  • My first New York City apartment! I have since moved out of this cozy space but after living here for 2 years it holds a very special place in my heart. If you have any questions about the apartment or living in NYC please drop them in the comments below!

    I understand the rent price, after all it’s NYC! What I don’t understand is the landlord not putting nice cabinets in the kitchen. That landlord should appreciate a renter who pays the rent on time!

    • @tigertbalm
      @tigertbalm 27 дней назад +2

      I lived in a rent stabilized apartment for years. The landlords did the absolutely bare minimum in my building. It actually helped them to have tenants move out because they could raise the rent a bit when the apartment changed hands. I had no cabinets in my kitchen and ancient appliances.They hadn't painted or cleaned when I moved in. But I was happy that I could afford a apartment in NYC.

    • @Luckoftheirish1

      No kidding. Those cabinets are dated. Homes built in the mid 1980’s had those as standard cabinets.

    I think you are not stabilized any longer if your apt is 3200. Check on it. To the non NYers commenting on living situations in NY : you cannot compare this lifestyle with anywhere else. This is NY. Space is at a premium. But she wanted the location. When I got my first apt. It was in a tenement like walk up with freshly painted bumpy plaster walls and shiny plank floors. You go to the laundromat. I was in heaven.

    When I lived in 450 square foot apartment. I had so many things piled on top of each other. It must be freeing to only own a handful of clothes and no objects or trickets from your past. No need for a storage unit. How amazing to be able to fit 2 people’s worth of clothing into such a small space. You and your partner are such amazing minimalists to be able to have such a sparingly amount of things. You save money on buying clothes and useless items.

    The bathroom is probably original layout of the bathroom, so its big. Rest of the rooms were changed over time. Landlords can rent more smaller apartments than larger apartments in same building. Volume means profit. Building remains same size, the apartments shrink within to increase rental units.
    You did well with layout. Considering the price of the neighborhood, rent stabilized apartments really are a good keep for you.

    That's a nice little apartment, and what a killer bathroom! It's bigger than the one in my house! With apt. hunting, I always had that conflict going on: larger place in less desirable area? or smaller place in charming area? I love the way you kept the decor clean and minimal. With small spaces one must exercise restraint, but it's so hard! Question: did you ever think about switching the table and chairs with the extra counter space? I ask because 2 things: it's nicer to sit a bit further from the A/C on a hot summer night, and also--there's that convenient outlet for appliances. Good luck with the move! I'll be interested to see your new pad!
