A video I have been meaning to make since I moved to New York! This is an in depth video on the apartment hunting process in New York City, comment which one you think I got. Happy Sunday!
I'm a simple man, if I see a Conover video I click. I like these videos! The exposed brick reminds me of the old apartment actually. :D as someone who has been following the vlog, if you still remember me lol, I think you're going to love the one with the view in the long run because you are a sentimental man, Erik and there will be days when you're going to want to unwind and just look for that inspiration to write, vlog or gather your thoughts and that view will definitely help you.
@@davidwilson6772 I've lived in NYC for all my life and yes price is most important unless you like living paycheck to paycheck and not afford anything else.
Erik Conover 2000 to 3000 where in Queens? The apt in the EV you showed is about 2600 ..I live here grew up here I know the prices all over the city. What I hate about your vblog is you are leading naive ppl on. NYC is dying fast, it's full of transitioning ppl and bars. Super sick pricy everything. Most leave within two years. Also you constantly moving drives up prices ..can you move back to Ohio? Oh yea you will as soon as you marry have 1.2 kuds an but a house in the burbs. Meanwhile NYers are stuck with the high rents transitioning ppl cause.
No offense, but this isn’t HELPFUL unless you’re telling people what’s worth this and that. People don’t want to get ripped off so by sharing your experience while including prices, fees etc, then you’re actually helping. You say it’s “too personal” but ... you chose to expose yourself on TH-cam and showing people your journey which is great but don’t give us half ass info. And FYI, for anyone reading this essay lol you can find HUGE apartments for half the price of a shoe box in manhattan in the boroughs, which is just a train ride or uber away from Manhattan. Bronx and Queens are changing and proving people with a better more affordable lifestyle.. do your research!!!
go for the view. you won't be able to use the terrace for like 3 or 4 months a year and you might not have much privacy out there. when you leave your place for the day that's when you go outside. home is about privacy and a nice vantage on the outside ... not being IN the bustle of outside.
I love that you are still grinding and making things happen Erik. I’ve watched your ambition and hard work for years now and I really appreciate the acknowledgment of us long time viewers. Keep it up man!
OPT FOR THE VIEW over the outdoor space. You'll get to use the outdoor space some times, and mostly seasonally, but not as often as you'll be able to enjoy the view year round, from the comfort of your interior space, regardless of weather conditions.
tip: move to Brooklyn or Queens, and live with roommates. Now instead of spending 2500/mo for a 400 sqft studio in Manhattan, you can pay 2500/mo (your share would be 625/mo or 833/mo) for 3 or 4 bedroom 1800 sqft apartment and just commute if you work in Manhattan.
Erik Conover, you are one of the few TH-camrs who is putting real effort in making youtube videos, don't give up your dream ! I root you from the bottom of my heart :D !!!! Go Erik !!
Go for the terrace! Its so nice to have that outdoor space that you can just step out onto without having to go all the way downstairs... plus its so much extra space for hosting friends :)
I lived in West Village and Park Slope when I lived in NYC. My Park Slope apartment had an outdoor terrace. It was AMAZING! So many parties out on the terrace. I put up strings of lights, had seating and a BBQ grill. It was the place for amazing parties. So if you like to entertain, I would go with the terrace. Otherwise I would still take the Chelsea apartment but with the view. How fun to have a new place! (I lived in NYC for 3 years and 3 months and had three apartments!)
Moving often in New York is definitely not a common thing to do. If you’re moving often it’s most likely because you haven’t found your niche. Most people tend to hold onto their apartments for awhile since finding an apartment in NYC can be a daunting experience.
Terrace! You can see the city anytime you step outside, but you can't always have a chill, outdoor place to relax or do your work when your're at home!
+Erik Conover your channel is my favorite you tube channel form NYC i may still consider going to New York City for school. I look forward to every new episode from you. I may be in NYC next fall.
Definitely the Terrace Apartment. Outdoor space, especially in the city, is invaluable. Also that one would probably have the best natural light of them all.
I honestly just couldn't do it. 3k for a 275sq ft box? I don't care how many cool coffee shops and indie/hipster shows NYC has to offer I'd much rather live in my 1.2k sq ft apartment by the water in Florida and drive a nice car.
trust me! imagine just walking and stretching outside, having drinks in the summer time!!! honestly, just beautiful!!! you can have plants and vegetables
terasse. Every little bit of space is needed. Even if you weren't to use it, it still makes you apartment bigger and it gives you breathing space. Plus you can invite your friends over.
I pick apartment number five for you because it's bigger. has natural light with a fantastic view. The apartment with the Terrance is very nice but because of the wonderful location you will be enjoying the city. That beautiful view in number five will be there when you wake and fall asleep.
Terrace > View 😉 You'll get used to the view, but you'll always enjoy chilling at your terrace and inviting your friends! So I vote #6 or #5 with the outdoor space✨ 🤗
I like the last apartment the most. What is the general housing market like in New York? How empty swept or large selection? I just saw a video about the rise of New York’s Super Skinny Towers ... Best regards from Germany, Stefan
I would pick the apartment with the terrace. It's basically additional square footage. I can see myself having my morning coffee out there or doing yoga. But my favorite apartment was the second one.
Different strokes for different folks. I know plenty of people who have moved once every year, sometimes within the same borough, but often times between boroughs (e.g. when they first came to New York City, they lived in Manhattan but eventually moved to Brooklyn, etc.).
Terrace for sure, it'll make you feel like your not stuck in a box. You still have the rooftop for views(which are even better than your current rooftop views, amazingly enough!) 😊 Good luck to you in whichever you decide!
The terrace one seems the most beneficial for you - so much space for filming! You've had a great view at the current place, now get the outdoor space.
#2, #3, were my favs. #6 was cool for the terrace. You deserve something nice and open. Please go with one of them with the open floor plan. Definitely not #4. Can't wait to see which one you choose!
Tough call but I love the private terrace. If you think you'd use the terrace a lot go that way, but if you need the relaxing views to unwind go for the views.
ok random question that is way premature (i'm literally 14)...but is LA or NYC the best for film/youtube? I've been attached to being a filmmaker since i was six and now that I'm older and finally started a channel, I'm really interested in moving somewhere with more opportunity (when I'm older). anyone have any experience?
lexamazing You seem really passionate about filmography, so I am I. I am 18 now, going to college so I am studying a lot and not filming much which is my passion.. I was thinking about that as well. I feel like LA gives you more options for collabs and such, but NY is more unique I guess.. Really depends on a person... Where do you think you would feel better?
LA has become dull, every content creator (Vlogging etc.) has become centralized in that area. NYC is definately something different, but you would need to focus on a place thats got a bit of everything.
Depends on what kind of film work you want to do. I feel as if you could really be anywhere for TH-cam. The traditional film industry is strong in both places. It is much bigger in LA, but there’s still a bunch of great films & TV shot in NY. Also worth considering Atlanta, New Orleans or Chicago. Those are all smaller markets, but sometimes it can be easier to start a career in a smaller market first. 😉 but you’ve got lots of time to figure out what’s best for you.
Bonus. Didn't see much of the apartment itself but how nice would it be to have your own personal outdoor space? Just to step outside anytime you feel like it without leaving home, have your morning coffee, entertain? It will be an extension of the apartment in the good weather months.
A video I have been meaning to make since I moved to New York! This is an in depth video on the apartment hunting process in New York City, comment which one you think I got. Happy Sunday!
Erik Conover hopefully you chose the bonus!
Love the terrace one but you travel a lot so you might want the view if you are not going to entertain anyone. Great video.
Erik Conover i went on streeteasy.com and im finding so many good looking apartments ❤ thank you so much!
I'm a simple man, if I see a Conover video I click. I like these videos! The exposed brick reminds me of the old apartment actually. :D as someone who has been following the vlog, if you still remember me lol, I think you're going to love the one with the view in the long run because you are a sentimental man, Erik and there will be days when you're going to want to unwind and just look for that inspiration to write, vlog or gather your thoughts and that view will definitely help you.
WHERE IS YOUR BACKPACK FROM?????
Video missed most important part "price"
In NYC price is not important, trust me ...the number one is space and view.
David Weston yeah when u have no budget. But the price is the most important thing for people who have limited income
@@davidwilson6772 I've lived in NYC for all my life and yes price is most important unless you like living paycheck to paycheck and not afford anything else.
@@davidwilson6772 Price is very thing!
@@davidwilson6772
Yep, price is important
why don't you give the approximate prices of these apartment,
that's most meaningful thing.
Thats quite personal. Lets just say they range from $2,000 to $3,000+ per month.
Erik Conover 2000 to 3000 where in Queens? The apt in the EV you showed is about 2600 ..I live here grew up here I know the prices all over the city.

Meanwhile NYers are stuck with the high rents transitioning ppl cause.
Lydia Green he's saying for 300sq ft it's between 2000 n 3000. Dude is so not honest. Typical TH-camrs scammer's.
Erik Conover how is that personal? Thats the most important thing
I was wondering the same and that's why I came to the comment section, actually that's the second most important thing
I vote the apartment with a view for sure
The best one is the most expensive one
always
So damn true xD
Makes sense, yepp
No... really?🙄

Where am trying to move back to New York am done with this Hell Hole called New Jersey
Hey iliana you look stunning do you have a Instagram or social media where I can get to know you
@@AhmadAli-lz2xn Bobs and vagan amirite ;)
@@declangallagher1448 you're disgusting
So true!!
go for the view. you won't be able to use the terrace for like 3 or 4 months a year and you might not have much privacy out there. when you leave your place for the day that's when you go outside. home is about privacy and a nice vantage on the outside ... not being IN the bustle of outside.
that's your definition
Good point
Home’s definition is different for everyone
I'd think a terrace like that is worth gold in a busy and loud city like NYC.
Why don't you mention the rents of the apartments?
because the price would scare a lot of his viewers away haha!
very true
Because it’s EXPENSIVE LOl 😂 $2,500 dollars
'Bathroom and shower room looked like an economy ticket on a straight flight to BALI' LOL!!!
Hands downs appartement #5, nothing can beat that view !!
Sarah Have you ever watched Ainura NYC, she has the best view
erik: "i've moved 6 times in the past 4 years"
me: "omg that is absurd"
erik: "you're probably thinking that is absurd"
me: LITERALLY
This is just a waste of space on TH-cam when you don’t mention the price
definitely the terrace- being able to walk outside from your own appt would be totally worth the extra cost
I love that you are still grinding and making things happen Erik. I’ve watched your ambition and hard work for years now and I really appreciate the acknowledgment of us long time viewers. Keep it up man!
This was so informative to anyone looking to rent in NYC!! I’m still so new to New York and I 💜ed this!! Thank you Eric!! 👍🏙 I vote for #5!!!!!
Fly With Stella Hi i’m 18y/o and live in Sweden i’m moving to New York and don’t know anybody there do u have any tips for me
happy to have the classic erik conover video music back.
i liked apartment #2 a lot, but that terrace tho 😍😍😍
#2 and #5 are the best in my opinion
Agree, I am leaning more towards # 2
OPT FOR THE VIEW over the outdoor space. You'll get to use the outdoor space some times, and mostly seasonally, but not as often as you'll be able to enjoy the view year round, from the comfort of your interior space, regardless of weather conditions.
Patio forsure! Good luck with applying!
I dont know why but the outro always makes me so happy!!
I would go with #2 or #5 with the terrace! Ya can't beat having some outdoor space in NYC!
Same here
tip: move to Brooklyn or Queens, and live with roommates. Now instead of spending 2500/mo for a 400 sqft studio in Manhattan, you can pay 2500/mo (your share would be 625/mo or 833/mo) for 3 or 4 bedroom 1800 sqft apartment and just commute if you work in Manhattan.
commuting is part of being a New Yorker, a big part, just do it.
Perfect!! I’ve been needing this video!!!
k
Erik Conover, you are one of the few TH-camrs who is putting real effort in making youtube videos, don't give up your dream ! I root you from the bottom of my heart :D !!!! Go Erik !!
I'm leaving a well deserved like for this video. No clickbait, it is what it is, a damn good video.
the appartment with the 360 NYC view was DOPE AF
Go for the terrace! Its so nice to have that outdoor space that you can just step out onto without having to go all the way downstairs... plus its so much extra space for hosting friends :)
LOL
The main thing I look for in an apartment is the views!
3:21 Wait isn't that guy, Mike from David Dobirk's videos???
I lived in West Village and Park Slope when I lived in NYC. My Park Slope apartment had an outdoor terrace. It was AMAZING! So many parties out on the terrace. I put up strings of lights, had seating and a BBQ grill. It was the place for amazing parties. So if you like to entertain, I would go with the terrace. Otherwise I would still take the Chelsea apartment but with the view. How fun to have a new place! (I lived in NYC for 3 years and 3 months and had three apartments!)
The one with the patio space was unreal man, seems like a great social space :)
I liked the last apartment with the view, you said it was spacious, and it had that natural light you love. Don’t settle for less! Go for it
Moving often in New York is definitely not a common thing to do. If you’re moving often it’s most likely because you haven’t found your niche. Most people tend to hold onto their apartments for awhile since finding an apartment in NYC can be a daunting experience.
M. Morales it is for people who lease them
Get the bonus one! Having a terrace would be so nice for parties and to just chill.
Moving to NYC by 2020 for sure!
Terrace! You can see the city anytime you step outside, but you can't always have a chill, outdoor place to relax or do your work when your're at home!
Terrace cos you'll end up someday getting used to the view at some point you won't care anymore.
I agree
the bonus with the outdoor space is my favorite! outdoor space is a major mood booster!
either the second one or the last two! (terrace btw)
The Terrace!! I love the privacy of the terrace for party etc.
I bet you chose the view!
+Erik Conover your channel is my favorite you tube channel form NYC i may still consider going to New York City for school. I look forward to every new episode from you. I may be in NYC next fall.
tryin my best to stick to that Sunday upload jumpoff
Definitely the Terrace Apartment. Outdoor space, especially in the city, is invaluable. Also that one would probably have the best natural light of them all.
Terrasse! Because you always can Go to the rooftop for the view right? Lots of Greetings from Austria
The place with the sweet view and rooftop was the best. Graduating next year and can't wait to find my spot in the city.
i would say the terrace just cool as hell to eat al fresco con privacy
oneloveonebeing Absolutely
what privacy? didnt you see all those windows looking down on the space?
I would say the last one! The deck is amazing and the view is awesome!
I honestly just couldn't do it. 3k for a 275sq ft box? I don't care how many cool coffee shops and indie/hipster shows NYC has to offer I'd much rather live in my 1.2k sq ft apartment by the water in Florida and drive a nice car.
Alex W right! Not worth it. N.Y. is a shithole, always has been. Doesn't matter how much you polish a turd. Still a turd.
RitualREDRUM im dying to get out of nyc. Hard to do though when you don’t have family or connections else where.
Leponce37 yeah I'm upstate, trying to get out west
enjoy your depreciating asset then lol.
George not like you gain any equity by renting.. lol
At least a car you can resell for something, can’t ever sell an apartment you rent lol.
I want to move to New York from Ohio this year (huge switch) and this was soo helpful! Thanks (:
The last one! with the terrace!!
trust me! imagine just walking and stretching outside, having drinks in the summer time!!! honestly, just beautiful!!! you can have plants and vegetables
terasse. Every little bit of space is needed. Even if you weren't to use it, it still makes you apartment bigger and it gives you breathing space. Plus you can invite your friends over.
Terrance you have privacy and a gym and laundry perfect
I pick apartment number five for you because it's bigger. has natural light with a fantastic view. The apartment with the Terrance is very nice but because of the wonderful location you will be enjoying the city. That beautiful view in number five will be there when you wake and fall asleep.
6 you will love that space in the summer
I think the studio with a patio is the best one...
Thanks for making my Sunday better erik
Apartment 5 with the view 😍😍 One of my favourite things about your vlogs is seeing that sunrise with the New York City view
Yay! I love your videos, can't wait to see more content.
thank you!
The last apartment is the best option for a great view. Like !
Dude I'm a life long new Yorker, WE DON'T MOVE THAT FREQUENTLY
Lived in RIDGEWOOD, 300$ month from 1982 to 1999. WITH a outside door to a backyard garden. It was AWSOME. AND NOW is PROBABLY 3500$.
Love the 5th one for you
I've lived in New York for most of my life in Williamsburg Brooklyn. It's insane how much the rent has gone up! New York is notorious for it's rent.
View 😍😍😍
I would definitely pick view before the rooftop because Id never getting tired of the view of new Yorks skyline
much love from BRAZIL Erik, your the doppest
Terrace hand down outside space is a total win x
1st: have a couple millions in the bank
Terrace > View 😉 You'll get used to the view, but you'll always enjoy chilling at your terrace and inviting your friends! So I vote #6 or #5 with the outdoor space✨ 🤗

Anthony Turner are you following me around on TH-cam sir ?
I don't live in NYC, I live in Pittsburgh, and I've been in the same apt for 20 years. 😂
Terrace for sure, it'll make you feel like your not stuck in a box. You still have the rooftop for views(which are even better than your current rooftop views, amazingly enough!) 😊 Good luck to you in whichever you decide!
You could pretty much live 24/7 at a hotel for that price..!
I love the last Apartment.
terasse!!!!
I like the very last one the most with the patio👌🏻
They are sooo small!
Sephora Wanga it's New York....
My bedroom is bigger
I’m moving to the city in December! Super helpful video. I would choose the apartment with the 360 view for sure!
Erik Conover HGTV?
Definitely go for the view. You can use the rooftop as a somewhat more public patio
Erik u must upload videos more often..
I upload when I am fired up to share ideas :)
its easy to move frequently if you are renting and have a 1 year contract. And because the apartments are small, its easy to move things out or in.
isn't that guy next to erik in videos with david dobrik now????
sabrina ahamed I just posted the same. lol
The terrace one seems the most beneficial for you - so much space for filming! You've had a great view at the current place, now get the outdoor space.
"game of thrones type of light"
this light literally doesn't have anything to do with got
I’m happy you chose the one you did
Hmmmmm. This video wasn't for the Majority of us lol
Not everyone can afford $3000 a month for a studio.
The minuim wage is almost double and you make like 3p percent more and also yo ugo not need a car a car is 300 a month so really 2700
hello people good point.
#2, #3, were my favs. #6 was cool for the terrace. You deserve something nice and open. Please go with one of them with the open floor plan. Definitely not #4. Can't wait to see which one you choose!
With my TH-cam paycheck I can buy a house in 3years 😂🤣
By the way it’s sarcasm
Tough call but I love the private terrace. If you think you'd use the terrace a lot go that way, but if you need the relaxing views to unwind go for the views.
why u moving from ur nice apartment?
Axel Westrheim Løvold lease is up
You can't continue to rent the same place? (Extending the lease). Just curious.
I want to live alone
Young Generation, have a fire lit under their ass, move, move, move.
Prolly raised the rent
Living in New York make you celebrity

Last two definitely - I like the last one with the terrace

Love the exposed brick in #2, also like #5 and the bonus one would be great for entertaining
Oh no! Getting jumped Nd drug dealers sounds horrible thankfully you have gotten in a better place
Bonus. Didn't see much of the apartment itself but how nice would it be to have your own personal outdoor space? Just to step outside anytime you feel like it without leaving home, have your morning coffee, entertain? It will be an extension of the apartment in the good weather months.
Vieww !!!
I like the last one looks more cozy! 😍😍😍😍Good luck in hunting a new living space 👍💙💚💜
