- Would you rent an apartment in NYC’s Chinatown that Nobody’s ever lived in? Thats what people who see today’s apartment(s) are faced with… and nobody’s said yes yet. I wonder whats keeping these apartments in one of Lower Manhattan’s coolest neighborhoods vacant?
Rent the first 5 apartments from Alex: abruniusqp@gmail.com
Rent the last 2 from @CharlesMunroe (click about me in his profile)

I would never live in NYC with these insane rents but I love watching your apartment tours and your humor is one of many reasons I come to watch your videos.
Even us New Yorkers can’t afford NY rents 😂😂 it’s sad it’s new money buying up real estate that has to pay their loan so the rents have skyrocketed!!! Old money and a lot of “the old timers” are gone now, this is the new New York with new money.
I live in New York all my life. Can some of you tell the price differences in other places? I’m very curious
I think that could be phrased, “I could never afford to live in NYC because I could not earn the insane qualifying salary.”
@@jayhechar0053 Yes, prices for houses are way up in general. The difference is you can buy a house on acreage, build equity and have something to show for spending that much every month.
I am a New Yorkers and I am not paying that high rent. 🙃
How can you call all those chopped to pieces places apartments. The one place didn't have a living room so it should be rented as sleeping rooms. It's a shame that these once nice livable places have been destroyed for greed.
It's a finesse.
Exactly my sentiments
Does anyone else get that nervous tingle when Cash just boldly steps out on those tiny metal "balconies?" Some of us New Yorkers always worry of metal fatigue. He's bold.
Scares me almost every time he gets out onto those things!
Standing on the big patch of pigeon poo was bold.Especially without a hat on.
pigeon pooooop
Always afraid it's gonna go crashing down
As a fellow New Yorker I agree 😭
As a female, I would never rent an apartment that had multiple access points. Those doors that lead to hallways from the closet or from bedrooms into the communal basement creep me TF out.
As a female who's been in a fire, those multiple access points become multiple *egress* points. YMMV.
@@figmo397 I actually work in emergency & disaster management, you're not wrong. I would just prefer to be on a lower level and one door, then to have multiple doors with questionable locking mechanisms. People forget that when they are looking for an apartment, they also need to be thinking about how far they would have to go if there was a fire and the building was filled with smoke, or how many flights of stairs to their apartment, or how often their neighborhood floods, or how likely it is that the building would collapse in an earthquake, etc.
@@figmo397 Just shows how most of these places have been chopped up to create tiny room units at a high rental price.
Just think about what you'd need to do in a fire (or flood?) and you might feel better. If I lived in those places though, I would definitely install brackets and a big solid wood or metal bar to block the extra doors when I am not using them. So I can go out, but others cannot come in.
As a male, I would never rent an apartment that had multiple access points. Those doors that lead to hallways from the closet or from bedrooms into the communal basement creep me TF out
The first apt. is literally a hallway.
NYC, Railroad Apartment
They need some rent control laws on the books. This price gouging is out of control. Love your videos!!!
I know that's right 😏
you can't give some of these away
Great vids, horrible prices...lol
Yes I keep thinking. I mean, a single square space they call a "studio" for $4,000 a month??? You've got to be earning upwards of above $10,000 a month, only to rent this shit space, which after taxes $1,200 - $2,000, you'll only get $8,000, of which $4,000 is used for the rent, and that doesn't even include utility bills, transport, food and household necessities... fuck man why the hell would anyone want to get ripped off like this
Yes everywhere now. We need to petition for all big cities or suburbs with large amount of rent gouging.
Rent for all apts are borderline criminal 😂
Criminal doesn't even cut it
🤭🤭
The fact that the city allows it at all just tells me that the building owners are all in politics.
The fact that people don't just stop paying or leave the city entirely is bewildering to me. I cap out at 1.5k for a 1br not because I can't afford it but it's just a small space without anything added. Maybe if you offer maid service and room service I might start thinking it's worth an increase.
Owners overcharge criminal prices because they will ALWAYS find fools that will pay it which affects everyone else and keeps the Crazy prices high. Move out of Manhattan, find another job
I've gotten to the point that I love when you slam the doors on the appliances knowing how many people you're triggering.😂😂😂😂
Lol
I get triggered when he walks into a clean tub/shower with his muddy shoes.
Me too!
@@ceeletter5772 The new renter wasn't going to clean it before use?
🤭🤭🤭🤭
Born and raised in NYC/Brooklyn from 1940-1966. Owners of these buildings were mom and pop investors - rents were very low - and they kept the apartment buildings clean. The landlord actually came out to ur apartment to collect the rent. Today, the RICH own us - and they could dice-up a 2 bedroom into a mini-4-bedroom and charge $$$$$$$$$$$$$. They're very connected - that's why they call a windowless room a bedroom. My downstairs bedroom is 11'x12'. CASH calls this size bedroom "a good size." I call my downstairs bedroom "SMALL." Those mini-kitchens where there's no room for a table - what the heck!!!!
A voice of sanity!
Being someone in Africa where apartments in the suburbs have a huge sitting room its so interesting to see how narrow the spaces in NYC are and for that astronomical price
Sunday morning having some coffee with Cash and nearly choked on my coffee when you said $7,000. $7,000! A month?! 😱
I live in NYC and even I can’t fathom this price.
I know, and that place water isn't included.
i know ! lol
Those prices are ridiculous. At this point, might it be cheaper to just rent a hotel room?
Yes and they come with hot and cold running maids.
Jokes aside, I lived in hotels in the Village as a single man in the summer of Jackson, I mean summer of love 💕 right near Washington Square where teeny bopper runaway chicks sat on stoops and blew bubbles at the passers- by in their colorful Carnaby Street garb.
People do, but it's not like home.
Nooooo, hotels are expensive too!!
@@653j521 Home is where ever you hang your hat. However,
if you don't have a hat, you are officially homeless. If you have a dog while homeless, he will think he is on the longest walk ever. None of us will ever be apartment -less as long as Cash Jordan is on the job. You go, Cash!!
More like a van down by the river. Literally.
You asked for funny comments. Here goes: My friend drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how his Mercedes bends...... I was wondering why the ball was getting bigger. Then it hit me....... I can’t believe I got fired from the calendar factory. All I did was take a day off! 🤣❤
You remind me of when I worked at a fireplug factory. I couldn't park anywhere near the place.
Wow...😆
Hell to the no for that $7k apt.!
Cash, the weird mechanical unit in the closets are combi boilers, or tankless water heaters as I believe they are called in the states. They are far more energy efficient than the massive water heaters that are typical in the States. Normally, in the UK, they are a lot tidier than that, in face one of those seemed to have the piping spread out far more than neccessary, and they are usually boxed in. Most people have them in their kitchens in the UK. They give hot water on demand and are great if you have roommates or a large family because everyone can shower without running out of hot water. I have no idea why they've taken so long to become more mainstream in the States. Nearly every where I've lived in the UK for the last 23 years has had one.
Xzavier: We’re starting to see tankless heaters gain popularity but industry is still touting the old tank water heaters. Also, what they charge for installation is usually pretty high considering the basic simplicity of installation. Europe and Asia are ahead of us on efficiency and quality. A similar situation is our RV industries - lousy construction, cheap materials, poor design etc.
I’m in the US and about to replace my failing 1997 (!!) water heater and put in a tankless. Excited for the efficiency we’ll now have.
Yeah that installation is just horrendous! Obviously had no idea how to install one!
We have a "tankless" hot water heater in our home. Ours only has a total of three pipes attached to it, though (plus the gas line). I don't know what the crazy spiderweb of pipes is for the ones in the video unless...maybe each one is serving more than one rental unit!?
Yes! Definitely true
Good afternoon Cash. People need to stop making rooms without windows they can become a death trap
Unit #1: For $7,000/month you get several flights of stairs to walk up, a very small kitchen and a very, very small living area, miniscule closets and a cramped bathroom to share. Yes, there is laundry, and a rooftop deck to retreat to when you run out of air in that small apartment. Unit #2 is apparently a two bedroom, and since one of the rooms is for vampires it should list for a much lower price. I'll reserve judgment on the two unfinished ones, but the $9,000 alleged 4-bedroom apartment may only have two legal bedrooms. One in the cellar has no window (a clear violation) and the other's "window" is accessed by a grate in the outside deck, probably not an adequate egress. Aren't there any inspectors for these places? (BTW, those mysterious units in the closets are your heat/hot water boilers, so you're paying for that.)
The apartments that Charles showed us have reasonable kitchens and overall much more square footage. They're pricey, and I wouldn't pay that much for a sixth-floor walkup, but they are better apartments otherwise - excluding the possibility of damage to slammed appliance doors.
That windowless room may save your life in the event of a drive -by.
Solution: Just install a outdoor camera that would give you a "window" to those fly by night gangsters.
Eventually cars won't even have windows. Just cameras and monitors that deliver a reasonable facsimile of reality. Power goes out? Oh well, that's life in the big city.
Another exciting video from Cash. I await them like I used to await the release of a new Beatles album. Why is that?
@@jacksonmorganfroghin4815 The law states there must be a window in the bedroom, no matter how many drive-bys there are.
flood zone drown in the basement no thanks
Basement "bedrooms" in this & some of other Cash's videos look both depressing & illegal. Win-win! At least the monthly rent in NYC apts like those isn't too high.
@@angelbulldog4934 Thanks for sharing. I had no idea about that particular law.
There is absolutely no way I could ever live somewhere that rent is that high! But for some reason I just love watching your videos! Been with you for a few yrs already and I rarely miss a video. I start my day with you! The apartments that have bedrooms with no windows would be a code violation in TX. All bedrooms must have a means of egress. Thank you Cash for all the tours!!
Yup I watch high rent videos and high limits slots. Watching them blow $5K less than 5 min is totally insane. NG slots gives me ulcers watching him piss it away.
As I've often said/texted - New York City's as great place to visit, but I couldn't afford to live there ! 🇺🇸💀
@@paulsuprono7225 Yes. We remember. But do keep repeating the same one thought. Don't come up with new ideas. It's too much of a strain. :)
Minimum wage is 15 dollars an hour which goes up pretty consistently.
@@teamofone1219 well i guess that explains it..all those ppl making 15 an hour are ruining it for the rest of us ...😱🥴
My college dorm room in the ‘70’s had more closet space then the apartments you showed today. They probably smelled better though..
Like Charles's two bed best!
Me too
If one opens up a "massage parlor" in one of those apartments as a second job they may just make the rent.
😆
So nice seeing you and Charles. That apartment looked promising if you had a great roommate. Still, those rents are mind boggling for the space.
That last unit would be my fav. Small table in the living area, and then spend most of my time in the bedroom or cooking in the kitchen.
I would call that last place a studio, since the bedroom is so big.
It's wild that I feel convinced that 3,100 for a one bedroom is a good deal for NYC when I know it's overpriced as heck, yet I still feel convinced. The power of influence eh?
I think it should be labeled a studio.
Except it has no usable living space. That "living room" is a giant unusable hallway.
@@christinahek I agree. The so-called 'living space' made me feel claustrophobic & I'm not a claustrophobe. If it was a foot or two wider then it would be nice & worth the money.
That last 1 bedroom, I'd just put a small table in the "common" area and split the bedroom area into a bed/sitting space.
The last place I would treat like a studio. Just put the living room in the ‘bedroom’ where there’s space. An office in the larger part of the common area and than eating space close to the kitchen.
If your closet is smaller than the stall shower, it’s not a walk-in.
As usual, Charles listing is the best one.
Every time I watch your videos I'm more and more thankful that I live in the midwest!
Mystery thing in closet looks like hot water on demand.
Thanks!!!
My thoughts exactly.
Or an alien spaceship.
The common space in the last apartment is what we call a hallway in Texas.
What do you call culture? :)
@@653j521 Some of the best museums and opera in the world.
New york rent sucks but Cash you are fucking awesome
Agreed
1) One thing that can't be denied is the absolute need for modular sofas that one can break apart and arrange as the space dictates. Quirky layouts and room sizes force renters to be flexible. I mean, like for real, freestyle.
2) Charles Munroe is the Silent Ninja of cribs. He finds the dopest spaces!
Sofa called Love Sac is what you want.
Whenever I see Charles Monroe I know his apartments will be good.
Why?
And expensive.
@@MissCane9 I'm guessing they said that because he's such a class act. 😊👍
New York city is ridiculous now 3 bedroom for $3000 I'm 3 hours away I have a 3 bedroom single family house my rent is $850 and I have 2 full bathrooms basement and backyard smh
you must be live upstate ny
Yeah I live in Canada and I don't understand why they let those rent prices to be so high, I thought 1250 a month for a 2 bedroom was high over here, nevermind lol
@@Gravetacular Capitalism vs. socialism?
I can’t afford any of them but I have to thank you for your videos because I used to think my house was small. Now, it’s a mansion by comparison. Also, those living rooms aren’t living rooms, they’re small dining rooms to me.
I especially liked that one "balcony" with all the pigeon droppings - true city living. LOL
That last one was much bigger in a prior life! A chop job! The “common space” is a corridor! What a joke!
I like how Charles called that Blue Door, the Matrix door! I was waiting for Keanu Reeves to appear!! Love your videos Cash, Beth from Minnesota!
Cash! I’m from Georgia and we’ve gotta talk about your definition of walk-in closet! 😂🤣
😂 i thought the same!
Tiny "common space" = "hall" that's a studio with a separate kitchen. Put some hooks up and that's it! Did this comment make you chuckle? Charles and you are entertaining. Last stand-up duo!!
Love the apartment you showed with Charles.
The viewers need to start a gofundme to buy you new pants.
I know this is a different space but is interesting legally what can we define as an apartment because in Toronto from my understanding you can’t have a basement apartment without a specific number of windows or secondary exits other than the door to the rooms because its a fire hazard
The same here in Denmark...and the window has to be able to fit a 150 kg person/an ambulance Stretcher...
@@nelliebly6616 yea idk about the dimension requirements but yea that makes sense
Nobody has asked why the entire building's fire escape ends in a locked courtyard...
@@bryduhbikeguy right
@@bryduhbikeguy It's probably a Trump apt building.
Is it legally a bedroom if there are no windows, or if the window cannot provide egress in case of emergency?
No.There must be an 2nd 'emergency exit' from every bedroom.Notice that nobody has commented on the Building's fire escape ending in a walled area with a 10-12 foot wall with a door that opens to a steel plate?
Nope, my old apartment was labeled as 1 bedroom because the 2nd one didn't have windows and it was also an apartment that was cut up I didn't know until my neighbor had told me.
As a real estate appraiser I cannot count a room as a bedroom unless it has a window and a closet. A room without a window is a storage space.
I enjoy your videos. I love New York, only visited once. I live in NM, and my mortgage is only $1400 a month for 1900sq, 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, huge kitchen, living-room and den. 2 car garage and a gigantic backyard.
The NM that is near the bottom on every livability list? Should be less than that.
@@653j521 ah, but you've never seen the sunset. spectacular!!
Looks nice without furniture, super narrow ( foldable furniture). Call Charles he probably knows how to fix the beeping sound. The last apartment seems better but no. The kitchen half and inch from the front door nope.
If I was a NYC realtor reading these prices and specifications I would laugh every day.
My ribs hurt
@@CashJordan is this sarcasm lmao
I would cry
In New York City the realtors will tell you 'it's a great deal!'
I really liked the second to the last apartment the most! The backyard space and both bedrooms and kitchen where really nice! 👍🏾
Dude, just follow Charles around. He will find you one of these fake doors from Rick and Marty 😂😂
I think the only person that could afford these apartments is the bathroom tile sales rep since they all seem to have the same tile 😂
Good morning all,
Winnie the Pooh would live in the smallest apartment. Plenty of space to put his jars of honey in the refrigerator. A small table where his friends could eat at, and a big enough bedroom for all of his friends to sleep in. Plus a dishwasher so he could clean all of his dishes. The tv would be in the bedroom. Plus a big enough bathroom for his necessary business.
Cute
Wow! To all of them. They all have their pluses. But I have to say my favs are the 5th one of Cashs and Charles' first one. They bother are equally great c the most possibilities. Like court yards and the 5th one I believe had a spiral staircase which I love but Charles'court yard was a smidge better although smaller.than the other. Charles court yard I would take that door off and put a top to bottom Picaso "painting" out of broken glass and China..just sayin ☺. All around good one guys! You both have a fantastic day! Thanks again!
I hope Charles works at your brokerage firm . He always brings the good stuff!
Well slap my face an call me Whoopi Goldberg I’ll be a damn snickers bar
🤣🤣I haven't had enough coffee for this comment 🎉🎊🥰
Tankless water heater
Thank you!
I often wonder how you get furniture down a spiral staircase to downstairs (or upstairs) bedrooms. (Dresser, couch, queen bed etc).
That's probably why they left the extra door to the hallway down there.
"This guy with the Porsche can't parallel park, Ah that's why he's got Jersy plates". Price-less! How true is that and you aren't even from NY! Love it. That first hallway I would never.
I definitely liked the two Charles Munroe apartments the best. The kitchen in the first of his two was better because it had a gas range rather than electric (do you make anything besides coffee?).
Re: the "four bedroom" apartment, can that one room legally be a "bedroom" with no windows? I'd be afraid to use that room for anything but storage. I'd also imagine that the pricier apartments with more bedrooms would be harder to rent out because you either have to line up enough people who can pay or make enough money to live there...and if you made that kind of money, you'd probably be looking to buy a place rather than rent.
Why buy when your company has only sent you there for a few years?
@@653j521 Because it's NYC and when you turn around and sell it, you will almost certainly turn a profit. Seems like the sky's the limit there, no matter what the real estate biz is doing.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ NYC rent is totally absurd these days. I use to live in NYC, but I was transferred due to my job to Hawaii & thank God they pay my rent.
Now if someone in Hawaii had the same deal, an even swap of talent could be arranged. :) Might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
The first one you toured with Charles was the best of the bunch, and that's still not saying much.
In today's episode of "don't even think about living in the lower East Side", Cash shows us why leaving NYC for North Jersey never gets old.
You didn't go far enough south. 🙂
leaving NYC for anywhere is good sense.Before the trolls jump me born in NYC educated until HS in NYC. I knew the streets Mott Pell Canal Court like the back of my hand. I ate at restaurants no English spoken long strips menus in Mandarin. I ate sea slug sea cucumber beef tendon turtle duck inards et al before it was coo l.Bowery was the original flop house neighborhoods before gentrification , Never again too dangerous
@@richardschneider4775 where’d you move to
That’s why they complaint about they rent now
Lower east side was and is still one of the worse parts of nyc to live in
Yey 7 tours today! First and last apartments were my favorites!
Again Cash....the reason rents/real estate prices are astronomical is because of covid. Everyone fled Manhattan for Ohio or whatever and now the want to come back to the greatest City on Earth! I never left, and my rent is fine and I'm still very healthy!
Wayne Gray
My insomnia made it possible for me to be this early again 🤣
Love the 1st apartment from Charles! They put the fridge doors the right way, and not a beverage cooler in sight 😂. It's nice looking but it's not the cookie cutter design I see in almost all of the newly refinished places. It's got some character to it. I didn't see laundry in the unit, that's the only downside.
I think I love Charles.. is he single 😂 I would almost relocate to nyc to date that man.
Sorry, he’s not single but
NYC is a huge place, I’m sure you will easily find someone else to fall in love with, good luck ☺️
I live in the northeast section of Kansas where we are close to where there are foothills so not what you typically think of when you think of Kansas. My four level home on a wooded three quarter acre of land 4 bedrooms and three and half bathrooms and two car garage and a small barn has a mortgage payment I thought was crazy at $1,781 a month. Then I found your channel which I LOVE to watch and gawk at the prices in NY before I go downstairs to my in home office and work away as a mortgage underwriter. The extraordinary prices there make me wonder how the typical person could afford NY. Really love starting the day with one of your videos. Makes me appreciate my cost of living like never before!
I have been to Kansas twice and I keep telling people not all of it is flat. There are small, rolling hills, but they tell me to shut up. I'm glad someone from Kansas finally confirmed my observations! By the way, Topeka is a lovely city. The John Brown mural in the capitol building nearly brought me to tears!
Charles' listings were by far the better ones. I really liked the secret garden apartment, but the price tag for NYC is insane.
Sorry Cash, the rent is too damn high!!
And its' got a SINK SPRAYER ! 😃
A slip and slide, a fridge that opens on the New York side, shot gun bedrooms, a suck in your gut shower, potentially a roof top garden to schlep up pounds and pounds of soil, all for 7k. Yeah buddy
Lol! 👍
Excellent use of the word "shlep".
Hustle and Flow, that's an instant hot water heater tankless hot water on demand. I have OCD with beeping noises too 💜
$7k for a crap apartment! Out of control! I’m glad I live in queens in a prewar! Gesh!
Also I’d expect these prices in a doorman building not a walk up!
Chinatown is the last hot commodity left in Manhattan anywhere below 96 Street. All eyes are in the neighborhood! Since deBlacksio mayor, City has been secretly working with their choice of developers to cut down Chinatown in halfs by 2030, and completely disappeared by 2040!
The boxes in the closet with the pipes are European water heaters, it’s more efficient than keeping a tank full of water and constantly reheating it, instead it’s able to sense that you want hot water, and it will almost instantly heat up the water running through it. Plus it’s safer since it won’t blow a gasket and flood your apartment after 10-15 years.
Here for the humor - the sarcasm creeps up on ya and I find myself chuckling just a tad late! :) LOVE IT! Love ya Cash!
Tiny bedrooms, no natural light in the living rooms, no elevators! Exhorbitant rents! Yeah! Great places!
I absolutely cannot fathom these prices! Our rental in Iowa have gone up, but a three bedroom, one bath house, with washer and dryer AND a nice, big yard won't cost more than about $1,200 a month. I absolutely love your videos. You are so funny, but there's no way I could live afford to live there.
I actually really like the last one! I like the unusual bathroom setup. It's got a good kitchen layout, a gas stove would be nice though. I would use whatever space there was in the "living area" for a small table and chairs and use the bedroom for a TV. 14 feet could possibly fit a small sofa/loveseat along with the bed. What a great variety of places!
It's $7000, but it has floors. 😆
I don't understand HOW anyone can afford to live anywhere but the gutter in NY. My mortgage and utilities are $800/month, 4 bed, 2 bath, 1500 sqf. Eeesh.
Awesome 15 minute video Cash👍
Over 2200 views in 20 minutes. Who's the popular one in New York. More people visit you than the Empire State Building.
No elevator at those prices?
I don't think the movers are going
to like it!😂
Your videos are getting better and you seem happier and more confident !
1:00 haha am i a psychopath, when Cash said this hose comes with water i thought "Oh you could spray people down below" 😆
Here you come again with these $7000-$8000 a month/apts. I never hear any of the buildings have parking. Outrageous!
Your favorite kitchen is my favorite too!
I truly use you as a nation wide guide to what is happening in the housing market. . true enough Mid west is dealing with the same thing. . except my town of 1,100 people a half hour from Madison and a hour and a half from Chicago. . I could sell my house just with a facebook post and crazy it is standing strong while the market is changing around us.
Imagine paying 7k split 3 ways to live in an 8 by 10 room lol
Those landlords are completely insane. The rad covers and pipe covers in that one place are perfect.
Actually they are smart and making loads of money 🤷♀
I don’t plan on living in NYC, it’s far to expensive, but I love see these apartments
Gosh, I'm dizzy Cash from rushing around all those apartments! I only liked the second last one, the rest left me cold for a variety of reasons. Not a big fan of China Town either but as usual you made me laugh.
You guys are the best!
Thats not a common space that's a HALLWAY. LOL😅
The second building has many bells and whistles at a better price point. Lots of good restaurant and garden spaces nearby. LR is very roomy. Bath is decent, with nice built in medicine cabinet. Closets are roomy. Nice accompanying garden space.
The third place is too small, but roomy bedroom and roomy kitchen help. Bathroom is oddly shaped. The price is relatively cheap though.
I pay maybe slightly more than half Charles’ 2 BR apartment… and I pay MORTGAGE…NOT RENT!!! (I have a 3BR 1 BA. And I’m in the most expensive area in the US…. Yup! NOT NYC… SF Bay Area!!!
If I could afford it though, I love Charles’ 2 BR!!! Lots of room. Everything makes sense where they are. And it’s right in Chinatown so I can get my cheap dim sum, bakery and HK style milk tea.
