A BIG mistake is moving during the winter. You might get lucky and have no issues, but man, picking a date in winter to move, only to end up moving your stuff in the middle of a blizzard...yeah, that really ain’t it. A move is stressful enough, but rough weather will only make it worse.
Another great video Jon! Great advice, I agree with everything you said 100%. A couple of thoughts: 1. NYC has great tenant protections because two thirds of the city's population are tenants! 2. Couldn't agree more about not living on the ground floor. It's worth the schlep to a higher floor - you get more light and more privacy (and fresher air!) 3. Even if you're an introvert, go out of your comfort zone to try to make friends with your neighbors. It can make a world of difference in your overall experience. How about head over to Schmackary's, shell out some money for some cookies and pass them out to your immediate neighbors?
A ground apartment tenant right here. We lucked out though. Our unit faces the back of the building and actually opens to a private yard. We were concerned at first, but it ended up being totally worth it to have our own private outdoor space. We have room for some yard furniture AND a little grass area for the dog. This also means we don’t have to always take the dog on a walk when she has to go. A huge advantage for those cold or rainy days. We live on the UWS.
I actually moved to my current place without seeing it in person. Turned out great, and I’ve been here for two years, but definitely agree that I wouldn’t recommend if it can be avoided!
I live in a 1st floor apartment in Manhattan and I gotta say, you're right. But the upside is the convenience to bring my big wheel e-bike in and out again and again all day after charging it without going upstairs. Also, going to the store is a cinch and UPS doesn't leave my stuff in the 1st floor hall, they knock. Another advantage is that I can run my business easy here bcuz my customers just come inside and leave out the front door. They prefer that in a town full of walk ups.
Avoiding noise is an art in the city. I’d say it involves not facing highways or busy streets, distance away and up, and number of neighbours 😀 Btw Lemonade is good stock investment / is on my watch list.
Don't live above a restaurant, bodega or supermarket unless you like vermin in your apartment. Also, I like living away from any subway entrance since it's quieter and less hectic.
Omg this timing! I’m moving in July. Thank you for the tips! 😄 I decided the best way for me to find a place is to stay in an airbnb for 2 weeks while searching for apartments with a friend! Now the hard part- finding a job haha!
U should apply for unemployment until u can get a job , u will be accepted w no issue , & don’t be scared we are nice just mind ya business & keep it moving 😩😂💯 .. u can also do hha they are hiring for hha’s like crazy cuss of covid !! The job part is the least of ur worries make sure u have atleast 7-10k !! I suggest 10k , studios/1200 , 1bdroom 1350-1500 , not including lights !! So just save up & have a plan !!!
Actually, my son got a job before moving to New York last Thursday (he was an elite hairstylist and a member of a design team, won an award recently with his design teammate for their avant garde collection. Their mentors won the award for the styling collection. To get a job with a celebrity stylist, he self-demoted to assistant, so that makes his earnings suffer. He'll have to get a second job.). The problem is that he did not research living in New York, finding an apartment, tenant screening, income requirements, etc. The Airbnb is recommended by a lot of NYers.
Agreed. I moved to 2020 Broadway when I first got here in 2015 as it was central to the dance studios I frequent. But I was paying market rate for a rooftop terrace and an elevator. Three years of that drained my savings but it bought time for me to find the perfect place to make my permanent place (now in Morningside Heights). Now in my new hood, is cheaper food and bar tabs, I'm 50 ft. from a subway stop, Hudson River Parkway 2 blocks away. I know many of my co-op neighbors and there's a sense of shared-interests in keeping the building in good shape. The only reason I'd leave is to live back in Europe. If you wanted quiet, then move to Muncie, IN. We're here BECAUSE of the noise because that means the city is ALIVE.
Great tips as always Jon....especially about location and not renting on the ground floor. It's the same as buying a house. It's always better to buy a lesser house in a fabulous location than having a beautiful, luxurious house in a bad neighborhood.
I live in a ground floor apartment in Manhattan. I will NEVER take a ground floor apartment, again. Prewar building, the noise and smell from the lobby, the upstairs neighbors, the street all seem to concentrate into our apartment. Not to mention any pipe/water problems flow down into your home. I speak from experience...
I always love the fan suggestion. If a fan drowns out something that would keep me awake either 1) there's no actual noise or 2) I need a quieter fan. Fourth of July in Brooklyn and Cinco de Mayo in Hoboken were the only things that ever disturbed my sleep and they went on forever. You forgot "Don't bring too much crap". Figure out what you THINK you absolutely MUST keep, drop it down to about 1/3 of that then reduce down.
John I work in a building in Park Slope for 25 years . When it comes to moving make sure the mover has a Certificate of Insurance because the property manager superintendent and coop board want to make sure the mover has it . If the nover doesn't have the proper insurance. The move cannot happen. Plus most moves and deliveries are Monday-Friday 9-5 no weekends and no holidays. I live in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn. The neighborhood great to my opinion. Fishing boats 2 little blocks away. There are supermarkets, restaurants, B4, B36, B49 that goes thru the heart of Sheepshead Bay. The B44 and B44-SBS Starts in Sheepshead Bay Knapp Street and it goes to Williamsburg. The Train Station Sheepshead Bay has the B and Q trains. Sheepshead Bay is a safe neighborhood. It is Patrolled by NYPD 61 Pct and is covered by FDNY Engine 246 and Ladder 169. When it comes to comes to garbage and recyclables. We all hear that noise of Sanitation Dept. Great video.
Many apartments in Manhattan are reached by elevator. The elevators in NYC are old. They malfunction and they break down. They can be down for months just waiting for a city inspector to come and recertify a repaired elevator. You'll be walking up and down 10 flights of stairs to go to the dentist, go to the store, go get a drink, etc.
I wouldn't allow my landlord "repaint" my apartment if they had to. Look carefully at a new apartment with fresh paint. Hinges are painted on doors and cabinets instead of being masked so they're not painted. Imagine all your stuff being covered with flecks of paint -- they will paint but it's up to YOU to protect the contents of the apartment. Be careful of what you wish for...
I actually hate the 1 month rent cap on deposit & prepaid rent, cuz that makes a lot of ppl not actually qualifying for a good apartment, and for many others a guarantor's insurance would be the only choice. The problem is, from what I know, at least the majority of a guarantor's insurance premium, which can be 0.5~1 month rent (I'm international with no credit record so it was 0.9 month GROSS rent.), will mostly never be returned, even if you've always paid your rent on time and didn't do anything that violates your lease agreement. Whereas for the prepaid rent and security deposit... At least you get them back later. For rent you pay now and you don't pay later. And for security deposit, even if you end up not making your apartment clean enough and you got 'fined', the fine amount should be the same no matter how much deposit you paid for. I mean of course paying too much rent in advance and too high of an upfront cost can be an issue. But at least can I have a choice between that and a guarantor's insurance which the money is forever gone.
Be prepared to be the only tenant paying market rent for your apartment. Every other tenant will be getting Section 8 or some other kind of government assistance. Once they qualify they never leave a subsidized apartment.
Number one rule in moving to NYC should be don''t think you can just move here & find an apartment because it takes months to get into an apartment unless someone you know owns the building otherwise stay where you are until you have keys & lease in hand!
Thanks for these tips, Jon! I'm currently in NYC trying to find the right apartment, to move in July or August. Didn't realize that most of the apartments available are for immediate rent!
Major mistake I made was 1. Not insisting broker come up with more rental options did not really like the place but time constraints and being semi related to broker add to this 2. Making sure I get legit copy’s of rental agreement the broker only give copies of application and there was nothing from the landlord at all at the end of the day I got scam out of my deposit and last doing a personal home room situation try for apartments and make sure the application includes itemize list of what you are paying and list of agreements from landlord don’t give a dime w/I this
I’m wanting to move in New York City at the end of January next year …. How soon should I start look for an apartment? I’m a part of many New York City apartment pages on Facebook. I prefer not to have a roommate and am already aware I’ll probably have to move away from the city and be in an outer borough. I won’t have a car, but I have two cats… my budget is $1200 right now, so I know I may have to suck it up with a roommate… but what is your advice? Do I start searching now? So if I need a roommate I can start talking to them? When would I take a trip to visit? (Preferably this year because of my vacation time with work) I was thinking early November.
But if I'm in California and I'm moving to NYC, how tf would I see the apartment without spending a boatload on a hotel or something, and not even being guaranteed that I get it. Then flying back OUT to california to pack all of my bags and such and spend stacks on movers to move things across country then FLY BACK to NYC. Some tips and advice on that would be nice, Not all of us have 5k on hand just to fly and view some apartments and start the process.
I bike everywhere, so I don't care about the subway. My current place is right next to the subway, and I haven't ever been to that subway stop in the 3+ months I've lived there. I feel like I'm wasting money being so close, since rents are generally cheaper if you're further away.
Great video! Do you have any tips for people looking to move to NYC short term? I'm looking to do a 6-week internship next year but I'm not sure where to look!
Hi John. I have a question i think alot of tourists will be asking now...how much is a PCR covid test in NYC? Europeans need one before we leave new york.
Important thing to know if you want to move to the city. Know your right's, because every apartment complex will try to scam you. What a wonderful city to move to.
Do you have a video about the various rights and responsibilities that a tenant has in NY? There is a whole lot of things I have never even heard of --which I suspect is American stuff, which is different from Europe... Or just a NY thing. (Like needing some kind of papers to rent a place. When I lived in Roehampton and they used a real company to deal with lettings, I needed to show my passport. When I rented privately near Camden, the landlady didn't so much as ask for ID. And that was London, not a small-town.)
All landlords in NYC wanna know is can you legit pay your rent so they do a thorough background credit check and will also verify you have the income you claim you have coming in via your job otherwise they will ask for a co-sign or guarantor
**Well done just Amazing thank you for sharing yet another FANTASTIC upload with me. Will def be coming back to see you again for more great content******Wishing You A Beautiful Week Ahead**,,,,,,,,
As far as #10 is concerned, do not worry about the noise. People who bought houses in Queens in LaGuardia's fight path are an example of "getting used to it". Sure, you might became a neurotic bundle of nerves but that's when you can finally call yourself a True New Yorker.
Huge history buff here. Love New York, massive Yankees fan. However my favorite period in history is the American Revolution. But because of the British destroying the city it forced New York to rebuild and most 1700s New York history has been lost to time. But, is there anything left of New York’s British occupation or revolutionary war days? Where can I find it if it does exist.
Castle Clinton in Battery Park was built in the 1700's. The small blockhouse in the northern part of Central Park, up on Harlem Hill, was built for the War of 1812. There is a site in lower Manhattan which has plexiglass set in the sidewalk where you can view a foundation stone of a 1600's-era Dutch tavern. There is plaque in Brooklyn Heights showing where George Washington briefly lived, and there is a sign in a church in Lower Manhattan where George Washington went to church. There is a plaque on a building at Cooper Union in the East Village showing where Abraham Lincoln gave a speech when he was a candidate for President.
I prefer to be an expat than move to NYC, preferably to Madrid or Lisbon. In Europe, people take care of the subways free from dirt and social deviants.
Are people moving to NYC? It seems like people are moving out of NYC with remote work becoming an option. Why pay a ton for a box when you can keep quality of life elsewhere?
In the Bronx or Brooklyn if you nock Doors and complain about loud Music you'll get your ass kicked. Nobody really cares about noise complaints. it just makes you look like." Hi I'm a hipster and I'm takeing over the block". Natives Don't Like that! ... It will not end well for you .
Moving there in 6 weeks!! Everybody’s experience is different. You get out what you put in. NY isn’t for everybody but it’s a really great place. Don’t listen to the negative comments.
The biggest mistake of all...not making sure there's always plenty of space between you and manhole covers in the sidewalks and streets because of the danger of... *CHUD* ... Particularly at night. A moment of carelessness, a short remaining lifetime of regret.

That time savings of living near a station really adds up fast. Changed my life going from 10-12 min walk to 2 min

In the Bronx or Brooklyn if you nock Doors and complain about loud Music you'll get your ass kicked. Nobody really cares about noise complaints. it just makes you look like." Hi I'm a hipster and I'm takeing over the block". Natives Don't Like that! ... It will not end well for you .
Moving there in 6 weeks!! Everybody’s experience is different. You get out what you put in. NY isn’t for everybody but it’s a really great place. Don’t listen to the negative comments.
Pay no attention to the rising crime folks 🙉🙈🙊

A moment of carelessness, a short remaining lifetime of regret.

The very first mistake is moving to NY! lol
I would mind rats less if they seemed that clean and brought their own disco balls.
Do not rent an apartment on the ground floor. Please don’t do it
1st mistake == moving to NYC.
NYC ain’t worth the time and effort to move in
Cause of all the stuff that’s going on right now
The list goes on and on…….
for any male who are looking for roommates, my greatest advice avoid female
You need to have a million dollars in the bank MINIMUM to even think about moving to New York City.
If you are not a woman, I don't want to know my neighbors.
Great tips!
Thanks Jason
