Living in NYC’s Smallest Box-Apartment…

- This apartment seems small, but sometimes thats the price that has to be paid if NYC is where you want to live! Would you travel to Manhattan with a suitcase and rent this? Its probably the most affordable place in town, and just to make sure we compare it to a few others nearby.

Even tho the last apartment's kitchen was so small I liked everything else about it the best. The arches & the room sizes were phenomenal! Hope Kanami & baby are doing well & back home & that Violet is liking her role as big sister
Almost $2k per month and you still have to share with 3 other people, absolutely not
The rents have gone insane, with all the commercial real estate empty the city is in for a serious correction. Bedrooms are so tiny for the amount of money, who has a bedroom that's only 8 ft. wide, crazy.
@@hannahanderson4305 💯. This is daylight robbery. Why are they doing this to people? I thought London was bad.
NYC is crazy
NYC - great place to visit, couldn't afford to live there ! 😝 🇺🇲 😩
Ooo. You would have to be nice to your roommates so they don't all move out at once and leave you with the lease.
The apartments with no sun light should come with vitamin D no time to be depressed hustling to make that rent. I knew we we’re waiting for Charles 😊
The last apartment was my favorite. It seemed to be more spacious then the other apartments. It also seems to be the apartment that feels more like a mini home. I'm not big on the rent, but hey, it's New York City.
The faaaabulous alliance of C&C pull off another glowing review !!! 🥳🥳🥳👍 😂
i would love to eat keto like Charles!
I you watch his videos, or even the older ones here, you see how well it is working. He looks great!!! Every time he is in your video, he makes it better.
I also love the yellow tile- It is a happy color. You would instantly have a great day if you get ready for your day in there.
Love the last one. In-between pre and post war. Probably built in the mid to late 40's. Like the basket weave tile floor in the bathroom. Charles is king of the eastside.
Good morning Cash and Kanami. Cash I hope you prerecorded a lot of places because it's family time. Congratulations 🎉 again Jordon Family.
Really liked that last apt, with the raised area and all the windows. It's got some character and I didn't think the rent was bad either, but maybe because we're just getting used to hearing those numbers and the shock has subsided....lol.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I noticed I'm not gasping anymore when a rent it is mentioned. I was like am I seriously getting used to this astronomical shit? 😂😂
A nice 1BR place for $3K. But $4300?? A big no! Besides banks & brokerages, NYC employers don't pay enough to justify such rents.
Theres nowhere to prep food
They r pricey places but nice. R the wages high enough 2 keep up?
@@TheOldTapeArchivewell, that answers my ? Wages not high enough & seems 2 small 2 have a roommate. But they're cute!
That second to last one was good.Thanks to the layout you could get a wee two person table n chairs just out side the kitchen!
The last apartment was a real winner. Loved the dining area, the bathroom and the spacious rooms and extra closets! That foyer would do great as a home office and although the kitchen was tiny, it'd be workable if you 1. put a china/silverware cabinet in the main room 2. staged a small coffee/booze cart just to the right of the door into the kitchen itself and 3. used the dining table to do your chopping and prepping, or maybe squeezed a small rolling cart by the window/sink. Getting a custom cutting board to fit over the sink might work too. The rest of the apartment was so roomy and comfortable that the kitchen issues weren't overly important.
That one place with fuses, though! WTH?! I didn't know that was even still legal. Knob and tube, anyone? Crazy...
I didn't have claustrophobia until I started watching this channel. Last apartment was best.
CJ I want to congratulate you and your beautiful wife on the addition to your family your video are so nice for the world
Congratulations on the new little lady..blessings rain down on your family 😍
Congratulations 🎉👏 Dad, Mom and Violet welcoming beautiful Eliza, I'm so glad everyone is healthy. My only concern was I was worried 😫 you were going to start opening doors and pushing buttons in the room you and your wife were waiting in before the baby arrived. I could see you were getting antsy to check out the buttons and pull on drawer handles. You did good Cash 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The four-bedroom seems pretty well set up for a four-person share. Paying $3,300 for a small one-bedroom walkup strikes me as excessive. The $4,500 two-bedroom had a reasonable amount of space although the kitchen was a bit cozy. The slanted bar in the bathroom is for handicapped/elderly assist when using the toilet. Charles' $3,400 one-bedroom was dated and the kitchen was cramped, but the living area and bedroom were quite spacious. It was in an elevator building with laundry. The studio for $2,800 was also reasonably spacious. The last one had lots of room, and it was in a building with a big laundry room and a gym, though $4,300 for one bedroom isn't cheap.
What you're calling an assistive device for handicap or elderly is definitely NOT 1. That is just a regular towel bar. It would never pass inspection for any other use
@@MamaCarola1 I have bars just like that in my bathroom. They're bolted to studs and they are helpful using the toilet and the shower. At that angle they'd be silly-looking towel bars!
@@Bobrogers99 if you live in a private house or regular apartment put whatever you like. But if you're in senior housing or a disability unit that will definitely not pass inspection here
$4500 a month...comes with a free ac unit...Love It.
Seeing the inside some of the crappy and inhabitable apartments in NYC featured on your channel, makes my skin crawl or in some cases nails on a chalk board. Keep up the great work!
The last was the best. The dining area was unique, and I loved the arches. So much better than the plain white boxes with black trim we see in so many newer buildings.
Me watching these apartments I can’t afford: “That price is not too bad….”
Congrats on your new bundle of joy! Love your videos. You've taught me more about New York in the past couple of years than I knew in the 57 before that!
Charles’ trainee sounded so offended that someone was actually cooking. Like, don’t they know that takeout exists?! Lol😂😂😂
That's funny! Who cooks? Nobody I know. In fact, why even have a kitchen? Who cares if it's microscopic? Where did they learn that skill? There are great chefs all over who get paid to do this, etc.
That last apartment was my favorite... 2nd story on a busy street is my preference...i love people watching...
Okay the studio apartment is sort of better. The bathroom is awkward. Sink in the middle with no counter space.
Man, those NY prices are HIGHWAY ROBBERY! I'm only paying that kind of money for a mortgage! 😩
That last apartment looked awesome. Like the view out the windows.
The last two were my favorites of the day, Charles with the Clutch!
Also cash favorites like medicine CAB-IN-ET and our good friend, chipotle with the surprise cameo
It’s Rear Window - the Alfred Hitchcock classic 📽🎞
Cash, how you manage to blend "I don't know" into one word always makes me chuckle. 😂 You have a way with words.
You're more likely to argue in a yellow room than any other color but the ceramic title is lovely lol
The one with the yellow bathroom and the one right after are nice and liveable. The last one with the arched doorways is my favorite. I love the elevated room by the windows. I could live in either for sure.
I have lived in NYC my entire life. It's amazing how in the 90's a studio apartment would run you between 750 - 900. But with today's prices I blows my mind how much it cost. I mean who has the money to rent out an apartment that's at least 3000?
It's nuts! The apartments are very small too.
My brother in law found a 1 bed 1 bath rent controlled apartment for $1600 and I'm still wondering how he managed that. The place is so big we were able to visit him (2 adults in the bed, 2 kids on an air mattress in the bedroom, BIL on the couch) for several days and it was perfectly comfy. Nobody was in each other's space and his apartment is within 5 min of a train. I am still in awe of how he managed it.
Murphy bed is a must have.
I was thinking that shirt was your size too that apartment was decent. The prices in New York are astronomical
Last one is the greatest by far!! I'll take it!
Congrats on the new baby ❤
That little plant in the basement was like finding a green herb in resident evil
This is Gonna b so Cool CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Monday😀n Again Congrats🎉….
Good day to the now four Jordan family.
The best thing about these apartments is the condition they are in, most look newly renovated. Of course the not so good is the price, but to some that will be okay too.
From what I understand those toilets have a stronger flush and are less prone to plugging up. But I only know what I’ve heard. 🤔🤷🏼♀️👍
You can laugh at the 'commercial' style toilets, which flush great and I suspect save water. Toilet tanks are high maintenance, but then I'm a homeowner. Loved the last apartment.
New Dad, are you getting any sleep?
The second toilet looks so old fashioned to me. Not mounted to the wall, visible tank and just one option to flush.
I honestly can't believe how small these places are. It's absolutely unreal how some people think these places are livable then to put a extortionate price as rent on 🤯 these would never get passed in the UK. The kitchens are the worst!
I swear I wanna turn the video off as soon as I hear the high price tag 😂😂😂 but I just roll my eyes, smh, and keep watching to see how many tiny rooms they squeeze into what used to be one whole room this time lol
10:31 I hate fuses! Maybe they will be upgraded to circuit breakers?
Hearing Cash say $4,495 for a two bedroom shithole is a "good deal" is actually hilarious. Who is he even trying to convince at this point? I love New York to visit, but we all know that it's a rat infested hellworld, and anyone paying anything like these kinds of prices are completely out of their minds. The city is broken on so many levels.
Wow 😮so much going through my mind... the cost and people like my mom couldn't live in these.. no room for walkers, wheelchairs, etc . Thankful for my apartment in NC! Cool video though!!
That last apartment was great!
The last one definitely the space the price the view. Love these tours other ones I’ve seen just drag on too long.
Big up Mr. Cash congratulations and do your thing much love
Whoever manufactures that gray/white bathroom tile is making a killing. It’s in almost every bathroom.
The apartment with the baby lock on the freezer probably had a cat living in it last.. that is definitely a cat deterrent
In my world an 8x9 room is called a "closet."
Sometimes the AC sleeves are rusted and rotted out. Also you can't put a window unit in a sleeve and expect it to fit or work properly. You need an AC for sleeve installation. They cost quite a bit more.
Congratulations Cash. Sending love to you and Fam ❤️ you are hilarious. I enjoy your humor and the apartments are the Bomb
You and Charles make a good team 😊
14:00 Fridge latch is either child safety, or power outage reminder!
Some people will mindlessly open the freezer for a snack during a power outage, and ruin their food!
Now you have a new small screaming human at home can we expect lots more videos that are also longer?🇬🇧🤣
Congrats on the little one. :)
Good times, Cash Jordan! :) Solid video here! :)
That was good of you, Cash, to bring inside the package you found hanging on the door outside. With the kind of monthly rental being charged (in one instance a $7,750 absurdity for such a small apartment), there should be a manager onsite making rounds during delivery hours to do that for the tenants. I used to be quite tolerant of owners charging high amounts for a place to live in New York City. After all, it's the tenant's choice to pay the high rents. But no more tolerance for greedy landlords. NYC definitely needs effective and protective rent control across the board so that landlords (and in some cases slumlords) can't take advantage of people. It's utterly ridiculous and sickening.
Congratulations on your new arrival Cash!
Did you notice that the door on the dryer can be reversed on the dryer you complained about. Most likely the apartment not totally finished. Consider doors in kitchen.
Also most dryer doors on stack W&D units can be reversed. They come the way you complained about for side by side installation in the US outside of NYC.
Can you imagine, if Cash did a tour of the hospital. That might have been funny. But he was smart and loving,by staying by his wife side.💕
NYC apartments are wild. Any space that’s available cram an apartment into it. I’m pretty sure if my house was relocated to NYC I’d open my tiny walk in closet one day to find an entire family living in it.
3:50 Why are 99% of the NYC apartments walls painted with the exact same shade of light grey? Is it some sort of dirt cheap primer paint that cheap landlords want to use or is it just a trend?
Cash, the slanted bar may be a grab bar rather than a towel bar.
omg thats right next to my school! i dont live at the 23rd street dorms but that is so WILD that you were filming there!
You guys are fun! I love your videos❤🎉😊
9:29.. OMG Having the back door to the Chipotle right there .. I would TOTALLY get in good with the manager and have them hand me my food out the back door! Would be SWEET
Cool Videos Mate! Btw all those "across the room" pipes in NYC seem to not have a lot of acoustic insulation or decoupling 😬, but maybe there is other noise louder than the pipes.
The size of the 'huge' closet is hysterical.
Morning
KMA NYC! Left December 1982 and have never looked back!
Thank you for letting us be part of your life Why did you not buy a house in Queens I don't understand lots of good inventory Bayside some nice places
I love Cash.. 😄 Some of these weird Apts blow my mind. 😄.
Can someone explain why all these have beverage coolers? In the Midwest they don’t do that, we just put drinks in the fridge. Seems a waste of space and electricity.
I live in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 3200 square foot home, that sits on .83 acres. My mortgage payment is 515 a month. I have a huge front yard, huge backyard, deck, fire pit, detached 2 car garage, in a small quiet town 20 minutes from 3 major cities. So to me, paying 7 grand a month for an apartment smaller then my garage, is utter stupidity. I can't fathom why anyone would pay that to live in New York.
Wow this is 10 TIMES more expensive to live here that where I am from and its a tiny place to
Cute apt. Small, yes. All the apts u show r small but super cute. Fast/easy to clean. I live in the AZ desert, 2400 sqft house, always dusty, 2 big 2 clean. Nah, just kidden. I'm pretty sure I'll never be moving 2 NY but nice 2 no there R plenty cute Apts. Love seeing them. Thanx
First place was very nice
He last one has character. I'd happily live therev
$7000 for THAT?!? My mortgage is $2200 for 20 acres and a 4200 square foot house. You people are insane.
I just can't understand why anyone would want to live in such cramped conditions that cost so much money. It's just insanity. Makes my 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 2400 sq ft. townhouse for $3,500 seem like an absolute steal.
Anyway I love and adore NY videos, they are so contrast!
You’re mad heavy handed dude! Stop slamming doors and stuff!-you’re gonna break something and have to pay for it one day! 🤣😅
A 10 by 10 lounge would be a tight fit for 4 people to use at the same time,
Bathroom off my bedroom is a good bargaining chip...if your roommate's bedroom has the roof access in his 💡
That last place was the best imo
congrats dude, luv the videos even though i could Never afford them. new york is expensive.
I mean...been looking at appartements, jobs and tax brackets and yes, living in the city is expensive but no car payment and maintenance...
My mortgage is $600cnd monthly but you add the car commute to the nation's capital of Canada (35km) for $250 of fuel plus maintenance...insurance ect..
It's not for everyone but if i had start a new life....city living it will be.
$7750 for an apt with a mini-kitchen and a 10X10 living room?
Ed Koch's description of New Yorkers obviously doesn't play anymore.
Congratulations 🥂
Hi from Riverside California ♥️ it's raining here too 🤗I pay 1,200.00 for a 1 bed room apartment. Bedroom is 18 1/2 ft long & 15 1/2 wide. My closet is 3ft wide & 15 ft long. My living room is a little bigger. My bathroom is a nice medium size, kitchen is nice big size. My rent went up 2 x a year and I'm like HELP! I LIKE MY APARTMENT BUT CANT AFFORD THE COST. MY LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS BEEN HELPING ME.
Congratulations!
The Rent In NYC Is Absolutely REDICULOUS! I Live In A 750 Sqft 1 Bed 1 And Bath Apartment In AUGUSTA GEORGIA And I Only Pay $575.00 All Of My Bills Combined Is Less Than $1,500 A Month And I Have MORE THAN THAT LEFTOVER!!!
opening those tightly fitting ovens as if i would actually have the strength to angle my arms into the position i'd need to get something big out of it xD
That last one would be fantastic if the kitchen was a decent size. Why have such a massive living/dining/den space but then have a kitchen smaller than a closet?
2 Masters and a nimble grasshopper Padawan. ,💜
hello, hello
Good Grief. My camping tent is larger than those apt's. 😃
