- Would you live in a tiny apartment if it meant you had access to the best neighborhoods in Manhattan New York City? Living here is a dream for so many people, but are the apartments you can get worth the money?

I'm a country girl through and through, living on 2 acres in rural Ohio. But somehow I am addicted to these videos! The prices blow my mind!
Yeah the prices are a rip. I live in a major city myself and even I’m like wth…
I’m in Nebraska never thought about living in NY, still watch these videos, it makes me thankful I don’t live somewhere that living in a closet and getting ripped off doing it is a thing.
Me too! I live in a large apt in Canada and these videos amaze me. Mind you, I couldn't live in most of them before the walls closed in on me.
Lol the prices are crazy here overall. But the ones he shows are usually in prime location and renovated high end to bring in max rent. So you could live further out and get a bigger place. Typical apartments here are usually old and beat up looking with slum landlords that refuse to fix anything. Microwaves and dishwashers are not usual here either.
Only in ohio bro
I live in the UK, with a mortgage, with absolutely no plan or idea to move over to the US and spend my monthly wage on any of these apartments. But here I am, watching and thoroughly entertained thinking to myself, I can make that work, I can put a sofa there etc etc lol
The things you stumble upon after hours and hours on youtube haha
I wish it wasn't so expensive to rent an apartment here in the US. Now Phoenix, where I live, is getting expensive too.
Wait till you discover the DIY decorating channels. 😆
I feel so thankful to live in France. Our wages are lower, but I get a really cute apartment very similar to those in a gorgeous small town near Paris for less than 500€ a month. I can relax in the country and hear the birds, but if I need to be in Paris, I hop on a train and I'm there in less than an hour. But even if I wanted to live in Paris itself, it's cheaper than New York by a wide margin - I'd say less than half-price.
In East Texas you get a 2.000 Sqft Home with 4 bedrooms for 2.500 $. New York is crazy.
The problem with that is it's in East Texas
$2400 for a closet with a toilet in it? Come on Cash, THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH!
🤣 you're talking like he has any control over the prices ppl ask..thats like assuming the realtor sets the price for the house you're trying to buy.
@@janeysiegrist5061 🤣 your right because if cash was in charge of the rent it so hell would not be 2400🤣
That's NYC for you.
@@tiffanycurtis4794 *you're
Lmao@closet with a toilet in it
These upstuck new yorkers living like this thinking their better than others are clowns 🤡
I’m so sad rents are so high, not just in NYC but everywhere. I can’t imagine if families had lived in one place for like 80 years. Raised families and died in the the same place.
Same in UK. Ridiculous. These high prices can't last, esp not now. But it's always supply and demand, they say,
@@garrycrystal6244 No. It's greed.
I wouldn’t know about rent - own my places
@@bambinaforever1402 Thanks for letting everyone know. We're all gathered round right now giving you a very well-deserved round of applause.
I'm in Ft. Myers FL, and the rent costs are ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH. I'm a crappy, crime and drug ridden trailer park area in the county.. You get a 1970s single wide trailer with 1bed/1bath, no AC (so you need the window units, which sucks because that makes it more accessible for theives to break in), might have W/D hook ups, very crappy insulation, windows have never been replaced or resealed, siding is only partially there, never been upgraded in and the carpet has never been replaced all all for $1800 a month (and thats the low end). To rent an apartment or duplex in the county/in a decent neighborhood, you might get 1 for $2000+. You want a house, be ready to pay $2300+. If I rented out my 3/2/2 + den, 1800sqft house for $2750 or more. Its STUPID. Oh, and also, you need 1st, last & security deposit. Pay for the application for your credit check and background check. You ALSO must make an income of 3x your rent monthly. PATHETIC
I love watching these videos but I really wonder how these people who lived in these small apartments didn’t lose their minds while under lockdown
I love the first one I'd take it in a New York minute..I miss New York city. Thank you cash.
The last one was my favorite! The lauout was unique and the building was plush!!!
I was in Manhattan for a spontaneous vacation Weds thru Sat and every morning I kept my eyes peeled for a Cash Jordan sighting. 🤣
The first one is a walkup one-closet, er, one-bedroom with enough space for a single person who doesn't do much cooking. The second one at least isn't a walkup. The third one is ridiculously small but tries to make up for it with higher-end fixtures. Charles' apartments are pricey, but all the rooms are large by NYC standards. For value by square footage, they win.
The first one is memorable where you have to squirm to do your business in the bathroom because there’s no clearance between you and the sink!
I don't know how single people pay these rents. Even for two it would be a struggle. They must pay a lot in NYC.
@@NormanF62 I think I'd just sit at an angle
The IKEA Bror kitchen island on wheels can solve the kitchen problem easily.
I guess people who didn't spend much time home would be okay with them.
Friedrich Air Conditioning is an American privately held company that manufactures commercial-grade room air conditioners and specialty cooling products for residential and light commercial applications. The company is based in Uptown, San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio, Texas, U.S. :)
Thanks Mr Google! 😜
Always nice to see Charles
I suggest you modify your fridge door test to include opening the crisper drawer closest to the door. I have had several fridges that could only open that drawer if the door was open wider than 90 degrees.
YES - that would be a great addition to his walk-throughs. I lived in an apartment where we had that issue. Our solution: before putting anything in the fridge, we were able to lift the lower shelf in order to REMOVE that "blocked/useless" crisper drawer entirely. Then we could at least make use of the space. (bonus - I used that fridge drawer in a weird kitchen cabinet to store my dish towels, since we only had 3 small kitchen drawers.)
This is Gonna b so Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Sunday😀….
I'm claustrophobic I couldn't live there , but it's interesting seeing these apartments and how outrageously expensive they are !!!
I'm not paying $3,000 to live in a closet. No wonder New Yorkers get a bad reputation about being rude. I'll be mad too living in a cubicle.
I pay £504, ($619.92), for a 2-bed house in Leeds. Albeit, the area isn't all that great, but I'm within a 10 minute walk, (if that), of a bus stop, where I can get a bus directly into the city centre. The house has central heating, double glazing, a window fire escape and the street is fairly quiet.
@@emmadawson2360 Wow! I pay approx 1,500 USD for a two bedroom apartment in a small town in Switzerland and used to pay 2,000 USD for one bedroom in Zurich. Prices in NYC are absolutely outrageous.
@@emmadawson2360 Let's all rush to Leeds?
I’d pay a $1000 to live in a coffin! More seems absurdly overpriced.
Let me warn anyone interested in that one bedroom overlook the courtyard. My mother's apartments overlooks a courtyard and she's on the fourth floor. The noise coming from the people who gather in the courtyard is insane. Thankfully the people go out there during decent hours but the holidays and summers they can be out there for hours. It's very quite for sleeping but all your need is one asshole and they usually make themselves known first.
I used to live at a place on the first floor where my window faced the building's grassy, private yard. Other residents would stand outside my window and talk loudly. I looked outside once just for confirmation. I really detest apartment living.
I live on the first floor under similar circumstances. I love the pulse and life in the yard. It's one of the reasons I love living in the city. It's also amazing finding a place to eat and read and soak some sun and enjoy having an outdoor area to chill out in.
Huh, where I lived it was not a "courtyard" so much as an inaccessible space that collected pigeon poop, feathers, sludge and random plastic bags. Fortunately, I lived on the 8th floor.
Here in Canada I found an apartment that looks exactly the same as the second apartment you showed but for $900. No way I can afford a place in NY!
Thats why its still empty!
Depends on where you are in Canada. In Vancouver or Toronto the prices would be about the same as this video, maybe even a bit more.
Books in the laundry room, worth every penny.
I would say on Cash's side of the video the 2nd apt had the best functionality for my taste. On Charles's side of the video I liked all of them but the 1br at the end was the winner for me. And it seems water pressure is this season's sink sprayer. But you can't deny good water pressure is an important feature.
If the water pressure is lousy then the sprayer barely works I've found.
LOL! I think I have the Cash strategy now. When shown apartments are questionable (or less than desirable) front load them and then have Charles come in to save the video! LOL! I thought I could work with the first apartment for $2500/month but that small bathroom... No, sir! Been there and done that. That would drive me insane.
Small and expensive but I’m guessing good for NY. Hi Charles I watch you too 👋🇦🇺
@Cash Friedrich is a very old German name (grandfather to grand-grandfather generation). Never heard it for younger males anymore. :)
Honestly, I also liked the small appartments. They were tiny but clean and new set up. It´s a good deal for a cheapter renting, I guess.
That's what I thought, it's a German name and definitely not French :)
FYI-Friedrich is a German name and the company was named after the founder started the company in San Antonio,TX in the late 1800’s. If you have visited San Antonio in the summer you will understand why refrigeration was so important and evolved to air conditioning 😏
I'm Korean, and in one video he points at a menu at the window of a restaurant with Korean writing (obviously a Korean restaurant) and he says, "looks like Japanese curry". I'm pretty sure it was Korean curry. I would think someone who had traveled to Japan would know the difference between Korean and Japanese. Not the same. Two different countries. Completely different languages.
@@desktopkitty He's just joking. He has a dry sense of humor sometimes.
I love how your pop out of the closet!!😃
Haha
I love it when the dynamic duo get together. Thanks for your hard work and skills. I have my own house thankfully but I often daydream about living in the Big Apple. It will have to be when I win the lottery or have enough reason to live out in in the outer boroughs. NY is too rich for my blood.
CHARLES IS BACK!
Charles always has the nicest places .. love it ❤❤
Agreed!
I would do a Murphy bed in the $2950 studio 😊👍🏻
The last apartment layout is more familiar to me because the small living space next to the kitchen could be a dining area in my country (we usually eat in the kitchen at a dining table and no breakfast bar), and the separate room without a door could be a great big living room. I love the apartment but I'd remove the window in the kitchen making it an open space
Very interesting and informative video🤝
None of the studios are worth more than $1500-$1800, and none of the other places more than $3000. People in NYC are getting scammed to exist in that city.
I very much agree!
Final apartment wins out by a mile. Loved the quirky layout and the space was amazing. I'd take it. Thanks guys.
Some small apartments are difficult for large people to navigate & utilize comfortably. And even if the tenant is not a large person; some of your guest/friends/family might be.
So use discernment.
By 'large people' you mean fat?
@@DerpEye Could also be large as in tall, I can't imagine someone over 6 feet would have a nice time going to the bathroom with so little space.
But of course it being America large could also mean fat.
This is the first video I have seen. I am really impressed with your channel. I can’t wait to binge watch your channel. Thanks!
New York is ridiculous with those prices. I see why people are leaving. My goodness.
Hey Cash..always a pleasure to see you do what you do 💛
Love the idea of a small apartment in the middle of the city. I love these videos. Why?, because I live in Australia, 3 bedrooms on 1/4 acre. Our rents are getting up there in Sydney/Melbourne too. Your attention to detail is fantastic, as I notice nothing.
I even sit through all the ads to make sure you get paid, because the work you put into your videos is apparent.
All are nice and doable. Some more than others. You guys are great! Thanks for the work put in to show us what available! 😃
Thank You for sharing. It is good to know all the different prices. I still think they are a bit high. GREAT stream.
Yay! With Charles, this is gonna be good!! He ALWAYS has the best places!!
Cash, you and Charles certainly have energy and chemistry. Here's a monicker for yah: C (See, Cash) C (See, Charles) Realtors--C C Realtors. I would also suggest channeling "Up on the Roof" (Drifters) as you open the door to a roof scene (though you might have some copyright issues--a challenge). You can do it! Thanks for the fun and market value.
The last apartment was my favorite one
I liked that last apt the best. It had an interesting floorplan. The kitchen was better than most of them despite the end of the counter by the fridge being kind of blocked unless you are a very tall person with long arms. But that's certainly better than the kitchens where you can't open the fridge all the way! That makes it so you can't even use the crisper drawer since the door of the fridge would bar you from opening it all the way. And those bathrooms where you have to be a contortionist to use the toilet... how do they not manage to think that through? A pedestal sink would have been better than a cabinet, so you'd have room for your legs. Goodness gracious! LOL 😃
Why does it seem that all of the flats, that Cash visits, don't have draining boards next to their kitchen sinks?
@@emmadawson2360 Out of fashion?
Realize Most Of These Way Over The Top Of GREED💵NYC🍎Apartments Were Made Over From 100+Years Ago To Look👀Fresh With Today's Look & Minus A Floor Plan Of Any Substance. It's About The Flash💥Look👁👁New Appliances & Not The Substance Of Any Functionality In Living.
How come all of a sudden I can’t make comments on this and other channels but I can reply to you? I never wrote any nasty comments. I’m still able to make comments on some channels. Very strange.😢never mind I just found out where they moved it. I wish they would stop moving and changing stuff on TH-cam😂😮
Am in agreement last apt was my fav! Loved the kitchen!
$2495 for a small apartment?? That's ridiculous. I have a bigger apartment in Texas for $1400.
But it's in Texas.
that last apartment was awesome
Okay Charles came through for you. A gallery kitchen with a possibility of a upstairs den/art studio/gym.
Door knob hits wall:
Cash laughs
Charles: alright cash Heres the lease just sign right here please😂
The first one, the faucet was obnoxiously dirty when you showed it to the camera. There's no way I would be happy going home having to walk through that depressing hallway. The small spaces are tolerable as long as they're clean, don't have an AC in the window, and don't have to walk through some disgustingly dirty hallway to get there. I still think this is a crime to run these apartments.
A virtual smorgasbord of apartment choices today! That French guy must be rich with all those A/C units out there.😉 Cash always getting the subtle humor out there.
I like the last one out of all of them. I can never get get use to those prices. I live in a 2 bed 2 bath, dining room and separate kitchen, lovely big living room, and lots of closets, bedrooms great size, 1 st floor, laundry room right outside my front door and lovely patio and private small garden space and I pay $820 a month and they pay heat water and cooking gas here. I bet this would be easily $6000 a month in new York. I guess it just takes a certain kind of people to live in a concrete jungle. I know I couldn't do it. Kudos to people who can. I got to have grass and trees and some wildlife.
The $6950 one with that ridiculous loft I can’t even stand up straight in…. it puts to shame the notion of a loft apartment!
I liked the 3rd apartment. Too bad the tub wasn't long. I live in a small one bedroom in a 55+ building (I'll admit, it's more like a retirement home with the atmosphere and the fact that people have died alone in their units) and my tub is needed to soak away my aches & pains, but it's a short tub. I'm 5'6" and can't have a proper soak, unlike my last bathtub which was so long, I didn't have to bed my knees to fit in.
I love imagining myself in some of these apartments; I enjoy lively neighbourhoods. New York delivers.
Oh my gosh, you're only 5'6" and can't straighten out in your tub? Sounds like you don't have a tub, but a big sink! That's too bad. 😞Hope you can make it work, somehow.
I’m glad my retirement home has a big bathroom! At 5’7” its more than ample for my height and the dimensions are perfect for a 43” TV though it could fit a 49” with no problem!
Not that you asked for advice, but some folks I know have had success with inflatable tubs!
The rent in California may not be as much. And we have 1000% better weather, what's that worth?
Watching these videos makes me glad I moved out of Manhattan to sunny Florida where prices are reasonable. Many of those old buildings have bugs runny everywhere . But Cash is sure entertaining---------------a real showman.
This is what I wonder about. He never mentions the possibility of bugs, and I know cockroaches are everywhere there. I do really enjoy his videos though
@@Michelle-ti9ez NY is currently trying to hire someone to try and handle the rat problems. It’s a $200,000 position! Unless you like making friends with huge rats for $5000 a month rent, NY is not the place for you
@@TheTurdballs420 that and the absolutely criminal prices are the reason I don’t live there
Like there aren't a thing in Florida called palmetto bugs, which are mega roaches.
@@Michelle-ti9ez Yes, he does. He said that's why you look under the sinks, for signs of infestation.
I’m too fluffy for the bathroom in the first apartment you showed😮 ! 🐑
You spelled OBESE wrong.
I’d have to lose weight to fit into those first places. But that could be a good thing. ❤
The first apartment is quite cozy and perfect for 1 person
jordan here in Brazil every day we watch your videos
For those who are not New Yorkers, perhaps you could do a video to explain Rent Control and Rent Stabilization. How do they work?
C'est le retour du duo de choc Cash et Charles, C Square rocking the house! ❤️
I liked the first two Charles apartments. No replacement for sunlight. Third was too dark for me. The others are all just nuts.
Please Charles and Cash do a vlog together no apartment tour just give us a guys night out vlog 👏🏾🍺🔥
First apartment. Bothers me that dishwasher seemed to be loose when you opened it.
Friedrich is a German name and Friedrich Air Conditioners are made in the USA.
I believe Cash was making a joke.
@@theoriginalbridgetconnors Exactly
I hate cleaning the shower tracks on the sliding doors
Charles always has the good apartments. Elevator, top floor what's not to like bur the price. I wonder if in the last apartment the water valves under the sink weren't turned ed all the way. Pressure seemed very low. Frederich is an American company but the name is German not French..LOL
I love your videos. I will never moved to New York, but I love watching your videos.
I think the "tub" in the second apartment is either a shower base or a very large sink bowl. So weird. Probably the former since there is a shower control. Maybe it's a shower with an option to bathe without the shower. Still, weird. In another apartment where the refrigerator door did not clear, it's useable but you can't pull the bottom right drawer out to clean or easily reach to the back of it.
Maybe it's a tub from the Lollipop Guild
Either way you don't enter a bathtub with shoes on.
These prices are insane. In Munich (one of the most expensive cities in germany) for around 6000 bucks, you get a 2152,78 square foot penthouse!
Morning all
I like all your videos but the prices of these apartments. Wow. Price shock They keep getting higher. Maybe it's the neighborhood. I don't know. But it looks like you and Charles enjoyed showing these. Oh. Those Friedrich air conditioners are the best I didn't know they still made them See ya
I love lofts and I definitely would sleep up there!
Hello nice Video😊
In LA, you get mcmansions and mega estates tours. In New York you get tiny apartment tours.
It's crazy to me how different the prices of apartments/houses are in different states. Like in Texas you can get a huge house for $3k a month easy. But NYC is beautiful, so I'm sure it's worth the money!
How is living in a closet with a toilet in a crime infested city "worth the money" Your a clown 🤡 smh
New york is crap wtf u talking about
Amen!
I being watching your videos for over a year you getting better and better keep up the good work unit is amazing
You have anything with Murphy beds?
Like the one on the 6th floor from Oklahoma here and this always blows my mind how much you guys are willing to pay for such a small place. Its wild to me considering I get almost 1000 square feet 980 to be exact for 400 dollars and its not luxury but not trash either.. so its like wow! Now place is almost 100 yrs old with a 20 yr old remodel and I supply fridge. But still man its crazy to me!
1) I love the music, Cash plays. 🎶
2) Can't believe theses NY City prices.
3) Obsessed with RE.
♥
Loved this video. These are new and clean wow I really like that the 2bedrooms are perfect with the rooftop decks and the balcony and a linen closet washer and dryer. These are perfect for a New Yorker that wants to live in Brooklyn. I heard that people who live in Manhattan don't go to Brooklyn. How snobby. See ya
I like the way you add your ideas about how you would furnish these places.
Those first three were some of the saddest I've seen on this channel. I wouldn't pay over $2K for any one of those (even given the location...cuz certainly wouldn't pay that where I live 😅)
Honestly they should be something like 300-400$.
Almost $3.5K and you still have to sleep in the kitchen.
But you can get midnight snacks super easy…
From the kitchen to the wall!and the sweat drops down my ....
2500. Lol
Back in the mid 90’s my husband had a corporate apartment on Rector in Battery Park City. One bedroom, sleeper in the living area, nice kitchen, concierge, shops all around…and $1600 a month!
Cash keep blessing others 🎉 You about so much more🎉
NY reigns King for the ability to make any awkward space livable!!!! “We Can Do It!!!” In a Sylvester Stallone voice 🤣🤣🤣 “Toilet over here, shower in this weird space!!!”
The next to last apartment is 😍 stunning.
I had growth issues and I’m very very small. I never really though there were any advantages to it until I see the tininess of New York apartments.
Friedrich Air Conditioning is an American privately held company that manufactures commercial-grade room air conditioners and specialty cooling products for residential and light commercial applications. The company is based in Uptown, San Antonio, Texas
I’m continually shocked by how many people don’t realize the fridge is supposed to open a certain way based on its placement in the kitchen. So many awkward kitchens out there! 😂
And most refrigerators have switchable hinges so If the door doesn't open the right way you can change it...
@@davidcaskie6680 they don’t realize that either! LOL
From the first set easily the 2nd spot steals the show for me🏆🏆🏆
The only good apartments where the last three! lol. If anyone in the comments is moving to NYC and you're just starting off and don't want any roommates, I recommend you move to Brooklyn, Queens or Staten Island and commute to the city if you work or go to school there! You will find better places to live for half the cost.
When is a living room not a living room? When it’s 6.5 feet wide. Makes my studio seem like a palace. All the new appliances and fixtures in these places are supper nice.
That first apartment had no bedroom. 80 square feet is the minimum in New York City to be considered a bedroom, by law.
Those medicine cabinets at 9mins 9secs. Gives me an idea for when I eventually pull my finger out and replace the long big mirror in my ensuite, didnt realise medicine cabinets could be that big
Unbelievable for this money! Are people gone mad? Thanks for showing.
You’ve been gone for a few days, which is unusual for you. Family news, perhaps? Congratulations if so, and welcome back. Peace from Ohio …
