Clairfication: I take the subway and Citi bike a lot during the day! Just don't like biking among cars at night time / don’t take the subway alone at night 😊 What kinda of neighborhood would you like to live in? 🤔 Thanks for watching turtle gang 🐢
Yes it is like the evolution of a Californian in NYC. Even your demeanor seems to have turned up a couple of degrees on the frequency level. Still very chill but clearly acclimating well. (Im currently trying to do this with out moving to NYC thats why I see it). Congrats on keeping Amazing view place!! I have never seen anything like it. I grew up in Ca and moved out east when I was young. It was a culture shock of course but I remember thinking snow was beautiful. .. now not so much 😆 Looking forward to seeing your continued acclimation. Liked Sub'd & Notified! oh and call your mom (i dont know her, im just a mom) ((with kids all over the country))
can i just say i absolutely LOVE how this was filmed? the way you kept switching the spots where you filmed and the clear, structured yet casual narration was so satisfying to watch! it also helps that i love your sense of humor haha
💯 agree with your comment! Was gonna say the exact same thing! Looks like ya worked ya booty off to shoot this Taylor and it was such a great watch! Really enjoy your content and ya vibe 😉
As a real estate agent in Manhattan, I have to say this was the best real estate video I've see from a consumer. Very detailed and informative. I watched from start to finish. I'm impressed.
I work under a landlord in Manhattan and I agree as well, the 1.5% should kick in 6 month's into your new lease just so you know. Starting Oct 1st,2022 it will be 3.25% for 1 and 5% for 2 year leases. There's more information that can benefit you if you plan on staying in NYC but it's a learning process.
Hi Taylor :）Motivated by your videos, I finally got offers from 3 of big4 as new grad ! Thanks always for inspiring and enjoyable contents🐣Love from Japan🗾
So glad you’re able to renew! Your place is beautiful. 😍 My fiancé and I are apartment hunting right now and it’s brutal. We’ve applied for two places now and have had someone chosen over us, we’ve made appointments to see multiple places and then have had the broker cancel before we even get there because it’s been taken, and there’s hardly anything available in our price range in our current neighborhood. 😬
Im so glad you kept your apartment, it’s beautiful! You don’t have to spend so much on Ubers because the subway takes you everywhere for $2.75. If you don’t feel very comfortable taking the train because you are afraid to get lost just ask anyone and they will help you. It’s more convenient, cheaper and better for the environment!
This is one of the better breakdowns on the current rental market I've seen so I'll def be pointing some friends over here who are on the hunt after losing their Covid deals. I am also lucky enough to be in a rent stabilized apartment and boy oh boy does that make a huge difference. I also gotta say that there is something pretty cool about living in a super old building even if that means you have to insulate the pipes!
When I was moving here, I had the SAME EXACT problem lol. Living near Hudson Yards definitely removes the neighborly feel that you can find in places like West Village but you literally can't beat a NEW building with INCREDIBLE views... that's why I chose to move near Hudson Yards and tbh... traveling down to East Village or around there to go out isn't that bad for me.
@@harshjain2673 Honestly bro, if you have to work in HY then I would just live there. I work in midtown and I hate commuting so living close to your daily commute is an upside.
Two things that made me subscribed your channel number one would obviously be my love for NYC and second one is the charisma of your personality. I wanna listen more from you about NYC.
Two things that stood out to me when considered together were your love of walkability and your seeming to view New York City as a good place for this season of life but not for raising a family. Those two spheres may be more related than you might think. If you’re interested, the urbanist TH-cam channel Not Just Bikes just recently put out a video about the benefits of raising kids in walkable areas. Granted, just this comment alone makes a ton of assumptions that may or may not be warranted, but just food for thought.
I hear ya! It's more so that I want a big yard with dogs and such (ideally somewhere warm) by the time I have a family 😊 NY definitely has it upsides too though
That makes sense; that combination of things is definitely hard to come by in NYC. Even if you were to live somewhere like Forest Hills or something, you would still have to deal with the cold weather for a majority of the year. So I get it.
Congrats on renewing your lease. Loved the suspense in the video. Rent regulation is so clutch - I live in the outer boroughs and really appreciate it.
I literally just watched your video on your beautiful apartment, and thank God you are not moving and was able to renew the lease. That is a lot of work/renovations down the drain if you guys had to move already. Glad the new lease worked out for you, cause the freaking view is just AMAZE BALLS!!!!
Hi Taylor! I enjoy watching your videos most especially the New York contents you make. As a teen, thank you for being a motivation, and watching you all the time makes me inspired towards succeeding in my dream which is to travel to New York in the future when I am secured financially. Continue to persuade other people just like me. Also big fan from the Philippines❤️🇵🇭
Question! Because it seems like we all loved the format of this video (the changing locations without interrupting the flow)... did you write out a general script for this and then read/recite the whole thing in each location and splice together your favorites? Or did you only say certain things in certain locations, all planned out ahead of time? I'm loving watching you get more comfortable on here with your editing style! 🥰
I wonder how you script the videos filming different parts in different scenarios. It's genius cause it makes the videos so much cooler and dynamical, but it must take some good organization right? haha glad you're staying there for longer!
Ms. Taylor I have no idea how you do it, maybe it's your voice, but my 3 year old sits and watches your videos and it gives me time to actually work. Thank you for your videos, if only for saving my sanity.
Hi! I wanted to say that I LOVE the beginning shot of you in front of your window. How do you get that shot without yourself being underexposed? Let me know if you have any tips!
Omg, the editinggggg thoo! 🙌 Yay! Thank goodness for rent stabilization! Its funny you got that email on April 1st because my initial thought would have been, "Is this an April Fools Joke?" haha! So happy you ended up keeping the view! ❤
It's only great for her, but screws over everyone else my making the supply shortage worse. The best rent stabilization is just build enough housing for everyone so prices are not bid up
seems like a decent deal tbh. crazy that sharing a 4k/mo apt is a deal but if the pay can cover it, it does seem like the place to be in ur mid/late 20s in your line to work
Not to mention that moving is such a pain in NYC so even if your rent went up more than 1.5% it still may be worth staying! WV is always the dream but you can still get a lot of the walkability in areas nearby
Congrats on the decision! I loved living in Astoria (Queens). Super walkable and cute, great views from the Park, and easy access to Manhattan via subway or bus. It’s not as trendy as some Manhattan neighborhoods, but I was super happy there. Plus, the price tag was pretty great.
Im sorry for intruding, but the apartment was in Manhattan or Queens? The apartment is amaaazing and if you decide to ever leave let me know, a rent stability is all I dream of lol
Algorithms on you tube appear to have changed considerably recently and a lot of stuff that probably wouldn’t normally have me scrambling with haste to watch are popping up .. it’s been a case of give it a pop you may like it . Have to say absolutely love your content and presentation style , there’s a vibrancy and natural energy that’s infectious and very enjoyable . It’s a like and subscribe from me …
Love the decision. Your apartment is fantastic. Even despite the location, you'll never beat those views! Love the editing style. The varied locations is something you don't see on TH-cam as often as the jump cuts and it looked amazing in this one!
Wow, it's interesting fact that rental price increased on 14% since pre-pandemic. Because according to google results cumulative USD inflation since 2019 was exactly around 14%!
Am continuing to work my way through your amazing + fun videos 💛 and just wanted to add that your videos are my #1 go to when life gets stressful (and this year has been a bit stressful/crazy in general), so thank you for providing me with this wonderful + uplifting escape.💛😊
I really enjoyed your video!!! I’m Japanese and I’ve been NYC last months for my trip. I can understand why NYC apartments are so expensive because every place is amazing and beautiful😂😂 I hope I will live NYC city in the future.
Hi Taylor :) I am also working from home and I can totally understand you arguments for staying in your apartment. I think my choice would be the same if I had to do it. As you say, especially the big windows and the sunlight are important if you sit on your desk the most of your time :)
You should live in the UWS, we have good subway lines, buses, quiet and more family oriented areas, close to central park, riverside park, and yea you can get anywhere in the city from 1 subway.
Wow!!! Look at you 😱 I've watched you since your Graham stephan appearance and had no idea one of your vids reached a mil! You're really carving out your own place here on TH-cam!
Was hoping you were moving to Brooklyn, just so you could say your sponsor was Brooklyn.. in.. Also I feel like you lowkey have a good singing voice lol
First I really enjoy your site . I’m Proof of your sites diversity. I’m a retired police officer also a fire captain and until recently a Medic. Not your typical subscriber. I love the way you present your subjects I’m also surprised that I’m learning about consulting, money management ,and The brighter side of life and travel. The only thing we have in common is our fathers . Dad flew P-51 s in WW 2 out of Debden England 8th Air Force So l’m an Aviation fan too . Tell your father that I think that the C130 is a sweet ride I was in a couple . Thank you for proving you can teach an old dog new tricks .
You made the smart decision Taylor and what a steal. That view though - you can't not not stay put (yikes, hope I didn't mess up the double negative). Good luck and enjoy - you are ever so lucky to have what you have - and thus, you earned it .
Good deal at the time of this video. Crazy how prices have gone up everywhere. I have a vacation condo in Orange Beach, AL. In 2014 I bought a 900 sq ft condo 2/2 br/ bath on a bay with a great view of the water. With 2 car parking underneath. Now they are selling 3 times what I paid. Of course property taxes and insurance have gone out the roof.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing the deal you got living in the city with the COVID discount, now rent controlled! I also look out a big window when on my laptop at my desk.
@@TaylorBell We have a house in Tampa, FL, but we are older. We took a cruise from Tampa, we got off in NYC, stayed a hilton garden inn near Penn Station/Moynihan Train Hall. We walked to Central park a couple of days, did top of the rock. Nice view. Also MOMA, got a T-shirt, van gough missing ear. Another day, we went to Hudson Yards, saw the vessel. The wind at Hudson Yards was impressive.
What about where do you do the laundry? Does your unit have washer/dryer, or do you have a central room, or what amenities? Is there a small workout room? What about a rooftop/observation lounge? I'm sure that your views are impressive. Thank you for sharing.
As someone who works fully remote from Ohio, I pay $1,400 in Columbus for a 2 bd, 2 bath, 1100sqft and use one bedroom for an office. NYC prices are insane haha.
Loved your thought process. I'm in Greenwich Village in a place with a tiny balcony and a lot of light but there's definitely a price to pay for living downtown.
Aw thanks Anna! Ooh very lovely area, the balcony and a lot of light really makes a difference I'm sure. I can see myself there near you in a couple years 😊
@Anna Sabino Aw thank youuu! I bike down the WSH almost every day and I looove it. It's just weaving in the city streets themselves to get to the LES that I don't like doing at night 😩
Couple quick questions for you Taylor ... 1) how long is your lease renewal for? 2) what floor is your apartment on? When you showed views looking down it looked like you're 50 or more floors up!
You have a beautiful apartment and I enjoyed your video as always! I was reminiscing about living and working in NYC. I do love West Village, but can’t beat midtown west luxury, prices and views! I loved on E 108th so Harlem but right across from the Central Park and our last year we lived in a lovely building in FiDi, loved being a short ferry ride away from Dumbo!
Yeah, I figured Miss Turtle was headed for a pond over in the Village or Chelsea. Have you ever considered Brooklyn? I do get that It is tough to beat the midtown views. I love how you can see billionaires row and the Hudson river at the same time! Nice job on the video. The audio sounds great and as always I love your montage scenes!
Aw thank you so much!! A friend of mine gave me a really nice tour of Williamsburg last week and I loved it. I think I’ll be in Manhattan for as long as I live in NY though 😊 and thank you again!!
Hey! Taylor I really really really addicted to your vlogs so so so so much and your videos are truly truly truly helpful to me in life you inspired me so so so so much and I will support you till end🥺😭💖🌸
Thanks so much!! It's rent stabilized for as long as I have the lease 😊 The % increase will change year to year, but it will always be a reasonable increase (1-4%) and nothing like 20-40% thank god
Kudos to you! - You are not only very smart but extremely likable and your videos are definitely amazing - I look forward to every new video you publish
Hey Taylor, I think you should really consider buying your own home when your lease ends You might be able to continue renting out the other units to produce consistent cash-flow if you purchase a multi-family, and you'll be able to tap enjoy the appreciation of the property over time!
Thanks for the vids and info Taylor! Starting my MBA next month and hoping it leads to consulting in NYC as well. Would you ever consider doing a Q&A episode, live or otherwise? Take care!
Aw thank you, and congrats!! 🎉 That's awesome. Yes for sure, I'll be filming one this week answering the questions people submitted on my Insta 😊 Thanks for watching!
Hey good news. I love that your were able to keep it and a such great price. The view is so empowering and comforting. I really love natural light. Some people are like negative, always predicting doom. I believe that one should prepare, but no reason to go telling negative stuff to people.
I'm looking into current / historical rent in SF right now and it's the same level of ridiculous pricing. Apparently there are more deals between October and February (renting offseason?) so I'm hoping that happens before I make my move. Out of curiosity, what month did you re-sign / extend during?
Great content as always! It’s nice living with roommate split the cost of monthly and have amazing views. If I could live in NY I would aim for upper east side or west village. But that is a dream for sure!
As someone who also works from home, and also lives “far from the action,” I totally feel you on having a great view. It’s one of the things that can make a living situation bearable. My current view sucks. Can’t wait to move away from here. 😭
Without revealing much, The 2 apartments (run by the same mgmt company) that are next to each other are both rent stabilized. subways are a walk but the amenities kind of make up for it
@@allthehui It's typically indicated in your rental agreement. My place has a couple units dedicated to low income housing and is classified as a luxury apartment. To know if you're specific unit is rent stabilized you might have to call the housing dept
Congrats on getting another amazing deal on your apartment. I’m moving to the Corinthian in Murray Hill next month, and will be paying 2125 in rent for a similar 1br flex. Your views definitely beat mine though haha
Clairfication: I take the subway and Citi bike a lot during the day! Just don't like biking among cars at night time / don’t take the subway alone at night 😊
What kinda of neighborhood would you like to live in? 🤔 Thanks for watching turtle gang 🐢
You're creative keep going✨✨✨✨✨..
Sender: your brother (Baraa) from Palestine
🇵🇸🇺🇸
Near time square
Midtown
hudson sq! if not maybe LIC or Williamsburg
Safe neighborhood...
Life is a bowl of cherries enjoy (some my be chocolate covered) Oh so sweet...
Really liked how you switched up the location constantly and still made the video flow so well. That can’t be easy. Great job!
Aw thank you for noticing!! Glad you enjoyed, thank you 😊
Yes it is like the evolution of a Californian in NYC. Even your demeanor seems to have turned up a couple of degrees on the frequency level. Still very chill but clearly acclimating well. (Im currently trying to do this with out moving to NYC thats why I see it).

Looking forward to seeing your continued acclimation.

oh and call your mom (i dont know her, im just a mom) ((with kids all over the country))
Can i ask where are these apartments located I love this view Can you describe its location for me in detail
She makes 120k+ a year. How can rent price be a problem?

So glad you’re able to renew! Your place is beautiful. 😍 My fiancé and I are apartment hunting right now and it’s brutal. We’ve applied for two places now and have had someone chosen over us, we’ve made appointments to see multiple places and then have had the broker cancel before we even get there because it’s been taken, and there’s hardly anything available in our price range in our current neighborhood. 😬
Thank you Hannah!! Ahhh I know it can be such a tough process 😩 Best of luck finding your dream spot, it'll come along!
Im so glad you kept your apartment, it’s beautiful! You don’t have to spend so much on Ubers because the subway takes you everywhere for $2.75. If you don’t feel very comfortable taking the train because you are afraid to get lost just ask anyone and they will help you. It’s more convenient, cheaper and better for the environment!
Thank you!! I use it during the day but won't take it late at night, I should've mentioned that
Yeah subway it sketchy after evening rush hour
This is one of the better breakdowns on the current rental market I've seen so I'll def be pointing some friends over here who are on the hunt after losing their Covid deals. I am also lucky enough to be in a rent stabilized apartment and boy oh boy does that make a huge difference. I also gotta say that there is something pretty cool about living in a super old building even if that means you have to insulate the pipes!
Yay thank you! Tell me about it, so lucky to have the rent stabilization

So true, such real pros and cons!!

You cannot beat a brand new building with amenities and views!
Two things that made me subscribed your channel
number one would obviously be my love for NYC and second one is the charisma of your personality.

This is one of the coolest comments I’ve received. I read it to my parents as well. Just so cool 😊 thanks so much for watching and being here!
And the P51 is of course a family favorite in my household
You made the smart decision Taylor and what a steal. That view though - you can't not not stay put (yikes, hope I didn't mess up the double negative). Good luck and enjoy - you are ever so lucky to have what you have - and thus, you earned it .
Congratulations on your new apartment! I really enjoy watching your videos. You have a great content as I can see. Great job, Taylor!
Thank you so much!! 😊😊
Good deal at the time of this video. Crazy how prices have gone up everywhere. I have a vacation condo in Orange Beach, AL. In 2014 I bought a 900 sq ft condo 2/2 br/ bath on a bay with a great view of the water. With 2 car parking underneath. Now they are selling 3 times what I paid. Of course property taxes and insurance have gone out the roof.
You're really cool & smart Taylor, love watching your vlogs. Enjoy your new place!
Aw thank you so much!! 😊
@@TaylorBell You're welcome! Keep up the awesome work.
Taylor and her special voice/tone. As usual, such an enjoyable video with great tips.
Thank you very much!! 😊
Awesome! Thanks for sharing the deal you got living in the city with the COVID discount, now rent controlled! I also look out a big window when on my laptop at my desk.
Of courseee! Very nice, it's such a game changer huh?!
@@TaylorBell We have a house in Tampa, FL, but we are older. We took a cruise from Tampa, we got off in NYC, stayed a hilton garden inn near Penn Station/Moynihan Train Hall. We walked to Central park a couple of days, did top of the rock. Nice view. Also MOMA, got a T-shirt, van gough missing ear. Another day, we went to Hudson Yards, saw the vessel. The wind at Hudson Yards was impressive.
What about where do you do the laundry? Does your unit have washer/dryer, or do you have a central room, or what amenities? Is there a small workout room? What about a rooftop/observation lounge? I'm sure that your views are impressive. Thank you for sharing.
Walking to the Apple Store near central Park was pretty nice.
As someone who works fully remote from Ohio, I pay $1,400 in Columbus for a 2 bd, 2 bath, 1100sqft and use one bedroom for an office. NYC prices are insane haha.
Sounds about right!
Loved your thought process. I'm in Greenwich Village in a place with a tiny balcony and a lot of light but there's definitely a price to pay for living downtown.
Aw thanks Anna! Ooh very lovely area, the balcony and a lot of light really makes a difference I'm sure. I can see myself there near you in a couple years 😊
@@TaylorBell your place has such a great energy, light and airy. BTW try citibikes to come downtown, it's so fun on Westside Highway!
@Anna Sabino Aw thank youuu! I bike down the WSH almost every day and I looove it. It's just weaving in the city streets themselves to get to the LES that I don't like doing at night 😩
You're already getting enough praise but the editing was incredibly good and satisfying in this video. Very interesting information as well, loved it.
Couple quick questions for you Taylor ... 1) how long is your lease renewal for? 2) what floor is your apartment on? When you showed views looking down it looked like you're 50 or more floors up!
Your videos are always motivational!
Love from tokyo!
So glad you think so!! Greetings from NY (Tokyo is at the tippy top of my bucket list)
You have a beautiful apartment and I enjoyed your video as always! I was reminiscing about living and working in NYC. I do love West Village, but can’t beat midtown west luxury, prices and views! I loved on E 108th so Harlem but right across from the Central Park and our last year we lived in a lovely building in FiDi, loved being a short ferry ride away from Dumbo!
Thank you so much!! Ah all those areas sound lovely. I really enjoy FiDi as well!
Yeah, I figured Miss Turtle was headed for a pond over in the Village or Chelsea. Have you ever considered Brooklyn? I do get that It is tough to beat the midtown views. I love how you can see billionaires row and the Hudson river at the same time! Nice job on the video. The audio sounds great and as always I love your montage scenes!
Aw thank you so much!! A friend of mine gave me a really nice tour of Williamsburg last week and I loved it. I think I’ll be in Manhattan for as long as I live in NY though 😊 and thank you again!!
Ya, your sense of humor is an underrated skill. Love it!
Aw thank youuuu! Glad someone appreciates it 😅
Hey! Taylor I really really really addicted to your vlogs so so so so much and your videos are truly truly truly helpful to me in life you inspired me so so so so much and I will support you till end🥺😭💖🌸
Aw I’m so glad!! Thank you so much!!
taylor gives me such positive and turtle vibes and HER EYESSS SO PRETTY. i ngl look upto her
AW THANK YOU so much!!! can't beat turtle vibes
I love your videos please post more nyc work week life kinda content
Thank you so much!! More to come 😊
You're so funny and adorable like a Teddybear. Always enjoy your videos
Great video! Could you explain how your apartment was rent-stabilized when your building was constructed after 1974?
Thank you so much! Idk how it’s determined to be honest, something to do with tax abatements I believe
The ad section was so smooth that you actually want to watch it! Great vid as usual!
yayy glad you thought so, thank you!! 😊
It's exactly the same in London in the UK, the increase in rental prices is craaaaaaaazy.... You have a fantastic deal!
Insane!! yess got so lucky, thank you 😊
Visiting NYC right now and I really love the city. I'm gonna try to move here in a few years.
yayy so glad you're enjoying it!
@@TaylorBell Thanks.
I'm so happy you received such a great renewal, Taylor! Is your unit now considered rent-controlled permanently or just for this year?
Thanks so much!! It's rent stabilized for as long as I have the lease 😊 The % increase will change year to year, but it will always be a reasonable increase (1-4%) and nothing like 20-40% thank god
@@TaylorBell Oh nice!! What a perfect scenario 🙂
Kudos to you! - You are not only very smart but extremely likable and your videos are definitely amazing - I look forward to every new video you publish
So nice of you to say!!! Thank you so so much 😊
Hey Taylor, I think you should really consider buying your own home when your lease ends You might be able to continue renting out the other units to produce consistent cash-flow if you purchase a multi-family, and you'll be able to tap enjoy the appreciation of the property over time!
Hey there! Totally. Planning to buy property elsewhere once I move out of the city 😊
Yep! you are amazing. Productive and forward-moving! It's a hat trick! Always proud of you!!!
Thanks for the vids and info Taylor! Starting my MBA next month and hoping it leads to consulting in NYC as well. Would you ever consider doing a Q&A episode, live or otherwise? Take care!
Aw thank you, and congrats!! 🎉 That's awesome. Yes for sure, I'll be filming one this week answering the questions people submitted on my Insta 😊 Thanks for watching!
@@TaylorBell Great, looking forward to it!
Great video Taylor, just discovered your vlog. Great information for a hopeful, future NYC resident sometime down the line.
next destination mars 👽
Sounds fun to me 👽
@@TaylorBell 😂😂😂😜
Hey good news. I love that your were able to keep it and a such great price. The view is so empowering and comforting. I really love natural light. Some people are like negative, always predicting doom. I believe that one should prepare, but no reason to go telling negative stuff to people.
I'm looking into current / historical rent in SF right now and it's the same level of ridiculous pricing. Apparently there are more deals between October and February (renting offseason?) so I'm hoping that happens before I make my move. Out of curiosity, what month did you re-sign / extend during?
Crazy in SF also! We signed in June but got the deal because of covid
side hustle...with those amazing views you could take some amazing photos!
Great content as always!
It’s nice living with roommate split the cost of monthly and have amazing views.
If I could live in NY I would aim for upper east side or west village. But that is a dream for sure!
Thank you so much!! Totally, I love having my roommate 😊 and upper east side is so lovely too!! Definitely a quaint area to walk around
Your eyes are so blue I can't take it anymore!🤩😍
Need more Covid deals....without the covid part.
HA that would be nice huh
As someone who also works from home, and also lives “far from the action,” I totally feel you on having a great view. It’s one of the things that can make a living situation bearable.
My current view sucks. Can’t wait to move away from here. 😭
Pretty Good .concise & correct information in the shortest possible way
Loved the way you did multiple shots while storytelling the entire process it has definitely added a spice in your video :)
Thank you so much for noticing! 😊
The views are awesome and I just keep going back to the channel to just look out your window!🤣🙌
Without revealing much, The 2 apartments (run by the same mgmt company) that are next to each other are both rent stabilized. subways are a walk but the amenities kind of make up for it
Do you have to know if it’s all units or a portion of units? Curious how to tell when luxury buildings are stabilized!
@@allthehui It's typically indicated in your rental agreement. My place has a couple units dedicated to low income housing and is classified as a luxury apartment. To know if you're specific unit is rent stabilized you might have to call the housing dept
I’m so happy for you!
It’s bruh😂🤣 So happy you found an apartment you enjoy and where the rent didn’t go up too much!!
Hahah thanks so much Nathan! 🥳
Great vid❤️
Congrats on 100k
Thank you so much!! 🥳
Congrats on getting another amazing deal on your apartment. I’m moving to the Corinthian in Murray Hill next month, and will be paying 2125 in rent for a similar 1br flex. Your views definitely beat mine though haha
Thank you so much!! Oooh that's awesome. Still a pretty good deal based on what I've been seeing, congrats!
Congratulations 🎊 on your renewal! My renewal was 40% increase in May, 2022. No viable options! 😖
Thank you so much!! Ahh I'm sorry to hear that! Best of luck
