- This Loft Is Really Cool, IF you like neck pain. Otherwise i think its great, and its in Manhattan New York’s BEST Neighborhood which is why it has a price tag mere mortals can only aspire too. Would you live here?

I lived in NY for the first 30 years of my life. When I moved away from there (2001), I realized just how far your money can go in a place where you can rent/mortgage a home for a 1/4 of that price and get 3, 4 times the space and make more money. I just don’t see the value in being single and paying $5700 for a small @$$ apartment. You might as well go get a mortgage. Ridiculous
That's why if I'm renting I'm renting managed apartments with amenities. A brownstone apartment with no furnishing and amenities makes no sense with the market pricing right now.
Even just moving upstate you can live like a king vs NYC
It really is crazy the outrageous prices of rent in NY. People would be way better off just buying a house outside of the city and traveling in for work.
@@ghaziyah2923 Part of paying that much is that you have bars theatres etc. in a 15 min walk.
@@Hepsewind but you aren’t gonna be able to afford them because your spending all of your money on rent
The massive microwave is actually also a convection oven. I have one and they work great as a microwave and as an oven. I live alone and love them because I can bake small batches of cookies, biscuits, cakes, and roast a chicken, and yes, even roast a decent sized turkey. It's an important feature of the kitchen and you should be highlighting it! They rock. Don't shortchange the details!
Especially in kitchens where space is really limited!
I thought it looked different inside when he opened it!! Metal instead of
white/plastic. I don't use microwaves & was just thinking I'd put a toaster over on the fridge 😆 when I read your comment.
Very cool feature, thanks for pointing it out
When I moved into my first dorm situation, my step mother gifted me a combi-oven. It got me though 3,5 years of student living with decent food, even if it had to be placed under the TV at one point in time.
25 years later I live in the country, have a massive kitchen and I still want that extra feature. I only rarely need an extra oven, but it's great to have, when I do.
Thanks for mentioning everything you can do with it; I've got a 288sf tiny house & am getting ready to get the kitchen finished soon & have been trying to decide what smaller appliances that I should get.🙂
@@tandiparent1906 They are perfect for Tiny Houses. They do everything a regular oven does plus they are a microwave. Good luck on your tiny home!
Don’t love it. Hate the price. And there’s *no way* those air conditioners could even begin to cool those vaulted spaces down. Love you, Cash!
The A/C will struggle and produce a massive electricity bill. For that kind of money there are better more modern apartments on the market.
I agree. For a 1 bedroom apartment, way too expensive, especially with no oven, or decent air conditioning
It’s always the location matters 🥲
@@fyanho87 Yes. Well if that's what you want to buy into. Location is great for those who don't want to or can't cook, always eating at a restaurant and hanging out every week end whooping it up. Said person must be making mad money.
I think your right about the window AC units, maybe if you can add a few mini spits AC,s it might work better.
As a native New Yorker, I absolutely love your videos. The sarcasm is spot on. Besides how else will I see these places with ridiculous rents? 😹
Lol 😂 love Cash’s humor! 🎯
How do you afford it 😭
My dad was born and raised in New York City, Richmond Hill. I don't know that I could ever live there, I'm autistic and it's a lot of people and noise for me.... but oh man I do love to visit!
@@iheartshaneandjeffree I can't afford it. I help my mom out and I live in her house that she bought in 1969. Lol.
@@wifeofsauron1658 it can be overwhelming. Visiting is enough...and I wouldn't do that right now as the crime is bad.
Charles was absolutely flying down that street! 🚴
Thank goodness Charles wears a helmet, maybe he could convince Cash to wear one too!!!
@@valerieking5265 Charles wasn’t wearing his helmet in the video when he flew past Cash.
The church looked perfectly fine and well kept...nothing creepy about it..You guys need helmets❤️🤗
Charles has a helmet. In fact he had it with him ( it was attached to his backpack) on the beginning of the video. I don’t know why he wasn’t wearing it though when he was riding. Cash definitely needs one. Everybody’s been telling him that for the longest. Even if he doesn’t want to wear it for himself he should at least wear one for his wife & daughter who loves & needs him!!!
Actually, I thought his 'creepy' comment about St. Veronica's was rather ignorant and unnecessary. It's on the historic register, and is an example of Victorian Gothic revival style. There is nothing creepy about a functioning church. Cash's comment just showed the limitations of his education about Western civilization, architecture, and the role of parish churches as part of the history of NY communities.
You guys need helmets!! ❤❤❤❤
@@pb6354 it's an objective opinion, usually based on personal experiences. You or I could find it beautiful and someone else find it creepy or just simply not like the design of it. I find it confusing that you are so offended by someone else's opinion about the aesthetics of something and go so far as make assumptions about their education. We don't all have to like or even appreciate the same thing. That's kind of the amazing thing about humans and what creates so much diversity in architecture, art, fashion, and so on.
No helmets needed. I grew up riding without one in the 70s and 80s and I still won't wear one.
It's amazing how landlords are getting away with changing astronomical rent on average apts, just because it's NY. Born and raised in Brooklyn I left 27 years ago. California is expensive as well but at least you get what you're paying for. Btw, please mention the reality of those huge flying roaches and rats that may visit the property with those old units....ijs
Or the cockamouse.
😯
😂 I grew up in Brooklyn back in the day and remember seeing those big flying roaches at my cousins house! Rats are the size of cats in the city , all that water surrounding the city and rubbish in the city! 😂
I'm in Las Vegas. N.Y is indeed expensive even outside the city as I remember many years ago. California has a very high cost of living is after N.Y. This is why in Las Vegas their are so many California license plates. However prices here are going up as well. Cash you can be my realtor first my house needs renovation 😜$$$
As a Louisiana native, roaches make my skin crawl lol they sure do love the humidity
I’m from England and love watching your videos. It’s strange to me that you find a church dating from 1887 a relic , the church out the front of where I live dates back to the 13th century and not far from where I live in a place called Escomb is a church that dates back to 670 AD . We have so many old building in the uk , I forget that in America your buildings don’t date as far back . I love seeing the differences in how people live and the different architecture. Thank you for your videos 👍
the us is also obsessed with tearing down old buildings. they don't really see preservation as a form of investment, so pretty much anything is up for demolition.
@@k_a_y_l_e_e aw that really sad I love seeing old architecture
@@k_a_y_l_e_e depends on where you live.
The church shown is St. Veronica's Roman Catholic Curch.
I like that one a lot! Lots of space for stuff. Kitchen is a little problematic with no oven. Bathroom is awfully basic for $5700 a month. Anything over $5000 per month needs to have a bidet.
That’s not a duplex, though. A duplex is a house that is divided into two separate dwelling units. Maybe the guy meant this was a split-level?
In NYC this is a duplex. Three floors is a triplex. It means that the separate floors are not separated by a fire door. A fire on one floor could spread to another floor.
@@richardhaas39 It's a split-level. These days New York will say anything,
@@MissCane9 😂 Yes in NY they will claim a closet is an “apartment “ 😂
@@richardhaas39 So what is a house, that's been divided into two separate suites called, if a 2 level apt. is called a duplex?
@@milomilo55 Illegal, maybe. Otherwise, a two unit building. Not a lot of houses on Manhattan. Gracie Mansion, I think the president of Columbia may live in a house provided by the university. You have to consider that NYC has its own building code, fire code, and electrical code which are considerably stricter than elsewhere. The Port Authority has even stricter rules. The Helmsley Building has an electrical code based on the railroad where it gets its power from. The Helmsley Building gets its power from Metro North, not Con Ed. Unique cases are hammered out between the respective parties, e.g., The Siberia Bar underneath 49th St.---the only bar on MTA property, since closed---had to work around MTA rules.
It's getting harder and harder for me to watch Cash rocket around NYC on that (awesome) electric bike without a helmet. He's an adult who gets to make his own decisions, but I've got two friends who's lives (and their families lives) were negatively changed forever by helmetless bike crashes and it just makes me incredibly anxious to see.
Amen especially in New York 😑
Agree, wish he would wear one!
Petition for cash to wear a helmet. I ride an escooter and I wear a moped helmet
@@Pintexx I have an E scooter that can reach 50 MPH and sometimes I don't wear a helmet. 🤣🤣
@@wombat5252 you have a dualtron ?
690 Greenwich is in the West Village north of Houston just off Christopher. Why the apartment is illegal and why the architect should be in prison remain a total mystery.
The titles on Cash's videos are attention grabbers for those of us that are curious. 🙂
People are always saying the apartments aren't legal because of this or that feature so lately he has been exaggerating their claims on his titles. It's a bit of fun.
@@valerieking5265 it's called click bait.
I've got a friend in Oregon who lives in 5-story 1-bedroom apartment. Each floor is about 100 sq ft and contains one room. Kitchen, dining room/study, living room, bathroom, bedroom in ascending order. LOTS of stairs.
while that sounds interesting, it must get old really fast
@@jennifertarin4707 Think what the tenant saves on gym memberships.
Did it used to be a silo? 😂 I'd love to know how it came about!
An old building in Portland? Would love to hear more about it, sounds like interesting architecture for sure.
@@denverdubois5835 Newer building, within the last 20 years, in southern Oregon. Mixed use building with retail/office/residential spaces. Unit was built that way, not a retrofit, and is the only unit like that in the building. I think it was originally intended as a student apartment for the owners kid, but I'm not 100% on that. All the appliances/bathroom fixtures/interior finishes are very nice, but not at all luxury.
Cash and Charles collab is always a cool place, we need to see more of the bike race 😄 loved the video today!
I am curious, do you people actually rent these apartments that are incredibly overpriced. There is just no way I would pay $5,700/month for this even if I was a millionaire. And to get approved you need to make 3 times the rent so that almost $18,000/month.
These rent prices have to be a joke. So many horribly cramped apartments that don't even seem legal in NYC would apparently require a 6-figure income to rent, and I just can't believe any sane person with that much money would go for it.
Typically this would be a roommate situation. These "apartments" are priced to split the rent.
It boggles my mind why anyone would want to live on NYC .
@@SteveCanon453 Really? I'd love to live there, and I grew up in a rural area and would miss the fresh air. If I could afford it I'd live half time in a neighborhood like that and half-time in the middle of nowhere. It's the in-between, the suburbs, that make me uncomfortable and unhappy. I've always enjoyed being in older east coast cities. Everything so close, tons of people around, the freedom of being able to just walk out your door and do anything.
Except go for a walk in the quiet.
All that said, I wouldn't live in that apartment, at that price or any other. The stairs over the cooktop is a dealbreaker.
Oh man I would love a little multi-level apartment. So cozy.
The Microwave oven is a Convection microwave you can microwave and cook/bake like a regular oven.
You beat me to it! 😃
but can it do a Thanksgiving turkey? :)
Cool!
@@GrosvenorAudio "Massive microwave oven" 7:03 (it's actually a microwave/convection oven)
Well, it could do a turkey leg or breast any time of year.🤓
@@GrosvenorAudio Just do a boneless breast. One person....... how much roasted turkey is one person going to be able to eat before the leftovers go bad?
Who in their right mind would pay $5000 a month for this apartment it is a fire hazard 🔥
I'm curious why you think it's a fire hazard? The first floor is street level, so the entry door and windows are 2 escapes. The second floor has an exit to the building hallway and escape could be made to the first or third floor if the hallway door is impassable. The third floor clearly has a fire escape plus exit to the second floor with the door to the building hallway. That all seems...better than many apartments I've seen. I don't know NYC fire code, but here in DC that would be 100% legal (all rooms have open egress to the outside of the apartment plus a secondary escape that can be internal so long as it leads to an exit once you enter the next room).
And it’s not even that good. I only like the diagonal kitchen sink, as it’s quite rare. 😂
So...you wake up at 3 in the morning and need to use the bathroom. Yikes! You've gotta schlep down 2 flights of stairs to get there and then walk back up 2 flights to get back. I'd be wide awake by then. THAT would be my dealbreaker!!!
My bedroom is on the third floor and my bathroom is on the second and yes it is so annoying having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Sometimes I force myself to hold it till I have to get up....yes, very bad!😔
Charles is looking quite svelte! Good for him! That kitchen is a huge fail. There's a ton of space, but how to use it? Definitely has a bachelor pad vibe. It'll be perfect for someone.
Charles is looking quite fetching!
Charles has got to love it being termed “illegal”, lol.
I couldn’t help but notice Cash you’re wearing a Tiger’s Eye bracelet! Bravo 👏 Good way to call in more prosperity, abundance and overall protection 🧿
The music on this episode is particularly very good. And that bike, whoa 😳 .
Hey Charles, good to see you. I don't hate this unit but it's so random. Too many steps for me personally.
I absolutely love old church architecture! That one is beautiful
OMG you guys look so cute racing your bikes…Charles left you in the dust 🤣🤣🤣 I always love seeing you guys together. Thank you for another apt tour! 👍
The apt has a nice flow to it. I especially like how the doors access different levels of the building. One could really have fun decorating it!🧐💫
Crazy!!! I just got a 5 bedroom house for rent, 2,000 square feet with a two car garage. My rent is 2,000! So wild to watch these and compare.
Why is a dishwasher deemed more important than an oven in a one bed apartment when no more than two people will be living there
Couldn't get a good look, but the microwave looked like it might be a convection oven/microwave. We had one for about 10 or so years and it was really handy. Especially before we became empty nesters.
But I do love my toaster oven and our new regular microwave 😎
Charles' bike really speeds along. You two can start a new kind of biker gang.
The Nice Guys gang! Tee hee!
I like this one, BUT the deal breaker is the bathroom on the 1st floor. 2nd floor I could work with it, but having to go all the way downstairs in the middle of the night, I would not fair well.
Love your videos! stop slamming doors so hard tho xD
Never
@@CashJordan maybe that's what you should have been doing with the kitchen cabinets in your place!! Lol
@@CashJordan
You break it, Charles will break you! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a strange layout ‼️ why would you need to come in at the 2nd floor ? I’d be worried about security issues .
I like it, I think it would work for a couple, ground floor - living room; kitchen level plus dining table and bedroom upstairs. Make 2nd level your entry. Always love seeing Charles in the videos!💖
You either love this duplex and see potential or you won’t either way it’s always nice to see what New York has to offer, so thanks Cash. Outside of the apartment being stuck in the 80’s I think the best features are the tall ceilings and the second floor entry. Charlie will sell that shortly. Sidenote - Cash, can we get an update on your office situation? Praying things are working in your favor and you find something better soon if needed.
Too bad the rents aren't stuck in the 80s...
@@FrankiesFancy I know. And back then apartments weren't hacked-to pieces either.
@@Bonnie-lo3zh You have no memory or knowledge of the recession then or the double digit mortgage rates, do you. You are just spouting the old lie that things were better in the past. 12% for a mortgage in order to stop the runaway inflation was like slamming your car into a wall. Try selling or buying a house then.
Really? I can't earn that in a month. Even a couple of workers would struggle.
All yours for the low low price of $5700/month. Fantastic plus I just love the spackled walls , so chic & elegant. They bring such ambiance to the apartment.
lol
Agreed..first thing I do on moving into a new space is customize the walls with some misplaced holes and spackle . Then it feels like home!
Whoa.....what happened to Charles? He is looking FIINNNE!
Charles! Good to see him in a video once more. This is an interesting place. Definitely unique.
"how can we mash together these bits of other apartments?" "stairs, lots of stairs"
OMG look at that guy's free gun show dayum! Thanks Charles Munroe and do you have a fitness channel?
Nice 🥹😍
That 2nd floor flex space could be a home office. It would work if they had to have clients come in threw that 2nd entrance.
I could also see it working as a room for a small child who doesn’t need much privacy.
You would put the bed blocking that 2nd door and it could work for a kid
The building with laundry is nice enough, though I don't know how far it is to the subway. The apartment is, indeed, a unique layout that wouldn't work for everyone, and having so many steps from the bedroom to the bathroom would be a deal-breaker for me. But the mezzanine office with its separate entrance could be useful to the right person. The living area and bedrooms are large by NYC standards, and the lack of a full-sized oven wouldn't impact most people, though tall folks might object to the stovetop location. The price is high for a one-bedroom. (Sorry, Charles.)
MEH, in regards to the oven. Get a turkey roaster. There are a lot of cool things one can do with a turkey roaster except bake cookies.
the Christopher Street PATH train is less than 2 blocks away and the 1 train is about 5 blocks away. There are several buses close by (the address is 690 Greenwich Street and was on the awning in one of the video frames at 3:07).
And dirty, most air conditioners for 5700 a month. A $300 replacement they couldnt do
Yeah. It could defo do with another bath, even a half bath. The you could use it as a two bed. But its workable
ok fk your job.. let's just all go hang out with cash and charles and literally make like we're all 10 again and PLAY ON OUR BIKES!!!!!! you were too funny..*omg a stop sign!* lolol.. as charles blows through it.. which is what I always heard as a kid... THE STOP SIGN lololol... but that place.
Any time you see a metal shelf in the microwave, it's a convection oven, too. Same thing as an air fryer. ;)
Half the fun of watching these videos is asking myself, "Could I live here?" And the other half is realizing that people do indeed live in some of these places. Kind of reminds me of some of the places I lived in overseas. It's amazing what people can get used to.
Charles bought a 🚀 for a bike ! Interesting layout on this apt.
No railing on one side of the solid staircase, and open steps on the higher staircases. Big ole nuh-uh for me. Otherwise a nice sunny spacious place, and not crazily priced for the area.
"Oh yeah? I love duplexes." 🤣🤣 keep up the great content.
I love this, but I think for the cost....you could find a better layout. I'm not sure the person that designed this was tall, and also trained in making use of all the space. That second floor is, eh... could be a lot better. Stairs look nice but also take up a lot of space. Has to be a better way to do it. (I would even like having an entire room and just going in and out the doors and using the building elevator! I want my space!!!
if they changed the stairs and pushed out the wall between living and kitchen, they could make a much better kitchen that would be more functional than the one they have.
@@jennifertarin4707 oh good point! I've been in many a small apartment that doesn't feel small. Usually because at least one of the spaces if NOT too small. Be it kitchen of living room, but all tiny tiny tiny... nope.
This place is $3000 overpriced. You are 100% correct in saying the architect should be in prison. I knew it the minute I saw the design of the main level with that staircase.
Oh Cash you know I love me some stairs! I adore that kinda nook level!
I would call that the mezzanine level!
The living area would be my studio space and the top would be my bedroom!
That mezzanine would be my reading room/office and maybe a daybed for ‘guests’ …..
And by guests I mean cats…! The cats would sleep there!! 🐈⬛🐾🤣💜🥰
Now you should know that those cats will now sleep everywhere BUT on the mezzanine! 😉😸
Good apartment for someone who likes to eat out and maybe exercises a lot. I do love the light and the views and the stairs and the acoustics must be off the charts. Apartment calling for a light show and a big party. 🥳
Just add another roughly 1,720 a month to eat out because the kitchen's too small and throw parties on a regular basis. Don't most New Yorkers live that way?
It's funny how those closets that are considered walk-ins in NYC, here in California those closets are what come in the smaller bedrooms. Also, I'm from TX so anything I get here in Cali is also considered small compared to Texas, lol. Anyhow, I did live in Europe for a decade so I know that it's not only in NYC that those closets are are walk-in. I love your videos btw, specially when you're chasing little Violet, you have a lovely family.
just cause cash says they're walk-ins, doesn't mean they are. just like he sometimes refers to apartments as townhouses. this isn't the gospel, it's just this TH-camr being creative with language and trying his best to sell it (rent it)
@@Where2bub I meant nothing wrong with that, just merely comparing how things are different in different states or around the world. I know he's trying to rent those apartments. I enjoy watching his videos.
@@ch1ckmom217 yeah I'm just saying, just cause he's saying they're walk-ins, doesn't mean they are walk-ins. he's not really a New Yorker, he's just a transplant being creative with his description of a small closet. no New Yorker would call these closets walk-in closets, nor would they call an apartment a town house, nor would they confuse bushwick for bed-stuy, etc etc.
@@Where2bub Well you learn new things every day. I'm also not a New Yorker but I have been there. However, it's not the same visiting a place than actually living there.
This is Gonna B so Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍….
Not prison 😂🤣
EDIT: Hi Charles 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Cool loft .......but I'll rent it only if Charles comes with the apartment. xoxo
At $5700 how is the landlord paying for heat and hot water saving YOU money. LOL.
$5700????? No FN way
0:16 That Star Wars art is awesome!
That cooktop might be an Induction Hob so you can only have that on and nothing else so I suspect that you can make coffee in the perculator before you use the cooktop as you don't want to blow the trips.
That rent is RIDICULOUS...Like quirky is not the word...
Dam Charles has some guns. Never saw all the muscles b4. 💪
Charles, need for speed. Lol
Every time I see a nyc apartment...it is vile. and there is always somebody gushing.
Thank you for the video!
Don’t mind how quirky it is. Then positive= tall ceilings,elevators for all floors of the apartment so carrying any heavy items won’t be a problem, kitchen decent size, decent bedroom plus amazing heating . Sunny living room and big enough for more than 4 guess plus you and your partner. Now the cons the price is too high unless you make over 10k every 2 weeks, no extra bedroom for guess, no Oven if you love baking large recipes. Cash and Charles great colab guys.
I like the moments when you parked your bike outside 960 greewich st.... BEAUTIFUL directing 😍 very artistic and Serene
I like that you let Charles fly by you like a “chase plane”😎
Charles needs to wear his helmet on that bike. Cool video as always. Just make sure your friend stays safe going that fast in NYC.
Good timing, Cash. Just about to devour a delish omelette and saw you posted. Thanks, great video as usual😊
Damn that bike can go! Wouldn’t be able to drive it in Canada. Fastest we can go legally with an E-bike is 32 km, so just under 20 mph.
I actually saw this place with my husband a couple of weeks ago while apartment hunting in Manhattan. In the end we just gave up on Manhattan and ended up in Long Island City. Better prices, new buildings and fast commute ;)
You should have moved to Weehawken NJ. Much better than LIC.
Thank you Cash!!!
One of my favorites, but I’m a sucker for quirky. What gets me is the rent in NYC. How do teachers afford to live anywhere but a boot-leg storage unit. As an introvert, sharing MY SPACE with strangers would be akin to having a daily root canal.
I’ve always wanted to live there, but I can’t afford to
Teachers and civil servants mostly live in the outer boroughs and suburbs unless they're lucky to live in some rent controlled place.
Different neighborhood.
Oh Yes! Very cool..very cool place. Love it, I'm a sucker for these types of places. And one more thing..What in the world does Charles have on that dang bike to make it go like that? Jet propulsion? Kiddos to him if he built that himself. And kiddos to you for another uniquely done video. Very good! Have a great day! 😊
*Kuddos 😳😬
Why am I all the way in Atlanta watching your videos?🤣🤣🤣 I’m obsessed 🤣🤣🤣
The stairway slanting into the kitchen would drive me nuts. My last apartment had something like that and I hit my head ALL THE TIME. It's not a badsized kitchen though.
I like the place, and Charles is one good lookin' man! And so are you, Cash! ❤️
Agree! 🥰
Ha. My wife was living in that apartment when we first met in 1982. Two roommates. Rent was $900 divided by 3 :-)
"Our bikes didn't get stolen... yet"
Oh that's reassuring to know you're in THAT type of neighborhood. $5700 to live in Thieftown 🤣
Not being able to cook a Thanksgiving turkey is not a deal breaker, but having to work 3 months to afford one month's rent *is.* I guess it's a great space for someone who's wealthy and values location over everything else.
I'll stick with $871 for a 2 bdrm, 2 bath home with washer, dryer, screened porch, lawn service, and pool access.
Loved that bike race but Charles won you need more power whoever sponsored your bike needs to send more power remember you are in New York and might need to leave a situation fast
“Sits on these and never gets used”, proceeds to sit on countertop 😂
Absolutely love it! In the city but not in the thick of it. Could be but you get to choose.. Decent food. I am short so the kitchen is not a problem. On the other side of wanting to cook much so don’t care about the stove. It is useable for whatever I want to do or even if a strange bug bites me, you can cook just fine on that. Easier than wood in the city.
Love everything about the place, including multiple exits. Could I afford it? No. I can’t even swing half. But I really like it!
Mr Munroe's cyclebike must be least 4 or 5 Stacks ! Geeesh
Insane New York rental prices have entered the realm of science fiction. 😱 Renting = throwing your money out the window unless there is an option to buy. I was born in The Bronx in 1953. Later, my family rented a lovely, big two bedroom apartment in Hudson (on Warren Street) over a men's clothing store. Free time and temp courtesy of the big flashing red light sign right outside the livingroom window 😄. All was very affordable. The Grand Union supermarket was a few minutes walk down the street, complete with a cop on the corner keeping an eye out for bad guys. I moved to The Netherlands in 1990 and live in a somewhat exclusive village in a big brick 3-bedroom home with attached garage and a nice back yard. My mortgage? Less than $100 a month. Including utilities, internet and homeowners insurance, it all comes to less than $600 a month. Lotsa luck, New Yorkers!
I love the architecture of the buildings
That's a great looking place!
Amazing space - but yikes on the price!
Thanks NY Grl...I worked in sales for years, and that's called bait & switch. That's pretty shabby. He has done it before. But maybe this time it's enough to get me to turn him off. Cash, have faith in your creative marketing without tricking viewers to tune in. We deserve better than that. And if you're this sneaky, not sure if I'd have faith in you to engage in any business deal with you. And WEAR YOUR HELMET!
I've still no intention to live in New York but I'm addicted to this channel...
Admiring that orange MokWheekl bike. I could have sworn that it was a KBO ebike, as they look so much alike! I bought one of the KBO's a few months ago and it's the best purchase I've made this year! If you're thinking of an ebike, you can't go wrong with one of these!
Never need leg day again at the gym with all those stairs!
Ground level dwelling are perfect for stray shots 😂
love the location, but not for 68K a year in rent money, good grief! That middle floor with the separate entrance could be a good home office space maybe? or maybe a place to get out when the mother in law pops in :)
Charles is going to get hurt on that bike! 😬
OMG Cash, the bike race. 😂😂🙌. I’d rather live in the bird cage in the palace on Columbus.
I live in NYC from 1995-2005 and loved it so much. My fave place to live was in LIC right off the NR (at that time) bc we could have a beater car that we did alternate street parking for free (one of us just had to remember to move it on street cleaning days so it didn’t get towed) we could literally see the above ground subway from our apartment, it was 3 stops into Manhattan to transfer to the midtown green line, 7 stops to transfer to the midtown red line. But right by the apartment if we’d walk, within 3 blocks, there was an Asian fruit and veg stand, a well stocked grocery store, a wine and liquor store, a few good shops and dry cleaning, an awesome Halal butcher and an Asian seafood market, and quite a few amazing ethnic restaurants where the people who owned it were FROM the the county of the cuisine the were cooking, even a Dunkin by the subway! Also very nice churches and some mosques, that would hold community events. We could also bike to a few museums. We had a newly refurbished 1940’s apartment with some original tile and stained glass and brick, steam heat, two bedrooms and a balcony style terrace with a rooftop access where you could see all of Manhattan skyline f from Washington Heights down to Brooklyn -for $1950/mo. So we had our bedroom an office/guest room, a kitchen, living room, and one and a half baths. PLUS! We could ride a bit into Astoria and eat and shop or take the car into Queens and shop “almost” like a suburban atmosphere or take the car to Jones beach for concerts or if our rich friends invited us to their beach houses or skiing at Hunter mountain or Vermont. My husband died tho 😢 I loved it there so much. I stood and held my neighbors and saw the Trade Center fall. Have video.
My husband and I used to ride his bikes across the bridge to the tennis bubble on the red clay court and I would go to NYSC and swim and work out. And then we’d get brunch by the museums and walk thru and play around in the park. It’s a great place to live.
Edit well it was that was almost 20 years ago😮
this is over $5000... With that many stairs, and that small kitchen, and being street level, it needs to be a lot less. I'd be using the second-floor entrance as the main entrance and placing something heavy in front of the floor-level door like a large bookcase. If I'm going to be renting a space that has an increase chance of theft because of the where the main door is, I'm going to pay a heck of a lot less than $5000....
Great apartment & the kitchen is just right. My only issue - besides the price - is that the bathroom is on the first floor, too far away from the bedroom in the middle of the night.
