Back in the day, apartment life was all we knew in NYC. If your parents or grandparents were lucky enough to have a rent stabilized/controlled unit, you hung onto it for dear life..lol. This is a beautiful apartment in an excellent location. I love it!! A friend of mine had his apartment passed down from his parents and it's huge!!! 3 bed/2 bath, Living Room, Dining Room, Sitting Room, enormous closets, and wait for it....a swimming pool!!! Gotta love it!! His apt. is rent controlled and he pays the bargain basement price of $625 a month!!
the apartment is gorgeous, her parents are smart for keeping the apartment, she's blessed for sure & she's grateful for it, loved how she designed her home, the combination of the vintage pieces with modern fixtures are perfect. I love that she does DIY, she seems like a nice & grounded person.
new yorker here: unless you have a family member in the city with a rent stabilized price like this, you're not gonna find a two bedroom for that low in the upper west side. A studio? It's doable. Definitely recommend looking for more affordable neighborhoods, or looking into living with a roommate or two (also wanna note that it's important to do some gentrification research before living in the city and make sure you're aware of the history/cultures of places you move to)
right! like someone moves from ca to ny and capitalizes off the high interest of Ny appt youtube tours but doesn't actually understand that this is not how $1300 new yorkers live at all :(( feeling a disconnect rn but there's def room to learn

I get you, but I don't think this is privilege. This is just a benefit of being a native New Yorker. I wouldn't consider a family of 3 who was living in a small NYC apartment for likely almost 20 years privileged.

I SO loved this video, Elena. The beautiful apartment, the personal style of the decor, the gorgeous area of New York and most of all, the LOVE Hattie has for her home, and the history of her family, (as well as, the area). She is definitely blessed indeed, but sincerely grateful, which is lovely!
I love this channel for the aesthetic cultivated by the renters and in places throughout the city. The comment section shows how different everyones paradigm is. The comments here illustrate how privilege (and lack of privilege) impacts everyone, myself certainly growing up without any. It's really interesting going through this comment section specifically.
Just my two cents but maybe consider changing the title so that the “rent-stabilized” part shows up before having to click on the video? That aside, great apartment tour. I’m very happy for her! She seems very grateful and humble and it’s lovely of her to show us her space. Charming “Mrs. Maisel” vibes. :)
What a beautiful, historical place. I love what she's done with the decor, and features like the long hallway and dumbwaiter and high ceilings are so nice!
@@bre7931 It's not nearly as different as you think lol. But nobody's talking about behaviour anyway, we're talking about buildings. 1890 isn't even old. Those buildings were built with central heating, electricity, running water, etc.
Absolutely love her home as my design inspiration is also Parisian apartments with an eclectic mix of old and modern, and I love her mix of light and dark spaces where she’s chosen her paint colors intentionally. My boyfriend and I are renovating a 1950’s house in the south and it’s pretty bland architecturally, so I’ve been anticipating when we’ll get to add molding and details to bring some interest into the house. My goal is that even without furniture it will still feel cozy. Also everybody talking about her privilege should at least still acknowledge she’s made the place her own and she’s not ignorant of her upbringing. Everything has a story or familial context. In my opinion she’s very grounded and actually pretty humble, and I am very prone to disliking select homeowners of home tour videos bc some of them come off pretty ignorant or are just pure flexing without any personal investment or interest in their space.
You can read whatever you like into this statement but speaking as a lifelong New Yorker and super, long-time resident of this very same neighborhood it goes without saying that privilege has its benefits and what’s fair or just is relative to one’s social status.
Why do i feel like people are more willing to forgive this than having parents who help you buy an apartment? It really is no different. It's all luck and privilege.
This apartment feels as big as a house, but you made it a home. I'm a Bronx native and left NYC in 1990. No apartment I've lived in since, had the charm of my old NY apartments. You are fortunate to be able to live in a place so inexpensive, large and historic, for most of your life. You've made your home evolve from being your parents' home, to your grown self's home. It's a treasure.
Really not appropriate to title this this way. This is a special circumstance that wouldn't apply to anyone else. Most people are never going to be given a rent stabilized apartment from their parents.
The esthetic of this apartment is so luxe. The decor is a big part of it, but the bones of the place also help, like the wall moldings and the double doors. If I lived there I would literally never go out lol
Hi there, working New Yorker here who does a lot of apartment research and this is actually under my budget for a salaried job that pays more than I need. Just a note: probably should change the title. A beautiful watch but very misleading if you’re trying to communicate realistically with your viewers. This is a special deal and advantage she got.
True. She should probably add a disclaimer in the title but all her videos in this series have that title so she probably just didn’t think about it. Plus they immediately say in the video and description that it’s rent stabilized
Rent stabilized apartments are not rare. There are 1 million of them in NYC. What is rare is one that is this cheap and this big and this location and this fabulously great. She is lucky that through a quirk in the system that this apartment is so cheap.
I loved this video. This apartment is so beautiful and it was so cool to see someone who's family history is rooted years back into NYC. I feel like that's rare! The title was also not misleading at all. It explains exactly that, a rent stabilized apartment for $1300. I love the history backgrounds you always include in your videos! Very cool.
I can understand why y’all want her to change the title because it is a bit misleading but some of y’all are being just mean. It’s one video out of the entire series where she shows an apartment that is rent-stabilized and was first rented years and years ago. She just wanted to show the perspective of someone who grew up in New York and still lives there now. No reason to call the series unoriginal now just because one video isn’t exactly the same as the others. While it may not be the most helpful in terms of managing expectations for people coming to the city, it’s still interesting and it’s a beautiful apartment to look at
To add to this, she does clarify within less than a minute into the video that the apartment is rent stabilized and that’s a rare thing in the city. So even if people clicked on the video with an incorrect assumption- they would be informed properly right at the start. Just saying, Elena is a pretty responsible TH-camr. ❤️
I love the details of the apartment, it’s beautiful, but the title is very misleading. An incredible 2-br apartment like this in New York City would be at least $4,000. Especially in Manhattan.
My parents and most family is from NY, but moved to California before I was born and I love seeing NY apartments. They are always cozy despite being in the middle of chaos. I love this apartment and the way she decorated it. It has a ton of personality.
Your apartment is beautiful. I love what you have done with it. I looks very vintage. You are definitely blessed. What an Amazing apartment. Thanks for sharing.
That rent for nyc is INSANE. I love the decor, this is class. Btw I pay $310 USD for a beautiful apartment here in Mx, 118 m2, a balcony, 3.5 bedrooms (one of them is a bedroom for the "service" that I use for storage because this is not Downton Abbey at all), laundry room, family room, a huge living room/dining room, a nice kitchen that can hold an isle and a vestibule. It use to be expensive (for mx) 10 years ago, but not anymore!

@Brandy Sulay There's a lot of inv-estment options (real estate,stock, Crypto,ETFS) but my best advice ,get a professional that will lead you into a profitable one..
This is amazing. It’s such a good deal and very nice. My aunt pays $1500 (in 2012) for two bedroom apartment in Stuyvesant Town. It’s more expensive, smaller, and almost downtown while you’ve lived in Upper Westside with just $1300, so nice!
I am on the upper West side too! My apartment is rent stabilization as well!! I’ve been here 26 years. I have a doorman, two bedrooms, terrace overlooking Central Park. And I plan on leaving it to my daughter as well! But I’m gonna be coming and going! with that being said, she has a big apartment. My room is a nice size. And I’m not gonna even tell you how much I pay! 🤔😉😂😂
I saw a tour of this apartment on another channel. I love the way Hattie decorated. I like the idea to cover the main entrance door with wallpaper. Beatrice the cat is beautiful.
Love the apartment! I like more of a modern aesthetic but this is very well done. She isn't lucky, she is smart. I have seen people thumb their noses at apartments or homes offered to them. Especially if it's in NYC hold onto it. Had she said no to her parents she would be expressing her regret over a glass of wine.
Blair Waldorf vibes. I live in a 400 sq ft studio for $1800 in San Diego. Very cool place though. I am curious, does your family own this place and you pay mortgage for $1300? Or this is just a lease?
It is a rental. NYC has a legal system on some housing called "rent stabilization" that is a somewhat complicated rent control system. This woman inherited her apartment from her parents, she was allowed to take over her parents lease. What she has is extremely rare.
It looks like a blessing but it's actually a curse because you will never be able to leave that place, you are tied to it for life. And if you do leave, you always regret giving it up.
(this comment will only make sense if you’ve seen Hotel del Luna, sorry!) She can always use become the newest owner of “The Guest House of the Moon." ;) Actually you know that’s really not a bad idea. I think Jang Man-Wol would approve. :)
She can leave it whenever she decides for something better in the moment. She has lived there her entire life and may actually want to raise a family there. I’m a native New Yorker and if I could live there for that money I would never leave.
These videos are so so interesting to watch and seeing how expensive life is in NY is just crazy, i think if you would rent this tipe of apartment in Latvia it would cost 500-800€ But this apartment looks huge!!!
Beautiful apartment! It inspired me to spruce up my apartment. That said, this is not what $1300 gets you in any NYC borough- ESPECIALLY Manhattan lol. I know this was past down to her and it’s rent stabilized, so it works for her, so no shade whatsoever. I pay $1200 for my studio in an Upper middle class enclave in the Northeast Bronx (I mention upper middle class because a lot of people think the Bronx is one big slum but there are so many different spots in the Bronx that people don’t know about). It’s not the largest apartment but I have a sizable yard, which is cool lol.
Rent will more than triple when she moves out. It’s beautiful. I think she did her own TH-cam tour.. Passed down from parents, but who owns the building/property?
I love seeing these glorious aspirational apartments but I think I preferred the earlier episodes of the series where it was real people hustling to create a life in a small apartment with several roommates...it's definitely more true to life and more fun to learn from.
it's so true what she said about not just walking into any mall and buying your entire aesthetic...i went into a Five Below for the first time ever today and after mostly thrifting for so long it was so disorienting?? idk consumerism is crazy
hii! i love your videos! i think that including like a simple floor plan drawing of the space would also be super helpful to understand the layout of the place! :))
I'm mind blown because I've seen so many Houses and so many videos of houses that give and old school or Parisian vibe that I like. But I fell in love with this. I also love what she has done with the space. And 1300 for that apartment is worth it. I wish I could afford that, moreover I wish I lived in New York in the first place. 😭 But I love the way you created the video, it showcases the house so well. ✨✨ As always, love the series. 🥰
this apartment looks similar to ones in uptown manhattan ..like spanish harlem and buildings in the bronx on the concourse. im speaking from experience that apt look very similar to mine
Everybody goes on and on about how she is gifted the apt, but can we just talk about the decor! She did an amazing job, it’s gorgeous! She did an amazing job mixing vintage with modern.

yess omg!
Omg you're so right!!
what a gorgeous hallway
Thank you!
This is amazing. It’s such a good deal and very nice. My aunt pays $1500 (in 2012) for two bedroom apartment in Stuyvesant Town. It’s more expensive, smaller, and almost downtown while you’ve lived in Upper Westside with just $1300, so nice!
I am on the upper West side too! My apartment is rent stabilization as well!! I’ve been here 26 years. I have a doorman, two bedrooms, terrace overlooking Central Park. And I plan on leaving it to my daughter as well! But I’m gonna be coming and going! with that being said, she has a big apartment. My room is a nice size. And I’m not gonna even tell you how much I pay! 🤔😉😂😂
Amazing. Glad your daughter can benefit from that too! This is unheard of in England
This is my favourite apartment on Buzzed in so far
What a stunning apartment! It’s a perfect blend of contemporary and vintage
Thank you!
@@HattieKolp You really did a great job.
Holy crap! Such a beautiful apartment and such a steal 👏🏽👏🏽 her parents are so smart and thoughtful for being able to save it for her! So nice!!!
She is good energy. I love her style
All of the places you've shown are gorgeous and they all have their unique style but this one is just GOALS 😍😍😍
Ahh thank you so much!!!
i feel like i have FOR SURE seen hattie's apartment somewhere before! this is a dream space, great video elena!
This is the coolest series.
I saw a tour of this apartment on another channel. I love the way Hattie decorated. I like the idea to cover the main entrance door with wallpaper. Beatrice the cat is beautiful.
Thank you!
I saw another tour of her apartment and I’m having major deja vu
Omgg sameee
I'm paying $2,660 a month for a 500+sqft studio in Weehawken, NJ omg
Just wow! This apartment looks stunning 😍 Cozy, but still spacious and the design of it is just amazing 👏🏼 And it is rent-stabilized, like what?!?! 🙂🙃
Thank you!!!
It’s so hard to believe this mansion of a apartment in NYC is ONLY $1300
I love this! This is so so smart of her parents!
The amount of time I said “wow” watching this.
I love this episode rocks!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am unspeakably jealous! You did such a good job!
Love the apartment! I like more of a modern aesthetic but this is very well done. She isn't lucky, she is smart. I have seen people thumb their noses at apartments or homes offered to them. Especially if it's in NYC hold onto it. Had she said no to her parents she would be expressing her regret over a glass of wine.
I would cry every day haha
Omg this apartment is absolutely lovely 😮
thank you!
Blair Waldorf vibes. I live in a 400 sq ft studio for $1800 in San Diego. Very cool place though. I am curious, does your family own this place and you pay mortgage for $1300? Or this is just a lease?
It is a rental. NYC has a legal system on some housing called "rent stabilization" that is a somewhat complicated rent control system. This woman inherited her apartment from her parents, she was allowed to take over her parents lease. What she has is extremely rare.
wow she decorated this apartment beautifully
Excellent video nice apartment
Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn around Brooklyn Heights got several antique shops that sell furniture.
It looks like a blessing but it's actually a curse because you will never be able to leave that place, you are tied to it for life. And if you do leave, you always regret giving it up.
So effin true.
Plus she doesn't even own it.
(this comment will only make sense if you’ve seen Hotel del Luna, sorry!) She can always use become the newest owner of “The Guest House of the Moon." ;) Actually you know that’s really not a bad idea. I think Jang Man-Wol would approve. :)
She can leave it whenever she decides for something better in the moment. She has lived there her entire life and may actually want to raise a family there. I’m a native New Yorker and if I could live there for that money I would never leave.
Yeah, i'd hate living in the same place forever, but it'd be hard to say no.
These videos are so so interesting to watch and seeing how expensive life is in NY is just crazy, i think if you would rent this tipe of apartment in Latvia it would cost 500-800€
But this apartment looks huge!!!
for NYC this appartment is very cheap lol
That apartment in Dallas, Austin or Houston would all be over $4000 a month.
This apt must be like 10k-15k a month..
My jaw dropped when I saw the intro clips, what a beautiful apartment!
her place is gorgeous and idk what it is about her but she has such good energy, she j seems like such a genuine person
AWWW THANK YOU! ❤️
This is the most beautifully designed/decorated and curated home 😍 such a cool story! I followed Hattie instantly. Love love love. Thank you Elena! ❤️
Aww thank you!!!!!
I have seen this apartment on like 6 different channels 🙌
Your hair is incredible
I love the Buzzed In series!
Beautiful apartment! It inspired me to spruce up my apartment. That said, this is not what $1300 gets you in any NYC borough- ESPECIALLY Manhattan lol. I know this was past down to her and it’s rent stabilized, so it works for her, so no shade whatsoever.
I pay $1200 for my studio in an Upper middle class enclave in the Northeast Bronx (I mention upper middle class because a lot of people think the Bronx is one big slum but there are so many different spots in the Bronx that people don’t know about). It’s not the largest apartment but I have a sizable yard, which is cool lol.
That apartment is massive by NYC standards.
Rent will more than triple when she moves out. It’s beautiful. I think she did her own TH-cam tour.. Passed down from parents, but who owns the building/property?
This is the part I don’t get. If she can pass this down, how does the landlord get a return on his investment?? So confused
@@JamesCM86 Tax benefits, probably. Still, they're making less than they would at market rate, but such is life.
How can the only bathroom be near the butlers pantry? That bathroom was for the help, what happened to the original bathroom?
I love seeing these glorious aspirational apartments but I think I preferred the earlier episodes of the series where it was real people hustling to create a life in a small apartment with several roommates...it's definitely more true to life and more fun to learn from.
Its that same girl from the MNBC 😅😅 she really loves showing off her apt i dont blame her
it's so true what she said about not just walking into any mall and buying your entire aesthetic...i went into a Five Below for the first time ever today and after mostly thrifting for so long it was so disorienting?? idk consumerism is crazy
Beautiful big apartment amazing
hii! i love your videos! i think that including like a simple floor plan drawing of the space would also be super helpful to understand the layout of the place! :))
I have one on my instagram! :)
I'm mind blown because I've seen so many Houses and so many videos of houses that give and old school or Parisian vibe that I like. But I fell in love with this. I also love what she has done with the space. And 1300 for that apartment is worth it. I wish I could afford that, moreover I wish I lived in New York in the first place. 😭 But I love the way you created the video, it showcases the house so well. ✨✨ As always, love the series. 🥰
thank you so much!!
keep that house in the family.
Where did you get that white bench?! ahhh
my favorite tour so far - I want to see that original 1870's kitchen tho!
This is the style I go for in the appartment I moved in this week. Thank you.
I just moved out and got an apartment after straight up BINGING your videos for 2 days straight hahaha so addictive!!
I love how her blouse matches the aesthetic of her 19th C. art. Beautiful space.
Yes clicked so fast making my NYC dreams come true, thanks for showing a more affordable example.
this apartment looks similar to ones in uptown manhattan ..like spanish harlem and buildings in the bronx on the concourse. im speaking from experience that apt look very similar to mine
Everybody goes on and on about how she is gifted the apt, but can we just talk about the decor! She did an amazing job, it’s gorgeous! She did an amazing job mixing vintage with modern.
