    It’s $3500 for a 4 bedroom. Not $875 for a 1 bedroom 🤦🏾‍♂️
    3:50 No one in their right mind wants a bedroom that others have to walk through to get to another space. When I first came to NYC back in the 90’s I had a bedroom where people had to walk through to get to the bathroom. Never again!

      The first one is a studio. That means the bed is in the living space. In a studio, anyone who comes over is in your "bedroom" lol. At least the yard gives guests another space to hang out in, even if they have to walk past your bed to get there.

      KleShreen, that's always been one of my pet-peeves with these sorts of re-configured apartments, calling an open plan kitchen, where a renter should put a table & chairs, a living room. Who would think it's such a good idea to put a sofa near a kitchen?! Cooking odors and grease would be absorbed into the sofa material and whatever else a person keeps in their living room, their TV, books etc.

      There will always be one who is late with the rent, or utilities or any other bill. He will insist he doesn't use as much electricity and always deny that he stole your food from the fridge. He will say with a straight face "I'm sure I bought that yogurt." He'll let his girlfriend move in, insists since she sleeps in the same bed he shouldn't pay more, even though she occupies the bathroom most of the morning and, like him, eats your food. He'll lose his job, not pay his share and blame it on the economy/government/banks, etc. so it's not his fault and you have to make up the difference or get evicted. The landlord and the utility company demand the entire rent, not each person's share.

    In the 70's my first apartment was $130 a month rent. Granted it was in an old frame house, second floor, but it was clean. Only the kitchen & bedroom (connected) shared heat from a wall mounted space heater. The small front bedroom and the living room & also the bathroom in the back of the apartment were freezing in the winters. Oh, and it was right next to the clattering el train. Such a quirky apartment.
    I have fond memories of that place. I wish young people could spread their wings independently with a first apartment---affordably---today as I did back then, without roommates. Having my own space was the whole point of moving out of my childhood home at age 20. What a great time the 70's were.
    P.S.
    I found out recently that that building has been fully rehabbed and rent for that 2 floor apartment is now around $1200.
    Times sure have changed.

Current NYC rents are not commensurate with most current salaries. *In the past, rent was actually one weeks salary.* I don't know many people who earn $3000-$6000 a week. Because rents were affordable in the past, few people needed roommates. Years ago, a friend was able to attend college, work part-time and rent an apartment, he did this without needing a roommate or getting financial help from his family!

      I work in Manhattan and if I wanted to live in a studio less than 350sq ft I could live three blocks away for $3000+ a month and my utilities probably wouldn’t be included. I sometimes work with students whose families can afford a three bed in the same area.

    The studio apt would be my choice! I live in a small studio now (250sqft). The bedroom would be perfect for a Murphy bed storage set. And some comfy chairs with a tv on a swivel wall mount. The kitchen add some stylish storage shelving surrounding the small 4 person dining table . Just remember when it comes to small spaces you go up utilizing wall space not go out which makes the space cramped with no flow. I find tiny living wonderful as it increases your creativity and limits material acquisition. Which I think saves you money on crap you don’t need and you can use it toward seeing the world around you.

    The one-bedroom unit doesn't impress me. As for the other one, a four-way sharing of a small apartment is risky, and though you may think the other three are friends, they might not be after a month or two. One or more may have outrageously bad habits, and you may end up being the only one who cleans the bathroom or washes the dishes (there's no dishwasher here). One or more may be a late-night freak, or plays loud rap constantly, or showers only once a month. One or more may always be short when the rent is due. If you can navigate those minefields, maybe this unit will work for you, but I'm not that much of a gambler. The price isn't bad if you are.

    These apartments are really nice. I like the finishes; the wood in the bathrooms is a nice touch. I'd move into that studio in a heartbeat, as that outdoor space is really great! The only problem is there's no storage space, but with enough cabinets you could make up for that. And it looks like each unit has its own water heater which is good. The four bedroom would be best split by two people; maybe two couples. Nice cheap rent! I'm guessing the area is not very desirable for those working in Manhattan

    If the whole apartment is $3,500, it's misleading to put "$875 NYC apartment" since that's only the cost of 1 bedroom.

    Nice spaces! I don't know why so many people are astounded by the idea of roommates, the per person cost, or the price of rent in general. It's NYC - that's just how it is! Also, that door jump was superb. 👌🏽 10/10

    If I ever were to rent out a studio I'd get a futon to save space and use the bedroom as an office/living room space too.

    Studio apartment would be great with a Murphy bed and side cabinets that look like furniture. Are the range tops resistance or induction? This is important as induction needs pots that react to magnets. If a magnet does not stick it will not work well on an induction cook top.

      @@angc.8810 - Search for “Lancaster Handcraft”. I particularly like one of the side cabinets designs, the one with the pull out night stand. It comes out to any measure and can serve as night stand, desk, folding table. We had our entire set (2 side cabinets and a bed) depth increased to 20”.

    That area is either Kensington (west of of Coney Island Avenue to McDonald Avenue (where you can get the F train) or Flatbush on the East Side, where you can catch the Q train. If you go up a block and cross Beverley Road that is technically Prospect Park South.

    An electric stove, usually means higher electric bills. Pretty sure electricity is rarely included in these apartment rentals. Sometimes in private homes electricity is included.

    That outdoor space is the best part of each apartment,, Not crazy about 1 washer and dryer for 5 people.

    so the first place you showed us, ground floor with patio access, is REALLY nice! You called it a "studio" but it does seem to have TWO rooms. Though technically, without a closet (instead of water heater) that can't be called a "bedroom". I'd use it as a living room (that you can sleep in). But are there ANY closets in that place?
    How many units in this building (all sharing the one laundry with just one washer and dryer)?
