    New Yorker here - It’s a nice apartment, great view and seems like great amenities but you could have definitely found a 1 bedroom in a quieter neighborhood (not in midtown) with sound proofed, double paned windows, for the same price. I think the folks who constructed your building did not put any effort/money into sound proofing the windows.
    Word of advice, while the views are nice for the famous buildings etc, it’s best to make your home area in NYC one that IS NOT in the touristy areas (midtown/close to 6th Ave) if possible. Try UES/UWS East Village and West Village. You’ll also be able to appreciate the views more when you’re not right under them.

    Not all buildings have that noise issue. It depends on the building. Some luxury buildings in New York will be in the middle of midtown, but you will not know what’s going on outside because of the soundproofing. Regardless, your apartment and amenities are really nice!

    • @OGtruthserum

      240K down payment cannot get you a dream home no more. In LA (less than SF), a decent looking house is 1.7 million dollars. That is 340K down for 20%, and that not counting closing costs. Hence why I left CA, but even in the mid-west, still cannot afford a home even at 85K a year salary.

    Very interesting video from a charming young man! As a lifelong, now elderly New Yorker, I am glad to see an example of who rents this type of apartment -- a bright high-rise studio bigger than my (old-fashioned, VERY non-luxury) one-bedroom, with lovely amenities and amazing views -- and what you like and dislike about it. You've made the space very much your own, and I love the fact that you have room for your brothers to stay over and visit, not to mention your cool folding chair that turns into a ladder, and your under-table hammock! Hope you continue to enjoy NYC.😊

    I lived and worked in NYC in my 20s (back in the late 90s). It was rough to make ends meet. I had a blast; it was a great place to have fun after work. I moved to Texas over 20 years ago. I live in a massive house on 6 acres. The mortgage is less than $4,000 a month. With hybrid and remote work as an option now, living in any city is a choice, not a requirement. I commute to the office nearly daily, but it's less than a 30-minute drive. Big city living isn't going to withstand the remote work paradigm shift. Certainly not with the current cost/value shown in this video.

      View is amazing but I can't live: above the 2nd floor, anywhere that has common walls or common entrance area with anybody not related to me. I need a yard and a personal garage.

    So basically, $5K x 12 months = $60K/yr ??
    I'd rather save up that kind of money to buy an actual house _outside_ of NYC. But if NYC life still makes you happy despite that ridiculously absurd cost of living just for renting, then more power to you.

    Hello from Phoenix Arizona very nice department. I don’t know much about New York City. I’ve only been there a couple of times. But man for that money, you can have a beautiful home with a big swimming pool here in Phoenix. The only thing that would scare me about living in New York if something goes down, there’s no getting out of there imagine the power going out for a week I’ll hell with brake loose people would go berserk.anyway it’s beautiful. The gym is cool too since I work from home I don’t mind having people around when I go to the gym because I’m so isolated at home all day. Thanks for sharing your place with us.

    I have the same issue regarding the street noise. I bought mouldable ear plugs online and I can't overstate how much they help filter out the noise. It is like a sort of putty that you place in your ear, and it sets to the shape of your ear in 10 minutes forming a sealed ear plug. It only cost about £10 for 5 mould sets I believe.

    Once upon a time, I was a student at NYU and I had a studio in the Village., on Bleecker Street. It was nice, but it didn't cost $5000 a month. I think it was $180. Anyway, the point to take away is that that cost was just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Factor in the Con Ed bill, the phone bill, the food, the transportation, the nights out. It all added up.
    Today, you'd need $20K a month, net, for the same lifestyle.
