mind is blown right now… I lived in this apartment in 2009. I had the bedroom next to the fridge. a German friend studying art slept in the room opposite and our Mexican friend who studied Math had the loft area. smoked many joints on that little terrace. ran up the six flights of stairs totally shitfaced many times. magical place.
I can’t believe the prices for those places. No wonder people were going insane during lockdown can you imagine being locked in one of those apartments paying those prices and not being able to leave.
@@firkinfright5168 would you want to be in a tiny box in a stack of tiny boxes like that 24/7 for 2 years? As for me, I'd get cabin/condo fever after a few weeks of that in a place like that!
i pay 500$ in canada and electricity hot water and stove and fridge included 🤯. My total income from all sources is around 9500$ a month…i invest the extra money lol
@Domo Premo, what land in NYC is cheaper than this rent? I realize other places are way cheaper, and I bought somewhere cheaper myself, but it's not within walking distance of so many businesses. You're paying for location, not size.
Amen! I made the mistake years ago when I wasn't making that much money to rent a place with a roommate that I could only afford with the roommate paying half the rent. Well then of course we ended up not getting along and they bailed. I got another roommate but then he got married and moved and then I ended up having to move to a smaller place.
The steep stairs are common in Amsterdam due to the way property was taxed. The wider your house was, the more it was taxed, so people built narrow houses, limiting the space. Those with wealth showed off by building wider homes. Fun fact: NYC was originally called New Amsterdam.
Yes, I had read that also. The Dutch who had settled there named it New Amsterdam but when England took control in 1664, they renamed it New York after the Duke of York (who today just happens to be Prince Andrew...knee deep in the Epstein scandal).
As someone who will almost certainly never live in NYC unless my career takes me there, I love these videos. It is fun to see the apartments in real life and how much they cost versus what you see on shows like Friends and How I Met Your Mother. It is wonderful to be able to explore the city with a guide during Covid too. Thank you for the wonderful content Cash!!!
same for me! apartments where i live are basically all very similar so its nice to see so many unique buildings and places. cash makes me feel like i live there too since he's so savvy with the city
Totally agree. I love his personality and love that he explores the neighborhood to see what shopping & eating you'd have. I'm not interested in living in NYC but Cash's channel fascinates me.
Friends apartment was inherited by monica and ross grandma after she died thats why everything was so unique and ross had to get his own apartment cus he was the one that made more than monica working at the national museum thats also why the apartment across was half the size
Some apartments can be a lot cheaper in NYC - but not in the best locations, unless you have rent control. I think the shows usually use that excuse for giant apartments (if they bother to have an excuse), because it's obviously not representative.
I think Monica’s apartment was rent controlled because it used to be her grandmas and it was like $300 or something like that. That place was huge for $300! Lol
I used to know the last person who rented that loft apartment, and she sent me a video of it raining really hard one time and the water just flowing into her loft from the bottom of that little door like a waterfall. The landlord refused to (edit: or was unable to) fix it, so she moved out. Plus, she was tired of paying over $4500/month on a tiny apartment that has window units in every window and really poor insulation, so it gets super cold during winter and super hot during summer without blasting the window units or the heater. Yep, sounds like your typical overpriced apartment in the city.
As soon as I saw that door to the roof, that was my immediate thought: where does the water drain to? Thanks for giving the answer. That probably explains why the floors look brand new - need to be occasionally refinished due to water damage. No thanks.
she could have fixed it or the landlord if they sealed the door but then again you would have to pay the 30 dollars for it and you would lose roof access
The prices of these apartments makes me greatly appreciate my dad for buying his own piece of land and building his own home and even allowing us to build our own extensions around the property if we want to in the future.
There is a reason every heavy liberal city center has a net negative population this last year. They all left and came down south where they are crushing our housing market. Houses are selling in under 3 hours site unseen. Ask me how I know..lol
@@joshuasterling2144 Personally, that's one of my favorite things about living here. It benefits me that no one knows how cool this city is & just associates it with cold & crime... I get to live in one of the nicest, cleanest, most central neighborhoods in the city for a reasonable price - no rent increases this entire pandemic. & In an economy so unstable? you can't imagine what a relief that is.
@@orangeblossoms88 that sounds cool modern new York looks like the parts of London here that we left to the African immigrants (the places are awful shitty no go zones now with trash graffiti and broken shit everywhere)
That first apartment...my daughter had a Malibu Barbie house bigger than that. The second apartment finally gave me a clue why NYers never wash their windows...nothing to see. Smh. But I would, definitely, choose the 2nd apartment only for the vintage touches. But it's basically another expensive hallway.
I think what it came across as is an old style larger NYC apartment that had been cut in half to get two rents out of one space. And you were the lucky person that got the old fireplace on your side of the wall. It may have fresh paint but subdivided old apartments is still a form of slum land lording despite this guy trying to make these spaces look hip and happy. And those wires of other peoples apartments services just hanging there outside your windows reminds me of something you’d see in Mumbai or Bangkok.
If I lived in New York, I would personally choose the second one. I prefer having my own private space, and me and my husband need very little to be fully content, but one of those we have learned after roommates previously, is privacy. Beyond that we prefer to complete control over our environment when not out and about, so having to share our space wouldn't work. But I can imagine how fun it could be for others to have roommates and good times
The first place would be perfect for a couple. Use the 1st room as a living room, 2nd as the bedroom. Table in the kitchen "common space". Way too small for roommates. You're better off with the second place for yourself. Home office! Great video as always!
Yea. Hipster millennials trying to convince themselves it’s an exciting life - while the rest of us just nod knowing yo can have fun in many cities with cheaper rents.
My first thought with the second apartment is I'd probably flip the living room & bedroom. Sleep in the smaller skinny place and have your actual wardrobe in that huge closet and set up a great hangout room in the back. That way you have some distance from the street & darkness for sleeping and the sunlight for hanging out.
Hello. The first one seems to be super narrow. For safety reasons you need to stay slim. You would need to invest on foldable furniture. The second place the owner only gave it minimal repair/update. That says a lot on the owners cheapest. It is wider and spacious.
I used to think that these prices were insane and only in New York, but now having lived in Marin county (10 miles north of SF) I can say that yes 2750 for a 1 bedroom is pretty accurate. Waiting for this storm to pass one day…
I don’t require (or want) a roommate so, one of those bedrooms would definitely use as a living room. The “Common Space” you referred to looks more like a pass-through. It’s definitely too small for a living room. I love exposed brick and the general unusual setup especially that weird little door... It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. The second apartment is definitely better. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Definitely! He can make a living room in one of the rooms! That would be perfect! I think the area outside is a plus!!! And the apartment is really cute!
I love your enthusiasm over apartments that would be considered closets in a lot of parts of the world. for 2k you would get a 5 room, 200sqm newly built, central apt in any of the Scandinavian capitols.
Cash I miss visiting NYC as a former Jersey Guy I still have a huge place in my heart for the city. Thanks to your channel I feel the beat of the city each video I watch. Thank You
You keep almost convincing me that these apartments are good deals. If money was no object for me, I'd pick number one and keep it to myself, I love the roof deck.
@@impagain it really isn't. I live in NY and the prices are okay as long as you avoid the popular hipster / chic areas. A 2 bedroom nice apartment around 1500sqft goes for around 2500 in a decently great neighborhood. If you don't mind living in a so-so neighborhood. You can rent an entire house backyard and everything for about $3k a month. I wouldn't want to live in a bad area, so I won't include the prices, but some people can live with that. What pisses me off are these types of videos, where every youtuber gets into these super chic areas that they can just commute to in 20 minutes by bike or faster by train. They paint a false image of the city. Also, yes, I agree housing is insane even with the prices I listed. Someone should get by with living at a Min. Wage job, hence "minimum" (whether it's more affordable housing being built and or its raising the min wage).
With the first apartment, they could replace the steep staircase with a spiral staircase. And make the closet door into a sliding door so it doesn’t take up as much room when opening it.
Replacing it as a lot of work and money. Not something can be done in a day. And some people would just use up there as storage maybe or just not go up there as often.
Spiral staircases are the total pits. Only good for the very skinny. They are horrible for getting furniture up if not impossible. And where I’m from if you put in a spiral staircase you may as well kiss goodbye any attempt at selling the home. They look good on home show makeovers and no where else.
Keep in mind that in California you can snipe a 5k large 3-4 bedroom apartment for that price and with that price you can probably rent a penthouse in Texas.
Hi there, this is the second vid I’ve seen of yours. I love your enthusiasm and I love New York, but I’m blown away by the costs! I know there’s no comparison really, but I live alone in a 3 bedroom 2 full bath house with a laundry room and 2 car garage. I bought it six years ago. I pay under $900 a month. I applaud anyone who can afford to live there!
I love the older apartment. Any place with arched doorways, a fireplace and the old fashioned tub stopper is a keeper. Plus, it has a real kitchen that isn't just a wall of appliances adjoining the living room. It has charm.
The $5300/month 2 bedroom is nice looking but not for $5300/month worth of rent and... with a small roof deck that you have to climb on to--even if you split the rent. Give me a break! Screw the neighborhood. Manhattan proper is a walking city and pretty much anyone can walk to whatever neighborhood that you would like. The only REAL saving grace (IMHO) of that unit was the bathroom. But that $2800/month one bedroom in Gramercy was the deal! Lots of space, great neighborhood, and most of all... CHARACTER!
A binge watch in, and I’ve finally nailed why the way he speaks is so interesting. If Kendal Roy was a hustling rental agent, this would be him! Great channel, subscribed.
I like housemates, outdoor spaces, and lofts, so I would definitely go with number 1. But I have a house in Hawaii and I could pay it off in 15 years with just the rent for number 2, so I think I'll keep my 4 bed 3 bath.
Yay Cash, 2 apartments today! I LOVE stairs… I’m a real sucker for a staircase in an apartment and the exposed brick so for me the first apartment was fabulous! I would use the upper area as a library/reading area and I could paint under the velux window! The 2 bedrooms downstairs were mmmmmm a little snug but I would abandon my family and just bring my cats! That way I have one for a living room and one to sleep 🤩 BUT in actual fact the second apartment was really pretty nice. Great size - that bedroom bigger than I expected as was the living area. Yes it’s a bit old school, a bit dated but it’s clean and sunny. Excellent tour today. Thanks Cash 🥰
Definitely the 1BR is a homerun. As nicely redone the first one was, in reality over $5/mo for the top floor of a walkup is a bit obscene, and it really had no common living space like a living room. The 1BR is better priced and much more homey feeling.
@@gremsen1335 Find me a place for $5K or less a year in NYC, and I would move back!!! I had a bargain rent stabilized 1BR there and paid $1100/month plus my own heat, hot water, lighting and gas for cooking, which was good for another $150-200/mo.
I think I would prefer the first one with a roommate. I like that it has an outdoor space. Plus, I hate doing dishes or having to lug laundry to a laundry mat, so those factors are a huge plus. I think I would turn the room with the small closet into a media room and use the loft as a bedroom.
How could you have a roommate if you turned the other bedroom into a media room? The loft could fit a bed but that's it. That wouldn't work. No walls to so all of the noise is right there. You'd also have to go through their ''bedroom'' to get to the outside area. That wouldn't work with 2 people.
@@wombat5252 That wouldn’t bother me to not have walls so much. Especially if the bedroom that was a media room was the primary hang out space, the noise would be confined to that room. And even though the couch and TV were in the bedroom, I could still store my clothes in the closet of that room. Might not work for everyone, but I think it could work for me
I kinda like Apartment #2 as well. The galley kitchen in Apartment #1 made me feel claustrophobic. And old fireplace mantles are a perfect place to set up a TV!
Interesting, but a world I could never live in. I own a three bedroom, two bathroom, two car garage home in a quiet neighborhood. The borough I live in is larger than the state of West Virginia, with less than 110,000 people in it. It's really nice being able to walk into the garage and drive out in a nice warm vehicle, even in the dead of winter.
@@eattravellovejoy20 So I can't watch a recommended video because I live in Alaska, not West Virginia? I'm a little more open-minded than the twits who live in NYC. I can't imagine ever wanting to live there.
@@eattravellovejoy20 It all depends on what excites you. NYC holds zero interest for me. I got to travel all over the country and all over the world and I saw and did things most people can only dream of.
Nice to see so many authentic Japanese restaurants near the 1st place, defenitely a pricey location so seems a bit small for the asking rent but the 2nd place looks a lil grimy but could be a gem after it's cleaned up!
Love the second one. I would make the living room a dinning room, and the bedroom the living room, with a daybed instead of a couch, so it doubles as the bedroom.
We live in Oklahoma. Our mini farm cost what you would pay rent for this apt in just over a year. We love the peace and quiet and the small town. Will never live in a city again.
Mine and my daughters morning routine is to watch your videos before I take her to school. We love your videos ! We are going to NYC for spring break and we are looking forward to spotting some of the restaurants you have in your videos! Love what you do and Ty !!
Oh, fun! You should definitely ask him for some dining suggestions! There's too many restaurants he says he likes in these videos to be able to narrow them down to just a few! 😂
Honestly this kitchen is missing something rather important, some place to actually prepare your food on. The whole size of the loft would ve been perfect if the owner would have taken some hints/tips from microhouse interiors.
I much rather take the 1-bedroom. The staircase for the other apartment is a nightmare! Appreciate you showing us all these homes in the freezing cold Cash!
I like the brick walls in the first apartment. But I like the fireplace/mantel and old school bathroom in the second one (that bath tub drain was amazing)! Happy Friday everyone!😊
Cash, thanks for braving the freezing temps to continue doing these awesome videos. I hear a bad snow storm is coming your way this weekend. Please stay safe and warm!
I’m from Glasgow, Scotland been watching for a while an just subscribed never been to New York or anywhere else in America but something about your videos keeps me watching X
Both are walkups (at least 5th floor). The first one is modern and unique, and it's close to the subway, Trader Joe's and Target. But the bedrooms would only accommodate single beds, the kitchen and common areas are tiny, and access to the rooftop deck is tricky. The second one is dated but has much more space. It has a real kitchen, but it lacks a dishwasher and laundry machines. The first one would definitely be off my list, and I think I'd keep shopping around.
Frank's Trattoria is the BEST Italian place in Manhattan. I'm serious. There is a quiet dining area in the back that is the absolute best place to go if you want a quiet night out with delicious food. I can't overstate how good that place is.
Nobody wants it because they can't afford it in this economy. "compared to $2700 single bed..." is utterly out of budget for many people. That's literally more than I make TOTAL in a month.
Average salary this year for NYC is $65,904 and thats already within the realm of being able to afford this location. The price of living for these places pretty much account for the higher salary bases people make in these cities.
@@Purpose4Eternity I don't know where your get your average from but I have never made even close to that in my life at any job or combination of jobs. My guess would be you are averaging high paying office jobs and leaving out teaching, service, etc. which are far far lower.
@@void2258 I mean I put specifically for NYC. It's literally the first figures you see if you Google "average salary nyc". Yes it's an average figure so there will be percentiles under it and percentiles over it. The 2700 isn't an outrageous rent figure here but neither are the salary expectations.
@@Purpose4Eternity That average is extremely inaccurate and biased towards "high end" jobs. My income has never even approached half of that and I know no one outside of lawyers who have income in that range. People working 3 jobs are likely to have closer to $30000 a year on the outside, and that's working themselves half to death. Misrepresentation of incomes in NYC is a well known and chronic issue;l if people actually made anything like what official numbers claimed people made in NYC there wouldn't be a huge poverty problem here.
@@void2258 that's not how law of averages works. You literally gave an example of why; 3 jobs totaling $30000 vs one super high paying job - assumption $250000 which would be on a top percentile. That's 4 jobs totaling $280,000 and average of... you guessed it.. close to the one I put out. Also... you Almost surpass $30000 working full time on minimum wage here in NYC. You're giving too extreme examples of poverty that seem unrealistic in a game of large numbers.
Me while being in my huge house I moved out of Chicago and moved an hour from Canada 🇨🇦 complete life style change and love every moment of it I could never live in such a small place again.
For the 2 bedroom, I'd turn one into the hangout spot/TV room (probably the one off the kitchen). The loft would be great office space, probably add a mininfridge, desk, computer, makeup table, etc. Kitchen I'd add a high table fornextra counter space and bar stools! Love it!!
5:25 Fridge handle on left, adjacent to bedroom door, causing limited access when bedroom door is closed. I would have the handle switched to the right side for much easier access.
The little door apt is great! Just having staircases in my living spaces! When one becomes depressed its relaxing to sit on about the second step going down. Sitting there relaxing and just doing nothing. But in this apt you can sit outside and breath. I like this apt. But I live in Washington State…too far to commute, oh well great show on this apt. 🥰
Looks like it is facing north. Once lived in an north-facing apartment, and it was freaking cold in the winter, and dark -- don't be fooled by the camera's exposure compensation.
I would turn bedroom into multi-functional room with murphy bed. LR into dining room/library with planter boxes outside the window for view of greenery.
Definitely the 1BR. So it isn't bright and shiny but the basic appliances are new, it's clean and there's lots of space. As for doing your own dishes, a portable dishwasher would fit in the corner, just load it up, roll it over to the sink and you're golden. As for the first place, no communal space other than the walkthrough kitchen and the bathroom. Also that washer/dryer combo takes three hours to complete a single small load. You'd be better off with a front loading washer, and standing dryer or non-venting portable dryer in a closet.
And besides the other disadvantages of the 1st … there was absolutely zero counter space to actually cook anything (even a toaster couldn’t rest anywhere!) so why would you even need a dishwasher?! Looks to me like they just made a barely one bedroom and took what should have been a living area and made it a second bedroom … so they could jack up the price marketing it as a two bed!
Geez Not only did I not live with a sink sprayer for so many years, (have one now!), but at different times I have lived without running water, even bucketing from a well. Don't miss it......but, I have lived different lifestyles
With the two prices, the one-bedroom apartment is a better deal for a bigger space even though it is older. The two-bedroom apartment has more character but for the $5.25K, you can find a bigger space with a balcony.
All I can say is you people in NY are a totally different breed of people than in Cali. Probably heartier & tougher. I would totally love it though. Less is better! It's better to have less & be able to just go where you want & not be tied down with a bunch of sh*t. Love it!
If it was just me I would put the bedroom in the area between the kitchen and bedroom in the second apartment. It is long enough to have an eating area by the kitchen. That front room would make a great living room.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, moved to California almost 2 years ago and will never look back. I love the city, but lifestyle out here is so different. Not to mention I pay $3,200 for a 2 floor 3 bedroom house with garage, pool and community amenities. Don’t get me wrong it can get pricey out here too but at least you get more for your money.
I just watched Elliot's video, poor Violet she must have been so scared 😭 but glad she perked up and enjoyed the painting and toy shop! Love the collabs!
Wow! For the price of the 1 BR, I could have rent paid for 8.5 months where I'm at now. I knew apartment prices in NYC were outrageous, but I didn't know to what extent.
Quirky and crazy sense of humor - love it. Even as a H/O your video makes me dare to dream of starting over - ok fine; i just want to decorate. Great job
Your videos are like Lay's chips... you can't watch just one! Lol They're just so addicting. I've only been to NYC once - in 2009, and I never, ever plan to live there. Still, I just can't seem to stop watching your videos! You tell yourself you're only going to watch one... the next thing you know it's 2 hours later and you have no idea how that happened! I mean, what kind of sorcery is this?!? 😂
So many cool features of that 1st one- I can’t imagine having a roommate in any of those units but I could definitely do it alone. However, I do enjoy an adult beverage now and again (more now, than again), so I’m a bit concerned about those steep steps! Also, I have 2 cats so I don’t know if I can find pet friendly. Can you mention if any of these places are pet friendly? Thanks 😊
Just as he opened the door I thought it freaks me out, especially the thought of it closing, and locking me out, then the went through, and the door clicked 😲 I'd have to have something on it so it definitely can't close 💖
That is by far my prefered new york neighborhood, right in little tokyo. fantastic place to level up your japanese language skills. nothing says heaven to me like being surrounded by japanese culture. East Village anyway lol
I love that your conspiracy theories seem to be limited to giant food corporations selling fake foods...not saying you're wrong. Nothing good can come from eating a watery Chipotle burrito. I'll take your word on the coffee from dunkin donuts. Thanks for the video! Always good stuff.
I like how you acted surprised coming through the door towards the camera that you had to place to get a shot of you going through for the “first” time
That was a wicked cool 2 BR loft...love the private deck area. $200/mo saved if you moved into the 2 BR...if you got a cool friend/roommate...go with the 2 BR loft. It's got laundry and doesn't have that wicked old school plumbing of the 1 BR....haven't seen one of those drains in over 40 years.
Take this. You mentioned your from Mass. I'm originally from Brooklyn NY but I live in Rhode Island now. Good luck to you. This apartment is spacious. You should take it.
That's not a kitchen. I'm sure airplane galleys have more counter space. That roof deck with the hobbit door isn't a big draw for me. 2nd place is much better.
Ever considered doing a recap video at the end of each week? Recap the properties you saw that week - point out the pros an cons on each - then say which one you would choose if you had to. Ask people to put which they would choose in the comments - along with the reasons why. Could be fun.
It's hilarious how new yorkers consider a small refrigerator full size. That's not a loft, that's a hallway. However, thank God for you. You are the best part of New York City.
I love the "This is tiny as fuck and totaly overpriced" vibe. I am very happy to get a 80sqm apartment in Austria for 1/5 of the first one, where i can get a 140cm wide bed into. I mean, what jobs do you need to have to pay for something like this?
@@mar97216 that's what Im saying! I live in the suburbs outside Chicago and make around 50-60k a year (thats avrg $4583 a month) and my 2 bedroom apartment is $1,200 and its a good ass size with two balconies and a storage closet in the building and 2 parking spaces. That apartment is over 5k.... my 60k a year would only be able to pay the apartment....

Friends apartment was inherited by monica and ross grandma after she died thats why everything was so unique and ross had to get his own apartment cus he was the one that made more than monica working at the national museum thats also why the apartment across was half the size
Some apartments can be a lot cheaper in NYC - but not in the best locations, unless you have rent control. I think the shows usually use that excuse for giant apartments (if they bother to have an excuse), because it's obviously not representative.
I think Monica’s apartment was rent controlled because it used to be her grandmas and it was like $300 or something like that. That place was huge for $300! Lol
I used to know the last person who rented that loft apartment, and she sent me a video of it raining really hard one time and the water just flowing into her loft from the bottom of that little door like a waterfall. The landlord refused to (edit: or was unable to) fix it, so she moved out. Plus, she was tired of paying over $4500/month on a tiny apartment that has window units in every window and really poor insulation, so it gets super cold during winter and super hot during summer without blasting the window units or the heater. Yep, sounds like your typical overpriced apartment in the city.
As soon as I saw that door to the roof, that was my immediate thought: where does the water drain to? Thanks for giving the answer. That probably explains why the floors look brand new - need to be occasionally refinished due to water damage. No thanks.
she could have fixed it or the landlord if they sealed the door but then again you would have to pay the 30 dollars for it and you would lose roof access
@@hunterbear2421 I doubt they could seal it because of fire code. That would be the only fire exit for the loft.
@@BrokeredHeart no thanks like you can even afford it anyway
I figured it would be so hot in that loft area. If I was to rent in NYC I’d have to have central air!

Full size appliance

No, i'd never want to continue to live that close to mom and dad as an adult. I'll pay the rent
The steepness of the stairs is what does it for me. No way I could go up and down those things long term without my kneecaps exploding 💥
Lord help you if you enjoy a margarita or two on the roof deck, the return trip could put you into traction😳
@@jasper3042 ha ha great point!
Check out the KneesOverToes guy for exercises to fix your knees. 👍
Since the fireplace in that second place isn't functional you could put the bed up against that and it framed it nicely and becomes the headboard.
There should def be a pole beside it because going up the stairs would be way easier.
As someone who was once obsessed with living in NYC, watching these reaffirms why Im so much happier that I chose Chicago instead.
Ah, how many times have you been shot as a result of your choice though?
Yeah.. live in cities that infringe upon your constitutional rights.
There is a reason every heavy liberal city center has a net negative population this last year. They all left and came down south where they are crushing our housing market. Houses are selling in under 3 hours site unseen. Ask me how I know..lol
@@joshuasterling2144 Personally, that's one of my favorite things about living here. It benefits me that no one knows how cool this city is & just associates it with cold & crime... I get to live in one of the nicest, cleanest, most central neighborhoods in the city for a reasonable price - no rent increases this entire pandemic. & In an economy so unstable? you can't imagine what a relief that is.
@@orangeblossoms88 that sounds cool modern new York looks like the parts of London here that we left to the African immigrants (the places are awful shitty no go zones now with trash graffiti and broken shit everywhere)
The 1 bed is definitely better than the loft, the rent is more reasonable and is much bigger, but its downside is it has no in unit laundry
Yep… NY rent prices are insane!
I live in Michigan, for $5000 a month you could rent a literal mansion here. 😂
Lol 😂 not as bad as SF trust me
Move to the UK, i pay £520 ($706) a month for a 3 bedroom semi-detached house.
@@arranstoner7300 That must be in not a great area and definitely not a big city like London or NYC
@@arranstoner7300 where are you in UK?
That first apartment...my daughter had a Malibu Barbie house bigger than that. The second apartment finally gave me a clue why NYers never wash their windows...nothing to see. Smh. But I would, definitely, choose the 2nd apartment only for the vintage touches. But it's basically another expensive hallway.
LMAOOOOO
Lmfaoooo there is nothing to see, just close the blinds/curtains.
I think what it came across as is an old style larger NYC apartment that had been cut in half to get two rents out of one space. And you were the lucky person that got the old fireplace on your side of the wall. It may have fresh paint but subdivided old apartments is still a form of slum land lording despite this guy trying to make these spaces look hip and happy. And those wires of other peoples apartments services just hanging there outside your windows reminds me of something you’d see in Mumbai or Bangkok.
If I lived in New York, I would personally choose the second one. I prefer having my own private space, and me and my husband need very little to be fully content, but one of those we have learned after roommates previously, is privacy. Beyond that we prefer to complete control over our environment when not out and about, so having to share our space wouldn't work. But I can imagine how fun it could be for others to have roommates and good times
The first place would be perfect for a couple. Use the 1st room as a living room, 2nd as the bedroom. Table in the kitchen "common space". Way too small for roommates. You're better off with the second place for yourself. Home office! Great video as always!
It’s crazy to me that people actually accept these type of awkward living conditions as normal in NYC
Ye I agree no way I could pay to live in such a tight spot. If its all i had prob wouldnt be that bad but paying for it no way.
Also note that all of this is common wall on both sides and likely up and down... crazy
Yea. Hipster millennials trying to convince themselves it’s an exciting life - while the rest of us just nod knowing yo can have fun in many cities with cheaper rents.
its crazy to me that people in africa just accept living in mud huts as normal.
It's crazy to me the people in NYC are willing to pay these sorts of prices. 2700 is 2/3rd of my salary, lol
$5K+ for an apartment that has NO counter space in the kitchen...no thanks. The 1BR was a bit better but it seemed like it still needed some TLC.
My first thought with the second apartment is I'd probably flip the living room & bedroom. Sleep in the smaller skinny place and have your actual wardrobe in that huge closet and set up a great hangout room in the back. That way you have some distance from the street & darkness for sleeping and the sunlight for hanging out.
Hello. The first one seems to be super narrow. For safety reasons you need to stay slim. You would need to invest on foldable furniture. The second place the owner only gave it minimal repair/update. That says a lot on the owners cheapest. It is wider and spacious.
you dont have money for food anyway so you stay slim np
Just moved in NYC and your videos about NY apartments/rentals are really good and informative! Would love to see more! Def worthy of a sub! Thanks!
Definitely pick the 1 bedroom. The 2 bedroom is nicer with laundry but I can't imagine spending so much to share that small space with someone else.
I used to think that these prices were insane and only in New York, but now having lived in Marin county (10 miles north of SF) I can say that yes 2750 for a 1 bedroom is pretty accurate. Waiting for this storm to pass one day…
I don’t require (or want) a roommate so, one of those bedrooms would definitely use as a living room. The “Common Space” you referred to looks more like a pass-through. It’s definitely too small for a living room. I love exposed brick and the general unusual setup especially that weird little door... It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. The second apartment is definitely better. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That "common space" is what all NYC realtors call a hallway
I keep hoping he's going to open one of those secret doors and find Narnia! 😂
Definitely! He can make a living room in one of the rooms! That would be perfect! I think the area outside is a plus!!! And the apartment is really cute!
I love New York loft apartments , their so small and cozy , and … i just love them !
I love your enthusiasm over apartments that would be considered closets in a lot of parts of the world. for 2k you would get a 5 room, 200sqm newly built, central apt in any of the Scandinavian capitols.
Always amazing seeing people living in NY fawning over $80k/mo for the bottom bunk in a storage closet.
Check living space in Japan!
Sure, after you waited 10+ years in the queue-system to actually get one...
@Sylvie Pilon Hong Kong got most places bear. People are literally living in closets and boxes (Sleep pods).
No way you'll get that in Copenhagen that's for sure
You are my newest Happy Accident and now I can't stop watching your videos! Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful finds in NYC!
Cash I miss visiting NYC as a former Jersey Guy I still have a huge place in my heart for the city. Thanks to your channel I feel the beat of the city each video I watch. Thank You
You keep almost convincing me that these apartments are good deals. If money was no object for me, I'd pick number one and keep it to myself, I love the roof deck.
Same. But my current studio apartment is £310/month with bills, so one month there is a year here 😂
@@daniellachanelle4142 right?? My (small) 4 bed townhouse is still less than $1k/month 😅
@@impagain it really isn't. I live in NY and the prices are okay as long as you avoid the popular hipster / chic areas. A 2 bedroom nice apartment around 1500sqft goes for around 2500 in a decently great neighborhood. If you don't mind living in a so-so neighborhood. You can rent an entire house backyard and everything for about $3k a month. I wouldn't want to live in a bad area, so I won't include the prices, but some people can live with that.
What pisses me off are these types of videos, where every youtuber gets into these super chic areas that they can just commute to in 20 minutes by bike or faster by train. They paint a false image of the city. Also, yes, I agree housing is insane even with the prices I listed. Someone should get by with living at a Min. Wage job, hence "minimum" (whether it's more affordable housing being built and or its raising the min wage).
@@vokay agreed. Like I said, I'm almost convinced cuz he's a good salesman, and then I come back to reality and realize no way is that reasonable xD
Daniella Chanelle where do you live??
With the first apartment, they could replace the steep staircase with a spiral staircase. And make the closet door into a sliding door so it doesn’t take up as much room when opening it.
Replacing it as a lot of work and money. Not something can be done in a day. And some people would just use up there as storage maybe or just not go up there as often.
Thats cost money & work. That requires some one giving a shit too 😆
Spiral staircases are the total pits. Only good for the very skinny. They are horrible for getting furniture up if not impossible. And where I’m from if you put in a spiral staircase you may as well kiss goodbye any attempt at selling the home. They look good on home show makeovers and no where else.
Keep in mind that in California you can snipe a 5k large 3-4 bedroom apartment for that price and with that price you can probably rent a penthouse in Texas.
Just can't believe someone'd pay that much for that loft. Keep it up, Cash, don't freeze!
Hi there, this is the second vid I’ve seen of yours. I love your enthusiasm and I love New York, but I’m blown away by the costs! I know there’s no comparison really, but I live alone in a 3 bedroom 2 full bath house with a laundry room and 2 car garage. I bought it six years ago. I pay under $900 a month. I applaud anyone who can afford to live there!
I love the older apartment. Any place with arched doorways, a fireplace and the old fashioned tub stopper is a keeper. Plus, it has a real kitchen that isn't just a wall of appliances adjoining the living room. It has charm.
We have an apartment thats over 100 years old mostly everything is original woodwork and glass
@@Chronically_JBoo It must be gorgeous. My house is 102 and I love it even though it's a lot of work.
Yup a lovely hallway where a bigger apartment has been subdivided and you luckily got the fireplace side.
As someone who lives in the sticks the prices are absolutely mind blowing. For those prices your talking a large 4 bedroom house on 20 acers of land.
The $5300/month 2 bedroom is nice looking but not for $5300/month worth of rent and... with a small roof deck that you have to climb on to--even if you split the rent. Give me a break! Screw the neighborhood. Manhattan proper is a walking city and pretty much anyone can walk to whatever neighborhood that you would like. The only REAL saving grace (IMHO) of that unit was the bathroom. But that $2800/month one bedroom in Gramercy was the deal! Lots of space, great neighborhood, and most of all... CHARACTER!
A binge watch in, and I’ve finally nailed why the way he speaks is so interesting. If Kendal Roy was a hustling rental agent, this would be him! Great channel, subscribed.
I like housemates, outdoor spaces, and lofts, so I would definitely go with number 1. But I have a house in Hawaii and I could pay it off in 15 years with just the rent for number 2, so I think I'll keep my 4 bed 3 bath.
So you like roommates...? Have a house in Hawaii you say...? 4 bed 3 bath you say...?
We should switch places 😂
I hate sharing and want a large space just for myself
Im Sure alot of people would want to live there. Its more about PRICING. Cause Rent in NYC is just WAY WAY WAY to High. by like 1,000% to high.
Yay Cash, 2 apartments today!
I LOVE stairs… I’m a real sucker for a staircase in an apartment and the exposed brick so for me the first apartment was fabulous! I would use the upper area as a library/reading area and I could paint under the velux window!
The 2 bedrooms downstairs were mmmmmm a little snug but I would abandon my family and just bring my cats! That way I have one for a living room and one to sleep 🤩
BUT in actual fact the second apartment was really pretty nice. Great size - that bedroom bigger than I expected as was the living area. Yes it’s a bit old school, a bit dated but it’s clean and sunny.
Excellent tour today. Thanks Cash 🥰
That single apartment with the fire place in it put the TV on top of it! Perfect!
Definitely the 1BR is a homerun. As nicely redone the first one was, in reality over $5/mo for the top floor of a walkup is a bit obscene, and it really had no common living space like a living room.
The 1BR is better priced and much more homey feeling.
And the first one had literally ZERO counter space!
$5/month?
@@mjsmit4841 $5K...typo, lol
@@fafalina56 5000 dollars.. per month? I thought it would be per year.
@@gremsen1335 Find me a place for $5K or less a year in NYC, and I would move back!!! I had a bargain rent stabilized 1BR there and paid $1100/month plus my own heat, hot water, lighting and gas for cooking, which was good for another $150-200/mo.
I think I would prefer the first one with a roommate. I like that it has an outdoor space. Plus, I hate doing dishes or having to lug laundry to a laundry mat, so those factors are a huge plus. I think I would turn the room with the small closet into a media room and use the loft as a bedroom.
How could you have a roommate if you turned the other bedroom into a media room? The loft could fit a bed but that's it. That wouldn't work. No walls to so all of the noise is right there. You'd also have to go through their ''bedroom'' to get to the outside area. That wouldn't work with 2 people.
@@wombat5252 That wouldn’t bother me to not have walls so much. Especially if the bedroom that was a media room was the primary hang out space, the noise would be confined to that room. And even though the couch and TV were in the bedroom, I could still store my clothes in the closet of that room. Might not work for everyone, but I think it could work for me
I kinda like Apartment #2 as well. The galley kitchen in Apartment #1 made me feel claustrophobic. And old fireplace mantles are a perfect place to set up a TV!
Interesting, but a world I could never live in. I own a three bedroom, two bathroom, two car garage home in a quiet neighborhood. The borough I live in is larger than the state of West Virginia, with less than 110,000 people in it. It's really nice being able to walk into the garage and drive out in a nice warm vehicle, even in the dead of winter.
Cool. Do you have a job and if so, how long is your commute?
And why are you watching a video about New York City if you are so into West Virginia suburbs?
@@eattravellovejoy20 So I can't watch a recommended video because I live in Alaska, not West Virginia? I'm a little more open-minded than the twits who live in NYC. I can't imagine ever wanting to live there.
@@AlaskaErik Have fun with yourself. You just bad mouthed the most exciting city in the world. Get yourself together. hahahah
@@eattravellovejoy20 It all depends on what excites you. NYC holds zero interest for me. I got to travel all over the country and all over the world and I saw and did things most people can only dream of.
Nice to see so many authentic Japanese restaurants near the 1st place, defenitely a pricey location so seems a bit small for the asking rent but the 2nd place looks a lil grimy but could be a gem after it's cleaned up!
Fascinating. I've lived coastal California my entire life, in a single family home. I think I'll stay here. 😉
Thanks again for my morning laugh! Stay safe this weekend- crazy weather coming..
Be ready and be safe.
Hey so I'm from Virginia and me and my friends love your video but my only request is could drop a link to show us where these places are
Love the second one. I would make the living room a dinning room, and the bedroom the living room, with a daybed instead of a couch, so it doubles as the bedroom.
You'd turn a perfectly good and spacious one bedroom into a tight studio? Lol
We live in Oklahoma. Our mini farm cost what you would pay rent for this apt in just over a year. We love the peace and quiet and the small town. Will never live in a city again.
Where in Oklahoma you think is the best I'm trying to move n study near the six flags
Mine and my daughters morning routine is to watch your videos before I take her to school. We love your videos ! We are going to NYC for spring break and we are looking forward to spotting some of the restaurants you have in your videos! Love what you do and Ty !!
Oh, fun! You should definitely ask him for some dining suggestions! There's too many restaurants he says he likes in these videos to be able to narrow them down to just a few! 😂
Be careful! The crime rate in NYC has gone up exponentially & is definitely not safe in any part of the city.
Honestly this kitchen is missing something rather important, some place to actually prepare your food on. The whole size of the loft would ve been perfect if the owner would have taken some hints/tips from microhouse interiors.
I much rather take the 1-bedroom. The staircase for the other apartment is a nightmare! Appreciate you showing us all these homes in the freezing cold Cash!
Genuinely love this apartment. Might be the nicest one I’ve seen in a video for nyc
I like the brick walls in the first apartment. But I like the fireplace/mantel and old school bathroom in the second one (that bath tub drain was amazing)! Happy Friday everyone!😊
When you live in Texas it’s very hard to be satisfied with the size of all these apartments but it’s still interesting looking at them
Cash, thanks for braving the freezing temps to continue doing these awesome videos. I hear a bad snow storm is coming your way this weekend. Please stay safe and warm!
I’m from Glasgow, Scotland been watching for a while an just subscribed never been to New York or anywhere else in America but something about your videos keeps me watching X
Both are walkups (at least 5th floor). The first one is modern and unique, and it's close to the subway, Trader Joe's and Target. But the bedrooms would only accommodate single beds, the kitchen and common areas are tiny, and access to the rooftop deck is tricky. The second one is dated but has much more space. It has a real kitchen, but it lacks a dishwasher and laundry machines. The first one would definitely be off my list, and I think I'd keep shopping around.
'... the bedrooms would only accommodate single beds ...'. A UK standard double (4'6'' x 6'3'') wouldn't leave room for much else.
@@eattherich9215 Exactly! NYC denizens love their queen-sized beds, and one of those would fill the room!
Frank's Trattoria is the BEST Italian place in Manhattan. I'm serious. There is a quiet dining area in the back that is the absolute best place to go if you want a quiet night out with delicious food. I can't overstate how good that place is.
Nobody wants it because they can't afford it in this economy. "compared to $2700 single bed..." is utterly out of budget for many people. That's literally more than I make TOTAL in a month.
Average salary this year for NYC is $65,904 and thats already within the realm of being able to afford this location. The price of living for these places pretty much account for the higher salary bases people make in these cities.
@@Purpose4Eternity I don't know where your get your average from but I have never made even close to that in my life at any job or combination of jobs. My guess would be you are averaging high paying office jobs and leaving out teaching, service, etc. which are far far lower.
@@void2258 I mean I put specifically for NYC. It's literally the first figures you see if you Google "average salary nyc". Yes it's an average figure so there will be percentiles under it and percentiles over it. The 2700 isn't an outrageous rent figure here but neither are the salary expectations.
@@Purpose4Eternity That average is extremely inaccurate and biased towards "high end" jobs. My income has never even approached half of that and I know no one outside of lawyers who have income in that range. People working 3 jobs are likely to have closer to $30000 a year on the outside, and that's working themselves half to death. Misrepresentation of incomes in NYC is a well known and chronic issue;l if people actually made anything like what official numbers claimed people made in NYC there wouldn't be a huge poverty problem here.
@@void2258 that's not how law of averages works. You literally gave an example of why; 3 jobs totaling $30000 vs one super high paying job - assumption $250000 which would be on a top percentile. That's 4 jobs totaling $280,000 and average of... you guessed it.. close to the one I put out.
Also... you Almost surpass $30000 working full time on minimum wage here in NYC. You're giving too extreme examples of poverty that seem unrealistic in a game of large numbers.
Me while being in my huge house I moved out of Chicago and moved an hour from Canada 🇨🇦 complete life style change and love every moment of it I could never live in such a small place again.
For the 2 bedroom, I'd turn one into the hangout spot/TV room (probably the one off the kitchen). The loft would be great office space, probably add a mininfridge, desk, computer, makeup table, etc. Kitchen I'd add a high table fornextra counter space and bar stools! Love it!!
5:25 Fridge handle on left, adjacent to bedroom door, causing limited access when bedroom door is closed. I would have the handle switched to the right side for much easier access.
Keep em coming Cash! Hope you're doing well!
The little door apt is great! Just having staircases in my living spaces! When one becomes depressed its relaxing to sit on about the second step going down. Sitting there relaxing and just doing nothing. But in this apt you can sit outside and breath. I like this apt. But I live in Washington State…too far to commute, oh well great show on this apt. 🥰
Looks like it is facing north. Once lived in an north-facing apartment, and it was freaking cold in the winter, and dark -- don't be fooled by the camera's exposure compensation.
I would turn bedroom into multi-functional room with murphy bed.
LR into dining room/library with planter boxes outside the window for view of greenery.
Definitely the 1BR. So it isn't bright and shiny but the basic appliances are new, it's clean and there's lots of space. As for doing your own dishes, a portable dishwasher would fit in the corner, just load it up, roll it over to the sink and you're golden. As for the first place, no communal space other than the walkthrough kitchen and the bathroom. Also that washer/dryer combo takes three hours to complete a single small load. You'd be better off with a front loading washer, and standing dryer or non-venting portable dryer in a closet.
And besides the other disadvantages of the 1st … there was absolutely zero counter space to actually cook anything (even a toaster couldn’t rest anywhere!) so why would you even need a dishwasher?! Looks to me like they just made a barely one bedroom and took what should have been a living area and made it a second bedroom … so they could jack up the price marketing it as a two bed!
The second one looks nice. But, I think I go with number 1, that balcony is so great!
You had me at "Hobbit door leading to an outdoor space."
But that kitchen... no counter space, not a lot of storage, no sink sprayer...
Geez Not only did I not live with a sink sprayer for so many years, (have one now!), but at different times I have lived without running water, even bucketing from a well. Don't miss it......but, I have lived different lifestyles
First place even if you have to find a roommate. Lived in NYC for awhile and laundry plus a private roof space cannot be beat.
With the two prices, the one-bedroom apartment is a better deal for a bigger space even though it is older. The two-bedroom apartment has more character but for the $5.25K, you can find a bigger space with a balcony.
All I can say is you people in NY are a totally different breed of people than in Cali. Probably heartier & tougher. I would totally love it though. Less is better! It's better to have less & be able to just go where you want & not be tied down with a bunch of sh*t. Love it!
If it was just me I would put the bedroom in the area between the kitchen and bedroom in the second apartment. It is long enough to have an eating area by the kitchen. That front room would make a great living room.
Same!
Born and raised in Brooklyn, moved to California almost 2 years ago and will never look back. I love the city, but lifestyle out here is so different. Not to mention I pay $3,200 for a 2 floor 3 bedroom house with garage, pool and community amenities. Don’t get me wrong it can get pricey out here too but at least you get more for your money.
I just watched Elliot's video, poor Violet she must have been so scared 😭 but glad she perked up and enjoyed the painting and toy shop! Love the collabs!
I saw that too, poor Violet.😔
Your face at the 3:37 mark was priceless ♡
As someone that left nyc after living their all my life…I think I finally understand Stockholm syndrome.
Wow! For the price of the 1 BR, I could have rent paid for 8.5 months where I'm at now. I knew apartment prices in NYC were outrageous, but I didn't know to what extent.
The first one, no counter space in kitchen, not even a place to put coffee cup down, yuk.
Quirky and crazy sense of humor - love it. Even as a H/O your video makes me dare to dream of starting over - ok fine; i just want to decorate. Great job
Your videos are like Lay's chips... you can't watch just one! Lol
They're just so addicting. I've only been to NYC once - in 2009, and I never, ever plan to live there. Still, I just can't seem to stop watching your videos! You tell yourself you're only going to watch one... the next thing you know it's 2 hours later and you have no idea how that happened! I mean, what kind of sorcery is this?!? 😂
He's always dissing Dunkin Dounuts😆
I like the first one.. lots of light helps make it feel larger than it is
So many cool features of that 1st one- I can’t imagine having a roommate in any of those units but I could definitely do it alone. However, I do enjoy an adult beverage now and again (more now, than again), so I’m a bit concerned about those steep steps! Also, I have 2 cats so I don’t know if I can find pet friendly. Can you mention if any of these places are pet friendly? Thanks 😊
Just as he opened the door I thought it freaks me out, especially the thought of it closing, and locking me out, then the went through, and the door clicked 😲 I'd have to have something on it so it definitely can't close 💖
That is by far my prefered new york neighborhood, right in little tokyo. fantastic place to level up your japanese language skills. nothing says heaven to me like being surrounded by japanese culture. East Village anyway lol
I have always dreamed of living in NYC, pipe dream but I LOVE these videos!
I love that your conspiracy theories seem to be limited to giant food corporations selling fake foods...not saying you're wrong. Nothing good can come from eating a watery Chipotle burrito. I'll take your word on the coffee from dunkin donuts. Thanks for the video! Always good stuff.
I like how you acted surprised coming through the door towards the camera that you had to place to get a shot of you going through for the “first” time
That was a wicked cool 2 BR loft...love the private deck area. $200/mo saved if you moved into the 2 BR...if you got a cool friend/roommate...go with the 2 BR loft. It's got laundry and doesn't have that wicked old school plumbing of the 1 BR....haven't seen one of those drains in over 40 years.
Take this. You mentioned your from Mass. I'm originally from Brooklyn NY but I live in Rhode Island now. Good luck to you. This apartment is spacious. You should take it.
That's not a kitchen. I'm sure airplane galleys have more counter space. That roof deck with the hobbit door isn't a big draw for me. 2nd place is much better.
I prefer the first one because of the space in the roof and the bathroom. I also like stairs .
Ever considered doing a recap video at the end of each week? Recap the properties you saw that week - point out the pros an cons on each - then say which one you would choose if you had to. Ask people to put which they would choose in the comments - along with the reasons why. Could be fun.
It's hilarious how new yorkers consider a small refrigerator full size.
That's not a loft, that's a hallway.
However, thank God for you.
You are the best part of New York City.
I love the "This is tiny as fuck and totaly overpriced" vibe. I am very happy to get a 80sqm apartment in Austria for 1/5 of the first one, where i can get a 140cm wide bed into. I mean, what jobs do you need to have to pay for something like this?
Im wondering the same. How much pay monthly would you need to be able to pay this and also live your life.
@@mar97216 that's what Im saying! I live in the suburbs outside Chicago and make around 50-60k a year (thats avrg $4583 a month) and my 2 bedroom apartment is $1,200 and its a good ass size with two balconies and a storage closet in the building and 2 parking spaces.
