His faith in NYC real estate is adorable. 90% of city landlords barely want to paint much less upgrade lol
In North Carolina it's law to paint between tenants, even if the tenant was there for a month. But then, life here is very diff from NYC.
I feel like he's got a pretty good idea of what's happening in the places he accepts listing for
Lol fr
Lol
I have no intention of moving to NY but I watch every day.
I gotta say I got addicted to watching these video's because he is such a great smartass...and I gotta say I love a good smartass...and just watching what Cash says about the city leading up to each apartment tour is basic comedic gold friend
Me too
Same!! 😆
Me either but I love watching
That's how it starts. Currently living in NYC because of these videos. I got hooked
I am severely confused how you don’t have more subscribers. You have a great videography style and a nice narrative voice. As a person that has never visited NY, and never will, I like seeing what happens and what it looks like around the city. Great work!
Never say never! 👍
He has 376 thousand subscribers. That’s not a small following.
I agree. Cash is building a group of loyal followers.
@@claudinecarreiro9494 This comment is from 9 months ago. He's grown quickly.
UA-cam recommended this video to me. It was a sign 😂!
I lived in NYC in 1967-1972.
I love his videos and I get to see how much the neighborhoods I lived in have changed. Metamorphosis actually!!
Thank you Cash😊
What made you move if you don’t mind me asking?
Was ny worth it.?
I live in the UK, and I'm fascinated by how small and expensive these apartments are. Where do you prepare food? Where is the living room? How do you not go mad living in such a small place?
It is wild. I live in a studio (bed and living are one room) and even it feels spacious compared to the places Cash sees! Also mine is like $720 a month.
UK homes aren’t the largest either 😂
@@AlyssaFrom441 no, but I've lived in bigger bedsits than these
My room is about 10 tiles long and 12 tiles wide, I’m 5’2”. I think it just depends on how you use the space and what you do, I fit a twin bunk bed, and small fridge and microwave, a storage ladder, a small media console, and small tv in there. Though I will say it’s hard to have a second person in the room. I also use a portable desk for my computer.
Ever been to london? Same shit mate
The last one is perfect for roommates. Not a ton of space, but you only have to see the roommate in passing. Plus in unit laundry.
I love how watching these always instantly makes me feel better about my apartment
I love watching these, they're quite addictive. It also makes me so thankful that I don't live in New York anymore. So little space and so much money for such a dirty and difficult town to live in.
What I appreciate with these apartments is that they use Europeanen style appliances. The skinnier stoves, and less bulky fridges just make that there is more space in the kitchen and that everything fits more seamlessly than in other apartments I've seen on this channel. I would be so frustrated to have full size american appliances knowing there are smaller ones giving me more space in the rest of the kitchen xD.
Why am I addicted to this channel? I'm never moving to New York...but Cash makes me want to consider it. 👍❤
Same, but I find it so entertaining 👍
Me too! I think, if I were 20yrs younger, single, no kids - then I would put a couch here and a fold-out table here, and this corner would be great for plants... I don't even live in the US, but Cash has me mentally moving in to these spaces.
I watch these videos for his descriptions of the neighborhoods as well as appreciating that my house is way bigger than a lot of these places. “Big” being a relative term.
Never thought Apartment Touring . . . would become entertaining ! 😀 😎 🇺🇸
@@TheCaptaininsaino Me too . . . they say NYC is the city that never sleeps ! Viewing his productions along with regular digital New York Times access gives me a confirming opinion/diagnosis . . . Lol ! 😎 🇺🇸
Smart locks are fabulous! They're great if you have people taking care of your house while you're on vacation, or have workers coming in and out during the day. You can deactivate their code when the need is done, and you don't have copies of your housekeys all over town.
Someone call in Lock Picking Lawyer...
like Escape from Tarkov.
My friend lived in the smallest nyc apartment I’ve seen, it was a studio on Jane st and Greenwich ave, the room was not wide enough to fit a twin mattress, so it had a custom sized bed built in with a foam pad. The crazy thing is the bathroom was almost as big as the room, with a full tub with brass feet.
When I was looking for apartments someone tried to sell a boiler room as a bedroom. I don't think any bed would fit in there!
With older buildings whose apartments have been gutted, I wish I could see what the original apartments were like. I don't mind something that isn't brand new and that looks like it's from another era. But all the apartments seen here, including Roberto's, were really nice.
They were beautiful and a lot bigger before the old apartments were butchered in the name of profits.
Oh my they were palatial! Many pre-war buildings had a spacious entryway, then lots of rooms in addition to a living room. Some of these tiniest apts that I see in the older NYC buildings in the areas of Murray hill, Upper West Side look like the rooms where the maids lived in. Some are still in a doorman building with an elevator. But you have a loft to sleep in and you live in 1 room, except for the bathroom.
@@aggierowe9574 I have some books about the older apartment buildings of New York City and it's fun to just look at the pictures of those buildings and the apartments inside them. Though it was published in about 1978, a book that is still very interesting is "Life at the Dakota" by Stephen Birmingham. If you can become a fan of building, that book made a fan out of me! I even like the fictional version of the Dakota: the Bramford in "Rosemary's Baby" and the two apartments that had started out as one apartment and there was a hidden door.
@@andrewbrendan1579 I once lived down the block from the Dakota, on 72nd St and Columbus Avenue. The Dakota is grand! I lived in what was known as the skinniest building on West 72nd St. and back in the early 1990s I found a large studio there for $750! It was so large I built a Japanese shoji screen and divided the space so I could have a separate sleeping area. But back to grand buildings. The Ansonia was another large pre-war building on the Upper West side too and similar to the Dakota.
@@aggierowe9574 What an experience that must have been living down the street from the Dakota! It must have been a special time in your life. I'm imagining having that remarkable building as a part of my neighborhood. From books that I've read/looked at about New York apartments I know of the Ansonia. Quite a place!
Cash is a great sales person. He really know how to hype things up. Forget the sink sprayer can we use counter space as an accurate measure for quality of the apartments?
I love your tours. Do not want to move to NYC but I can live vicariously through your videos
I love seeing the ingenuity of how these “apartments” are designed and come into existence.
Sitting here quietly enjoying ☕ and supporting Cash's videos. Have a good one y'all!
As a home owner in NY I cringe at these apartment sizes, interior and the cost!
The last apartment is nice for two private roommates. There is no living room. This was probably a one-bedroom apartment converted to two beds. I would use the front bedroom as a living room for a single occupant.
Well Cash, you just never stop! I actually like the apartment that’s getting the new door and porch to the outside area! I hope you get a chance to go back and see it!
The weird ladder space I think would be suitcase and box storage! Unless you want to try and get a drunk friend to climb that ladder and sleep up there …. Then they could creepily watch as the person in the front bedroom sleeps ….. mmmmmm very odd! A strange decision by whom ever renovated that apartment 🤷🏻♀️
The drunk friend would have to be as flat as Gumby
@@watanabewatanabe7886 hahaha right! Fold them in half and just slide them right on in there 🤨
they need to close off that crawl space! I could not sleep with that open space that things and people could creep through.
It's a loft for spiders and dust bunnies.
Always a pleasure to watch you do your thing!!!
Really like that last one. If I could afford it on my own, I'd rent the smaller room for more than half the rent. Liked them all. 👍🏼👍🏼
I love seeing all the apartments of NYC, and love you for doing this. I live full time in Costa Rica now in a big house with a guesthouse larger than most of these places. Fascinating what real estate is like in other places.
It’s crazy how the last apartment has things that would make you think one room is worth more than the other but it has certain qualities about it that would even out the rent in my eyes. The other one has its own bathroom which is a big plus, but it’s smaller but it also has a full medicine cabinet, the other one is bigger but it’s not completely private, but it has more sunlight and it has a bathtub
New York is the only place I've ever seen with windows that are about 8" wide. My faves are the ones that face the interior of a building. Are they going off building requirements by law? Did they punch tiny little holes through the brick in those bathrooms and kitchens for them? It's fascinating to see in a city as old and crowded as NYC. I'd go for the apartment that was having a porch put in. It had a lot of light and a layout that didn't include a way for your roommate to be a creeper. Thanks, Cash. Great video.
@R L This is why I don't live in NY
Re the windows, the NY Tenement Museum had some great info on how the apartment buildings changed over time. Since the lots are only 25' wide they'd have two suites on either end of the floor, 4 in total - parlour in front with the windows, then kitchen in the middle, bedroom in the back - but only windows in the parlour. Then because of concerns about tuberculosis & ventilation the city made a bylaw saying bedrooms had to have windows. In true Greedy Landlord tradition they started putting windows in the wall separating the bedroom from the kitchen/parlour, NOT a window to outside.
A few years on and the city rolls its eyes and says "dammit we meant a window to outside!", changed the bylaws again to stipulate outside windows. This is the late 1800s. Then apartments were built with these tiny little hollow spaces in the middle (the interior of the building) so the back bedrooms could technically have windows to outside. Tiny ones might be later 20th century additions - not sure if the bylaw stipulated how big the windows had to be.
That's why NY has these tiny windows looking into these dark caves of interior but-technically-outside space.
Oh I like the unexplainable ladder feature for party conversation topic. I hear endless snarky comments in the future.
I always remember that episode of "The Great Outdoors"; when one character stayed with another. And the apartment was 10ft square. The single bed folded down; the toilet and shower rotated out of the wall; and everything else was hanging from hooks on the wall. And there was a hot water pipe in the middle of the room, that would burn anything that touched it.
3500/month to live in a tiny apartment surrounded by area that looks like its the ghetto of Tijuana...I dont want anyone to ever talk about "expensive real estate in Southern California" again
That second place is awesome! It's a Sesame Street building!!!!!! ❤
It's so crazy that these tiny rooms are considered good for the prices.
Living in the country in the south for that price you could probably afford mortgage on a house with as much square footage as all the apartments in that unit combined lmao
Hell, my bathroom is bigger than a lot of those bedrooms
I can't even fathom why people would want to live in a city. The noise, the pollution, the people who are all in a hurry, the crime, the lack of privacy, no chance at ownership of property, confined spaces, lack of nature ... it's awful.
Funnily enough about signs, I recently found an apartment that I'll be moving into in Feb after lots of searching. Went with this place because it reminded me a lot of a great place I used to live in the past and had a lot of happy memories with, I took it there and then at the viewing 😌
I hope I never have to live in NYC, but these videos are actually addicting to watch.
The ladder/loft/storage thing is pretty clever
as a londoner i now feel like we get too much space. a luxury apartment in central london is typically £1.5k each for a two bed. and you're getting almost 800sq ft lol. you guys pay 2k usd and get a broom closet wtf
3:17 When you walk out that store, it should just say: "Congratulations, You Played yourself"
I have watched a few of these but I always wonder how people possibly earn enough money to pay the unbelievable rents. $3K would pay my rent for almost 6 months and I live 1/4 mile from the beach in Huntington Beach, Ca.
I would close that loft thing from the hallway/stair side and put a mattress or two up there for my 2 kids to sleep in accessing through the room also changing stairs from hallway to room. I love quirky structures.
I’d keep as much storage up there as I could in that small space lol
What is the most disgusting stuff you have came across touring apts.?
I also have no intention of moving to NYC, but ur video's are so cool. Love u Buddy 💓
Love looking at New York apps he is so funny love this channel. Funny how ppl recognize him!
I grew up in Greenwich village, I loved it as a kid
Thanks you Jordan see you soon
I love his obsession with sink sprayers 😂 it could be the biggest dump in the city....."but look! A sink sprayer!!!"
The first apartment is large enough, with windows and outdoor space, but it is on the expensive side. The second apartment works with two room mates.
That is crazy! Who woulda thought medicine cabinets and hand towel holders were perks.
I hope you are right about the first flat because all I am seeing is "basic". @11:27, that's a corridor, Cash. Nothing should potentially block escape. @13:16, the bathroom doesn't look bad but the dealbreaker is no living room.
Wow! Not sure why but YT recommended this video & I watched out of curiousity....I guess you get used to the small spaces...you adapt, but it definitely makes me appreciate my home!
I love your channel I watch it all the time. So, come on. Where was the tiny apartment that might not be legal? Can the title and video match? Much appreciated.
Love your videos!
Addictive! I have been to NYC 20 ish times.
I’d never live there, can’t stop watching
I wish you would do this in South Carolina!!!!
I moved here from Massachusetts almost 10 years ago… AND WHOOOOOAAAA THEE PRICES HAVE CHANGED
My favorite bumper music is back🙂
Love his sarcasm and funny comments LOLOL
It always seems to me in those kind of videos that dishwashers get a lot of attention? Wondering because sometimes kitchens got like 2 ovens and a steam cooker + a tepanyaki grill. But always people seem to be surprised about the dishwasher. Pretty sure you would find a dishwasher even the most basic kitchens in Europe.
my favorite one so far
Yes, sink sprayer makes it up. 😄 I am a vampire 🧛♂️ 😆
A sink sprayer is 100x better then a hole where one used to be haha
Green acres is the life for me. Pretty interesting videos though. To each their own.
Cash I find myself lol all the time watching your videos. I have watched so many of your videos and I have no plans of moving to NYC lol.
If kitchen has space in combo with living room space , you can buy movable kitchen island for extra kitchen storage and eating space for apartment.
Blessed holiday season and happy new year to you and your family.🥰
Some areas have passed waivers to allow apartments just over 200 square feet. Micro apartments. Some in the low 500’s are being split to take advantage of this….
That fingerprint lock scares the shit outta me though... what if someone cut your finger to get it ... i'll stick with the code.
I keep hoping to run into Cash when I’m in NYC. 😂 no Cash just take the sprayer and leave the apartment on Essex. Again the 3rd one is best. I like that there’s 2 bathrooms.
Love the last one. Always worth watching you make the day better .
Good morning Cash. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas. So the problem with the 2 bedroom is if you are taking something out of the oven and roommate comes in front door disaster waiting to happen. Then the overlook into the bedroom that needs a light up there because that is creepy to have someone potentially looking in your room from there. Other than that great space.
Dude you reminds me so much of Ed Oxenbould in the thumbnail for this vid. I thought for sure this was him.
This kind of apartment is very common in Japan. True, is very claustrophobic, but at least you are trading that for cheap rent for at least having a place to crash n' sleep.
The second one is nice ❤❤
The ladder creep would be a fear of mine as well if that was my room.
i can’t wait for this one
I believe the smallest apt I've ever rented was probably 700+ sq ft and today, there's no way I could ever live in a place smaller than 1700 (maybe 1000 when I get real old! Lol). I need space and all these teensy apts at exorbitant rates amaze and horrify me. Where do people keep all their clothes? Sm kitchen appliances? Computers & printers? Books, hobby or special interest gear and supplies? Food, pots & pans, dishes (not enough cupboard space for all three)?I can't even fathom how I could possibly live in a place so small. My laundry room is bigger than some of those spaces. Lol
75 years made me giggle
If these are tiny my apartment is microscopic
How's the smart lock? Seems like it has good functionality. Might get something similar for the office.
5:14 "You can't really see it"
5:15 me: still can't see it on my sh*tty second monitor🤣
Merry Christmas 🎁 Cash Jordan
Yay, super early!!
Sink is a decent size? Man I can’t wait to see what you consider a small sink 😂😂😂😂
Whoa $3895 a month wow!!. I pay $1,095 for a 2 floor 4 bedroom house and in 2 years its mine.. I know State and city locations is a big differences..
Question: but why do ppl tap on mirrors like that lol it leaves prints and smudges
With you, Cash, about MTA frustrations. But always helps to remind yourself how much WORSE it would be if you had to drive everywhere (did that in different cities). Then the NYC subway wins hands down. Go back to driving in the Bay Area? I'd rather have molten lava poured in my ear.
Store the suitcases, or summer clothes or Costco toilet paper 24 bundle.
My first job was part time while I was in college. I made maybe 6k a year. Couldn't even afford the place I was living in (I ate free meals at work and my roommates paid for the utilities)
I literally can't imagine paying that much for a place to live (alone), as I wouldn't be able to afford those places now, with my fulltime job that is comfortable and I can even save money with where I live.
What you do with a sink sprayer? He sure loves those things . Never seen one outside of these videos
They're useful for rinsing dishes easier, washing hair in the sink, or spraying down messes from the floor and wall. If the water cord is long enough one can even wash a pet in a tiny tub or kiddie pool by the sink. I have one and the water comes out more forcefully than the regular faucet so it's good for dislodging difficult food from dishes.
@@leahunfeigned5955 Thank you for the answer. Honesty some of these posible uses horify me . I would defitely not wash my hair in there . Kitchen is for food only so needs to be clean . Spray things on the wall . No Not me 😅
not being savvy to any of this but having seen a few of your videos, i can't really tell why an apartment is good as opposed to bad... but don't mind me, i like in rural kentucky and rent a 2 bedroom house for $400 a month.
Love the jacket!!! Drop the link!
Me living in midwest paying 625 rent for a giant 2 bedroom 2 bath house, 5x the size of this. I don't know how ya'll do it. I couldn't live like that.
Size is good, kitchen needs updating, windows look at a brick wall so it’s a good thing there will be an outdoor area.
It is bigger than my flat in Northern Japan, SIGNIFICANTLY bigger; I didn't even think it was small XD.
it's not that small honestly, i'm sure the price is egregious for what you get though. but what you get is living in new york, which is where many people want to make it big and move up in the world. so i think it's not bad. it's cute for one person and a cat maybe.
3:03 . . . Crane is for washing windows . . . 20+ floors be up, Lol ! 😬
Rent is insane in NY. I'll stick to my corner of Ohio where I rent bigger than that for $600/month
I honestly don't understand these prices for what's barely a living space. They seemed acceptable until I heard the cost. Everything in those apartments can be brand new and I still wouldn't consider living there.
Hey, good news! I have me a kitchen sink sprayer too! Ain't that cool? 😆
Anyway, I may be no vampire, but I can be a chipmunk 😆
NYC is the capitol for the hunger games.
Sir your videos are amazing I live in a studio in the bx 😊
I actually live like two doors down form the bar lol that's my street but all the building there are super old and expensive af now then a few years back but the little garden there usually there are old men who sit there and play games while drinking lol
THIRTY EIGHT NINTEY FIVE?!?!?
