it is. But honestly, for what she's paying is a mortgage in one of the outer boroughs. She may feel like its worth the money but its not. Most of the people that pay for this amount of money, really just wanna live in these overpriced areas
Audrey Lee right. I live in NJ, which isn’t far from NY. For the amount of money she’s paying for a ONE BEDROOM (So sad because that price ain’t right) you can get a 3+ bedroom apartment. And even a 3 bedroom is around one thousand.
Y'all, she lives in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in NY, and probably splits the rent with her partner. I'm so tired of seeing people in the comments shocked by NY rent prices. It's Manhattan! Your rent pays for more than just your space. You're also paying for location and all the awesome things that come with living in NYC (food, art, culture, etc).
I’m a native New York and I don’t think these high rents are necessary. I’m tired of the “it’s New York” thing. Not denying why rents are so high because in that sense you’re right- location, arts, culture. I’m simply tired of people paying stupid amounts of money to be near yoga studios and coffee shops and Whole Foods. It’s corny, overrated and expensive. All that said, her apartment is super cute but her cat is the best!
lol it's call a metrocard; i live in brooklyn and can still enjoy most of the things she does in the city at a fraction of the price for a much larger space. of course it's her and her partner's money so if they can afford it then good on them. i hope they have an actual plan in place for future though especially if they decide to have kids, etc.
This is a neighbor behind heavily gentrified - the reason the prices are so high is to price out people who have been living there and to replace them with people who will willingly and can afford to pay an outrageous amount of money for “cafes and culture and art” you can get that experience anywhere New York is not unique
@@bronxkies yea but you probably live in the Bronx so who cares cause you dont undertstand. She is downtown where EVERYTHING(work, shopping, groceries, bars, club, movies, gym) is by walking and will not be paying for a car, car insurance, gas, repairs, uber etc.
This is actually a steal for the size, most people who don’t live in nyc don’t get it. She’s in a prime convenient neighborhood and the real estate is insane. Trying to buy a place in nyc is almost impossible without some kind of help cause putting down a down payment for a good sized apartment in a good neighborhood close to the subways is $$$$
Not true. True about buying. It’s a nightmare. But that place is not big enough to warrant almost $4000. I’m guessing she lives in the West Village or upper Manhattan. The location is what she’s paying for, not that tiny space.
Feedback, just my opinion. I don't watch these as often as I used to as I want to see more apartment and less head shots of people talking about themselves.
I'm not sure if this series is about that. I've viewed it as a story telling piece of how women are carving spaces for themselves in the world. I love to know about the person as much as apartment. It's not just an apartment tour.
I feel like there could a be a better happy medium. I think the story of the people is what makes the space (and there series) more meaningful, but the space itself can also be displayed more to show the design elements.
Honestly, this was my favorite episode to date! I love this girl's attitude and sense of humor. The apartment is lovely and really seems worth the price considering the amenities and location. Get it girl!! 🧡
One of the best Sweet Digs eps! Hong is hilarious! Can't stand the price of the apartment (fellow NY resident and understand it's normal but the rent prices here are out of control). That aside, her bedroom is huge! Love that her style is not overly curated or artificial, but super charming and real.
Living in the best neighbourhood, can't beat that, outdoor parklike space -- perhaps job interviews in the future somewhere?,,, other applications if they decide to move, social status, living with kids... I would say these argument of hers is exactly like I would think myself,,, dress for the kind of life you want 😎
Y’all don’t realize how great this price really is for the west village!! Almost always there’s a big spike in rent for having pets as well. And that apartment is in AMAZING condition, that bedroom is HUGE with an amazing closet. They are literally in such short walking distance from everything they need too.
I think it's awesome that you've been there for 5 yrs already!! So many people in NY move around a lot!!! My daughter has the same sense of humour you have.... I LOVE it!! lol I agree that the light that comes in is awesome!! Also, like how you used the couch as a divider in your main living room. Your photography is beautiful too, it's nice that you display it. Your bedroom is HUGE!!!! Also, do you really have a dog or are you joshing us? lol where was he also what kind of dog is it? I love dogs. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.
I really love the personal touches of this space. Her sense of humor is adorable too. I did balk at the price and the small kitchen, but the bedroom, living room and outdoor space make up for it. Lovely apartment.
Adorable qruiky personality. My family marvels that I laugh at my jokes, yet it takes me a minute to get their jokes. However, I laugh just as enthusiastically when I finally get theirs. The apartment has personality and light the same as she.
Not even enough space for a dining nook. She's clearly getting ripped off. Sure it's a nice-ish location but honestly NYC is not as special as New Yorkers think it is. You'd have a much better quality of life and pay way less (even save money for rainy days, imagine that) in other vibrant cities of the world.
I appreciate her for letting people think NYC is that ridiculously expensive. Leaving me to scoop up incredible spaces in incredible neighborhoods for 1/3 of the price. This chic is insane.
Hong is adorable and her home looks cozy. Love it. I'm not sure i would pay this much but she seems to love her apartment and neighbourhood and that's all that matters.
It’s pricy but if they like it, I love it! It seems like a lot of space for a one bedroom apartment! I like the open space of the living room and bedroom!
Lovely decor. Wish you would have shown the dog, the animal areas (for sleeping, eating, etc.), the cat box location, the full cat tree. Cannot imagine how tiny your last bathroom was if you think this narrow, closet sized one is big! Deal breakers for me, 1. No dining area 2. Only bathroom is in the bedroom 3. Located in Manhattan, far from the subway (Brooklyn, close to subway is much better!) But glad you're happy! Nice home.
I remember in high school, Hong drew a large cat on a literature quiz and wrote “this cat is hiding my answers” I’m glad YT suggested this video. She’s still hilarious 😂
I love dark & moody days too. What a Nice place. It has lots of charm. My new place has character too. Here I’m complaining paying $990 a month for a 2/2 apt in TX. I have cats 🐈 & they rule the roost here.

Wait till you see San Francisco:-)
She is lovely and the place is nice. Can I just say $45,300 a year? It might be time to buy your own. The way she cracks herself up 💁🏼♀️ cute.
Absolutely!
Multiplied by 5.. She is living their for 5 years..
Queen Queen Oh yes good point. Let me do the math $226500. 🤔
@@ohthechitchat that's quarter a million.. I dnt know if it's a lot considering NY apartments..
@@infinity-gn9xq I don't think it is a lot in N.Y. but it would be their own and the prices aren' t going down.
I've forgiven the price of the apartment because she 's adorable and like me she laughs at her own jokes.
Rs King She is absolutely adorable 🥰
+rsking She's the cutest!
Hhhhhh her jokes are mazing
Yess the cutest !
"this is the bedroom where I like to say the magic happens because...I like to cross stitch in here" ROTFL this girl is hilarious. Love her place.
Their biggest splurge was the apartment, not the couch lol.
Rachel Ann Wells period Pooh.

I'm convinced people are getting married because they can't afford their housing.
Britney Waldron This is actually sooo funny 😂
True
I have friends that stay in bad relationships longer because of this. It happens here all the time.
They can just be unmarried and still share expenses no ?
Do San Francisco, that will really freak people out.
It's Me agree!
Bahahah so true I pay the same 😭
... don't tell me it's even more expensive than New York?
Omg I seen some on apartments . Com ,,, the horror 😩💔

New York real estate is nutz
louise almost 4000$ a month and she doesn’t even have a place to sit down and eat . Crazy😂
I live in nyc there are cheaper places to live and the apartments are wayyy nicer. They just want to show the ugly expensive ones for some reason
@@biannyvaloy487 True but, she is paying for the great location. Nicer for less would mean a less desirable location.
b Philantrope It’s still overpriced by any standard. NYC is expensive but not that damn expensive.
Bianny Valoy agree I seen one in Manhattan , for the same price and much more gorgeous
That apartment is awesome and gives me idea for my future appartement and I love love love Hong's vibe and her cat.
Pay that money 4 years will pay off my student loans entirely 😭😭😭🍾
Except her money has nothing to do with you. Never understood why people put their problems out like this.
Who's fault is that stupid?
Jonathan Arent- excuse me but college is EXPENSIVE, unless you're really rich. Also she is probably not stupid because she went to college🤪
Pay that money in 4 years could've brought a house
I know right! But love her personality.🤣🤣🤣😝😝
That cat is a beauty! The apartment too. Lovely windows.
No one:
Every new Yorker on this show: I know the rent is a lot.... *but*
No one: (all of the comments)
Almost everyone is making a comment on the cost of rent
Living in the best neighbourhood, can't beat that, outdoor parklike space -- perhaps job interviews in the future somewhere?,,, other applications if they decide to move, social status, living with kids...

The cat butt magnets are so cute lol!
At this point, I hear these prices and am like, whatever man. If you can afford it, why not?
Even for NYC standards the price is outrageous. And I live in Manhattan too.

Well, she really cracks herself up.
Beautiful place!! Also - what a steal for West Village!
It’s so adorable how she keeps cracking up at herself
I love NYC but my goodness, wtff!!! that kitchen!
I liked when she said "except j/k we're not happy" lol.
Hong, your place is stunning! I love the layout and the way you have it designed. The hippo cookie jar you have is too cute (Target?)
Lovely decor. Wish you would have shown the dog, the animal areas (for sleeping, eating, etc.), the cat box location, the full cat tree.
Cannot imagine how tiny your last bathroom was if you think this narrow, closet sized one is big!
Deal breakers for me,
1. No dining area
2. Only bathroom is in the bedroom

The apartment is actually pretty spacious and I would pay that amount to live in that area. So jealous.
The cat pic in the bedroom is super cute!!!!💕😍💕😍
She had me at "store cats".

Hong has a winning personality!
Thinking about how often people in New York have to move gives me anxiety lol. Loved her personality she would be fun to hang out with!
The messing around with the cat butts lol
She is so sweet I was smiling through the whole video
Love her sense of humor! Something tells me we would be fast friends!
I’m born and raised NYer and this here is making be want to leave NYC. That’s entirely to much to pay for something you don’t own.
The kitchen sucks but that is just NYC living but the apartment is spacious and really beautiful. Great price for that location.
😂😂😂 love your sarcasm! Your place is very inviting 😎
Drinking game: every time someone in these videos says "actually"
She is adorable.
