  • Although this new york city apartment is quite small, at least its affordable for the manhattan location. That being said, SHOULD you rent this place? Its definitely got a few less square feet than most places, even in NYC but on the bright side, its got a dishwasher. At the end of the day anything better than this apartment costs more money, and someone’s definitely going to rent this.

    Mmph... it's "cute". But, not for $4500/month. No, ma'am. No, sir! This Landlord has obviously taken leave of their senses. The place would be claustrophobic enough with just one person but two people? 911 would be on speed dial...

      This is the kind of Manhattan apt that would be mind-bogglingly expensive at $1,000/mo 25 years ago. These prices are crazy. I remember listening to an interview with some old CBGBs punk bands that talked about renting practice spaces in SOHO for like $200/mo in the mid 70’s.

      I don't believe I'm saying this but I think $4500 is a good price. It's small but it's 2 bedrooms in Gramercy with an in unit washer and dryer. Full amenities. The only thing I don't like is the separate entrance. I would be worried about someone hanging out back there.

    Coming from Europe, there’s nothing wrong with the size if only for one person or a couple. Definitely not suitable for a roommates situation. Love the timber floors, kitchen is well setup and there’s a laundry included. So overall, could be a lovely home…. But that price is ridiculously high!

      It's in New York, one of the most pathetically overpriced places on EARTH. Even 50,000 Euros a year is hardly enough to survive and have anything left to put food on the table. And one thing New York doesn't admit: the prices are driving people out. There were videos put up of entire city blocks that are shuttered because nobody can afford the criminal property taxes or mortgages. Soon, half of New York City will be a ghost town...

      As someone who lives in Japan, I agree completely. This doesn't feel all that small and would be perfect for a couple. I thought at first it was just the common space and the one bedroom which would be a bit on the smaller side (though would be very great for one person - was bigger than places I've lived in anyway) but the extra bedroom in the back makes it feel a lot better. Though, for that price I'm not so sure. lol. But that's the price of living in the big city I suppose.

    Love how the landlord put in that pocket door to make it a "2 bedroom" so he could jack the rent up $1000 a month. Really that was the dining/living room originally, the lone bedroom was in the back. Can't imagine sharing a place that tight with a room-mate, would be fine by yourself though, throw a couch/tv in that front room with the pocket door

      I think you are right. And if you turn what is called a bedroom into a din and then use the other part as a kitchen it is not a bad size place for one or a couple starting out. Of course at a price of around $4400 starting out with a good paying job. Having a roommate would be way too small of shared space.

An elderly relative looked up a Bushwick apartment she lived in as a young married woman, she assumed the building was knocked down.

    Yes, it’s expensive for rent but that’s Manhattan. It wouldn’t be bad for a married couple but not a single person. And not enough space for roommates as well as living in the tiny areas could ruin a friendship. I own a 4300 sq. ft. house, but if I was trying to buy even my own house today, I couldn’t afford it. Prices have skyrocketed. Even noticed wall tile has gone up by 25-30% in less than a year (I remodeled a bathroom last year and was shocked that even the cost of those supplies have since gone a lot higher). It’s ridiculous!! I am especially horrified at landlords telling renters their new rent will be doubled or prepare to be evicted! Shameful. It’s going to cause more people to become homeless and more generations of a family to all live under one roof in order to survive.

    Cash, could you possibly do a video on cost effectiveness in relation to other aspects such as transportation costs for the subway, costs that may be included in some rents like heat or internet, laundry costs both in building and laundromats, co-op maintenance fees etc? I feel like it might give people a better idea of the relative cost savings or extra expenditure required to live in certain areas that might be really helpful to people that are new to NYC.
    As for the flat, I really like it but I could only tolerate it if it were just for me, rather than sharing with a flatmate. It seems extra secure with the fences and walking through the building in front to get to it. I love how sunny it is, that makes the size far more acceptable. I'm not sure how that price stacks up for using it as a one bedroom in Manhattan, but if that were a decent price, I needed to live in that area specifically and I could afford it on my own, I would happily take it if I were moving to NYC.

    Nice looking apartment and location. I reckon it would be suitable for a single person or couple as the 2nd bedroom could be used as the lounge. Kitchen is too small to use as a dining area as well. Price is high though and not sure if this is market price or inflated for NYC. I see no reason why the previous tenant went "mental" unless there were more then 2 people living there. love the fact that it is sunny/light and has no basement or crazy stairs!

    LOL "tastes like college." I think the apartment would be okay for a couple and make one of the bedrooms into a family room. Nothing else okay about the price, though!

    That's an awesome space! My first place was a studio that had no doubt been illegally created from the master bed/bath (with kitchenette added on) of the apartment next door as the access door was still in place, though sealed shut, and my one window was also my only door, the sliding glass door off the passageway!

    The mirrors on the inside of the med cabinet are to see your hair and around the sides and back of you when getting ready!

    I think the apt is adorable. I lived in that area, and always enjoyed it. Look at all the windows, and outside the windows you have trees, vines, turning to green in the summertime. It's like a little cottage. Could I live there? Yup, no problem. Better than yesterdays converted railroad rooms with no windows, looking like a dungeon. The couple of windows it did have, faced the building air shaft. This, on the other hand is a cheerful apt, and I really like it. Yes, the rooms are a bit small, but there's a lot of light in all those rooms. It's a great neighborhood also. Buildings in that area have always been well-maintained, that's what makes it so desirable.

      Totally agree. I could live there! It’s so bright and cheerful!

    Um, no. I couldn't imagine having a roommate. Period. But I also can't imagine sitting in the 'common space' and your roommate is 'going at it' on the other side of the pocket doors. Or if that roommate is sleeping and you want to watch TV and have to keep the volume down so low that you can't hear the name of the person being called to "Come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right"? My one bedroom apartment is bigger than the entire apartment, and is only a fraction (1/5th) the price. No thanks!

    I was expecting much smaller! That's a lovely place. It would be tight in a couple/kid situation because the common space is so small, if my son was older and wanted to spend more time alone then it would work, he could have that second room. But as a kid, I think we would take that room. The price is the only awful thing! Even living with a roommate I could do it, if it was my best friend or someone I know and like.

    I've only seen delays like that in Philly when the train was stopped for hours during rush hour. And the snowstorm in March 2019. That was not fun.
    Otherwise, this apartment, while small, feels cute and cozy. If I make a lot of money one day I would try living there.

    Seeing how small and how much they want can you imagine being in this place during quarantine?

    I had that medicine cabinet in my last house. I was so bummed to leave it behind when we sold. The inside mirrors are for applying make up and lotions with the doors open...easy access
