      The fact that she is looking with Charles and not cash is why she is seeing this mind of stuff. Cash has more people and owns his own business and has people working under him. She should have looked at cashs portfolio of luxury buildings even if they aren’t in Manhattan

      You can get a high-rise 1BR in Manhattan for that price, just not in the Village. I don't see the appeal to live in those old boxes just be in the Village, you can easily walk there from Chelsea or even FiDi, or take a short subway ride.

    I'm gagged right now... I've lived in NY for 10 years and these prices are absolutely insane... I guess we've probably hunted for different things and at different times (I've lived in my rent controlled apt for two years, right before the apartment prices dipped and everyone was getting INSANE deals), but I have a proper one bedroom in prime Williamsburg for $1995. Windows in every room, not necessarily renovated but not outdated. Laundry in the basement. Plleeeeeease keep looking. $5300 for a one bedroom in EV is atrocious. I feel like you can find a 2 bedroom for that price in Williamsburg . I get people want diff things and what's important to you might not be important to me, I'm just surprised lol makes me never wanna apt hunt again

    These apartment choices aren’t great. I just looked myself and saw lots of great listings all over the city in every Manhattan neighborhood with at least 1BR, 1Ba, central air, and in unit laundry in the range of 2.5k-5k. Paying 5k for no laundry even in Manhattan is a joke. There are much better choices than this. You may have to do some searching on your own to find the best deals. Don’t overlook CT either. Some would say the quality of life is better here while still being a short drive from all the NYC happenings. It’s also good to keep an address in CT for tax purposes, do whatever you can to avoid filing state taxes in New York.

ActionKid left too as I’m sure you know. I can’t believe how much it has changed in a few years. Tough to watch because NYC was an amazing place. Even more interesting to me is that NYC’s legacy/image is still appealing enough in its current state to people like Shelby who are considering moving in.

    When I was small my parents my sister & I ,with my grandmother, shared a large apartment on Riverside Drive. My Grandmother was covered by rent control. There were 2 units per floor.
    My Grandmother eventually died & my great aunt (moved in after we left) eventually went into a nursing home. Years later the building went Condo. It was very common that the owners purchased both apartments & turned it into a single unit of about 2,400 square feet.
    Last year I checked prices. The asking price of the former family apartment (now single unit) was $4.3 million dollars.
    Sheesh. Well across the Street was Riverside Park. 2 blocks East was Broadway & the 72nd Street subway stop…

    Crazy!!! For what, a sense of feeling cool, sophisticated. For that kind of money, buy a large, spacious house. An investment, real and large walk-in closets, space to put things where you want them!

    I feel like when people think about living in New York they always think about Manhattan not realizing that you can go a little bit out of the city and find a really nice apartments like in Brooklyn or in Queens or even uptown Bronx you can find a really nice apartments and it’s very convenient to get to the city by just a train ride

    After years in NYC I’m retreating to Philly…for now. They raised my rent by 48 percent! In Philly I found a place with 2 big bedrooms and a private rooftop in Center City for exactly what I pay now. 2100. I love New York, always have always will, but with my work going mostly remote,can’t justify the rent and taxes for a 250 Sq. Ft. closet anymore. I’m over it. But I encourage anyone wanting to live in New York to do it. Especially in your 20s when you can get roommates and are going out more than you’re staying in and can tolerate the cramped space.

    3:14 - Trippy - they put the dishwasher under the sink! First time I've ever seen that. The pipe must have to do an extreme right turn directly under the drain instead of the gentle curved pipe that drops about a foot down. Or maybe it's a new type of dishwasher that also acts as a sink drain router!? I'm truly fascinated.

    Thoughts from a long time NYer: the 3rd apartment was terrible for the price. The 2nd unit was nice but a 1,000 sqft 1 bedroom is overkill. For reference, I live in a 1,050 sqft 2 bedroom. Also $5k with no washer even on the hallway of the floor is ridiculous. The 1st unit seemed the best balance of space/price and holy cr@p that closet space was amazing. But you are paying for those closets and could probably find a better balance of amenities vs closets. Around 750 sqft for a 1 bedroom might be a better fit or a studio with an alcove.
    Finally, I suggest just walking around areas you like and going into buildings that look interesting if they have doormen and ask if they know if anything is available to rent. Some units never make it to market because people do this and it can help you avoid broker fees. I know several people who have done this to great success.

      ABSOLUTELY walk around and ask the doorman for availability and avoid broker fees. As an ex-realtor in the city I’m still dumbfounded by how expensive it is to rent in NYC. I ended up renting to clients in NJ and giving more value for their money.

    • @cheaserceaser

      How do you get 5K to pay for rent. Thats like 100K in salary (pre-tax) just for rent? I used to live in NYC myself and half my paycheck was paid to rent (82K salary), and this was for a $2k/month studio.

    If you must move to NYC, you can try look for a townhouse or a small house in staten island close to the bridge. It’s convenient to get to all boroughs of the city via 278. I just assume you still have the Tesla and will need to charge it. Don’t think about the toll, it’s nothing compare to paying for a parking spot if you live in any other boroughs.

    Just for anyone reading this that doesn’t live in the “ United States “ meaning Los Angeles, CA , New York OR Miami . These are average prices here in Los Angeles where I live a 2 bedroom apartment at 500-700 sq feet STARTS at $5,000 a month. I live in a studio apartment and pay $3,000 a month which in LA is very very average…. NO NEED to attack me I’m just simply writing what I pay in a NEW building in the HEART of LA

    $5500 is the new standard rent for a regular 1 BR in Manhattan. The demand to live in NYC is at an all time high and landlords are looking to recoup their losses from Covid. There is no shortage of people or couples making $300k+ who can easily afford these small apartments so they will all easily be rented out.

    As a real estate agent in Manhattan, I have to say, that agent was quoting more square footage than the units really were. When you go apartment shopping, most shoppers will ask what the square footage is, however most landlords don’t give the brokers actual square footage numbers unless, in my opinion, they’re 750 square feet and higher. It’s always best to tell the client that the square footage was not provided by the landlord because 9/10 times that’s the case. I wish he would’ve dressed more professionally for showings of luxury apartments, if your going to wear jeans then put shoes on, tuck in your shirt. He did take her to some nice apartments, and he sounded very nice so credit there.
