That 2k apartment was by far the best value for the money. It could use some work to get cleaned up, but they were in the process of that. There was a separate bedroom that could fit a queen bed, a dresser that a TV could sit on. The Living room could fit a sofa and TV, plus it had a built in island to eat off of. It had its own washroom. The only difference between the 2k apartment and the 3k appeared to be the updated appliances / cleanliness. I could manage the 2k apartment though. Anything over the 3k, you likely can't afford if you're a blue collar worker.
Disagree. That $2k apartment was sheer nonsense. That is actually a STUDIO apartment. By law, a room MUST have a closet + a door + a window in order to be considered a (legal) bedroom….. so the sheisty landlord jerry-rigged a closet/wall right in the middle of that studio apartment, in order to double the rent & charge gullible tenants the price of a 1 bedroom. Living in a (makeshift) Studio apartment… while being charged for 1 bedroom prices… is not a “good value for the money”. Not at all.
Yeah everything looks so small or squish or everything about detail in the nyc home. While in the south / mind west this homes is normals or style. So much cheaper and easy to remodel if so.
When the bathroom is shared, it's a rented room and not an apartment! The $2,000 unit at least has a bathroom and kitchen, with a separate "bedroom". It's a little rough around the edges but it has the minimum amenities. From there on up, these apartments have luxuries, things nice to have but not absolutely necessary.
I'd call that one an SRO (as distinguished from a rented room in someone's home, or a multi-roomate situation where no one has plumbing on their ownn and everyone is a renter that shares a common kitchen and bathroom.)

When I get depressed that I'm still living with my parents at 20, at least I have these videos to remind me how good I have it, living in a 2385 sq ft home in Florida on 1.3 acres of land, where I at least have a private bedroom, private bathroom, part of the office room, half of another room for a UA-cam studio, and use of the common areas. At least we have trees and forest, not just plain slabs of concrete right outside of our windows. I tend to get discontent too easily, but videos like these help bring me back to reality, instead of being upset that I don't own a 4,000 sq ft 2 story house yet.
Tell me about it. I saw the funniest thing when I lived in north NJ. I was walking to the bodega one day and I happened to look over because I heard music playing and there was a group of people probably 25 people sitting in this little tight tiny probably 2 sq foot space outside behind a fence in the yard to this apartment it was probably the side of the bathroom in this video no lie they were shoulder to shoulder vacuum sealed having a little party.

With NYC 's 40x income rule recent grads would need roommates though. You'd have to be around making six figures to reasonably afford that place/ not need a guarantor.
I have a 2100 sq/ft ranch house that I paid $120K for back in 1998 (brand new). Seeing the cost of these apartments makes me glad I am not starting from scratch again.
I had a friend who moved from NYC to Chicago, they had a tiny one bedroom house in NYC which costed 4,000 a month and when they moved to Chicago, they got a large 3 bedroom apartment in the city centre for the same price. It is crazy how property prices differ from city to city.
A lot of other places are trying it though I live rural Ohio I used to live in NJ and when I first came here rent was decent but now they are trying to charge NJ/NY rent for these old decrepit houses in this town. It's laughable.
I'm in a $830/mo 485 square feet appartment in the Netherlands. That $1000 appartment is barely larger than the size of my entire bathroom... Hell, you can't even call that small room an appartment to begin with... Appartment pricing in New York is completely ridiculous. Yes, I know you can't directly compare pricing from one country to another but this is just insane.
That first one is a lot like your first apartment. Move to NYC with a friend and get the 2nd one. Once they finish cleaning it up, it's not horrible. At least there's a kitchen and a bathroom. $3,000 may be fancier, but I'd rather have the extra money for shopping and going out.
An apartment with a toilet feels luxurious 🤣. Damn watching these videos makes me feel like royalty just for having more than 1 full indoor non shared bathroom. 😊
That first apartment scared me. My word…I’m thankful for seeing this though. Great guide for someone like me that wants to move to New York one day (Brooklyn).
The $2000 apartment looks like a decent place. The $3000 apartment is about equivalent of my apartment (which is about $700 because we have rent control here), very large for a single person, many of my neighbors have families in such apartments.
@@Echo556_ that's still expensive compared to my apartment But maybe your building is new, and the electricity bills are handled by the landlord? Because my apartment is the opposite, maybe that's why it's 4 rooms and cheaper
Wait a minute I think I've approximated my rent in dollars wrongly My 4 rooms rent is actually almost 800$ And your rent looks reasonable But a 1k $ rent is not reasonable
Third apartment definitely! The $10k was ridiculously overpriced and overrated as well. I’m getting used to NewYorkers not seeming to care much about kitchen size but I do! That $10k’s kitchen was like a last thought so they just added cabinets to the ceiling that no one will probably never use bc they look pretty but suck for true usage. See you next time Cash as usual great job 👏 p.s. was that first place more of say, a flop house? 😉
I am so glad to live in a nice Florida house with my parents on 1.3 acres of land. Looking outside and seeing run-down brick walls must be so dreary and depressing! I can't imagine how anyone could handle living in any of these apartments, because the cheap ones are truly awful, and the expensive ones are literally more than most people's mortgage payments. Like seriously, who in their right mind would rent an apartment for $10,000 a month when they could own a place instead?
Who would live there: People who have jobs in New York and would rather spend $10,000/mo on rent + $6000/mo on mortgages for a couple vacation houses outside the city than $20,000/mo on a mortgage for a condo the same size in New York. Also, you live in the Nazi State. I left the Nazi State, I'd rather live in a shoebox than down the street from racists who can legally shoot me dead for "threatening them" by walking home from the store on a public street, unarmed.
@@jackpez I live in an urban area and my $1,200 apartment has 3 bedrooms, 1 & 1/2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a dining room. The fact that a $3000 apartment has less than that tells me everything I need to know about NYC. Seriously, if the best you can get for $1000 is something worse than a f**king dorm room, the city must be a shithole. I really hope they were just cherry-picking a really bad apartment and that's not genuinely how bad NYC is.
@ :36 @ 1:48 The worst thing about the first apartment is trying not to trip over your neighbor's 5 or 6 pairs of shoes strewn all over the hallway right outside your door. At least line them up neatly on your own side of the hall, people.
That first building has 70 units @ $1,000 (minimum) = $70,000/month, $840,000/year. It'd be interesting to know what its costs are: property taxes, insurance, heating, water, etc.
That's assuming every unit is rented, every tenant pays (on time) and there aren't huge expenses like a tenant took a machete to the walls and ceiling (yes it happened to me.)
SRO (single room occupancy/flop house). I grew up in NYC you paid weekly and living in one was the last option before becoming a mole person(living in train tunnels). These newcomers to NYC are the proverbial sucker born everyday. 😂 🤣
Wow, what a perspective into life in NY. I feel spoiled now in my 1400 a month house in Pensacola. Next time I think about complaining I will think about this video.
I'm in Pensacola too and makes my 1350sq ft actual living space brick home with 3 bedrooms and a garage on a 2acre lot huge backyard and equally huge front yard will a seperate 900sq ft finished office space look like a mansion which is fully sad!
Wow, so in the last 100 years we've gone from 1 communal toilet per 20 tenaments to 1 communal toilet per 10 tenaments AND they have DOORS now! That's solid 1% per year improvement. Well on the way to having 1 toilet per dwelling by mid 3rd millennium. 😂 Every time I watch one of these I feel more assured that, while I don't like to live more than 30-40 minutes from downtown, I am *not* a hive human. I don't want to be "in the center of everything".
Wow this is such an eye-opening experience. I used to live in NYC and I know it is an expensive city, but the housing market does not fail to surprise me! I have thought of moving back, but now looking at what you have to recommend, and in your other videos, I am going to have to think about my move seriously.
The neighborhood tours were always my favorite part but haven't seen a tour in what feels like a few weeks. The neighborhood tours is what made this channel cool. Now it's just like every other NYC apartment channels
Cash, I like the 2 & 3 k. Of course the 2k... after being cleaned up is a possibility. The location, neighborhood, safety (including fire escape), laundry room all important! . I think a rematch video on the 2 & 3 would be awesome 👌 ! Your videos are so fun! I'm originally from NEW ENGLAND BOSTON ETC.. NOW in FL.
Cash this was a cool idea for a video series. Maybe do one of these once a month or something. I liked all the options & it was rad to see the comparisons.
I have seen videos for the 1K type of apartment before, a lot of people live in them. Some of the videos I have seen the apartment did include it's own tiny bathroom, and sometimes not. A lot of people will either expand the loft to be larger, or put up one of those things that's like a bunkbed but with nothing on the bottom so you have space for an office, living space, etc. It's actually not uncommon in the far east, where apartments are tiny. I have seen videos of a lot of tiny apartments in NYC and other cities where people get very creative. Search the web.
I'm trying really hard to understand how the first apartment is able to be legal... Is this an American thing? To share a bathroom with ten+ people? This must have been a nightmare at the peak of Covid🙈🙉🙊
The $6,000 per month unit has a decent outdoor area, albeit not a luxury spot. The skylight is fun. Decent closet space. The kitchen is a bit too compact to work easily in for anyone who is a gourmet cook but it minimally does the job. The third BR is a bit dark, and the renter can expect to be interrupted frequently in the wee hours from the buzzing intercom. The French doors are a welcome bonus though.
That $6000/mo apartment sucks so hard. I have a high floor 2bd/2ba luxury doorman building with in-unit W/D, south and west facing windows, river and city views, in Manhattan for less than that.
I live in NYC right now and I'm here for college. I'm living in one of my college's dorms. I never realized how good I have it until this video. Oh my god. I'm so glad I'm leaving after graduation.
The gorgeous and lovely Skye is back! Cash's videos are always 10x better when she's in them. Is she single? Not that she'd ever date me haha. Really good video showing the price difference ranges. Of course that last $10K one isn't fair cause unless you're in the city for 1, 2 year or so, you should be buying at that point. Plus you're winning in life if you can afford that and a NYC lifestyle. The $3K one would be good for roommates.
The $10,000 per month features nice patio space, a full kitchen, and decent common space. Could wish for more space for a dining table for that price. I have seen better features at cheaper prices. The downstairs could serve as a work area or and art studio area. Could also serve as a den and guest area. The patio is good. Like that the laundry machines are included in the unit (in addition to the public laundry machines).
I rented a $650😮 “apartment” in 2009, LES. It was a little bigger than the $1,000 and had its own toilet and sink, a half-bath, no tub or shower, no separate sink. The kitchen was three kitchen cabinets on the floor with a fake marble slab on top for a counter. Above it was a storage shelf. There was a tiny dorm fridge with microwave and toaster oven on top. I used a futon for a bed and couch, a card table for a desk, and two folding tables & chairs. There were two windows, one that opened into the air shaft, the other, looked over the street and fire escape. It was illegal to put in an air conditioner, but I did it anyway in the air shaft window. Heat came from one small steam radiator beneath the street window. There was a real skinny closet built into the interior wall, so little room that you had to hang your clothes on an angle. I put the futon on risers in order to keep storage crates for my non-hanging clothes underneath. I learned to improvise. A sprayer nozzle on a length of garden hose enabled me to spray water from the sink into two dishpans on the counter. I bought a small plastic kiddie pool to put on the floor and use the sprayer to wash myself. No proper bathing facility was the main reason for low price! When done, I’d scoop out the water with a margarine tub until I could safely pick up the pool and dump the rest down the sink or toilet. Electric outlets with power bars came from beneath the boarded up door, from beneath the floor molding, and down from the ceiling in the “kitchen.” Three cheap assemble them yourself 6” deep bookshelves served as area dividers for my bed and desk. Four 99c. printed pillow cases served for curtains and valance, two more went on the futon covered with plain colored wool blankets. Since it was just me who lived in this lovely illegal palace, it didn’t matter if I sponged off in the tub in the middle of the floor. Just close the curtains and lock the door. I hung up my mini cuckoo clock, two paintings of my favorite icons, a calendar from church, and an accordion style mug hanger on the back of the door for coats, hats, etc. I kept my bicycle in the hall, chained to the stair rail. Overall, it was a cute, cozy room for a busy single lady.
I really like the 10k apartment because the outside patio gave me a London feel and a sense of serenity. I dont mind sharing the patio and would ask my neighbors if I could put up Christmas lights😊 The emergency exit I felt it was secure and liked how clean it was. I would make the washer, dryer, and kitchen work and i would use the room with no window for only storage. I can easily afford it but i do see how if I lived somewhere else with that rent price$$ it would be a mansion and my daughter would have a yard to play in❤😊
These apartment tours vindicate my decision to never live in a major urban center. My house is twice the size of the largest apartment, I look out onto a big pond with a ton of trees, and it only costs 2k a month!
Hi Cash and to your friend wow. This is another unique and spacious NYC apartment. I prefer the affordable $1000 then the $10,000 apartment. I like all the tiny kitchen and hardwood floors and with a sink sprayer. Stay well and safe 👍😎😀Then again I would prefer the bathroom and shower inside the NYC apartment. Overall great tour 👍😇
12:44 It was the door of this house to which Fran Drescher arrived selling cosmetics in the first episode of the iconic 90's sitcom called "The Nanny".
So Cash, are you tired of reviewing the neighborhoods? We miss your snarky and informative commentary in the surroundings. Please start doing neighborhood tours again!! It's what made your channel unique.
As someone living in Texas, it’s just a absolute culture shock that people who live in these tiny apartments think that the price they pay for it is okay. Meanwhile, we get a huge multi bedroom apartments with a kitchen and even a mini garage for at $2k a month. We literally have bedroom closets that’s bigger than the smallest NYC apartments! We LOVE and NEED our large space!!
While I would personally never live there either, I would imagine for some student at nyu, this might be perfect if they’re going to school full time and can’t afford to live in the dorms, as the dorms start at $4600 per semester. Apparently it can range up to $12k per semester as well.
I just got an "apartment" there, just trying to live in the city as a young man without much money, not really another option for the location and not having roommates, It's really not that bad
Terrible to make folks go outside the unit to pee or to shower. Yuck! Also detest the pile of shoes blocking the door of the $1,000 per month unit in violation of city fire code. That place should not be legal as is.
After university even the post college student renters trying to pay off their hideously high interest college loans wasn’t to live in something far superior to the microscopic pod dorms painfully endured for four or more years. At the very least having an in-unit potty and shower is a minimum requirement for most starting out in proper if minimal housing for adults.
$2,000 per month: Cute place. You don’t NEED a queen bed. Get a double or extra long single and prop up the bed but plastic storage bins. Previous season clothes can go in there. More plastic bins store on bottom of closet floor. Buy a couple big dressers (tall) from Kia and you’re set.
Cash, you crack me up. I love your videos. I have been to NYC once and loved it but that was over 20 years ago right after 911. I wont go anywhere near there now. Thanks for letting us know the info on what is going on there.
cash wanted to make me mad showing those first two places. . . 😂 😂 i like the 3 place the best. practical, bright, and easy to maintain. that 10g place layout was off, and that little kitchen was a disappointment.
$2k honestly looks like that'd be perfect for me (Fixed up of course) like honestly looks like a lot of fun and multiple spots to sit at and chill or have friends over in the living room area
Why anyone in their right mind would rent a closet for $1K is beyond me. & how many other people are crammed in2 those other units based on the amount of shoes you will have to navigate thru? 10 units on the floor??? Take ca number for the bathroom & shower. None of these places were great but the $10K was the best overall just horribly overpriced. We've seen way better for that kind of money
Having flashbacks watching this to my first apartment in Salem, Mass. 1986....3 bedroom 1 bath, was $750/mo, incl heat/ht water. 3rd fl walkup with balcony, basement laundry. Was maybe 1200 sq ft. Bet that same place now rents for over $4k/mo.

Here in the UK I pay £412 a month rent ($532 USD) and I have a 3 bedroom house... The fact it cost a £1000 dollars a month for basically a cell is outrageous.
Skye is cool, but she is no Mr Charles Monroe! I think I liked the $6k unit. I found a $2.9k apartment in Seattle and that price includes having a parking space, in-unit washer and dryer and it’s 777 sq feet. Not too shabby.
The second apartment, that little brown cabinet. That thing is 20 years old. I remember when that sell was brand new. I had to install a bunch of them.
They could easily put private bathrooms in the $1000 units by giving them a set up like in the full bedrooms on trains. It is a "wet bath" where you get a commode and the whole tiny room it is in is the shower.
It's really appalling that landlords in NYC get away with renting out closets and passing them off as apartments.

@@Leenapanther I was commenting about the room rental bathroom facilities down the hall unit only. 🙄
That first apartment scared me. My word…I’m thankful for seeing this though. Great guide for someone like me that wants to move to New York one day (Brooklyn).
It's always nice to see Skye touring with Cash.
💯💯💯
Cash, thanks for working on the weekends too! Hugs to your and your sweet lil family 🤩
The $2000 apartment looks like a decent place. The $3000 apartment is about equivalent of my apartment (which is about $700 because we have rent control here), very large for a single person, many of my neighbors have families in such apartments.
😮where what frfr
I like the second apt with the little stairs to the bedroom
I like the $2K apartment. So much potential and it's affordable. 😊
It would have been my choice out of them
That's like 4 iPhones
My rent is less than the price of an iPhone
And it's wider and has 4 rooms
Sad nyc
@@GoodMorning-b2wi pay $650 a month for my 2 bedroom apartment. Why would anyone live in a big city if it's that expensive?
@@Echo556_ that's still expensive compared to my apartment
But maybe your building is new, and the electricity bills are handled by the landlord?
Because my apartment is the opposite, maybe that's why it's 4 rooms and cheaper
Wait a minute
I think I've approximated my rent in dollars wrongly
My 4 rooms rent is actually almost 800$
And your rent looks reasonable
But a 1k $ rent is not reasonable
Third apartment definitely! The $10k was ridiculously overpriced and overrated as well. I’m getting used to NewYorkers not seeming to care much about kitchen size but I do! That $10k’s kitchen was like a last thought so they just added cabinets to the ceiling that no one will probably never use bc they look pretty but suck for true usage. See you next time Cash as usual great job 👏 p.s. was that first place more of say, a flop house? 😉
Also the kitched is the entry way to the apartment. That does not seem very hygienic.
I am so glad to live in a nice Florida house with my parents on 1.3 acres of land. Looking outside and seeing run-down brick walls must be so dreary and depressing! I can't imagine how anyone could handle living in any of these apartments, because the cheap ones are truly awful, and the expensive ones are literally more than most people's mortgage payments. Like seriously, who in their right mind would rent an apartment for $10,000 a month when they could own a place instead?
Who would live there: People who have jobs in New York and would rather spend $10,000/mo on rent + $6000/mo on mortgages for a couple vacation houses outside the city than $20,000/mo on a mortgage for a condo the same size in New York.
Also, you live in the Nazi State. I left the Nazi State, I'd rather live in a shoebox than down the street from racists who can legally shoot me dead for "threatening them" by walking home from the store on a public street, unarmed.
for people who don’t want to be inconvenienced by living in a rural area
@@jackpez I live in an urban area and my $1,200 apartment has 3 bedrooms, 1 & 1/2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a dining room. The fact that a $3000 apartment has less than that tells me everything I need to know about NYC.
Seriously, if the best you can get for $1000 is something worse than a f**king dorm room, the city must be a shithole. I really hope they were just cherry-picking a really bad apartment and that's not genuinely how bad NYC is.
@@tbuk8350Where are you in NC or SC?
I'd rather be dead in NYC than live in a mansion in Bumfuck, Florida
@ :36 @ 1:48 The worst thing about the first apartment is trying not to trip over your neighbor's 5 or 6 pairs of shoes strewn all over the hallway right outside your door. At least line them up neatly on your own side of the hall, people.
That first building has 70 units @ $1,000 (minimum) = $70,000/month, $840,000/year.
It'd be interesting to know what its costs are: property taxes, insurance, heating, water, etc.
In nyc you don’t have to pay for a water bill and heating the super takes care of everything
That's assuming every unit is rented, every tenant pays (on time) and there aren't huge expenses like a tenant took a machete to the walls and ceiling (yes it happened to me.)
SRO (single room occupancy/flop house). I grew up in NYC you paid weekly and living in one was the last option before becoming a mole person(living in train tunnels). These newcomers to NYC are the proverbial sucker born everyday. 😂 🤣
I can't believe they are a thousand dollars.
Wow, what a perspective into life in NY. I feel spoiled now in my 1400 a month house in Pensacola. Next time I think about complaining I will think about this video.
I'm in Pensacola too and makes my 1350sq ft actual living space brick home with 3 bedrooms and a garage on a 2acre lot huge backyard and equally huge front yard will a seperate 900sq ft finished office space look like a mansion which is fully sad!
Wow, so in the last 100 years we've gone from 1 communal toilet per 20 tenaments to 1 communal toilet per 10 tenaments AND they have DOORS now! That's solid 1% per year improvement. Well on the way to having 1 toilet per dwelling by mid 3rd millennium. 😂
Every time I watch one of these I feel more assured that, while I don't like to live more than 30-40 minutes from downtown, I am *not* a hive human. I don't want to be "in the center of everything".
Yes! You need to make more videos like this for single people looking for apartments! Good job 🎯👍🔥💯
Wow this is such an eye-opening experience. I used to live in NYC and I know it is an expensive city, but the housing market does not fail to surprise me! I have thought of moving back, but now looking at what you have to recommend, and in your other videos, I am going to have to think about my move seriously.
The neighborhood tours were always my favorite part but haven't seen a tour in what feels like a few weeks. The neighborhood tours is what made this channel cool. Now it's just like every other NYC apartment channels
I'm really not sure if I'm going to keep watching every video. Just not as good as it was
Oh no, Cash must be devasted you won't be watching anymore
No mention of air conditioning for any of these apts. even for $10K. After seeing the first 3 I want to clean my house the rest of the day.
LOL! I always say that everyone can gain/grab "something" of value from each Cash video!
Derp. There was an air conditioner running in one of them.
Cash,
I like the 2 & 3 k. Of course the 2k... after being cleaned up is a possibility. The location, neighborhood, safety (including fire escape), laundry room all important! . I think a rematch video on the 2 & 3 would be awesome 👌 !
Your videos are so fun! I'm originally from NEW ENGLAND BOSTON ETC.. NOW in FL.
Cash this was a cool idea for a video series. Maybe do one of these once a month or something. I liked all the options & it was rad to see the comparisons.
I have seen videos for the 1K type of apartment before, a lot of people live in them. Some of the videos I have seen the apartment did include it's own tiny bathroom, and sometimes not. A lot of people will either expand the loft to be larger, or put up one of those things that's like a bunkbed but with nothing on the bottom so you have space for an office, living space, etc. It's actually not uncommon in the far east, where apartments are tiny. I have seen videos of a lot of tiny apartments in NYC and other cities where people get very creative. Search the web.
It costs around the same as a room in a shared apartment in Singapore too
I was actually quite impressed with the $2,000. I'd say it's more than twice as good as the $1,000 one.
Best bang for your buck, imo.
LoVe the 2000 place.
Tons of storage,range hood,wee steps up to the action & sleep room plus a bath ! Dig the charm and character of this place.
It seems like regular apartments were split up into smaller spaces, to maximize rental income.
Smart landlords
been happening to NYC apartments for at least a century. Some of the very oldest buildings used to be massive mansions.
I'm trying really hard to understand how the first apartment is able to be legal... Is this an American thing? To share a bathroom with ten+ people? This must have been a nightmare at the peak of Covid🙈🙉🙊
Such apartments also exist in London; they're called bed-sits.
I've seen these in California. They tend to be called "boarding houses."
Legal. Boarding houses.
The previous tenant went insane started hoarding toilet paper.
Only in very few US cities, most would be illegal
The $6,000 per month unit has a decent outdoor area, albeit not a luxury spot. The skylight is fun. Decent closet space. The kitchen is a bit too compact to work easily in for anyone who is a gourmet cook but it minimally does the job. The third BR is a bit dark, and the renter can expect to be interrupted frequently in the wee hours from the buzzing intercom. The French doors are a welcome bonus though.
It's a 6th floor walk-up 🤔
That $6000/mo apartment sucks so hard. I have a high floor 2bd/2ba luxury doorman building with in-unit W/D, south and west facing windows, river and city views, in Manhattan for less than that.
I live in NYC right now and I'm here for college. I'm living in one of my college's dorms. I never realized how good I have it until this video. Oh my god. I'm so glad I'm leaving after graduation.
This is Gonna b so Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Sunday😀 …..
This video made me really sad, because there's people who can't even afford the first one...and they still have to live in NYC.
The gorgeous and lovely Skye is back! Cash's videos are always 10x better when she's in them. Is she single? Not that she'd ever date me haha. Really good video showing the price difference ranges. Of course that last $10K one isn't fair cause unless you're in the city for 1, 2 year or so, you should be buying at that point. Plus you're winning in life if you can afford that and a NYC lifestyle. The $3K one would be good for roommates.
The $10,000 per month features nice patio space, a full kitchen, and decent common space. Could wish for more space for a dining table for that price. I have seen better features at cheaper prices. The downstairs could serve as a work area or and art studio area. Could also serve as a den and guest area. The patio is good. Like that the laundry machines are included in the unit (in addition to the public laundry machines).
The 10k one feels like you might have to assert your patio boundaries with the neighbours.
I rented a $650😮 “apartment” in 2009, LES. It was a little bigger than the $1,000 and had its own toilet and sink, a half-bath, no tub or shower, no separate sink. The kitchen was three kitchen cabinets on the floor with a fake marble slab on top for a counter. Above it was a storage shelf. There was a tiny dorm fridge with microwave and toaster oven on top. I used a futon for a bed and couch, a card table for a desk, and two folding tables & chairs. There were two windows, one that opened into the air shaft, the other, looked over the street and fire escape. It was illegal to put in an air conditioner, but I did it anyway in the air shaft window. Heat came from one small steam radiator beneath the street window. There was a real skinny closet built into the interior wall, so little room that you had to hang your clothes on an angle. I put the futon on risers in order to keep storage crates for my non-hanging clothes underneath. I learned to improvise. A sprayer nozzle on a length of garden hose enabled me to spray water from the sink into two dishpans on the counter. I bought a small plastic kiddie pool to put on the floor and use the sprayer to wash myself. No proper bathing facility was the main reason for low price! When done, I’d scoop out the water with a margarine tub until I could safely pick up the pool and dump the rest down the sink or toilet. Electric outlets with power bars came from beneath the boarded up door, from beneath the floor molding, and down from the ceiling in the “kitchen.” Three cheap assemble them yourself 6” deep bookshelves served as area dividers for my bed and desk. Four 99c. printed pillow cases served for curtains and valance, two more went on the futon covered with plain colored wool blankets. Since it was just me who lived in this lovely illegal palace, it didn’t matter if I sponged off in the tub in the middle of the floor. Just close the curtains and lock the door. I hung up my mini cuckoo clock, two paintings of my favorite icons, a calendar from church, and an accordion style mug hanger on the back of the door for coats, hats, etc. I kept my bicycle in the hall, chained to the stair rail. Overall, it was a cute, cozy room for a busy single lady.
I really like the 10k apartment because the outside patio gave me a London feel and a sense of serenity. I dont mind sharing the patio and would ask my neighbors if I could put up Christmas lights😊 The emergency exit I felt it was secure and liked how clean it was.
I would make the washer, dryer, and kitchen work and i would use the room with no window for only storage. I can easily afford it but i do see how if I lived somewhere else with that rent price$$ it would be a mansion and my daughter would have a yard to play in❤😊
😃 Happy Sunday
These apartment tours vindicate my decision to never live in a major urban center. My house is twice the size of the largest apartment, I look out onto a big pond with a ton of trees, and it only costs 2k a month!
The second one is awesome!
Edit: Okay maybe the third one is okay, too lol! 🤷🏻♀️
After seeing 😢all these I really appreciate the townhome I get to live in , so beautiful and feeling so blessed
The first area is not even an apartment. It’s just a room. Stop lying to these people.
I like watching these videos to remind me why I left NYC and have never been happier.
Love this idea! You get what you pay for.
Hi Cash and to your friend wow. This is another unique and spacious NYC apartment. I prefer the affordable $1000 then the $10,000 apartment. I like all the tiny kitchen and hardwood floors and with a sink sprayer. Stay well and safe 👍😎😀Then again I would prefer the bathroom and shower inside the NYC apartment. Overall great tour 👍😇
Great comparison,love vlog, apartments and cashxx💕
12:44 It was the door of this house to which Fran Drescher arrived selling cosmetics in the first episode of the iconic 90's sitcom called "The Nanny".
So Cash, are you tired of reviewing the neighborhoods? We miss your snarky and informative commentary in the surroundings. Please start doing neighborhood tours again!! It's what made your channel unique.
that $2,000 apartment actually seemed kinda cozy and liveable I would totally live there
As someone living in Texas, it’s just a absolute culture shock that people who live in these tiny apartments think that the price they pay for it is okay. Meanwhile, we get a huge multi bedroom apartments with a kitchen and even a mini garage for at $2k a month. We literally have bedroom closets that’s bigger than the smallest NYC apartments! We LOVE and NEED our large space!!
Okay? Why do you compare ny and texas
Yeah but y’all laws lol
@@mercedesisblackbut ya'lls crime.... 😂
@@nooneyouknow5516 describe y’all
yeehaw!
Fantastic! Another Skye episode.
I know it’s New York, but anyone who willingly lives in that first place needs to have a serious conversation with a therapist… Self esteem!
While I would personally never live there either, I would imagine for some student at nyu, this might be perfect if they’re going to school full time and can’t afford to live in the dorms, as the dorms start at $4600 per semester. Apparently it can range up to $12k per semester as well.
@@goracks69 Only if you're a guy; it's exceptionally dangerous for a female.
I just got an "apartment" there, just trying to live in the city as a young man without much money, not really another option for the location and not having roommates, It's really not that bad
@@josephvalceanu6427wow what you do for a living
I'm glad they have so much fun with the horrible conditions some people are forced into. But hey, at least they can afford better! Subscribed!
Terrible to make folks go outside the unit to pee or to shower. Yuck! Also detest the pile of shoes blocking the door of the $1,000 per month unit in violation of city fire code. That place should not be legal as is.
Think dorm.
After university even the post college student renters trying to pay off their hideously high interest college loans wasn’t to live in something far superior to the microscopic pod dorms painfully endured for four or more years. At the very least having an in-unit potty and shower is a minimum requirement for most starting out in proper if minimal housing for adults.
$2,000 per month:
Cute place. You don’t NEED a queen bed. Get a double or extra long single and prop up the bed but plastic storage bins. Previous season clothes can go in there. More plastic bins store on bottom of closet floor. Buy a couple big dressers (tall) from Kia and you’re set.
Live outside NYC take the train in. My advice.
With a little love that second apartment would be very appealing
This is why we work from home on Long Island 🤪
Cash, you crack me up. I love your videos. I have been to NYC once and loved it but that was over 20 years ago right after 911. I wont go anywhere near there now. Thanks for letting us know the info on what is going on there.
Good morning ! ☀️
cash wanted to make me mad showing those first two places. . . 😂 😂 i like the 3 place the best. practical, bright, and easy to maintain. that 10g place layout was off, and that little kitchen was a disappointment.
Basically, a $10,000 apartment in New York is like a $1,600 apartment in the capital of Spain. And the NYC one still being mediocre.
Immediately thumbs up for opening the small door with the screw knob 😂
That ubiquitous grey tile in kitchens and bathrooms.
Let’s not overlook the horrible, standard wanna look like oak or walnut cabinets 🤦🏻♂️
@@luiszuluaga6575 🤦
@@lizh1988😳🤷🏻♂️😅
$2k honestly looks like that'd be perfect for me (Fixed up of course) like honestly looks like a lot of fun and multiple spots to sit at and chill or have friends over in the living room area
Why anyone in their right mind would rent a closet for $1K is beyond me. & how many other people are crammed in2 those other units based on the amount of shoes you will have to navigate thru? 10 units on the floor??? Take ca number for the bathroom & shower. None of these places were great but the $10K was the best overall just horribly overpriced. We've seen way better for that kind of money
Having flashbacks watching this to my first apartment in Salem, Mass. 1986....3 bedroom 1 bath, was $750/mo, incl heat/ht water. 3rd fl walkup with balcony, basement laundry.
Was maybe 1200 sq ft. Bet that same place now rents for over $4k/mo.
I wonder what the regular income in New York is. I‘m in German public service, having a bachelor degree and being paid accordingly. I wouldn’t be able to pay the rents of the liveable apartments.
There are 4 other boroughs you could live in cheaper and we have excellent public transportation. Manhattan does not comprise all of NYC.
@@queens6583 But there are still too much people for my liking. 😉 I prefer having a garden, silent nights and being able to see stars.
@@claudiakarl7888 Well then, NYC is not for you unless you move to upstate N.Y. where you will find plenty of that.
@@queens6583 Let’s take it further: I‘d never would move to the US. But I‘m still wondering if the wages in New York are so high that people can afford such rents,
Happy soaking Sunday
Have you ever done an episode showing apartments that are disabled friendly?
Of course you saved the best till last !! Very enlightening as to what your money can buy!
For $10K that place was a shithole.
A Message to our Dear American Cousins, How are they allowed to Rent that first Flat?It has to be Illegal Right??🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
I think technically it's a rented room so I believe it's considered legal and to code here, although not very convenient!
Awesome job cash see you tomorrow.
Why are there 35,000 pairs of shoes outside in the hallway? Is that how many roommates live in the room across the hall?
Makes me grateful for what I have🙏🙏🙏
With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly-which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfolio
very true, I started investing before the pandemic and that same year I pulled a profit of about $600k with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was seeking guidance from a financial-advisor, you can be passively involved with the aid of a professional....
Thanks, I merely looked her up on Google and was highly impressed by her credentials; I got in touch with her because I need all the help I can get. I just set up a phone call.......

Is a raining Sunday but is a great day Cash Thank you
this is sad
Here in the UK I pay £412 a month rent ($532 USD) and I have a 3 bedroom house... The fact it cost a £1000 dollars a month for basically a cell is outrageous.
why do non-rich people purposely move to NYC? I will never understand it
@CASHJORDAN- lets discuss yo mommas big ass forehead
thank you for showing us apartments
$3,000 was the best value for the money.
Skye is cool, but she is no Mr Charles Monroe! I think I liked the $6k unit. I found a $2.9k apartment in Seattle and that price includes having a parking space, in-unit washer and dryer and it’s 777 sq feet. Not too shabby.
That 1st unit reminds me of a prison cell...I just couldn't do it without losing my mind
The second apartment, that little brown cabinet. That thing is 20 years old. I remember when that sell was brand new. I had to install a bunch of them.
That poor soul who rents the 70 sq foot unit...
They could easily put private bathrooms in the $1000 units by giving them a set up like in the full bedrooms on trains. It is a "wet bath" where you get a commode and the whole tiny room it is in is the shower.
