canada we like looking at stuff like that
What's with that water pressure. I'm in a 45 year old tower and our water pressure is screaming. Pretty enough. Not fond of the column in the kitchen blocking cabinet doors opening. I used to love seeing gas cook tops. Now that I have induction natural gas ranges just don't do it for me anymore. This is the cash I like upbeat and crazy!
It was so nice to find this video. I miss your apartment videos. Seems like for the past two years all your videos are about the migrants and being a sanctuary city. This made my day. I’ve been binge watching all of your apartments videos. ❤️
I'm sat here in my terraced house in England, checking off the expected NY apartment features... Rickety fire escape, death-trap balcony, living room with strangely angled wall, victorian style radiators and always the glazed French doors into the bedroom. Does it not drive people mad when someone else switches the living room light on in the night and wakes them?
These rooms are barely bigger than jail cells. It’s pretty funny how impressed he is with the “look how huge this place is” haha ands its 7500 for 600 sq ft. I guess it must be a New York thing
Good morning Cash. The junior 1 bedroom is a added pocket door to a studio apartment, strange. And the fact that the apartment with the small induction top I just don't know how they can justify the rent. You and Charles are really characters at times and I love it.
My morning just got better! Oh, the disappointment in Cash's voice when he said "no sink sprayer though".😂 I liked the junior one bedroom, but a small cooktop is just weird.
I lived in Brooklyn Heights in a three story walk up brown stone. Had all the original features, giant tall ceilings, large rooms, three bedrooms. It was 1500 a month. Still pricey at the time, but reasonable. Yes, this was last century. But how did things go from on the higher end of living expenses to astronomical and inhumane?!?!If I had to call one of those apartments home, I would seriously become a serial Killer.
You can see daylight through the gap around the balcony door in the bedroom of the first place, WHILE IT'S CLOSED, and there doesn't seem to be any form of weather stripping in the frame. A New York winter in that bedroom is going to be fun.
NOT AS FUN AS KILL ALL THOSE RATS THAT GET INTO THAT BALCONY DOOR THAT YOU CAN SEE DAYLIGHT THROUGH THAT DOESN'T CLOSE. THERE ARE MORE RATS IN NYC THAN PERSON. 👎
@@sherribatko8981 Nope. The landlord pays the heating bills. People who rent NYC apartments often open the window in the winter, because the heat is always so high. Don' t know why winter in a NY apartment has to feel like summer in the desert.
I've always been interested in NYC, and my job there would pay $100k - $150k, but it seems like you need to be absolutely killing it to enjoy a luxurious life. I suppose that's true for any big city, but especially NYC.
I'm not exactly sure why I am so obsessed with these videos. Besides the fact that you are hilarious and so entertaining to watch. I live in Memphis TN, well Bartlett TN. 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.
I lived in a 3rd floor walkup in SF for a few years on Franklin between Washington and Jackson. It was A LOT bigger than these units for about the same rent. But that was many years ago. If you can take city living I highly recommend it for a few years or more. Now I live in the 'burbs - 3000 sq. ft. two car garage and a circle driveway. Life is good.
And here I am living in northern Minnesota living in a 1300 sq ft house paying less than $500 a month for a house that I own. I'm even upgrading next year and still won't be paying a fraction of this. I can't imagine
The thing is that you don't have Manhattan's night life, restaurants, museums, opera, ballet, etc. in Minnesota. People pay to be close to all of that.
@@robinlillian9471 I could care less about any of that. I can easily entertain myself. I live 5 hours north of the Twin cities and honestly never plan on going back. The only thing I honestly miss up here is music festivals but it's easy enough to travel to them. But I prefer nature to basically everything you named off.
@@robinlillian9471 to me that just sounds like a cop out excuse to pay an absurd amount of money to live. Imagine if the climate was like California. The homeless numbers would be off the charts. Fun fact alot of people that are homeless in California actually have decent jobs but can't afford to live anywhere. Like I said in my original comment I can't imagine paying over 1k a month to basically live in a broom closet. Like wow. And your response is they can go see the opera. Doesn't feel like a fair trade off to me.
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I watch these and shake my head. I can't imagine wanting to live in these unless I had to. The humor and sarcasm keep me.coming back though!
You're not the only one shaking your head. I'm feeling dizzy from head shaking in the meantime. I never visited New York and after watching some of these videos, I never will. Not in this life. What a cramped, loud, dirty and partially run down city
That first place, with the spiral stairs to the roof deck... gain more sq ft by extending a floor out under the sky lights (maybe just half way, so the light still gets into living room). That can be bonus space: a home office or even a second bedroom.
I've never even been to NYC and yet I'm obsessed with your videos! I live in DFW Texas and it is a completely different world. It melts my brain that you get so excited about medicine cabinets lol. I would love to see you come to Texas and tour some apartments to get your commentary on how different it is! I definitely appreciate the glimpse you've given me to a world I don't understand 🙂
It really is! The thing with NY is you don't live there to live in your apartment, you live there to live in the city. No one spends time in their apartment. If you
Greetings fellow DFW citizen. I live here too. Born and raised in Fort Worth. I went to NYC about 10 years ago on business for a convention for 5 days. We stayed at the Waldorf. Went to the Statue, saw Wall Street (disappointing) Went up in the Empire State Building, Saw the Twin Towers site, Times Square etc... More or less saw all the cool places and the only thing I will remember is that there are PEOPLE everywhere ALL the time. If you been to Billy Bobs on a crowded night then welcome to NYC in the streets. Went on a Princess Ship to the Caribbean a few years ago too with 5000 people. Both are about the same. I put it in the category of things I'm glad I did once. But I could not live there. Too many people.
@@jamescole6846 God bless you then, because it's honestly not even on my top ten....err... top twenty places to EVER visit. To each his or her own though.

I'm also from the dfw area and I'm in new york rn with my bf. Lemme tell you, it's fun to VISIT but not to stay. That's why people who are born and raised in New York are trying to get out...Extremely expensive, stinky, dirty, and small old apartments. Now if you're rich, I can see it being a good experience though
I think it's funny that at one time if you said rent was $3400, you'd gasp and fall over, now after seeing apts going for $6k or $7k a month, now we all say, wow, only $3400, that's reasonable....lol.
What I say is where in the hell do these people work to be. Able to pay rent in the thousands?????? I live in Midwest. I have a 5 room house. A yard. Anice front porch. Attic and basement I never go in either. I pay 300.00 plus pay all utilities. How bout them apples?
That could be true, and I don't expect European chains and retail outlets investing other parts of America anytime soon because the rest of the country is either not very profitable or too sleepy for their tastes. People are paying astronomical rents in NYC so they could have convenient access to some of the finest eateries, restaurants, and cultural institutions in America.
At 9:35, there is a comment about the water pressure. If possible, have the building manager check the faucet aerator. There may be debris that is clogging up the aerator, which leads to lower water pressure.
They were all pretty good but small the Jr. one would have been my choice but no stove to cook is really odd. With the high rent eating at home would probably be a necessity.
These places are all bigger than mine when I was 20. Today, I live in a spacious villa with 7 bedrooms and a fenced 2 km⁴ park. I swore to myself that I was going to make it out of poverty and I did. It was ok to live in that shoe-box at the time but I never want to go back. I love my beautiful home in the country-side. I don't need a big, noisy city.
After viewing several videos about apartments/flats in New York, I appreciate my house more and more.
I know that’s right.
Who the he'll wants to live that high up. Dangerous in a fire.
I moved into a small house and I feel lucky compared to these rents.

We used to live in Upper West side 12 years. Now we live in fifth big city. Nothing , absolutely nothing compares to NYC. I would go back in a heartbeat.
Former NYer here... I now live in a beautiful gated community in Clearwater, Fl on the water in a large one bedroom with a den and a balcony and my rent is $1650 a month. I can literally watch dolphins from my bedroom window. I remember when I lived in NYC upper east side 24 years ago and my rent for a small 1 bedroom was $1865. I used to love NY, but now I could never go back. I could never afford to live there
I hate Florida's gated communities. It's like living in a prison. I barely managed to get out to catch an early plane one time. So frightening when you drive up to closed gates and realize you're locked in.
@@robinlillian9471 But…you’re never locked in. Rapists, thieves and stalkers are locked out.
@@naynay3174If you gotta worry about that, then you live in a crap hole lol
enjoy your hurricanes and floods.
@@EkoFranko I just read your other comments. You are absolutely miserable, you poor thing 😆
Man, I love New York..Only went once so far but having grown up in London, England I surmised that London, Paris, New York and maybe Tokyo were the only cities that held the energy i was seeking..Never made it to Tokyo yet..but NY definitely did not disappoint. Paris and London, I know are the bee's knees..( strange saying but it works) I am 70 now and live in the countryside in BC Canada.. But big city life is still inspiring to me. Thanks, great video.
There is something absolutely fascinating about New York and how people live. I would be incredibly happy even in these oddly shaped, tiny apartments !! Just something magical about it despite the crime and social problems.
Lovely that $5100 apartment is considered affordable. Never would I ever want to live like that.
that area where this apartment is (mid town) is really nice, amazing food, safe area, great paying jobs and a great place to start a business.
Affordable for a high-educated new-yorker with a job, why not?
@@EkoFranko because spending over $60,000 a year on JUST living, WITHOUT utilities OR food is absolutely insane. You could literally relocate to somewhere with decent jobs and where rent is $1000-$2000 a month for a 2500 sq ft HOUSE and a yard.
@@bigcloutfrom63rd80 lol trying to justify having to spend $60k a year on rent is laughable... I'll stick to smaller cities with great paying jobs and cheaper rent... This way I get a 3k square foot house and an acre lot... Enjoy being crammed up there tho...
@@Hachiko814 small cities with great paying jobs are cool, but non existent thing
Love how Cash always accentuates the positive!
and the not so positive.....
agreed
It's his job to do so on these videos
He's doing that now,wait til these guys start living together,then he'll accentuate the negatives.Anyone remember the old tv show:The Real World ???
it's called being a real estate agent in one of the most dystopian places for housing in the world
Entertaining AND makes me thankful for what I have
being in a pretty big apartment, there is a part of me that wishes i couldve lived in a tiny apartment in the city in my twenties. These apartments have character and teach you to not live beyond your means. Something about them i think id enjoy.
If you're spending thousands a month for a coffin apartment, you're living beyond your means. No one should live in such confined spaces.
I loved it in my twenties. I learned a lot about frugal living and simple joy
Maine here. I live in a rural area.. Or country as we Mariners put it. I love living here.. You can't get smells like this in the city.. Sweet hay, that earthy smell from the ground after it rains, the smell of freshly cut grass and the wild flowers.. Especially the wild Asters that release their scent in the evening in the fall just a very light pleasant aroma coupled with all the other smells. I lived in a big city, Portland Maine for years, I would never move back. It's quiet here at night. I do not miss the sounds of people fighting, all the drunks, the constant noise of sirens and traffic.
I had to laugh when you said bathroom's are full size! I'm from Australia and if you can afford $2000 a week rent for a basic small apartment, I want to know who in their right mind would pay this and what job they have?! I earn decent money but this cost of living is insane!
People like what they have access to in Manhattan right outside their doors: the nightlife, museums, gourmet restaurants, opera, ballet, etc. It's a lifestyle that you may or may not want.
yes right,many s..t head people,so that way,no brain,or just the fuc....g banker,crimes,politics can ,so for them all this
The last word of your comment pretty much describes most New Yorkers.
@@robinlillian9471 it sounds like hell.
thats a month rent not a week LOL
Yay, Charles is here! Makes the video so much better!
I just think seeing snow fall in these apartments would be beautiful ❤️
Two things I learned from this: In NYC, if it has a window, it has a "view". And if you can fit a human body in it, the closet is considered a walk-in.
With the steep, spiral staircases, how does one move any furniture up and down? Seems next to impossible ~
Charles in that closet saying, "It's a walk-in!" is one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen for some reason. 🤣🤣🤣
The falsetto was great!
@@theresa78201 He tell lies from that closet, but boy, they're funny. 😂
Who cares if the fridge can't open. We won't be able to eat after we pay the rent anyway. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those pillars in the kitchen are ridiculous
I swear!!!
That’s a big no for me on that apt.
Living in Manhattan is overrated lol
Like seriously….
Do you really need to stick your face right in the camera no one needs it that tight shot
They really are! Why put in cabinet space that no one can actually use?
I love the first apt..I just wouldn't be able to climb the spiral stairs or go out on balcony. Terrified of heights.
Hey Lisa it is his video. Not yours don’t like don’t watch
What crazy prices. I live in an 80 m2 apartment, two large rooms, dining room, two bathrooms, private parking, in a building with private security, located in one of the best residential neighborhoods in Bogotá, with a very nice view and abundant parks and no neighbors on three sides and I pay $500 a month.
It's insane to live in a big city. Before I got my house paid $575 per month for my rent haha.
Yeah, but it's still Bogota. Not desirable to live in for most people watching. It's not enviable in the slightest. I'm not trying to justify the prices in this video either. The world is ridiculous. None of this is normal.
You just compared Bogota to Ny😅
No shit. You don't earn shit in Bogota. So $500 is a LOT more than $500 in New York.
You need to compare to the average salary.
I live in Canada but I’ve seen lots of movies and television sets and shows with people always live in these cool New York studio apartments and I always think to myself if I was rich I would love to live in the New York loft department.
I think this is a great channel that you have because over here in Canada we like looking at stuff like that
Some interesting apartments, but the best thing was watching Charles in the "walk in closet 😀 😄
Cash is chaotic good and Charles is smooth jazz
I love that as a nickname for Charles: Smooth Jazz.
Cash gives me anxiety with the way he is bangs around and snatches open everything.
What's with that water pressure. I'm in a 45 year old tower and our water pressure is screaming. Pretty enough. Not fond of the column in the kitchen blocking cabinet doors opening. I used to love seeing gas cook tops. Now that I have induction natural gas ranges just don't do it for me anymore. This is the cash I like upbeat and crazy!
The cabinets behind the columns - I would just take the doors off and treat them as open shelves, it would be more useful.
VERY agressive with the opening of doors and appliances LOL
It was so nice to find this video. I miss your apartment videos. Seems like for the past two years all your videos are about the migrants and being a sanctuary city. This made my day. I’ve been binge watching all of your apartments videos. ❤️
Liking before even watching the video because I know Cash always comes with the commentary and great camera work!
I'm sat here in my terraced house in England, checking off the expected NY apartment features... Rickety fire escape, death-trap balcony, living room with strangely angled wall, victorian style radiators and always the glazed French doors into the bedroom. Does it not drive people mad when someone else switches the living room light on in the night and wakes them?
London is also very expensive. So what.
Lol the tiny place that cabinets in the kitchen won’t open fully is funny lol
My least favorite one also columns in the way
These rooms are barely bigger than jail cells. It’s pretty funny how impressed he is with the “look how huge this place is” haha ands its 7500 for 600 sq ft. I guess it must be a New York thing
O wow you can see buildings. Outstanding.
Good morning Cash. The junior 1 bedroom is a added pocket door to a studio apartment, strange. And the fact that the apartment with the small induction top I just don't know how they can justify the rent. You and Charles are really characters at times and I love it.
The microwave in the junior one bedroom may actually be a microwave /convection oven. I have one of those in my apartment.
That won't last LONG. LOL.They'll start getting on each others nerves eventually. LOL.
I love this newer style of video. I love learning about the neighborhood. In the end , I’d rather see more units.
yes, i really DID just say that.
I've felt the same way. I have no interest in the surroundings and always fast forward right to the apartments.
My morning just got better!
Oh, the disappointment in Cash's voice when he said "no sink sprayer though".😂
I liked the junior one bedroom, but a small cooktop is just weird.
He makes up for it with excitement anytime the washer and dryer isn't a combo unit though!
I know right....
Yeah, for $2500 you could sleep in the living room of a decent 1 bed apartment.
Wow, so nice.
I live in Yonkers NY (thankfully) those city prices are ridiculous !!
Very Entertaining Video By Cash-----Excellent. But this makes me glad I left Manhattan and moved to sunny Florida.
They should just take the door off that lower cabinet. Once you take the door off, that space is suddenly useable.
Charles: "It's a walk-in." 😆😆😆
I lived in Brooklyn Heights in a three story walk up brown stone. Had all the original features, giant tall ceilings, large rooms, three bedrooms. It was 1500 a month. Still pricey at the time, but reasonable. Yes, this was last century. But how did things go from on the higher end of living expenses to astronomical and inhumane?!?!If I had to call one of those apartments home, I would seriously become a serial Killer.
😂
Totally worth it. Hey Cash, it’s my birthday! 🎉 Love your channel!
First one looks like it should be Spider-Mans apartment. Peter Parker definitely needs roof access. ; )
You can see daylight through the gap around the balcony door in the bedroom of the first place, WHILE IT'S CLOSED, and there doesn't seem to be any form of weather stripping in the frame. A New York winter in that bedroom is going to be fun.
NOT AS FUN AS KILL ALL THOSE RATS THAT GET INTO THAT BALCONY DOOR THAT YOU CAN SEE DAYLIGHT THROUGH THAT DOESN'T CLOSE. THERE ARE MORE RATS IN NYC THAN PERSON. 👎
Large heating bills
@@sherribatko8981 Nope. The landlord pays the heating bills. People who rent NYC apartments often open the window in the winter, because the heat is always so high. Don' t know why winter in a NY apartment has to feel like summer in the desert.
I've always been interested in NYC, and my job there would pay $100k - $150k, but it seems like you need to be absolutely killing it to enjoy a luxurious life. I suppose that's true for any big city, but especially NYC.
I cannot imagine living in New York City paying some of these prices when I live in Oklahoma and I pay write it $1200 for about 1400 square foot
I consistently come back for the Dad jokes😂 The random dry humor is my favorite ❤️
These were nice. Always fun to see Charles, who now is aka Mr. Caffeine! 180 mgs....!
I'd be bouncing off the walls. 🤪
Can we just talk about how Charles is always rockin some clean Jordan’s🤝😂
No. Wtf cares about dumb sneaker fetish. Pretentious and overpriced garbage.
@@Freshbrood lol
Beautiful large apt by nyc standards- I’d need a place half that rent
I love fields and farmland and trees. Do they have any in New York?
That first apartment is a thing of beauty with the spiral steps
You have to get furniture up and down that staircase.
I'm not exactly sure why I am so obsessed with these videos. Besides the fact that you are hilarious and so entertaining to watch. I live in Memphis TN, well Bartlett TN. 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.
All That in 500 Sq. Ft. ? ?
*window sill
Mega selection today Cash. Loved the $7500 one best but the final two were also very good. C&C are the best boys in NYC.
How on earth do you get furniture in these?
I lived in a 3rd floor walkup in SF for a few years on Franklin between Washington and Jackson. It was A LOT bigger than these units for about the same rent. But that was many years ago. If you can take city living I highly recommend it for a few years or more. Now I live in the 'burbs - 3000 sq. ft. two car garage and a circle driveway. Life is good.
And here I am living in northern Minnesota living in a 1300 sq ft house paying less than $500 a month for a house that I own. I'm even upgrading next year and still won't be paying a fraction of this. I can't imagine
The thing is that you don't have Manhattan's night life, restaurants, museums, opera, ballet, etc. in Minnesota. People pay to be close to all of that.
@@robinlillian9471 I could care less about any of that. I can easily entertain myself. I live 5 hours north of the Twin cities and honestly never plan on going back. The only thing I honestly miss up here is music festivals but it's easy enough to travel to them. But I prefer nature to basically everything you named off.
@@robinlillian9471 to me that just sounds like a cop out excuse to pay an absurd amount of money to live. Imagine if the climate was like California. The homeless numbers would be off the charts. Fun fact alot of people that are homeless in California actually have decent jobs but can't afford to live anywhere. Like I said in my original comment I can't imagine paying over 1k a month to basically live in a broom closet. Like wow. And your response is they can go see the opera. Doesn't feel like a fair trade off to me.
I like the third one. A little quirky, but cost to apartment isn't bad.
I bet you have a very nice place for NYC since your business is checking places out. Show us what you've got.
Ruler and knowledge of geometry! "When will I ever use this?" asked all my students. LOL Thank you again!
At the end of the first apartment, I thought "I wonder if Charles will make an appearance" and boom there he appeared!
The Dynamic Duo is back!
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I watch these and shake my head. I can't imagine wanting to live in these unless I had to. The humor and sarcasm keep me.coming back though!
You're not the only one shaking your head. I'm feeling dizzy from head shaking in the meantime. I never visited New York and after watching some of these videos, I never will. Not in this life. What a cramped, loud, dirty and partially run down city
That first place, with the spiral stairs to the roof deck... gain more sq ft by extending a floor out under the sky lights (maybe just half way, so the light still gets into living room). That can be bonus space: a home office or even a second bedroom.
I've never even been to NYC and yet I'm obsessed with your videos! I live in DFW Texas and it is a completely different world. It melts my brain that you get so excited about medicine cabinets lol. I would love to see you come to Texas and tour some apartments to get your commentary on how different it is! I definitely appreciate the glimpse you've given me to a world I don't understand 🙂
It really is! The thing with NY is you don't live there to live in your apartment, you live there to live in the city. No one spends time in their apartment. If you
Greetings fellow DFW citizen. I live here too. Born and raised in Fort Worth. I went to NYC about 10 years ago on business for a convention for 5 days. We stayed at the Waldorf. Went to the Statue, saw Wall Street (disappointing) Went up in the Empire State Building, Saw the Twin Towers site, Times Square etc... More or less saw all the cool places and the only thing I will remember is that there are PEOPLE everywhere ALL the time. If you been to Billy Bobs on a crowded night then welcome to NYC in the streets. Went on a Princess Ship to the Caribbean a few years ago too with 5000 people. Both are about the same. I put it in the category of things I'm glad I did once. But I could not live there. Too many people.
@@jamescole6846 God bless you then, because it's honestly not even on my top ten....err... top twenty places to EVER visit. To each his or her own though.
@@GavinMichaels I get that totally, but never living in NYC, I can't go without dishwasher, my own washer dryer in my house, my own car and a big giant shower lol.
I'm also from the dfw area and I'm in new york rn with my bf. Lemme tell you, it's fun to VISIT but not to stay. That's why people who are born and raised in New York are trying to get out...Extremely expensive, stinky, dirty, and small old apartments. Now if you're rich, I can see it being a good experience though
I think it's funny that at one time if you said rent was $3400, you'd gasp and fall over, now after seeing apts going for $6k or $7k a month, now we all say, wow, only $3400, that's reasonable....lol.
What I say is where in the hell do these people work to be. Able to pay rent in the thousands?????? I live in Midwest. I have a 5 room house. A yard. Anice front porch. Attic and basement I never go in either. I pay 300.00 plus pay all utilities. How bout them apples?
Thank you Cash and Charles! New York area is an alien planet compared to where I live!
That could be true, and I don't expect European chains and retail outlets investing other parts of America anytime soon because the rest of the country is either not very profitable or too sleepy for their tastes. People are paying astronomical rents in NYC so they could have convenient access to some of the finest eateries, restaurants, and cultural institutions in America.
@@Beacon_NY I wish I could move to NY or London. I am sick of the small town life.
You can change the side a crib opens on. So easy yet so many don't know about this. Just look at the top of your crib and you'll see how it's done.
This video made me cloister phobic 😂
Fun video 👍🏿😉
Mornin Charles 🎉
Kool apartments Cash I liked Charles’s ones great job guys 👍🇦🇺
At 9:35, there is a comment about the water pressure. If possible, have the building manager check the faucet aerator. There may be debris that is clogging up the aerator, which leads to lower water pressure.
Or Old Buildings , Old Pipes , Many Miles of water pipe to cover all the Apt.' s ! !
You can remove that low cabinet door & split that kitchen cabinet door, then put hinges on it.
It will then bend to allow a full opening.
I love tall ceilings. I lived somewhere that was the inverse of this for a few years (you had to climb UP the stairs to get above the garage level).
Cash & Charles in 2024.😎👊
I absolutely LOVE that hight ceiling with the skylights. I’d have that apartment on that alone. Really nice place
You won't do your own paint job!
Cost a fortune to heat and cool.
Hi cash and Charles wow I know the apartments in NYC are tiny and unique, however, the rent is very expensive. Very nice apartments and great view👍😀
A lovely reminder that I am perfectly fine living in Berlin 😂
the cost of living in nyc is just insane
They were all pretty good but small the Jr. one would have been my choice but no stove to cook is really odd. With the high rent eating at home would probably be a necessity.
Charles is losing weight, good for him, that doorman gig must be a good workout!
The only time I've ever seen Cash open a door gently was when his bike was behind it.
😂 right!
Seems that when Charles is around, he doesn't slam things. 🤔
"...The basin's not massive, but you know what? Neither are my hands!!..." He's an adorable funny guy!
These places are all bigger than mine when I was 20. Today, I live in a spacious villa with 7 bedrooms and a fenced 2 km⁴ park. I swore to myself that I was going to make it out of poverty and I did. It was ok to live in that shoe-box at the time but I never want to go back. I love my beautiful home in the country-side. I don't need a big, noisy city.
If I had the money, the fifth one is pretty great.
last apt i could use as photo studio in long living room
I think having a column in the kitchen would drive me crazy.
Me, too! I'd constantly be bumping into it. Automatic "no"!
I'd take the cabinet doors off so you could use them.
