This is what you could expect in NYC in the 90s. I'm glad the landlord didn't chop up these apartments and left them as is. Not all landlords are motivated by greed.
So true. I have a friend who lives in a 3bedroom 2 bath pre war in Flatbush and you can actually get lost in that apartment. It’s massive. My friend grew up in that apartment and her family is never leaving. 😊
For real. This video actually gave me hope of finding my father a place to live. It's nice to have him back in NYC, but he's driving me crazy in my apartment.
It is a nice area. Deals can be found, we lived in a 4 bedroom for $2800, per month. We were only 10 minute walk to the one train. Easy access to A, 4 trains. Only downside, it took an hour to get to lower Manhattan
Now THIS is what I'm talking about. MORE OF THESE, PLEASE! Places that the average person can actually afford on their own, not needing roommates! Can we get more info on how that second apartment is being held up? lol from the shot you showed, it looks like the ENTIRE BUILDING is being held up by....scaffolding? What?
Yeah all the apts on the hills in Washington heights are held up by stilts like that. Check a Google 3d map view of apts on forth Washington ave from 187 street upwards overlooking overlook terrace.
@@BeyondNarratives Seriously? Say what now? Are you for real? More importantly, are they for real? I can’t believe something like that. lmao, How in the world is that possible I wonder. How does the city allow that? That can’t be safe. LoL, Wow!
I love those old school buildings. They're built to last. Both apartments are worth every penny. The prices are fantastic, room sizes nice & large, actual wood floors that are most likely the original ones. & even better they have elevators! I bet they're rent stabilized which is a definite win. These will be rented in no time
I love them as well! Even the “old” but spotless bathroom- fits w/ my vintage/ antique decor! I keep saying there are far better apts than the grey boxes in “luxury” bldgs & here are prime examples! 😃
Love the 2nd bathroom. All bathrooms should be huge and real wood floors, parquet floor in the first apartment ❤. New apartments are small, no closets, plastic everything, thin walls so you can hear everyone
@@nicolaxoxo1 - Oh I forgot that parquet floor! We have hardwood original to our home even in the kitchen & I despise rugs, I’m not even a germaphobe & they gross me out especially w/ 2 🐈 🐈⬛!
I'm shocked that there are apartments at this price range. And as pleasantly surprised I am about this. There really should be more apartments priced like this. Thanks to cash for another all star review.
@burnout 184, NYC has tons of these apartments. They are usually found in prewar buildings and are rent stabilized. The problem is that the tenants have usually been in the apartments for decades and will pass them down to other family members. That definitely influences the availability of such units.
I always told non New Yorkers there's inexpensive decent apartments in NYC. I was born & live in NYC, everybody isn't rich or could afford to pay $4,000-$6,000 a month rent. There's a lot of low income people who need apartments they can afford. There's quite a bit of nice 1& 2 bedroom apartments under $1,600 a month in decent neighborhoods here in NYC. He's just finally showing them. Don't believe everything you hear about NYC, believe what you know. Thanks Cash & Have A Great Week ❤!!!
Yes, but those apartments are very difficult to find unless you know a lot of people and are constantly asking around, or have “ins” with owners and property managers. Folks such as yourself have an advantage because born and raised tend to have those connections much more than transplants. Also people have to keep in mind that rent stabilized units sometimes or perhaps often get the short end of the stick when it comes to repairs and upgrades. Landlords focus their resources and attention on profit producing market rate units. Landlords can be slow to respond to needs. Apartments can fall into poor conditions. The city can get involved to enforce tenant rights but that’s not always a magic bullet.
I’m in Brooklyn. 2 bedroom top floor of a private house. Everything was renovated. I pay $1800. During Covid my landlord told me if I lost my job he would lower the rent. 😢
Finally! These are the kind of bargains we want to see with the features/neighborhood that are desirable. And you don’t have to share with 3-4 roommates. Haven’t seen anything like this for 1-2 years.
Fort George was the last fort built during the Revolutionary War. The neighborhood sits on a ridge from 181st street to Dykman Street and Broadway to the Harlem river. The Cloister museum is close by. The blocks are extremely hilly and steep. The area is also known as nosebleed heights due to the ridge it sits on. Not the worst neighborhood but remember to get to midtown 30 minutes, downtown, Queens or Brooklyn longer. Late night train rides through some neighborhoods could be iffy. Pretty neighborhood with lots of parks and history abounds.
I lived on Dyckman St 1955-1966! Used to go to the Cloisters all the time..Fort Tryon Park! I went to St. Jude's school 204th St..Kareem ABDUL-JABBAR/Lewis Alcindor was 3 grades ahead of me.
@@wandamontgomery6030 Yes most don't know but in northern Manhattan and parts of the Bronx there are steep blocks and tuff to walk especially in snow or wind. Some rival San Francisco.
I'd take the first one. The layout is better I think. But I'd make sure to have the locks changed after I move in. But I'd insist on that no matter where I lived. Having big radiators can be great in the winter. Just put a pan of water on it and voila! a humidifier. Also great for keeping food a little warmer while entertaining. Just be sure to vacuum the radiator boxes at least twice a month. A LOT of dust can gather there. Believe me LoL.
I like my radiators. I grew in with them in my house in Ozone Park Queens and remember putting my socks, hat, and mittens on if after coming home in rain/snow, the water pan humidifiers, and I know many people find the sounds annoying but they soothe me because they were the background music to my childhood, along with the A train El 2 blocks up.

@@saulgoodman2018 I would have been concerned about those, too. But it might be okay in NYC since it’s been up for over 100 years, but my anxiety would be at a 100 after seeing that.
They should make you the official ambassador for NYC! M not American & livin nowhere near the US but M always excited & intrigued every time i watched your vids. Thank you, Mr. Cash Jordan. Always a pleasure.
Wow. This area brings back memories in that area. I used to operate the C train. Also ran track at the nearby armory in H.S.. When they had the wooden track. I'm kind of old. Lol. Great restaurants and you are really close to N.J.. I used to commute from N.J.. Thanks for the information. Even though I left The NYC area for Southern California over 20 years ago. Seeing these areas again makes me smile. Thank you, Sir
As a former born and raised New Yorker both of those apartments are absolute gems. You can design and do a lot with both of them and for that point to have your own space is amazing. Prices like that are what rent should be everywhere in the country.
I live slightly further north a few block from these in Inwood and I always question why people pay five times as much rent for less space, while still living in Manhattan. My train ride is only 25 min to midtown and I have tons of parks.
They’re racist lol. Look through the comments. They think the neighborhood is “sketch,” which is the cowardly way of saying there’s too many brown people. Just say you don’t like people who aren’t white. Cowards.
Inwood and Hudson Heights, Ft. George, Washington Heights west of Broadway from Presbyterian Hospital North to Spuyten Duyvil have some of the best housing stock and great recreational areas in all of New York. It would be great if Crash showed his out of town fanbase more of this than the greedy developers hugely overpriced apartments in much more marginal neighborhoods.
That's crazy! Rooms in that hood were going for $800-1000 a few years ago. But those buildings were sitting on scaffolding??! Gives "rents are falling" a whole other meaning . . .
Far enough away from Midtown to actually be good apartments at a reasonable price. That long, dangerous tunnel is the big negative, but you also have that bus terminal, so you could even get out of the city on weekends without a car.
Excuse me... But did I see a "used" NIKE sneaker for sale at $250? Are you kidding me? That first one bedroom apartment for $1100/month is HUGE! It just needs a really good painting job. The second one-bedroom apartment at $1100/month is HUGE too but in better condition. (IMHO) these are both opportunities. The neighborhood is clearly gentrifying, and this is an opportunity to be brave and snag a great apartment at a fantastic rent that one could live in for years!
@@MamaCarola1 YES!!!! The first apartment has the same wood flooring that I have with all of the detailing, and you even see how each parquet was nailed.
At $1100, this is a dream and if you bring along a roommate… its $550 a month! A steal and its almost impossible to find a place to live where you can pay a half a grand a month in rent in the big city.
A $1,000 apartment in NYC? I must be dreaming because places like this would rent for at least $2,500. I would not be surprised if someone already signed the rent agreement and moved in.
Great to see affordable units in New York! The downside would be no laundry in the building and no elevator in the second unit building, but to be able to save thousands of dollars in rent would likely be worth the inconvenience for people who want to live there without the financial strain of the usual inflated rental prices and to live with a normal amount of space!
I have NEVER before seen a massively heavy building of solid brick suspended on ancient rusty stilts before. And I must admit, it's a terrifying sight. But I guess it's stood there for almost 100 years so...??? I'm from earthquake country though, so I think I'll go with building #1. It'd be hard enough for me living in unreinforced masonry without constant anxiety LOL. That said, these are both really charming old apartments and I love everything else about them. Isn't the Bronx still pretty rough, though? Are these (probably rent stabilized) prices too good to be true?
Its in upper Manhattan not the bronx and its not the safest but not the worst area. As long as there are no rodents it seems like a nice quiet building.
Yea, the stilts look odd. Not exactly sure what the construction history of the property is. However, for $1,000? Won't complain. But there was that apt bldg in Florida last yr that collapsed.
Those buildings are about 100 years old, and as you can see there are no cracks on the floors or the walls, nor see anything warped or bent out of position. The foundation is rock solid!
I personally have not viewed an apartment in Washington Heights (where I currently live on the west side ) for $1000 in about ten years, and the one I saw was a dump with eviction stickers everywhere-but east of broadway, which is where these apartments are, in prewar walkups without laundry deals definitely can routinely be found, and maybe even in elevator laundry buildings. A little loud there, especially in summer, but housing stock can be good.
As a man who’s been grinding and saving the past three years of my life to move out of my home state of Utah to New York. Seeing videos like this just gives me so so so much joy and hope. I know this is incredibly Incredibly rare but still, it makes me smile to know there’s a possibility for me. Great content Jordan. Love your channel brotha!
Just sell your car. Seriously, I'm moving to NYC and one of my friend's moved there a few months ago and he barely saved anything. Just find a job and go. Utah sucks 🤣
Both are spacious apartments that look in decent shape, if also dated. While the first one had an elevator it looked like Cash had stairs for the second one - how many flights? If they are really close to a subway station they would seem to be a bargain. Further downtown you get a place in an alley for your refrigerator carton at that price. Surely there's a laundromat somewhere nearby.
Let me call attention to rent stabilization in New York City. If you can get yourself and a rent stabilized apartment like these two listed here you are doing great
Wow, these apartments are true gems. Fallout shelter, original floor tile in the lobby and hallways, original moldings on the apartment walls,wood flooring, tub with a wrap-around shower curtain, original heaters, and huge windows. I bet the building has a basement with extra storage rooms, a laundry room, and the super's apartment/shop. Bringing back many wonderful childhood memories growing up in Queens.
#1 It's me. Hi. I'm the problem. It's me! Hey Cash, Good morning, good morning. Can't wait to see your apartments, they gotta be cheaper than a ticket to a Taylor Swift concert. $22,000. OMG! Yeah I'm the problem. Right! Glad that place has character but not characters. More is not always better. Let's go back to Yokohama soon. Or wait til the Captain is about 6 months old. Love 💕 this tour. You're rockin' our world, kid!! One gee for a decent place in NYC? I must be dreamin'!!!😆
Great price for both units. I love the charm of older apartments, but those Fogo Island Inn type of stilts, for a building that size, made my heart race 😬. I do live near the San Andreas Fault, so I suppose my trepidation is understandable. BTW, Fort Tryon Park and The Cloisters are beautiful spots to hang out!
An adult should be able to differentiate between an area with earthquakes and an area with flooding and hurricanes in knowing what is the safe way to go.
Wow this is a neighbourhood I could live in and for this price, I'd run like crazy and do a lot to get this place if I was looking for a suite! Mindblowing!
I would make this place look like a show piece. A little paint, touch ups, accessorize, textures and pillows and lighting.. oh ya. This could be a GEM. IF you're not an addict, and are invested in creativity and production.. in life.
FYI. This is Washington Heights/Inwood.- Post Pandemic That subway tunnel Should tell you everything you need to know. I know the area It's LOUD (This used to be the cocaine capital of the country. They sold it by the pound) Be mindful of Drug dealers doing business on every block. Random shootings are commonplace and you wouldn't want to "catch a stray" (bullet) There's also trash everywhere, much of which doesn't make the cans and it's also fairly isolated. However, Riverside Drive is nice and Washington Heights south of 167th ( Columbia Presbyterian) is pretty calm now and with a nice mix of people. But if you can handle it, fine.
Probably your best video in a while, seems like your showing actual apartments not an apartment that’s rented out per room for people to live in to make it affordable
Dear Cash: For the Rest of us in America, these Apartments feels NORMAL and we Approve 😂🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥💚...... If I ever lived in New york, I will want to live in these apartments, because they are cheap even if the neighborhood is kind of sketchy to some, but I was born in the ghetto, so I will fit right in LOL
The valve flush looks like it leaks profusely when flushed in the second apartment. In the first apartment the tub tile grout is all moldy, but it can be cleaned. Both are a real steal if the one kitchen gets filled out. The support structure for those buildings is super bizarre underneath; kind of sketchy looking.
For everyone who says these supports look sketch, they've been like that for years. Bridges in NYC are held up by sketchy looking supports too but they must have made them out of some good steel back in the day!
The first apartment resembles my apartment in Los Angeles (Hollywood). Tack on another $150 and subtract about 20 sq. ft. and it’s basically a unit in my building. AND it came with a refrigerator and stove. Most apartments in LA are deprived of either or both.
Here is my experience. I moved in and got a killer deal. Cheap cheap cheap, but after only a few months they raised the rent, and then raise it again, and again, and again, and finally again. So it was no good deal, just worse then the expensive ones. I think they do it, to hook you and then screw you.
You are awesome! Loved this video. I really appreciated the look through the entire apartments and surrounding areas. I think I like the layout and feeling of the first apartment better than the second, though you are right that there is more room and area in the second one. The bathroom in the second one has much better tile around the tub - clean and neat, though I kind of like the first bathroom better. Hard to choose! That subway tunnel was so frightening to me, I could film a fantastic horror movie between that and the bus terminal. LOL
If Cash can fit in the closet, its probably right for you! If he can’t, he’d tell you to skip the place. Finally, decent apartments that don’t make you feel ripped off because they are and feel huge, rare for NY and the rent is reasonable! Though the first, the kitchen is going to be dark because there’s nothing in the window I could stand to look at! Let’s call the apartments in today’s review, diamonds in the rough.
My old hanging out with my friends neighborhood. Washington Heights. I was born there & I traveled through that bus terminal for years in the 60’s and 70’s. Taking the bus from N.Y. the GWB terminal to home in Glen Rock, NJ. Thank you for the video reminding me of much of my childhood & teen years.
I am so happy you finally came uptown!! Lol and i mean uptown as in washingotn/dyckman area. Although all of NYC is expensive, there are DEFINITELY more affordable prices above Harlem and into the bronx. I love all your videos but felt they were very specific to the same neighborhoods after a while. Maybe it was just the videos I clicked on, I know you have a lot. But I'm glad to see you expanding and finding more affordable places in more nyc neighborhoods 🥰 Bienvenidos a washington heights!
3second apartment great started. Sofa in front of queen bed. Desk in corner. Dresser. Another in closet. That's perfect. Living room with sofa/ bed lounge. Break front. Nice. .
@@virginiamoss7045 I'm thinking remove the right 2 cabinets in the 1st kitchen and vent outside. In the closet in back of the 2nd kitchen sink in the 2nd one, and have a little laundry room
@@VondaInWonderland Good idea, but it's not about the space, it's about getting venting to the outside and plumbing to and from the washer. Those old buildings often have obstacles in the way that prevent doing those things.
A lot if these older building DO have laundry in the basements. Not sure if these had them or if Cash was aware if they did. But if they don't it's enough space to put your own washer & dryer in. There's plenty of decent inexpensive apartments like these around NYC. He just starting to show them. I know because I'm a native New Yorker, who still resides in NYC!!!
Both are very nice. The bathroom in the second one has a neat tub Although, the floors in both are nice too. New appliances, who would have thought!?! 👍😊 Great video! Definitely some winners there!
Nobody said upper Manhattan- and yes 1000 on that area it’s a regular thing because it’s far , it’s like finding an apartment for 700 at Coney Island area why ? Same thing very far . I used to live in that area and was a nightmare
This neighborhood is Washington Heights. Yeah, "In the Heights" neighborhood. The Bus station is Broadway & 178th Street. The medical center NY Presbyterian Medical Center is 168th Street & Broadway. It's always good to have a hospital facility near you. That long long subway tunnel is Broadway & 191st street the IRT #1 train. BEWARE...one way in, one way out. It's been named the "worst subway entrance". It's worth to walk a few extra blocks to get to the "A" train which is express during rush hours. Don't forget the picturesque Fort Tryon Park. A good running park. It has the Cloister Museum. Yes, there are plenty of grocery stores, some choice restaurants & 2 post offices, one @ 181st street & 190th Streets. Check us out! It's worth the tour.
The apartment is great. As a woman though, that tunnel to the subway gave me an irrational fear, but the apartment looks great and the neighborhood is pretty nice too.
I keep telling people that there are affordable apartments here. You just have to have the patience to look. You’ll be close to necessary amenities (shopping, restaurants etc.), but you won’t be near “the scene”, which has worked for me.
hmmm the first one is actually appropriate priced.. its all you need space wise.. building is little sketch, and kitchen isnt fancy, but its good size,,and i like the layout of apt.. 2nd one building is crazy on stilts, kitchen is massive, but i dont like this one near as much as other...the bathroom is best part..
This is what you could expect in NYC in the 90s. I'm glad the landlord didn't chop up these apartments and left them as is. Not all landlords are motivated by greed.
The bx and them old Flatbush brooklyn buildings are still big like this . I swear I'm looking for a pre war building to move to.

As a former born and raised New Yorker both of those apartments are absolute gems. You can design and do a lot with both of them and for that point to have your own space is amazing. Prices like that are what rent should be everywhere in the country.
I live slightly further north a few block from these in Inwood and I always question why people pay five times as much rent for less space, while still living in Manhattan. My train ride is only 25 min to midtown and I have tons of parks.
They’re racist lol. Look through the comments. They think the neighborhood is “sketch,” which is the cowardly way of saying there’s too many brown people. Just say you don’t like people who aren’t white. Cowards.
Inwood is a very different world from Washington Heights. Inwood is lovely and the Cloisters are nearby. I lived on Seaman Avenue
Inwood and Hudson Heights, Ft. George, Washington Heights west of Broadway from Presbyterian Hospital North to Spuyten Duyvil have some of the best housing stock and great recreational areas in all of New York. It would be great if Crash showed his out of town fanbase more of this than the greedy developers hugely overpriced apartments in much more marginal neighborhoods.
Shhhh.. don’t tell anyone how great it is up here!
@@MissCane9 That’s the street I live on.
That's crazy! Rooms in that hood were going for $800-1000 a few years ago. But those buildings were sitting on scaffolding??! Gives "rents are falling" a whole other meaning . . .
Beautiful vintage parquet floors.
Far enough away from Midtown to actually be good apartments at a reasonable price. That long, dangerous tunnel is the big negative, but you also have that bus terminal, so you could even get out of the city on weekends without a car.
Wow. You are in my old neighborhood in Washington Heights. I lived off of 181st and Fort Washington Ave.
Excuse me... But did I see a "used" NIKE sneaker for sale at $250? Are you kidding me? That first one bedroom apartment for $1100/month is HUGE! It just needs a really good painting job. The second one-bedroom apartment at $1100/month is HUGE too but in better condition. (IMHO) these are both opportunities. The neighborhood is clearly gentrifying, and this is an opportunity to be brave and snag a great apartment at a fantastic rent that one could live in for years!
& real wood floors!!! Lol
@@MamaCarola1 YES!!!! The first apartment has the same wood flooring that I have with all of the detailing, and you even see how each parquet was nailed.
It looked freshly painted no where else have I seen bright clean yellow walls! Stop being picky!
At $1100, this is a dream and if you bring along a roommate… its $550 a month! A steal and its almost impossible to find a place to live where you can pay a half a grand a month in rent in the big city.
@@NormanF62 with either of them, you could divide the living area to have a roommate
A $1,000 apartment in NYC? I must be dreaming because places like this would rent for at least $2,500. I would not be surprised if someone already signed the rent agreement and moved in.
I tried looking it up and couldn't find it lol
@@maitlandjpeg Because apartments at these prices will always be snatched away in an instant.
Usually their in bad areas like this area isn’t that safe. 🥶 If your a guy living alone it’s doable I guess.
It’s in Upper Manhattan, that’s why it is so “cheap.” It starts to get expensive once you go below 96th St and even more so below 60th St.
Great to see affordable units in New York! The downside would be no laundry in the building and no elevator in the second unit building, but to be able to save thousands of dollars in rent would likely be worth the inconvenience for people who want to live there without the financial strain of the usual inflated rental prices and to live with a normal amount of space!
Love Washington Hts … this is a gem
At last! Older apartments with character that don't require a six figure salary! More of these!
Im not used to someone speaking about this kind of area so positively💜
I love it when Cash runs into a fan!
I have NEVER before seen a massively heavy building of solid brick suspended on ancient rusty stilts before. And I must admit, it's a terrifying sight. But I guess it's stood there for almost 100 years so...??? I'm from earthquake country though, so I think I'll go with building #1. It'd be hard enough for me living in unreinforced masonry without constant anxiety LOL. That said, these are both really charming old apartments and I love everything else about them. Isn't the Bronx still pretty rough, though? Are these (probably rent stabilized) prices too good to be true?
Its in upper Manhattan not the bronx and its not the safest but not the worst area. As long as there are no rodents it seems like a nice quiet building.
So if it's suspended, the rodents won't get in, right? Just like George Jetson, Living in the sky.
@@gleaming999 Rodents can climb.
Yea, the stilts look odd. Not exactly sure what the construction history of the property is. However, for $1,000? Won't complain. But there was that apt bldg in Florida last yr that collapsed.
Those buildings are about 100 years old, and as you can see there are no cracks on the floors or the walls, nor see anything warped or bent out of position. The foundation is rock solid!
I personally have not viewed an apartment in Washington Heights (where I currently live on the west side ) for $1000 in about ten years, and the one I saw was a dump with eviction stickers everywhere-but east of broadway, which is where these apartments are, in prewar walkups without laundry deals definitely can routinely be found, and maybe even in elevator laundry buildings. A little loud there, especially in summer, but housing stock can be good.
Incredible! Love these apartments!
Excellent find Cash! 😊
As a man who’s been grinding and saving the past three years of my life to move out of my home state of Utah to New York. Seeing videos like this just gives me so so so much joy and hope. I know this is incredibly
Incredibly rare but still, it makes me smile to know there’s a possibility for me. Great content Jordan. Love your channel brotha!
Just sell your car. Seriously, I'm moving to NYC and one of my friend's moved there a few months ago and he barely saved anything. Just find a job and go. Utah sucks 🤣
Oh lordy lord. Imagine leaving Utah, the new place everyone is flocking to, for New York, the place nobody is happy.
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet Imagine leaving a beautiful low cost spacious mountain clean low crime state like Utah for New York! Imagine it!
Thanks for showing low cost apartments Chase this is something Id be interested in if I was in the market for an apartment.
These apartments were amazing. Both very spacious and the prices were even better. Though both were very nice, the second one would be my choice
Near my old apartment. They are normally rent controlled which is why you can afford to live alone. Miss it!
Would take either of these in a heartbeat!
Both are spacious apartments that look in decent shape, if also dated. While the first one had an elevator it looked like Cash had stairs for the second one - how many flights? If they are really close to a subway station they would seem to be a bargain. Further downtown you get a place in an alley for your refrigerator carton at that price. Surely there's a laundromat somewhere nearby.
Let me call attention to rent stabilization in New York City. If you can get yourself and a rent stabilized apartment like these two listed here you are doing great
Wow, these apartments are true gems. Fallout shelter, original floor tile in the lobby and hallways, original moldings on the apartment walls,wood flooring, tub with a wrap-around shower curtain, original heaters, and huge windows. I bet the building has a basement with extra storage rooms, a laundry room, and the super's apartment/shop. Bringing back many wonderful childhood memories growing up in Queens.
Born and raised in New York and this reminds me of the Housing Projects, descent price point but I wouldn't live there unless I had too
#1 It's me. Hi. I'm the problem. It's me!
Hey Cash, Good morning, good morning. Can't wait to see your apartments, they gotta be cheaper than a ticket to a Taylor Swift concert. $22,000. OMG!
Yeah I'm the problem. Right!
Glad that place has character but not characters. More is not always better. Let's go back to Yokohama soon. Or wait til the Captain is about 6 months old. Love 💕 this tour. You're rockin' our world, kid!!
One gee for a decent place in NYC? I must be dreamin'!!!😆
Great price for both units. I love the charm of older apartments, but those Fogo Island Inn type of stilts, for a building that size, made my heart race 😬. I do live near the San Andreas Fault, so I suppose my trepidation is understandable. BTW, Fort Tryon Park and The Cloisters are beautiful spots to hang out!
An adult should be able to differentiate between an area with earthquakes and an area with flooding and hurricanes in knowing what is the safe way to go.
@@653j521 she was just telling her opinion and life experiences. We all have them and it's nice to hear what they are to me. It's not right or wrong.
Great job as always Cash!!! Love both places!
I think this might be your first video with rent less than mine in my Chicago suburb.
Wow a diamond in a ruff now thats what I'm talking bout 🙌🏽
Woo HOO!! You the man!
Wow this is a neighbourhood I could live in and for this price, I'd run like crazy and do a lot to get this place if I was looking for a suite! Mindblowing!
I would make this place look like a show piece. A little paint, touch ups, accessorize, textures and pillows and lighting.. oh ya. This could be a GEM. IF you're not an addict, and are invested in creativity and production.. in life.
Exactly. That's what I did to mine. With the savings in the rent per month, I (temporarily) upgraded the floors, doors, fixtures, paint and lighting.
I use to live up there on Dyckman had a huge apt for 750 in 2002.
FYI.
This is Washington Heights/Inwood.- Post Pandemic
That subway tunnel Should tell you everything you need to know.
I know the area
It's LOUD (This used to be the cocaine capital of the country. They sold it by the pound)
Be mindful of Drug dealers doing business on every block. Random shootings are commonplace and you wouldn't want to "catch a stray" (bullet)
There's also trash everywhere, much of which doesn't make the cans and it's also fairly isolated.
However, Riverside Drive is nice and Washington Heights south of 167th ( Columbia Presbyterian) is pretty calm now and with a nice mix of people.
But if you can handle it, fine.
@C. M. Wonderful cause I only buy POUNDS
@@user-wo7dl6tb2q There you go,,,
Thanks for the tip
Probably your best video in a while, seems like your showing actual apartments not an apartment that’s rented out per room for people to live in to make it affordable
Love the apartments but not sold on the neighbourhood That tunnel gave me the heebie-jeebies
Cash you are such a joy to watch.
Dear Cash:
For the Rest of us in America, these Apartments feels NORMAL and we Approve 😂🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥💚...... If I ever lived in New york, I will want to live in these apartments, because they are cheap even if the neighborhood is kind of sketchy to some, but I was born in the ghetto, so I will fit right in LOL
The white people go to Riverdale. This is Spanish Harlem with hard working Dominicans.
And riverdale is overpriced. West of broadway is same price as riverdale and about 30 mins faster to midtown.
This is Washington Heights. Spanish Harlem is 116th area, east side , further south.
Wow! Great find! Couldn't believe that you've never been to the heights 😆 but glad you're getting around! 😃
The valve flush looks like it leaks profusely when flushed in the second apartment. In the first apartment the tub tile grout is all moldy, but it can be cleaned. Both are a real steal if the one kitchen gets filled out. The support structure for those buildings is super bizarre underneath; kind of sketchy looking.
When u have a toilet like that u know it’s good
For everyone who says these supports look sketch, they've been like that for years. Bridges in NYC are held up by sketchy looking supports too but they must have made them out of some good steel back in the day!
The first apartment resembles my apartment in Los Angeles (Hollywood). Tack on another $150 and subtract about 20 sq. ft. and it’s basically a unit in my building. AND it came with a refrigerator and stove. Most apartments in LA are deprived of either or both.
Here is my experience. I moved in and got a killer deal. Cheap cheap cheap, but after only a few months they raised the rent, and then raise it again, and again, and again, and finally again. So it was no good deal, just worse then the expensive ones. I think they do it, to hook you and then screw you.
...that is what I was thinking...
updates?
You are awesome! Loved this video. I really appreciated the look through the entire apartments and surrounding areas. I think I like the layout and feeling of the first apartment better than the second, though you are right that there is more room and area in the second one. The bathroom in the second one has much better tile around the tub - clean and neat, though I kind of like the first bathroom better. Hard to choose! That subway tunnel was so frightening to me, I could film a fantastic horror movie between that and the bus terminal. LOL
Absolute steal. I'm so surprised to see something like this exists in NYC
Very impressive! You’ve done it again! Very nice vid.
If Cash can fit in the closet, its probably right for you! If he can’t, he’d tell you to skip the place. Finally, decent apartments that don’t make you feel ripped off because they are and feel huge, rare for NY and the rent is reasonable! Though the first, the kitchen is going to be dark because there’s nothing in the window I could stand to look at! Let’s call the apartments in today’s review, diamonds in the rough.
My old hanging out with my friends neighborhood. Washington Heights. I was born there & I traveled through that bus terminal for years in the 60’s and 70’s. Taking the bus from N.Y. the GWB terminal to home in Glen Rock, NJ.
Thank you for the video reminding me of much of my childhood & teen years.
That's what all NYC one or two bedrooms should cost in nyc - fairly priced but haunted.
I LOVE the yellow!! The first building is just my style, i adore vintage decor and the floor.
I am so happy you finally came uptown!! Lol and i mean uptown as in washingotn/dyckman area. Although all of NYC is expensive, there are DEFINITELY more affordable prices above Harlem and into the bronx. I love all your videos but felt they were very specific to the same neighborhoods after a while. Maybe it was just the videos I clicked on, I know you have a lot. But I'm glad to see you expanding and finding more affordable places in more nyc neighborhoods 🥰 Bienvenidos a washington heights!
Don’t be snitching! Girl this is why gentrification happens just look at brooklyn
3second apartment great started. Sofa in front of queen bed. Desk in corner. Dresser. Another in closet. That's perfect. Living room with sofa/ bed lounge. Break front. Nice. .
Both were nice but I would go with #1 . The building had an elevator. It was darker than #2 but I would get over that. Great video Cash.😊
That's a good ass deal 🤝 what a heartfelt management that runs the housing company!!! That's worth your money to be honest I like it 🙌🏽
Wow! Mind blown. There's even room to put a washer and dryer in both of them, that is an awesome way to go to NY ♥
There's room, but is there plumbing and venting?
@@virginiamoss7045 I'm thinking remove the right 2 cabinets in the 1st kitchen and vent outside. In the closet in back of the 2nd kitchen sink in the 2nd one, and have a little laundry room
@@VondaInWonderland Good idea, but it's not about the space, it's about getting venting to the outside and plumbing to and from the washer. Those old buildings often have obstacles in the way that prevent doing those things.
@@virginiamoss7045 It was a nice thought tho
A lot if these older building DO have laundry in the basements. Not sure if these had them or if Cash was aware if they did. But if they don't it's enough space to put your own washer & dryer in. There's plenty of decent inexpensive apartments like these around NYC. He just starting to show them. I know because I'm a native New Yorker, who still resides in NYC!!!
Washington heights! I went to school there. I am Dominican so these are my neighborhoods
That tunnel is a perfect trap for opportunists, i ain't taking it after the sun goes down for sure.
I have many times when you get off the trains there is almost always a ton of folks getting off with you
Not even when the sun is up.
9:45 that's kinda scary 😅
Both are very nice. The bathroom in the second one has a neat tub
Although, the floors in both are nice too. New appliances, who would have thought!?! 👍😊 Great video! Definitely some winners there!
One of my firm rules is I never live in a building held up by ski poles.
Until you realise its bigger than all the luxury apartments Cash has shown us in NY!
Nobody said upper Manhattan- and yes 1000 on that area it’s a regular thing because it’s far , it’s like finding an apartment for 700 at Coney Island area why ? Same thing very far . I used to live in that area and was a nightmare
Welcome to Ghetto Fabulous!
10:32. Notice that is the sound of a toilet leaking water all over the bathroom floor
That first apartment door 🚪 opening sounded like you were entering Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory.😃
This neighborhood is Washington Heights. Yeah, "In the Heights" neighborhood. The Bus station is Broadway & 178th Street. The medical center NY Presbyterian Medical Center is 168th Street & Broadway. It's always good to have a hospital facility near you. That long long subway tunnel is Broadway & 191st street the IRT #1 train. BEWARE...one way in, one way out. It's been named the "worst subway entrance". It's worth to walk a few extra blocks to get to the "A" train which is express during rush hours. Don't forget the picturesque Fort Tryon Park. A good running park. It has the Cloister Museum. Yes, there are plenty of grocery stores, some choice restaurants & 2 post offices, one @ 181st street & 190th Streets. Check us out! It's worth the tour.
0:42. Impressively ready for any crime you want to commit, especially at night.
For some reason, watching these ideas really make me want to move to NYC😉❣️
They both are great.
This is Gonna b so Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Sunday😀….
Thanks!!
That scaffolding holding the building looks scetch af
Like WHAT, how is this even legal in a first world country, this seems crazy to me
YES. I literally exclaimed "WTF?!" I have never seen an unreinforced masonry building on stilts before. That's some crazy shit LOL.
@@Tarycon Are you an engineer? Do you know what is legal around the world? Or are you just a scaredy cat? :)
The apartment is great. As a woman though, that tunnel to the subway gave me an irrational fear, but the apartment looks great and the neighborhood is pretty nice too.
Probably both gone by now. Great places.
I keep telling people that there are affordable apartments here. You just have to have the patience to look. You’ll be close to necessary amenities (shopping, restaurants etc.), but you won’t be near “the scene”, which has worked for me.
hmmm the first one is actually appropriate priced.. its all you need space wise.. building is little sketch, and kitchen isnt fancy, but its good size,,and i like the layout of apt.. 2nd one building is crazy on stilts, kitchen is massive, but i dont like this one near as much as other...the bathroom is best part..
Best value I’ve seen on your channel… pretty damn legit for $1g
