As someone who works at a Luxury building I would recommend that you find out what’s the deal with even going on the rooftop, at my building you have to book it and we have 700 apartments so it’s hard to get a slot ! it might be better to get the last apartment with just the terrace because it’s more accessible during these times!!
The first unit was definitely my favorite even thought it didn’t have washer/dryer. I enjoyed how the living space was separated from the kitchen and the living space looked really big
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Lane Shane Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
If you like a building, then you should negotiate the amenities. Tell them you would take it if they waive the amenity fee. Tell them you saw other buildings that are offering no charge for amenity. Especially the third building you saw with the brand new kitchen. They had so many units available. They are desperate for renters in nyc right now and there is so much in the inventory. EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE...including the rent.
Personally, I’d rather have a kitchen separate from my living/sleeping/work space. I recently lived in a small place where the kitchen was in the main area and it was hard to separate life in that way
I like #1! I don't like how they put kitchens in the main room of studios. I have a studio and my kitchen is separate. I cook a lotttt from scratch so I think I need that separation a lot. But I think maybe you would like the unit with the walk in closet more?
I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 and live in a 2 bed and wondering how you guys with studio’s go with the cooking smells?? 🤔🤔 it’s bad enough in a 2 bed unless I remember to open up doors and windows to let fresh air in and smells out! Couldn’t imagine what it must be like cooking and eating in the same space! Obviously it’s expensive living in a one bed apartment, I just hope they’ve put things in place in studio’s to prevent this from happening. Just curious! 😁😁
These are my notes LOL: building one: L SHAPED, pay $50/month for amenities, no washer dryer, good vibes, had rooftop and gym building two: BYE. building three: (unit 1): first three months free, amenities are $80/month building three: (unit 2 & 3): byeeeee building three (unit 4): L shaped, smaller, no floor to ceiling windows, cheaper, closer to the ground, noisier building four: (unit 1): bye building four (unit 2): cheaper, free two months building four: (unit 3): tall ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, big closet, building four (unit 4): one large window floor to ceiling, washer dryer, dishwasher, cheaper, free amenities for entire lease. no rooftop, terrace is present, not good area I feel like im similiar to your kristee because you want a good deal and make sure you get as many free things as possible. I can see how building 4 is inviting because cheaper prices and free amenities for entire lease. I wonder if this is too good to be true. You say its not in a great area. I am from NY and I say, living in a better area is worth the money. I dont know what subway stations are close by, but i would also consider you like the area (when covid permits). AND you want a rooftop. The lighting in building four units 3 and 4. have decent lighting (from what i can see). Building 3 seemed to be on the higher part of your budget, but have all the amenities but still have to pay $80 for 9 months... My favorite was unit 4, but noise seems to be a dealbreaker. despite not having floor to ceiling windows, it had great lighting. Building 1 seemed like a middle ground not too expensive like building 3 but had everything you needed. Yes, there are no washer and dryer, but if its on the same floor than a scary af basement -- that to me is a step up in the world lol. The lighting in the main area (aka bedroom) would be very nice but in the kitchen area --decent. I obviously dont know all the details, but i wanted to share my opinion because i like to take notes and change the perspective. i agree with many people below who suggested negotiating!!! say you will chose them if amenities are free. I also agree with asking what are the things necessary to use these cohabiting spaces. can you go at any time or make an appt??? sorry for this long ass comment. thanks for reading. my fav types of video - moving vlogs LMAO
I liked the first building and first unit best! I think that was the best set up as a studio because it looked like you could have the separate kitchen area and then create a little living/dining area and then put your bed towards the back wall. I also really liked the storage behind the mirror in that bathroom. Only con was no washer dryer but the deals at that one sounded really good!
The one with the large ceilings is amazing. I would feel less cramped and it seems more spacious. Girl, you have a lot of thinking to do! All of them have potential!
As a person who has floor to ceiling windows with a view of 1 WTC and the Chrysler Building from my apartment, I can vouch that having a view in a smaller apartment in the city is a literal game changer. My old place was so much cheaper than this one but had a view of...another building, had hardly any natural light, and it definitely affected my mood all the time, especially in the winter. I am so much happier even though stuck inside because I have so much light and such a great view. WINDOWS ARE IMPORTANT!
Something to consider with the ones that have construction going on, is what is being built in front and how high will they go.? It could be blocking all your sun in the end. Also walk in closet, the first one had three closets and they were big. My favorite is number one. I like all the storage, the view is amazing, the amenities are amazing. I pay extra for amazing.
Why do you want a studio and not a 1bd? I feel like it would be smart to separate yourself from your workspace, even if just a little bit. Especially since you’ll be spending so much time inside
@@laurenmw9629 yeah but if space is just a priority to her then maybe going to a less expensive building but having more space could be more beneficial
She wanted amenities like gym ,rooftop etc, rather than an 1 bedroom. She said that 2 videos ago or something. I wasn't about her not afording a 1 bedroom.
The second building was definitely my favourite as the kitchen is its own separate room! Personally I don’t like when the kitchen is exposed to the living area.. if Kristee could get that same layout I think that one is 🙌🏼
Kristee, can you please name the buildings you didn’t go with. As someone anticipating a move to nyc in a few months for work would love to look into them!
I think the last building sounds like a really good deal but the first one allows you to feel like you have a separate kitchen space and living space with is super nice! personally they all seem like they have their own perks
My favorite was definitely the first one you viewed, I loved the layout with the kitchen being separate from your actual bedroom space and you can definitely negotiate the amenities fee to be lowered or even waived. Plus that one had 3.5 months free rent if I remember correctly, and she offered you laundry credit 👀
My fav would probably be the first one. I feel like the layout would allow you to create different sections such as a sleep area and a chill/work area. Plus the kitchen is separated which I really like. Those walk in closets and high ceilings were also great!
I really like the first one, that was probably my favorite, it sucks about the washer dryer but you've been living without that so it wouldnt be like you were losing something, LOVE the view and the windows. I also love how the kitchen is seperate from the bedroom area and lots of storage was nice. However, i also really liked the one with the windows in the kitchen, how freaking awesome would that be to have that view while you cook and wash dishes, especially on a nice bright sunny day or a mellow chill night, perfection. And third, the one with the high cielings also looks really nice because the high cielings make it look huge. IDK but whichever you decided on I can't wait since I just saw your story in IG. Cant wait to see.
I loved the 1st apartment with all the closets. Even though it didn’t have a washer dryer in unit if it’s in the building I’m good with that. Good luck!
i agree with most of the comments! i like the first building you showed the best because it feels less like a studio and more of a “bedroom” separated space!
i would've said the last unit you showed because i agree with you that that one was nice, but you are not a brat for wanting a rooftop! that is the single thing that would make me choose the first unit you showed over the last one. having a rooftop rather than just a ground terrace seems way more quiet and peaceful and what you're looking for in an outdoor space.
I personally fancy the 2017-built one because of how sophisticated and clean it looks, also the one with walk-in kitchen with 3 closets along the way 😍🤍
The first building was my favorite! I liked that the kitchen felt separate from the living area, and the 3 closets adds a lot of storage without taking away a ton of the square footage! The amenities also seemed great!
Yep, she'll get more use out of her square footage with the first one. There's no need for a giant closet taking up a bunch of space when you can have 3 more hidden closets, good sized closets.
Would either go with the first one because separating kitchen from living space is SUCH a game changer mentally. Or I would do one with the walk in closet. You could do so much with storage and organization in there that it would free up space in your living area/less furniture.
I could not live in such a small place especially working from home, you’ll be working in your living room that’s actually your bedroom. But I also have cats and a Malamute doggo
I agree with mostly everyone else that the first until is beast and has everything necessary and that you want! I like the separation of the space! I also liked the fourth building with the walk in closet unit and the other unit there too was great!
The before last one, with the little nook by the kitchen, is so cute! All I could think of was putting a big cozy bench seat in there and making a cozy reading corner 🥰. They’re all super nice so you can’t go wrong with any of them!!!
I loved the first apartment. The kitchen had the two closets and a tune of cabinet space. The floor plan made it look like it would be easy to separate the different areas.
Wow I'm in love with that first one! so much closet space and a separate kitchen! I live in a studio too and having a separate kitchen is a game-changer. Also, my view out the window is into other people's apartments LOL so I'm jealous of the amazing views you'll have no matter what you choose
I am so excited for you! In unit washer and dryer is amazing! I hope you find a great place. I understand taking advantage of lower rent. The view is amazing!
I liked the very first one ... WoW windows and lay out was Awesome ... Just on face value loved the gym and outside space . Check out the night views .
The first one was my favorite. I do prefer a washer/dryer in the unit but as a single person, how often are you actually washing? When it was just me, I washed once a week, I just made sure I had a book to keep me occupied. I do love that it has central a/c & heat, it doesn’t make as much noise as those pop out units and it’s more efficient too. And it seems to have more sectional spaces where it doesn’t feel like a studio. Your kitchen area is separated from the living, sleeping area. I’d recommend looking at the management too, how they manage the building is hugely important.
I liked both of the units at the last place with the light blue backsplash in the kitchens! Those are my favorites and the one that was more then you wanted to pay I can see you in all 3 of those:) whatever you want to do will be great:)
I lived in downtown bk for a few years and this brought back memories! I looked at a lot of the same buildings. 4th building sounds like a good match overall, even if there’s no rooftop. And just because there’s a rooftop doesn’t necessarily mean the views will remain. They are building so many new condos, high rises etc. and obstructing views. I used to live in one of the luxury buildings and our rooftop had a gorgeous north/Manhattan view for about a year...then construction of a very tall condo started :(
I loved: - Building #1 - got a good vibe from that - Building #3 Unit #4 - good layout - Building #4 Unit #2 I personally would look for: huge windows -> it's NCY, so you want to see something from it, plus it makes the unit feel much bigger good blinds for the windows a separation from kitchen and living space good price fitness area I would not so much look for: washer/dryer in unit rooftop Thanks for taking us along! Can't wait to see what happens :-)
They all had great potential! I really liked building #3. I think it had some great unit options and if they have several units open you might be able to negotiate to get the amenities waived, etc. but so excited to see what you decide!!
Oooooor the high ceilings and walk in closet! More affordable and lots of space - you will be soooo thankful for that closet space coming from your current place!
Waited until the very end to check out the comments (gave it a like first, of course) but I liked the first one the best - floor-to-ceiling windows, three closets, and what looks to be a spacious kitchen. But boo, no in-unit laundry! I did like the one towards the end that had the kind-of bedroom nook because that way you could still have SOME separation even in a studio. Excited to see where the next two weeks takes you! I was preparing to move to NYC just as the pandemic hit but hopefully I can be there in the next year or so!
Personally i’d go for the first one! Bigger, so much light AND separate kitchen which i think it’s going to be a big plus when you’ll have to spend to much time at home :)
i hope you chose the last building - especially since it was cheaper and had waived amenities fees. i had a rooftop at my building in east village but honestly it always got so crowded and i didn’t find myself up there as much as i thought. eventually nyc will open back up so i hope it wasn’t a dealbreaker for you! and the huge walk in closet it just amazing.
house hunters with Kristee haha. I loved the one where the room seemed to be separate from the kitchen area. I liked the first one too, but I’d want a washer and dryer In unit.
I liked the one with the walk in closet. Depending on how big it is, I would consider putting clothes on 1 side and my bed on the other. This is kind of assuming, you don’t have regular overnight visitors. But I would try turning the walk in closet into a mini bedroom and then have the rest of the place as a living room/kitchen combo. But that is just me.
The first one was amazing, and it had 3 closets..you could divide your Spring/Summer clothes in one, Fall/Winter in another, and Miscellaneous item in the last one. 😊
I like the first building and the last building the best. I think they had the best layouts, seemed fairly spacious and had lots of light. If it were me, I'd go with one of the apartments in the last building because it sounds like a much better deal and the terrace still looked nice. But if the roof is really important to you I think the first building is the best.
I liked the first one for the separation... I LOVED the one on the lower floors floorplan... And I really liked the one with the high ceilings and walk-in closets. I think you need to trust your gut. Just listening to you sounds like your preferring the first one or the last one. Did you get to check out the terrace to see how it felt?
As someone who lives in a studio, having a little separation between the kitchen area and the bedroom area helps a lot - it's hard to relax otherwise honestly. If the space you pick doesn't have that naturally, I'd recommend hanging a lightweight curtain on a wire to provide at least the illusion of more separation (that's what I did).
Not going to lie, I watched this twice. So fun to see the different apartments. I like all of them, the views are spectacular. It's especially nice for me as I just did some house hunting myself (although in a small town so I saw one place and have just signed lease!).
All these Studios are huge, I like small ones. My opinion is get something you, will feel Happy to live in it, more than a year. Have money left after bills with no stress. Utilities are good if, some are included. Some Studios comes with all of them. Good thing you are looking at places where you can get around in transportation with no problems.
I love the one in the newer building with the L shape to help separate the kitchen some - but like you said, it's too close to construction. I think the last place has good deals but if you don't love the immediate area then it seems like not the best idea. Definitely can't wait to see what you choose!
I am a Brooklyn nite. Born and raised in the area that you are looking. I like the first one the space looked good it was roomy. I also like the one with the walk-in closet. You could do so much with that space. Good luck you will make the right decision for you.
As someone who works at a Luxury building I would recommend that you find out what’s the deal with even going on the rooftop, at my building you have to book it and we have 700 apartments so it’s hard to get a slot ! it might be better to get the last apartment with just the terrace because it’s more accessible during these times!!
The first unit was definitely my favorite even thought it didn’t have washer/dryer. I enjoyed how the living space was separated from the kitchen and the living space looked really big
literally same, I could picture myself living in a place like that if I was single and living in NY lol
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.

@Lane Shane Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.

@Lane Shane It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
Living in a studio I would personally want a little separation between my bed and kitchen like that first unit. Just my personal preference!
If you like a building, then you should negotiate the amenities. Tell them you would take it if they waive the amenity fee. Tell them you saw other buildings that are offering no charge for amenity. Especially the third building you saw with the brand new kitchen. They had so many units available. They are desperate for renters in nyc right now and there is so much in the inventory. EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE...including the rent.
Great advice! My cousin just did this in NYC & got an amazing deal!
I liked the first apartment you looked at the best! It makes a huge difference to have the 'kitchen' at least somewhat separated from the 'bedroom'.
That was my favorite as well! Especially with all the separation of everything.
omg the kitchen with the windows behind the sink, how nice your view would be while you wash dishes haha
Same🤣🤣
Personally, I’d rather have a kitchen separate from my living/sleeping/work space. I recently lived in a small place where the kitchen was in the main area and it was hard to separate life in that way
I always feel ike in places like that, whatever you cook will stick to your couch or bed sheets and stuff and I just dont like that
I agree with this plus the closets being near or across the cooking area will definitely make your clothes smell like food.
The good vibes with the walk in closet that also had high ceilings - thats my pick for ya. Excited to see what you pick!!
I like #1! I don't like how they put kitchens in the main room of studios. I have a studio and my kitchen is separate. I cook a lotttt from scratch so I think I need that separation a lot. But I think maybe you would like the unit with the walk in closet more?

Whichever apartment you’re getting you sure are moving on up. I’m so happy for you!
These are my notes LOL:
building one: L SHAPED, pay $50/month for amenities, no washer dryer, good vibes, had rooftop and gym
building two: BYE.
building three: (unit 1): first three months free, amenities are $80/month
building three: (unit 2 & 3): byeeeee
building three (unit 4): L shaped, smaller, no floor to ceiling windows, cheaper, closer to the ground, noisier
building four: (unit 1): bye
building four (unit 2): cheaper, free two months
building four: (unit 3): tall ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, big closet,
building four (unit 4): one large window floor to ceiling, washer dryer, dishwasher, cheaper, free amenities for entire lease. no rooftop, terrace is present, not good area
I feel like im similiar to your kristee because you want a good deal and make sure you get as many free things as possible.

If Kristee rules out the second building I think the second last unit we seen was IT 💁🏻♀️
Sitting here acting like I'm watching HGTV's House Hunters trying to guess which one you will pick
The rooftop wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me the amenities being waived the life of the lease is amazing! That’d be my pick

I could not live in such a small place especially working from home, you’ll be working in your living room that’s actually your bedroom. But I also have cats and a Malamute doggo
The first one was soooo good! It has zones, I think it could be such a great space to live in. 🖤
I agree with mostly everyone else that the first until is beast and has everything necessary and that you want! I like the separation of the space! I also liked the fourth building with the walk in closet unit and the other unit there too was great!

I’m so obsessed with your NYC vlogs. So happy you’re back!
The first one!!!!! It looks bigger than all and the kitchen set up and sleeping space looks good!!
#1 was my favorite!!
The upgrade is real!! I love it. So happy for you :)
Omg the view in some of those places!! I can’t wait for more apartment hunting or moving vlogs!!! So exciting !
Can you share the prices?
I liked the bigger unit in building four. The closet space is really important in a studio. The kitchen back splash was pretty too.
I loved the first apartment. The kitchen had the two closets and a tune of cabinet space. The floor plan made it look like it would be easy to separate the different areas.
Wow I'm in love with that first one! so much closet space and a separate kitchen! I live in a studio too and having a separate kitchen is a game-changer. Also, my view out the window is into other people's apartments LOL so I'm jealous of the amazing views you'll have no matter what you choose
you are my favorite vlogger ❤️ so excited for this move
The walk-in closet one is my pick!!! I got good vibes from it too!! I also loved the very first one too!!
I am so excited for you! In unit washer and dryer is amazing! I hope you find a great place. I understand taking advantage of lower rent. The view is amazing!
so excited! living vicariously through you ughhh
I liked the very first one ... WoW windows and lay out was Awesome ...
Just on face value loved the gym and outside space .
Check out the night views .
moving to Brooklyn in the fall, I hope I see you!!! Also Im so happy, these apartments are such a nice upgrade from your current space
Definitely imagine your furniture layout for all of them before you decide
that very first one was my favorite, looked more spacious too the way it was layed out
or building #4/unit 2 with the bigger space
definitely one with the kitchen in the hall instead of the main area, will give you more space for your furniture
Super excited for your moving vlogs, good luck with your decision ☺️

And just because there’s a rooftop doesn’t necessarily mean the views will remain. They are building so many new condos, high rises etc. and obstructing views. I used to live in one of the luxury buildings and our rooftop had a gorgeous north/Manhattan view for about a year...then construction of a very tall condo started :(
I first found you when you were looking for apartments last time! So fun to watch
I loved:
- Building #1 - got a good vibe from that
- Building #3 Unit #4 - good layout
- Building #4 Unit #2
I personally would look for:
huge windows -> it's NCY, so you want to see something from it, plus it makes the unit feel much bigger
good blinds for the windows
a separation from kitchen and living space
good price
fitness area
I would not so much look for:
washer/dryer in unit
rooftop
Thanks for taking us along! Can't wait to see what happens :-)
I love the one with the big windows and high ceilings!
Love this video and absolutely loved the target shadow comment hahahah your humor is my favorite
Last two were my faves! Sending you positive moving vibes! 💕
I work remotely and living in a quiet place is a game changerrrrr!
Lol im so invested in this journey 🤣
They all had great potential! I really liked building #3. I think it had some great unit options and if they have several units open you might be able to negotiate to get the amenities waived, etc. but so excited to see what you decide!!
The Manhattan view!! The finishes in there look 👌🏼
Oooooor the high ceilings and walk in closet! More affordable and lots of space - you will be soooo thankful for that closet space coming from your current place!
Waited until the very end to check out the comments (gave it a like first, of course) but I liked the first one the best - floor-to-ceiling windows, three closets, and what looks to be a spacious kitchen. But boo, no in-unit laundry! I did like the one towards the end that had the kind-of bedroom nook because that way you could still have SOME separation even in a studio. Excited to see where the next two weeks takes you! I was preparing to move to NYC just as the pandemic hit but hopefully I can be there in the next year or so!
Personally i’d go for the first one! Bigger, so much light AND separate kitchen which i think it’s going to be a big plus when you’ll have to spend to much time at home :)
Will you talk about prices? Specifically for the ones you didn’t rent. Super helpful for people moving to NYC soon
After I move I’ll go back and add the buildings and prices of the ones I didn’t pick in the description!
@@kristee.vetter awesome! Thanks ☺️
Hey would you mind giving us the prices?
i hope you chose the last building - especially since it was cheaper and had waived amenities fees. i had a rooftop at my building in east village but honestly it always got so crowded and i didn’t find myself up there as much as i thought. eventually nyc will open back up so i hope it wasn’t a dealbreaker for you! and the huge walk in closet it just amazing.
house hunters with Kristee haha. I loved the one where the room seemed to be separate from the kitchen area. I liked the first one too, but I’d want a washer and dryer In unit.
I love the very first flat, very good layout with separate kitchen. Looking forward to finding out which one you’re going to go for xx
I liked the one with the walk in closet. Depending on how big it is, I would consider putting clothes on 1 side and my bed on the other. This is kind of assuming, you don’t have regular overnight visitors. But I would try turning the walk in closet into a mini bedroom and then have the rest of the place as a living room/kitchen combo. But that is just me.
i liked the first one or the one with the huge walk in closet!
Last building. Closets and those windows!!
The first one was amazing, and it had 3 closets..you could divide your Spring/Summer clothes in one, Fall/Winter in another, and Miscellaneous item in the last one. 😊
I like the first one the most but also the one with what you called an alcove. Wishing you all the best on making this decision. 😊
Go with your gut and don’t compromise! Good luck!🥰
I’m so excited for these moving videos!!!!!!!
I like the first building and the last building the best. I think they had the best layouts, seemed fairly spacious and had lots of light. If it were me, I'd go with one of the apartments in the last building because it sounds like a much better deal and the terrace still looked nice. But if the roof is really important to you I think the first building is the best.
I really liked the first one the most! The flow felt alot better than some of the others and there was a big a** gym and a nice rooftop area! 😌
The one with the walk-in closet, floor to ceiling windows, washer dryer.
I liked the first one for the separation... I LOVED the one on the lower floors floorplan... And I really liked the one with the high ceilings and walk-in closets. I think you need to trust your gut. Just listening to you sounds like your preferring the first one or the last one. Did you get to check out the terrace to see how it felt?
As someone who lives in a studio, having a little separation between the kitchen area and the bedroom area helps a lot - it's hard to relax otherwise honestly. If the space you pick doesn't have that naturally, I'd recommend hanging a lightweight curtain on a wire to provide at least the illusion of more separation (that's what I did).
You never mentioned the rent. What is the price range currently in those buildings?
My guess is A LOT 🤭
She would’ve mentioned the prices if she wanted to share that detail. Most likely on the expensive side since it’s NYC
@@love_nyc_ right I’m referring to where she is with the search in this video. Wasn’t ready to share prices at this point
Building #3 unit 1 and building #4 unit 2 are my favs!
Not going to lie, I watched this twice. So fun to see the different apartments. I like all of them, the views are spectacular. It's especially nice for me as I just did some house hunting myself (although in a small town so I saw one place and have just signed lease!).
All these Studios are huge, I like small ones. My opinion is get something you, will feel Happy to live in it, more than a year. Have money left after bills with no stress. Utilities are good if, some are included. Some Studios comes with all of them. Good thing you are looking at places where you can get around in transportation with no problems.
I love the one in the newer building with the L shape to help separate the kitchen some - but like you said, it's too close to construction. I think the last place has good deals but if you don't love the immediate area then it seems like not the best idea. Definitely can't wait to see what you choose!
I just watched again and the very very first one is definitely the best!!!!
I am a Brooklyn nite. Born and raised in the area that you are looking. I like the first one the space looked good it was roomy. I also like the one with the walk-in closet. You could do so much with that space. Good luck you will make the right decision for you.
so excited for you!! the floor the ceiling windows are HOT
Love most of them, the ones with the most windows are defiantly my favourite. God I can’t wait to find a condo myself with AMENITIES!!
