Join me on my hunt for the perfect apartment! In this video, I viewed 13 units within 10 buildings. I viewed studios, one bedrooms, and two bedrooms. Which unit would you have chosen? Let me know in the comments!

    I just got back from my first visit to NY. I ended up staying at a hotel in Times Square. It's suchh an exciting city with so much to do; but I totally understand the crime rate being a concern, as well as expenses. As soon as I saw the outside of the last apartment, I said "yup! That's the one" haha. Great video ❤️

      @MeaganIsHere  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Hey girl!! I’m so happy to see you back on my channel ❤️! I used to LOVE NYC so much; the vibe, the energy, the restaurants! But sadly, it has changed so much. It’s become even more expensive and the quality of life is diminishing 😢. Even Times Square seems a tad sketchy! As soon as I drove up to view my new place, I knew I’d be leasing there too 🤣! Thank you for watching! 💕💞

      Thanks so much! Living outside of NYC is like such a breath of fresh air! The Modern is so SO nice! I remember touring it about 2 years ago and a one bedroom was $2700. Now those same units are nearly $4,000 per month! I'm loving my new apartment so much! Thanks so much for your support! I'm going to check out your channel now! 💕💞

    It's fun to compare different preferences and values in apartment hunting. When I saw the square footage of the apartment you picked, it became "not for me" instantly but for you it fit what you value. Glad you found what you want!

    • @MeaganIsHere
      @MeaganIsHere  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      It’s so funny you say that! When my broker told me about the apartment, he said it was a studio. Because I had seen so many excellent one bedrooms, I immediately told him no and that I didn’t think it was worth viewing. He convinced me to check it out anyway. The moment I walked in and saw the city views, amenities, and location, I knew I had to take it! I shocked myself because I’m usually not one to change my mind once I make a decision. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! ❤️

    Oh my god, I always saw myself living in NYC due to the career path I’m planning to take. But after seeing this video, I feel like it’s such a good idea to live out of the city, but still close by. It seems like you can get much better quality of apartments within your budget!!

    • @MeaganIsHere
      @MeaganIsHere  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yes! See, you understand! There’s a big stigma with moving to Jersey from NYC but honestly, I don’t understand it and I’ve never bought into it. By living directly outside the city you can often live in a spacious, luxurious apartment with amazing amenities (pool, gym, rooftop, in unit washer and dryer, etc)! It’s SUCH a better value and I highly recommend it! Nothing beats coming home to an amazing apartment! And when I want to be in NYC, I can be there in less than 30 minutes. Thanks so much for watching! 💕💞

  • @Prada310
    @Prada310 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I feel sorry for the older units in west New York and Weehawken because when they were built it was considered very modern and luxury years ago. Unfortunately new buildings started popping up left and right and they can no longer complete as far as luxury. But being some of the first buildings they do have the perfect locations.

    • @MeaganIsHere
      @MeaganIsHere  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You’re ABSOLUTELY right. The original buildings were landmarks in the area and were definitely considered modern and luxurious when they were built. I witnessed a lot of those buildings being built when I first moved to the east coast. I still think those buildings are nice and many of them are meticulously maintained. To your point, it’s impossible for those buildings to compete with the MANY new developments (Riverhouse 9 and 11, RiverTrace, the Capstone, Estuary, etc.) in the area. I noticed that 2 of the older buildings in Port Imperial have recently been demolished to make way for new developments…yikes! It’ll be interesting to see how that whole area (and Edgewater once the superfund site(s) gets developed) in the years to come. Thanks for watching and providing feedback! ❤️

      Oh wow! Moving from the bottom to the top of NJ! I think Fort Lee is amazing. It’s the perfect blend of city life and suburbs. Plus, you’re right over the bridge to NY! If you can find a good deal or if you don’t mind spending some cash (the prices have increased SO MUCH since I posted this video), it’s a GREAT town to consider. If you do move, let me know how you like it! Thanks for watching, Beau!!

    • @MeaganIsHere
      @MeaganIsHere  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m so glad you liked the video! I absolutely LOVED living in Edgewater. This was actually my 2nd time living in Edgewater. The neighborhood is upscale and there are so many great restaurants and shops nearby. I’m not sure if you have a car or not, but the neighborhood is very walkable. Honestly, Jersey City is hit or miss. I prefer the Grove Street and Newport areas of Jersey City. There’s a good amount of things to do there and the proximity to Manhattan via the PATH train is A++. Exchange Place area is really nice visually, but you might find it boring. The Journal Square neighborhood (just my opinion) still has a long way to go. I didn’t find the surrounding area pleasant or particularly safe. The commute is easy from the Journal Square PATH train, but honestly, that’s the only positive. I don’t care for the Bergen-Lafayette section and Greenville is a 100% no for me. So yea! Try to see if you can snag a place in Newport or Grove Street areas. Exchange Place is good too. All other areas of Jersey City are still in transition…which may or may not work for you. Thanks for watching!! ❤️

      Hi Tom! Yes, the location is amazing! Every single apartment I viewed in NJ had at least an amenity or 2 and many had great views. This is my 3rd apartment in NJ and honestly, I can’t imagine going back to NYC living. I’m saving $600/month on rent, plus I’m no longer getting the NY city tax deducted from my paycheck. For me, the move across the River was a no brainer! Thanks so much for watching, Tom! 💙

    Very interesting video and I truly loved many of the apartments you visited. We moved from NYC over 25 years ago (before 9/11 happened) and I don't regret it. We're on the cliffs right above Hoboken and have a long Terrence with a panoramic view of the Hudson River and NYC - right across from the Empire State Building. The only pet-peeve I have is that it's an older building with none of the amenities you mentioned but it's rent controlled. I have three BR's, 2 baths and indoor parking 15 minutes from Manhattan, so I guess what I pay is worth it because in Manhattan my same apartment would easily rent for over $3,500, I pay much less and with the influx of New Yorkers coming over, what I pay is a bargain, Lol

      I tried to be somewhat discreet but I guess if you know you know 😉! The commute via the NJ transit bus (159R, 158, 156R) has been averaging me about 23-24 minutes to/from Port Authority Bus Terminal on 42nd St and 8th Ave. The fastest I’ve made the trip was 18 minutes.

    • @MeaganIsHere
      @MeaganIsHere  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Victoria, did you end up finding a place? I think it ultimately depends on where you work and where you will spend most of your time. NJ is overall a much better deal. You can get a nice apartment with amenities for a fraction of what NYC would cost. You need to factor in the commute. If you can find a nice place in NJ that's close to the PATH train, you should highly consider it. If the NJ apartment is near the bus, keep in mind that you will need to catch the bus at Port Authority on 42nd and 8th. I'm not gonna even lie, that commute can get old REALLY fast. The bus ride is quick but the process of going through Port Authority can be annoying. If you can't find a place in NJ by a PATH stop, try looking for a place in Weehawken, Union City, or West New York. All of those towns offer very quick commutes to NYC.

    We visited a lot of the same places, but looking for a 2 bedroom. The Modern was CRAZY small…my current couch wouldn’t even come close to fitting in the living room and basically your kitchen, LR and dining room all part of one teeny tiny room plus zero closet space. Plus, have to pay $250/mo for parking + amenities fee of about $75/mo. Hard PASS for me.
    I am assuming you decided on the place that starts with an “O” (dont want to give away your location). Very nice but also very tiny 2 bedroom w limited closet space. But great views.
    In the end, we decided on a duplex which has a ton of room, but no real views.
