If I remember correctly, Monica inherited her place from her grandmother or something like that, which makes sense -- no way she could have afforded the rent or owned the property (2-bed) herself. It'd probably go for 3M-4M+ today. Joey's and Chandler's place was a much smaller 2-bed, but its rent today would probably still be 4K+/month... all of which Chandler was paying 😂. Since we're on the topic, Jerry's 1-bed in Seinfeld would go for at least 3K/month today.

I actually think the price of this one is pretty cheap, but suppose it’s bc it’s a weird layout that will be unattractive to any investment property buyers.
Don’t forget that one reason why real estate prices rose so quickly is investors (foreign and local) finding safe places to park their money. There is no more open land left in Manhattan, the only way to build is up, so prices are extremely high for what the local wages can sustain. Many residents simply rent...

Mia which is even more mind blowing to me. Cities like NY and San Fran seem to have their own economic scales that need a conversion rate for context to the rest of the country. Maybe some other cities I’m not thinking of too (those seem like the largest differences). Maybe LA and other major cities and I imagine the scale would slowly change compared to the first two. What do people think?
Yeah, but you'd be in SA, not in Manhattan. Like, my family owns property in Colombia, they are huge houses and one even has a pool. But it is not NYC.
I'm here in the city now looking for property. I'd say it's more difficult finding the right property to buy than anything else. Another thing I didn't expect was that you also have to be accepted by the HOA in some buildings. Just because you can afford it doesn't mean you can buy it. This is a nightmare!
Here in Russia we actually have to come up the different amount of stories, based on the building construction. Can be from 5 to 9 with no elevator. So the video subject seems quite usual to me ;)
For me it's because A. I just came from all 10mil+ House videos. B. There is barely any natural light with a shitty view and C. This piece of crap is 1mil. Honestly my place in the netherlands is just a bit smaller, with great natural lighting and an actual view for 800 bucks a month. So this video also makes me kind of happy
True, but comparing the night life/jobs/opportunities, not very many places can compare to NYC. Young professionals can’t afford to live in NYC, that’s true, but they can’t find jobs and diversity anywhere else. In a way, you are not just paying for the apartment, not literally anyways, you are paying to live in the city. There are more far more jobs here than people, thus, easier to change and adapt. Furthermore, NYC real estate has one of the best returns on investments. Meaning if you buy a home here for 1 million, 2-3 years down the line, it could easily be worth 2 millions. Which is also true of Texas and Tennessee but it’s far longer for investments to double, at about 15-20 years if at all. Also, it’s important to note that once people get older/don’t go out anymore, they generally live away from cities as they already have savings and don’t work anymore. You buy homes based on your needs.
Andrew LaGrotta NYC does not suck ass. It’s all about perspective, and you’re probably just living here. If you have dreams, goals and ambitions you can do amazing things in this city.
As someone who's lived in NYC their entire life id say the environment makes it worth it for me. Its the most diverse place in the world and you never get bored i wouldn't wanna be anywhere else
Busy streets, terrible traffic, overpriced housing, overpriced everything, a view that is terrible for 1 million dollars, poor air quality, pollution, I mean the list goes on and on.
the fact this costs $1M is wild man. my boss got a $1M house in NJ and you could fit like 5 of these apartments inside his house😂 and thats not even mentioning all the property too.

After he said “Here is what you can buy for $1 million dollars in NYC” I wholeheartedly expected him to show us a super premium cardboard box with a tree view.
Everyone complaining about having to go up all the stairs, when coming home drunk or whatever, I’m more concerned about the paramedics, who have to rescue you from up there
I lived in NYC for a long time, I said I’d never leave….but once you’ve had a taste of some extra space, it’s hard to ever go back. I miss it a lot, but I’m quite happy to be a $70 Uber ride away with 5000 sq ft. That being said, if I could afford to drop $10m on place, I’d be back there tomorrow!
Yep plus I don't think that I would want to not have a car & I would think that would be the case there unless you wanted to spend a fortune on parking
You are correct, one million dollars is entry level for a house/apartment here. As he said, this is one of the actual "affordable" places for NYC dwellers. This video is showcasing how crappy of an apartment one million dollar gets you in NYC. It's a sad reality.
joey23 I’m a New Yorker myself but I’ve seen what else is out there, especially in the south.And I think that’s truly sad if people think this is a steal
joey23 I live in a pretty decent house for a little over $300k. If you take that $300 to Houston and see what kind of house that could get you, you’d be flabbergasted. Yes I said flabbergasted
I couldn’t even focus on the video after he said there was no elevator, every item he passed by in that apartment, I would imagine how hard it was for them to carry it up all those steps.
Somehow, I love this space way more than most of the multimillion dollar house/apartments that get shown on TH-cam. It's really cozy and not too audacious.
You could buy acres upon acres of land and never have to work another day in your life in some countries with that kind of money (assuming you're frugal with your spending)
@@fdz4866 You're wrong, you can buy a house with a sizeable plot of land for 10-20k, pretty much anywhere in eastern Europe(outside of the big cities). And since cost of living is 5 to 10 times smaller (outside of the big cities), you can live like a baller on 1000$ per month.
@@amongthequadi282 At least in my country with 1 million dollars you can buy a luxury 10,000 sqft house with two living rooms, TV studio, office, bar, a big kitchen, two gardens, five bedrooms, each one with bathroom, balconies and dressing room, another two bathrooms for guests, a terrace in each floor, basement, attic, service bedroom with bathroom, a roof garden with a jacuzzi and maybe even a little pool. In NYC you can barely buy something you can call an apartment.
Well, you don’t expect to get a really decent place with one million in major cities. Especially in Asian cities such as Hong Kong, Taipei, Shanghai...let alone NYC. So I think an apartment in NYC comes with one million is a good enough deal.
I live in New Zealand. We have had mass immigration the past decade that has increased property prices massively. In our biggest city, very hard to buy a house for under a million. Blew my mind the average in America was 200K - you cannot buy anything here for that.
Erik, I noticed many times in this video you would refer to how rare or unique the features of this house were for the price point. Almost alluding to there being none quiet like it or at least very few that offer that amount of amenities for 1 million. Could you do a video on something more typical? It seems like for that price point the features of the house are not usually that nice…
Hot damn, that’s actually a bargain for the place. Recently renovated and the 2 outdoor spaces alone make it worth the price point. The lack of an elevator and all those stairs make it a pain in the ass but the rooftop decks are worth it!
TheBlueBlur 2000 yeah in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. You can also get a a 5 bedroom mansion in Syria or some war-zone country. You want to live there? $1M for this property is a great deal in NYC. This is coming from someone that live in Nebraska where I can also buy a 6BR/7BA 5,000 sq foot house for under $500k
Mo Karney climbing a thousand steps up and down everyday just to get to work or get some food/groceries, and having to lug all those stuff up and down. Esp if u travel often and got to carry ur luggage. Moving furniture is gonna be rly hard too. Erik is a really strong man and even he got tired. If ur a lady or an older gentleman, the stairs will wear you down real fast.
Mo Karney I would imagine there are good cities to live in where you get a ton of square footage for a million dollar house. Atlanta GA, Austin TX, Charlotte NC. Doesn’t have to be no where. Heck have you seen Chattanooga TN? It’s kinda beautiful there. All theses cities are ironically from the south btw lol
TheBlueBlur 2000 It all depends on what you value. Some people would think spending 1 million for a 5 bedroom mansion is just not worth it at all if they can’t live in their preferred location. The market is driven by demand, enough people do think it’s worth 1 million or close to that or it wouldn’t sell. Yes for you it might not be worth it, but if you loved living in NYC, had friends and a job there then this place is a steal for 1 million with those two outdoor spaces. Not sure if that was a 5th floor walk up which admittedly diminishes its appeal but still it is a great space!
If you live in Manhattan you’re expected to be making about 100-150ish K (on the lower end - people say you barely make middle class with 100K) - people view 3K on rent as the norm, 1 million for a young single software engineer making 150-200K isn’t really out of reach, you could have a solid down payment in 5 years.
David 2206 You don’t go to the city if you don’t have any savings or a job lined up. You’re fucked in any city if that’s your circumstance, you won’t have a place to stay or a source of income so you’re unemployed and homeless lol.
I was watching these type of videos a few ago and thinking the prices form $1m is nuts. With Covid our house prices in northern Cali are so insane I watched this today and thought, that’s not too bad for NYC.

RACE PHOTOGRAPHY - SD If I had a million dollars, I’d spend it on something a hell of a lot nicer than this! I used to live in NYC, BTW and I’m not talking about a Midwest house in the middle of nowhere. You can get true luxury in NY for that price!
Tim Cuffman The rooftops are great, but aesthetically, I’ve seen better for a lot less money! It’s on the 5th floor and doesn’t even have a damn elevator! Not paying a million dollars for a place with no elevators or amenities!
imagine paying 1 million dollars for an apartment, then inviting friends over to party and have them to cross your bedroom to go to the outside dining area. Imagine, considering a friggin treadmill as a bonus feature. one. million. dollars.
Honestly this apartment has a ton of space for a 1 br and is well worth the money. I just wonder how they got all the bedroom furniture up the spiral staircase
Moral of the story get yourself a semi attached 3 bedroom house with a backyard or 2 family house in brooklyn or queens for about 850k , use the 150k to make the renovations that YOU want.

sea salt I heard him specifically. He said New York in GENERAL. Yes, ur right, some cities are more expensive than others but nonetheless New York is expensive period
The price is exasperated by the fireplace, age and the vast amount of rooftop space. This is a unique home. Even $10,000,000 apartments don't have this much outdoor space.
Do you think that NYC is too expensive? Comment below what the average price for a home is in your city!

I'm here in the city now looking for property. I'd say it's more difficult finding the right property to buy than anything else. Another thing I didn't expect was that you also have to be accepted by the HOA in some buildings. Just because you can afford it doesn't mean you can buy it. This is a nightmare!

Andrew LaGrotta central california and below try that
True, but comparing the night life/jobs/opportunities, not very many places can compare to NYC. Young professionals can’t afford to live in NYC, that’s true, but they can’t find jobs and diversity anywhere else. In a way, you are not just paying for the apartment, not literally anyways, you are paying to live in the city. There are more far more jobs here than people, thus, easier to change and adapt. Furthermore, NYC real estate has one of the best returns on investments. Meaning if you buy a home here for 1 million, 2-3 years down the line, it could easily be worth 2 millions. Which is also true of Texas and Tennessee but it’s far longer for investments to double, at about 15-20 years if at all.
Also, it’s important to note that once people get older/don’t go out anymore, they generally live away from cities as they already have savings and don’t work anymore. You buy homes based on your needs.
Andrew LaGrotta NYC does not suck ass. It’s all about perspective, and you’re probably just living here. If you have dreams, goals and ambitions you can do amazing things in this city.
nathanccole Texas is great wym🤣🤣🤣
When he said "affordable" I understood that I will never live in NYC
As someone who's lived in NYC their entire life id say the environment makes it worth it for me. Its the most diverse place in the world and you never get bored i wouldn't wanna be anywhere else

With a Supreme sticker on it. Making it worth 1.3 mil.

You are correct, one million dollars is entry level for a house/apartment here. As he said, this is one of the actual "affordable" places for NYC dwellers.

Great video. I agree it's very rare that you see a 1-bed apartment at this price range with 2 outdoor terrace in Manhattan.
Somehow, I love this space way more than most of the multimillion dollar house/apartments that get shown on TH-cam. It's really cozy and not too audacious.
And with the Ring Camera from Best Buy, it's a frickin' steal!

At least in my country with 1 million dollars you can buy a luxury 10,000 sqft house with two living rooms, TV studio, office, bar, a big kitchen, two gardens, five bedrooms, each one with bathroom, balconies and dressing room, another two bathrooms for guests, a terrace in each floor, basement, attic, service bedroom with bathroom, a roof garden with a jacuzzi and maybe even a little pool. In NYC you can barely buy something you can call an apartment.
Says he’ll show us more affordable homes. “HERES A ONE MILLION DOLLAR APARTMENT”
It's New York😂
Well, you don’t expect to get a really decent place with one million in major cities. Especially in Asian cities such as Hong Kong, Taipei, Shanghai...let alone NYC. So I think an apartment in NYC comes with one million is a good enough deal.
I live in New Zealand. We have had mass immigration the past decade that has increased property prices massively. In our biggest city, very hard to buy a house for under a million. Blew my mind the average in America was 200K - you cannot buy anything here for that.
In canada, you get jackshit
Vincent Lin or at least what’s left of it anyway...
Erik, I noticed many times in this video you would refer to how rare or unique the features of this house were for the price point. Almost alluding to there being none quiet like it or at least very few that offer that amount of amenities for 1 million. Could you do a video on something more typical? It seems like for that price point the features of the house are not usually that nice…
Erik, I love the open concept of this apartment and the view from the roof top deck is stunning! Thanks for sharing!
Must be joking...
Hot damn, that’s actually a bargain for the place. Recently renovated and the 2 outdoor spaces alone make it worth the price point.
The lack of an elevator and all those stairs make it a pain in the ass but the rooftop decks are worth it!
TheBlueBlur 2000 yeah in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. You can also get a a 5 bedroom mansion in Syria or some war-zone country. You want to live there? $1M for this property is a great deal in NYC. This is coming from someone that live in Nebraska where I can also buy a 6BR/7BA 5,000 sq foot house for under $500k
Mo Karney climbing a thousand steps up and down everyday just to get to work or get some food/groceries, and having to lug all those stuff up and down. Esp if u travel often and got to carry ur luggage. Moving furniture is gonna be rly hard too. Erik is a really strong man and even he got tired. If ur a lady or an older gentleman, the stairs will wear you down real fast.
Mo Karney I would imagine there are good cities to live in where you get a ton of square footage for a million dollar house. Atlanta GA, Austin TX, Charlotte NC. Doesn’t have to be no where. Heck have you seen Chattanooga TN? It’s kinda beautiful there. All theses cities are ironically from the south btw lol
Karvarus Moore anything below DC, no thx
TheBlueBlur 2000 It all depends on what you value. Some people would think spending 1 million for a 5 bedroom mansion is just not worth it at all if they can’t live in their preferred location. The market is driven by demand, enough people do think it’s worth 1 million or close to that or it wouldn’t sell. Yes for you it might not be worth it, but if you loved living in NYC, had friends and a job there then this place is a steal for 1 million with those two outdoor spaces. Not sure if that was a 5th floor walk up which admittedly diminishes its appeal but still it is a great space!
Imagine paying a million dollars to have to climb 36 flights of stairs everyday
If you only have one bedroom you don't get to call it "the master bedroom" it's just "the bedroom"
Cuz 1 million dollars is "realistic" and "affordable"...
Dude we're poor
If you live in Manhattan you’re expected to be making about 100-150ish K (on the lower end - people say you barely make middle class with 100K) - people view 3K on rent as the norm, 1 million for a young single software engineer making 150-200K isn’t really out of reach, you could have a solid down payment in 5 years.
