To turn this into a drinking game- take a shot every time I say New York City or talk about big windows/natural lighting 🤡
🤣
Ok. Sounds fun.
Thanks Taylor bye
Living in NYC in your twenties with floor to ceiling windows is literally a dream
Aw thank you 🥲 can’t wait to share more with ya
IT'S PREEETTTYYY CHEAPPP THEREE!!!! 🤣🤣😂😂😂😤😤😤👹👹👺🎃🎃
Yhyh
My dream too
@@darthvader1793 bc a lot of people like the idea of living in a popular city with lots of natural light, it’s just a aesthetic lots of younger people like ig, like me
I just started looking for high rises and fully embracing my interest in moving to NYC. It's been a dream for me and I hope it comes true!
So happy for you! ☀️ After jumping through about a million hoops to find my DC area apartment (with floor to ceiling windows 😉) I can appreciate how long it takes to find the perfect place. Great video! 🤙🏼
Yayyy!! Congrats on finding a great apartment Taylor! I’m obsessed with that view 😍. Making the one bedroom work for 2 is such a smart way to save money and get everything you want out of your apartment for the right price. Those amenities are well worth it. The washer/dryer in unit itself is worth so much. So happy for you Taylor!
Thank you sooo much Macy!! Hehe yupp doing anything we can to save some money but keep that view and amenities. So so happy with it and can't wait to share more !! Thanks sm for watching :)
So impressive!! Setting new goals from watching your video. Love that you gave all the details and as a current college student I feel that this is all fairly attainable with hard work :)
Aww this is so sweet, thank you so much!! And YES love that attitude, couldn’t agree more! ❤️ thank you so much for watching 😊
I live in NYC and I love watching videos like this. The apartment you decided on is gorgeous! welcome back to the city!
Soo glad you enjoyed! I also love NYC apartment videos hehe and Aw I appreciate it💕 thank you sm for watching!
I lived in NYC my entire life (Brooklyn) but I love watching videos like this! I'm too focused on saving as much money as possible and investing it for earlier retirement to actually get an apartment like this but I love watching other people vlog about it and seeing them enjoy the experience! Hope to see more updates in the near future!
@@darthvader1793 I mean same here lol I'm saying i WOULDNT live in an apartment like this. Id rather save money to travel
This is amazing! Girrrrrrl, I wish I could show you the apartments I lived in when I lived in New York lololol. I'm sososo glad you got your big windows and found an amazing place within your budget, how awesome
Ahhh would’ve loved to see your old apartments. But I looove the little bit I get to see of your current one 😎 and Aw thank you soo much hehe also so happy I got my big windows. Can’t wait to show ya more when the time comes 💕
The last apartment view is amazing. This is my first time hearing the flexible wall, cannot wait to see more and how it's done. Congrats on finding a nice apartment and good luck with your new job!
Thank you so much!! Ahah yup will def show some footage of the flex wall being built.. it was an intensive process haha thank you so much for watching!
Taylor !! Love your videos on consulting!! Can you talk about micro habits that you developed on the job? Like small do’s and don’ts, things that worked for you e.g: Multi-tasking etiquette or how you improvised when minimal guidance was provided, how you ask for help, who you ask for help, etc. Love from 🇮🇳.
Good value and layout. It's basically like you both got your own mini studio with a just a shared kitchen for
Thank you so much!! Exactly ahah we're very happy with it 😊
So cool how honest you are sharing all the information! Love your videos 🥳
Ahhh this is so fascinating, love this 🥰 we aren’t big city people but these were fabulous tips! Living in an air bnb for the first month is SO smart! And honestly a viable option too for living arrangements 🥰🎉
Awww thank you Brittani! Ahah I feel ya girl, I’m right down the middle with city/country, I know I’ll be itching for an RV trip to Wyoming/Montana/Utah etc after a month in NY 😅 and YESS air Bnb can be such a great resource!! Have had only great experiences with it too 🤗 thanks so much for watching my friend!! 💕
@@TaylorBell Lol YES! We are heading out that way at the end of summer for a few weeks and we are so pumped 😍 going to go start scoping out a piece of land 👀🎉 Aww of course girl I’m so pumped to see all your NYC adventures 🥰🎉
Nice video, well explained but still hyped for the IRL tour🙌🏼 (holy damn that view every morning is just a dream)
Thank you so much!! So excited to give the IRL tour too hehe and aw thank you🥲 agreed
So excited for you! I hope you really enjoy your time there!
Thank you so much Nathan!! Can’t wait to give lots of updates and NY vlogs 🤗
Omg that place is badass!!!! Yass, windows for natural light! Be surprised how not having natural , or good lighting can be so depressing!! Being patient pays off! I'm happy for you guys! 😎👍
Thank you Anthony!! I'm so happy with it. Yess lighting is so so important, super glad we waited it out til we found this place 🎉 Thanks so much!!
I can’t believe how many people here in Vancouver rent basement suites! I’m Australian so solar powered 😅☀️
This is so awesome. I subscribed from this video it showed up in my recommended. I'm so excited for you!!!!
Aww thank you so much Maggie!! So glad you enjoyed it. All my best to you too!! 🎉
How exciting! Loved this video, even though I'm not planning on moving to NYC - still interesting to look at housing options haha. Can't wait for an apartment video once you move there 🤩
Milla! Thank you so much ahah so glad you still ejoyed!! Excited to give an official in-person tour very soon :) Thanks sm for watching
*Lived in the city for a decade. While I loved it, I really like having a proper home with a yard, garage, etc. But agree with your sentiment on living in the city as a young professional. The social life and the connections cannot be beat.*
Yess I feel ya! I’m gonna miss my yard, dogs, house to walk around in, etc so much 😅 it’ll be exciting to find that again after a few years in this place 🏙
Cool I've found and watching this video Taylor, after watching your NYC apartment your video. Looking stunning Taylor as always
My wife and I did an apartment hunting trip to NYC before we moved here. I still remember it was the 3rd building we saw, and the view was worth every penny of rent. We said yeah that's the one and cancelled all subsequent appointments :) That building is Gehry in FiDi. Even though we don't live there any more, it's always our top recommendation in Manhattan.
I'm a 35 year old man and its been my dream to live in new york city for my whole life but I have no money so I'm really glad I get to watch other people like you do it and live vicariously through your videos. Glad to see you not wasting your life like I did! Liked and subbed!
35 isn't old, there's still time! Ahah but thank you so much, so glad you're enjoying the vids :)
‘Did’?! DID?!!! Excuuuuse me
You’re young
I probably won’t be able to move to NY because I’m not American but maybe one day, for both of us :) You never know what can happen!
@@brittanykateevans Welp if we go by the average life expectancy of 70, 35 is middle age. I would have liked to experience nyc in my 20s since I feel like time is moving so fast at this point, i'll be 40 soon then 50 and I bet living in the city would make time move even faster which would be scary. So maybe I should just enjoy other peoples experiences of it lol
This place is awesome, I’m so excited for you :)
Why thank you!! I can’t wait to show everyone a real tour when I’m there 😊
I must thank you for showing journey. My daughter is moving to NYC and your tips have helped tremendously!!
Aw thank you so much! So happy to hear it’s been helpful 😊🌃
OMG, Taylor! I am beyond excited for you! Side note: I am OBBESSED with windows too, no shame! I am also a sucker for building views. Seeing the night lights of all the buildings is going to be SO gorgeous! Big Congratulations!! 💕
Aww thank you so much Lindsay!! Hehe the windows are just so important right?! And agreeed, I could spend all day just people watching with some binoculars out these windows lol (not in a creepy way of course...) 😂 thank you sooo much!❤️
Great video! You could put your desk diagonally so it's facing both walls / windows! I'm looking forward to your NYC videos! That one bedroom where you have to walk through another bedroom to get to it, I wondered why didn't they just put a "narrow" hallway there even though the bedroom you would have to walk through would be smaller? I'm happy I got all your newer videos watched now! I'll be sure to watch new ones as soon as I can when you post them!
Thank you so much!! I got an L-shaped corner desk so I can look out my windows all day long :) thanks so much for watching!
@@TaylorBell Yeah an L shaped desk there would be really nice. You're very welcome! : )
This was helpful! I’m literally in a clone situation (first year consultant moving to NYC August 1) and about to try and find a place myself. Hopefully I have the luck you did
Whaaat aha what a small world. Best of luck to you on your apartment search!! Fun yet stressful at times 😅
Omg Cameron same!!! How has the search been going? Its so stressful lol
Great videoTaylor! I hope you find the right apartment. You gave good insight and tips. And best of all I have smashed that like button for the youtube algorithim!! :)
Thanks so much Daniel!! So glad you enjoyed 🤗 and so happy with the place we picked out !
wow apartment hunting right now and this video provided so much value, thank you! I love the finishing in this building, are you able to provide some details to where this is located?
Taylor i have been following u since u went for coffee with Graham Stephan, its really awesome to see how far u have came in such a short time, with youtube & your professional career., & now on your way to New York ..congrats Taylor, your Awesome
This is so kind!! Thank you so much Rick 😊 it’s crazy how much has happened in a year, isn’t it?! Haha but really appreciate the support and the nice words, thank you🤗
@@TaylorBell 💕
Great video! Loved your editing and humor. Lol I'm also moving to the city soon with my husband and the 2 bed flex would be a great option for a home office!
Aww thanks so much girl!! Appreciate it💕 and wowow perfect, so exciting for you guys
Nice place congratulations ! And welcome to New York 🙌🏽🎉🥂
Thank you so much!! Happy to be here 😊❤️
oh definitely waiting for that apartment tour 🔥
Can’t WAIT to show u guys
Wow you chose the best one for sure! The kitchen is sooooo beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!!! Ahh yes I’m so happy with it 😊
Congrats on your new place! hope all is well.
Thank you so much!! Hope all is well with you too😊
Your new bedroom views are spectacular! Great job on negotiating. Would love to see a video on that negotiation process!
Aww thank you soo much! Yess can definitely talk about this, I just wish it was a more interesting story 😂 (basically just submitted an offer, they countered, I accepted their counter). I know it’s usually more exciting than that ahah
@@TaylorBell I never knew rent was negotiable until I watched this video, which is the only reason my ears perked up when you said that. If you’re ever out of video ideas that may interest/educate more people 🤗 Well done in any case!
@@theretiredmillennial Ahh ok that's good to know! I think it varies city by city-- my boyfriend signed for a place in Boston and negotiating didn't really seem to be a thing (at least for the apartments he looked at). And thank you so much!! 😊
Check out Long Island while you are here, especially our beaches! You will not be disappointed! Long Beach is a local favorite and is just a short trip on the LIRR! Welcome from a lifelong New Yorker!
YES of course!! Can't WAIT for some weekend beach trips, I know you've got some beautiful ones 😍 Thank you sooo much, so excited to be there!
@@TaylorBell My pleasure!
Appreciation to your efforts to reply every possible comments☺️☺️
Aw thank you!! Happy to 😊
It would be really cool if you made a road trip vlog driving from LA to NYC if you are driving! It’s a chance to see the whole country!
Aww man I would love that! I actually grew up doing those cross country road trips every single summer with my family 🤗 it’s the best way to see the whole country, totally agreed!!
I’m from a different side of TH-cam, don’t know how I got here, but I’m here. hi Taylor 😅
Hahah nothing like a good TH-cam rabbit hole 😂 Welcome!!
Damn i love this channel. Can't wait for the moving video
Omg thank you so much 🥲 that makes me happy. And I can’t wait to make it!!
Great one! Curious, how much did the flex wall cost? How many hours of labor did it involve? Can you use the materials if you rent another apartment in the future?
Congrats on finding an apt! Not sure if your broker mentioned this, but you may have to pay a flex wall installation fee - just something to keep in mind. I recently wrapped up my undergrad and am moving up to NYC soon too! Found a decent apt around Murray Hills but had to pay ~1k (split 50/50 with roommate) for the flex wall
Real nice apartment. Will you be doing a tour once the walls up and you’ve set up home? Best in your next chapter
Thank you so much!! YES definitely, will have that video ready not too long from now 😊
new subscriber here QUEENNN CANT WAIT 4 YOUR INCOMING NYC LIFE/VLOGS!!
Omg THANK YOU!! I also can’t wait! 😊
Landlord: So are you guys interested in.........
Taylor: FlOoR tO cEiLiNg WiNdOwS!
AHAHA reading me like a book
I'm in love with this channel ( And with taylor too😛)
I had never heard of “flex bedrooms” until this video, but it makes a lot of sense. Congrats on finding an awesome apartment with huge windows! Looking forward to more videos in the future. Thanks for sharing Taylor!
Thank you sooo much! Ahah yep it's a pretty popular solution in NY it seems. Obviously 2 "built-in" bedrooms would be awesome but this saves us money and is also a great option ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks so much for watching!! 🎉
I’m not sure but I’m questioning if those flex bedrooms are even within code and allowed… I could be wrong and way off. Probably completely dependent on the city, permits etc
@@andydrew3320 Pressurized walls are technically not allowed. But we wouldn't have signed for this place if we didn't confirm beforehand that a non-pressurized wall/ bookcase wall was an option 😊
@@TaylorBell so who's paying for these walls? And how much more will installing the flex walls cost?
Fantastic video, Taylor! I like it. I had no idea that you actually already lived in the West Village! (And in the Financial District) That's cool! Btw. I heard so many times how it's a very rare thing to have a washer and a dryer in unit in NYC, but every person, who was talking about it, had one! lol
Thank you so much!! Yup I loved living in both those places in the past summers 😊 haha it’s rare unless you’re willing to pay a bit more I guess! 😂
@@TaylorBell Sure! lol ... I was just going to watch your videos! lol I just came here to watch your videos, when your reply arrived. Nice chance!
Ahhhh, great view of the docks..... btw, do you like floor-to-ceiling-windows?
You lucked out again! It’s beautiful!
Thank you so much!!
I will peek out of the window the whole day someday...the sunset the skyscrapers...hope I'll get to live this life 🇳🇵
OK, Thank you for so great video and place you living now. And I go to cry...
Of course! 😂
Wow, the apartment is wonderful
Awesome video, those windows OMG, im a huge fan of natural light and floor to ceiling windows, my dream is to have a kitchen where one of the walls will be those concertina doors and in the summer (british summer never lasts long but ah well) I can have it wide open and have a bunch of vegetables and herbs growing outside.
Wish you and your roommate the best time for the move and start in New York :)
Aww thank you so much! Also a huge fan of the windows ahah and I love that, sounds so nice. That’s makes British summers all the more sweet 😊
never appreciated the floorplans of a property until you start to live in London, NYC, etc as much floor space as possible, please!!!
Yess! So so important!
Great seeing your channel take off after seeing you on Grahams channel!
Aw thanks so much!! Appreciate it 😊
Can’t wait to watch more of ur videos
Thank you so much!! 😊
With the sunglasses, you can live in Hell’s Kitchen and be like daredevil ;) anyway, nice video as always and thank you for the update on your NYC adventure. It is almost like a new season of a tv show!!
Will definitely be doing that, I never leave the house without me 😎 And Aw of course, so happy to share! Thank you so much for following along 🤗 And I love looking at it that way 📺
Can you make a video about the using the subway and Central Park? I am so excited to visit NYC via your videos!
Yess definitely! SO many NY videos I'm excited to make 😊 Can't wait to show it off!
damnnn what a view, I would look outside at night and then watch all the lights
Do you sell a print of the NYC neighborhood map you show at 1:12? I love it and it's a bit more detailed than some other modern Manhattan neighborhood prints I've found. Thanks! @taylorbell
"live for the first month in an airBnb"
facts, it''s what Graham would say
Hahah yup, pro tip. Love using air Bnb whenever I can
That view is amazing.
Ahh thank you sm, I'm very happy with it 😊
Wow great choice I’m with you on the floor to ceiling windows. Are you on the lower east or west side? Have fun and enjoy the city.
Ahh thank you! Big fan of those windows. I’m on the west side!😊 and thank you so much
The views are the selling point to me... a dream
Thank you so much!! Have been loving it since I moved it 😊
HI! How does your camera zoom in and out? its super cool!
Wow! Amazing apartment with a beautiful perfect view. Are utilities like internet included?
Thank you so much!! 😊 some are and some aren’t (wifi isn’t unfortunately)
That edit at 0:42 was very nice!
Thank you!!
I just sent this to my sister! She’s moving there in September !!!
Awww so exciting for her!! Hope this can be helpful 💕
Always been my dream to live and work in NYC. I am 25 now and all my friends are pushing me to make it happen so I am aiming for next year. Just need to find a job and roommates.
You got this!! Best of luck to you 😊
12:46 😁 humour in the editing itself.
Never have I clicked so fast
Aw shucks!! Hope you enjoyed hehe
Hi! How was your friends' experience living at 635 W 42nd st? I am currently looking at a unit in that building :) Thanks!
He absolutely loves it!! I’ve heard from some others that the management is a little sketchy, but I know my friend loves it haha
Hi Taylor! How did you find your roommate? Was it just a friend from college, random person, etc? Thanks- love the video!
Hi Katie!! Of course, thanks for watching 😊 she’s a friend from college!
New subbie here can you tell us how the process of negotiation went? I am in love with this space and would love to know how to negotiate rent. what did you put in to find the apartments like this?
Helloo welcome! Yes, will def speak about this more in depth in a future video. But basically we just submitted an offer expecting to get a counter offer, and then we accepted their counter offer. As for finding the luxury high rise, I already knew of some in midtown west so I searched for similar buildings in the area 😊
Only downside of floor to ceiling windows in a city like New York is it can get really cold during Winter even with heating you have to further compensate for it to stay warm. GL
Ahh interesting, hoping it's not too bad! Will keep everyone updated in a future video ahaha thank u
Great editing at the beginning! Taking notes 😂
AW ur too kind. Love seeing your growth!!
Congrats !!!
Thank you so much!!
you should do a furnished apartment tour!!
Definitely will come! 😊 getting some art and little things this week 🎉
There is a special light in you, always keep it with you and don't allow to lose it by yourself. Mountains and valleys to go through, and sometimes deep desserts to fall into, but if you raise your eyes to our God, you will always succeed! GBY!
Now that was very informative. I think at less than $500 per week for your share it is good value. Are you required to pay a refundable bond Taylor? Will be very interested to see the process re the flexi wall. And I can't believe you & your roommate placed no emphasis on the dishwasher!!!!!!!!!!!! 'They' could take everything else in the house but touch the dishwasher and it all gets very ugly very quickly hahaha! Enjoyed.
250 E Houston is a phenomenal building, great value, location and roof top deck w view, doorman
Nice! Will take a look at it next time I'm on the apartment hunt
Great success 👌🏻
Greatt success 🎉
Would using wardrobes as a means of separating the room look any better and be more use than a flexible wall ?
Great minds think alike! 😊 We're using Ikea book cases with some soundproofing-type cork on the backside, plus plexiglass sheets at the top to let light in
@@TaylorBell maybe the mirrored film over the plexiglass might look well inside the living area . Just thinking out loud 👍
Sorry Taylor. Had to pass on the drinking game. Thankfully though otherwise I may have had some issues getting started today. Congrats on the apartment by the way. Honestly I'm not trying to jinx you but you are making it look a bit too easy. Needless to say I have heard tons of horror stories over the years! Best of luck!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁😁😁
HA I don’t blame you, not the best activity for Monday morning. And thank you so much!! Haha can’t wait to share more stories when I’m there! I’ve had a couple crazy encounters, even during just 2 summers there 😂
Superb Video.
Thank you so much!!
The apartment looks amazing congratulations 👏💖
Thank you so much!! 🤗🎉
@@TaylorBell I want your advice I'm about to choose my major and I'm puzzled I don't know what to choose from these accounting finance customes and marketing can you help me please 😪🙏
@@AhmedKhaled-gr2of Whatever you're most interested in!
@@TaylorBell the most is finance but I fear that it's hard one and I see accounting is more safe to find a job so I'm puzzled if you can tell me the pros and cons of both please and thanks in advance
A lot of the luxury apartments in nyc are going for a steal right now because of the panini! Last I heard they were even offering free months too. I love the charm of a pre-war building but your window views here are stunning.
YES it’s so nice to see how the prices have dropped- definitely a side perk of the panini ahaha and yep I got a free month off as well 😎 I feel ya girl, definitely some charm and personality to those older style apartments! Thanks so much for watching 😊
Panini are great for rents! Lol
Do you have any issues with neighbors, eg. dogs barking, people partying 24/7-boom boom music shaking the walls & floors?
Hiiii loved this video! where was the last location at? I love how there was water right near it too
Helloo! Thank you so much!! It’s midtown west area 😊
@@TaylorBell thanks! I have been looking on street easy and can never find the sky rise ones for a good price:(
How were you able to negotiate rent?
Hi, I would appreciate if you could do a video about your personal experiences of the hiring process / the job interview. Currently studying business so I’m very interested in consulting too. ;)
Keep up the good work
Greetings from Germany
Hi there!! Yes I’ll definitely get around to making a vid all about this at some point. There’s a lot to share for sure! 😊
Thanks so much for watching, greetings right back to ya from California!
I clicked the bell for my girl Taylor Bell!
What's upp another Taylor! Thank you, you rock 🎉
@@TaylorBell From one Taylor to another. love your videos!
Damn your apartment is 🔥 Should’ve had me a roommate when I was in NYC. I was paying similar rent as you for a 1 bed in a worse location way higher up in Manhattan without anywhere near those amenities. Congrats on the find
(Delayed response Taylor here lol) Thank you so much!! Very happy with it :)
That's so awesome.
Thank you so much!!
Anytime
The winner one is gorgeousss
Thank you so much!! Have loved living here 😊
Which building did you finally move into?
Beautiful apartment 🥰 wished in Berlin where apartments like this. The view 🥰🥰🥰
Aw thank you! Official tour of the place in-person coming soon on ny channel :)
Well hello there! I got into UPenn but deferred. How much do you think UPenn matters now that you are free from the school? Does it help you get jobs or do they not really care?
Helping you get a high paying job right out of college is what it is best for, plus the network and connections you gain over 4 years!
