@@BadboyMax1986 The DESPICABLE prices are why I refuse to live in Nuke York. Most overpriced city in the nation. The ones in my city are not even HALF the price for 50% more space! Only three years of rent at the third apartment Cash visited is an outrageous $159,000! It's cheaper to wait two years and save up to buy a house somewhere else other than Nuke York or California.
@ 9:05 That aluminum foil in the cracks and corners of the under-sink cabinet is probably to deter mice since they wouldn't like to chew through the metal. Mice or other vermin. Either way, that is not a good sign.
AHA! I've definitely learned something today! I never knew that and would have been just as lost as Cash with the same question(s)! Thanks for the education!
I can confirm that. If you have a pipe that rodents crawl thru, just stuff a couple of wads of steel wool in it. They won't chew thru it because it will literally tear up their face.
The prices in NY consistently blow me away. I can’t imagine paying that much for these three places. Especially the first one. All I see there are rats and roaches running the place. No way! They are just another reminder to me that my little house is actually a mansion, by NY standards. Lol
@@BlueberryFundip spoken like a true renter. you do know those things can still break, get clogged, and just not be maintained too right? or are you really that naive and ignorant?
OMG that first apartment is truly terrifying. At least the rats will protect you from being attacked on the way to your front door. After the stove sets the refrigerator on fire you can run around in circles outside until the fire department arrives. Never in a million years would I stay there.

The first apt is a nightmare, seriously. I could swear I saw that apt in a murder mystery movie. The landlords should get a summons for a court date for their lack of ethics, and the prices for these apts. Great video. Ms. B. Churchill
So, who pays over $5,000/mo for a dungeon with low quality appliances that has massive privacy and lots of bars on the windows? Drug dealers? Persons in Witness Protection?
@@elainesmith7512 to be fair, the "action" is a good reason to move to NYC or other high cost of living places. Not sure about those apartments but I have experienced this moving within Detroit and its suburbs. If you are in Ann Arbor or Downtown Detroit you are close to investors and people doing similar work so you can start research or business that you can't elsewhere. But if you are in Southfield or Dearborn you can do less. If you happen to live in the UP you can't do anything at all.
If I had a job that paid enough (the cost of living where I live is a lot less, so the normal pay rates are the same), if they would update the appliances, I would stay there. But they don't have to be brand new, the ones in that apartment look the most , well used.
OMG! They get worse! Windowless rooms are not rooms just big cupboards! The basement apartment was just the pits. Now I love NYC but I'd rather not live there if that was my only option. I know that I shouldn't be, after over 3 years of following you Cash, but I'm still shocked at how greedy landlords can be and how little you get for your money! To think that I though that London prices were bad. Thanks guys.
London here, I came here just to feel better about how bad I feel about London's prices per living standard. it kinda worked, then I remembered that two wrongs don't make a right and I'm now even more depressed
The first place is a bit dingy It would be fun to see the drain holes from the neighbors retaining wall spurting out on the patio when it rains I bet you could drink that. Like fresh mountain water. You have a private water feature or a pool if a leaf lands on the tiny drain. A least their on some racks to dry your cloths after the rain stops.
Cash-It’s amazing how you have such amazing transitions that demonstrate such great diversity and excellent timing. I always feel like I am walking through each apartment with you. That is a great quality to keep building on. Humor-A+ Keep going!☮️👏👏👏👏
Hi Cash and to your friend, very interesting tiny NYC apartments. I like privacy. I hope it is safe for a single person. Great tour stay cool and well👍😎
The subterranean apartment was the most interesting, but it's vulnerable to flooding (especially noting those drain pipes into your "patio"), and rats love basements. But it's great for vampires! All the others were somewhat similar, but if I'm going to pay over $2,000/month I don't want to have to share a relatively small space.
IMHO: About the first apartment: In winter weather, how can one maneuver through the snow and slippery ice in trying to get to that apartment day after day?
No. If you care about yourself, and the life you live, you will NOT offer yourself up to one of these places. They`re not just ugly, they`re fkn dangerous, and NOBODY should be living like that. Absolutely nobody. Guys.. you gotta walk the fk out on the drivel they`re giving you. STAND UP FOR YOURSELVES!
Could you imagine renting this place during that crazy rain/flooding they just had!!? and the price! that is absolutely un-hinged. How do any of the people employed in that City afford to live anywhere near where they work? and that other "2 bedroom" was clearly a 1 bed that had its living room/kitchen cut off. This is so sad.
Sometimes, I wonder if Cash is doing a parody show, because some of those places he's talking up are hovels. Is there really anything great about renting the mole man's lair?
I call his view on the apartments fatalistic. If you only get these kind of dumps for 5k $ rent a month what can you do? Apparently there are still enough suckers who pay these prices.
It's Amazing what a person gets for $5K. That first place was scary! Imagine being a girl coming home after dark and having some predator follow you into that dead end patio that leads to the front door? Ahh....no! lol 🧚♀
I love watching these! I live in London, amazing how different but similar things are. What I dont get is why is the water pressure checked in every apartment?
I swear Cash showed us apartment #1 in around 2020. It cost a lot less then, of course, as NY a was struggling to cope. That apartment is STILL a BIG FAT NO. Seriously creepy and scary, and most definitely, infested.
As sometime who grew up in NYC living in apartments i can tell you that 1st place was definitely the super's apartment back in the day & in many buildings still is. Either the super in that building doesn't live on site or has refused to live down there & been given an apartment in the msin part of the building. Can't say if Blake gum with all those rat traps scattered around. & in that place & 1 of the bothers the stove was right next to the refrigerator leaving absolutely no space. Perhaps someone can explain what the black marks are on n the side on the refrigerator right next to the stoves? For me every single place was a big fat NO. Maybe 2moro will be better. We've had 2 days of fiascos in a row so we can only hope
I agree. Super's apt. The "irrigation system" is the drainage run off from the property next door. when it rain your outdoor space is flooded. The drain better be clear.
I can't imagine paying $5k a month for THAT! You have to _REALLY_ love living in the city to pay that amount. Even ½ of that amount for rent is insane to me. Im in Michigan & the most I've ever paid was $900 for a country style 3 bedroom with a huge living room.
Yeah, I was having this conversation elsewhere - people do pay a premium to live in cities. I know the rent is cheaper, but I wouldn’t live outside a coastal city for any amount of money. Just not my thing. But after paying through the nose in DC, I finally moved to Philly where it’s cheaper and more down to earth. My rent is $1800 for a 2 bed/2 bath in a cool, super safe neighborhood. NYC prices are absolutely insane and not worth it.
Those basement apartments. I’d be afraid of rats, mice and bugs, big time. And those holes in the wall, weren’t irrigation holes. Those are drains for the patios/yards above. If it rains a lot, it might flood. Yikes!
Wonder if the first apartment was at one time the superintendent's/janitor's apartment for many years/decades until the current building owner(s)' decided to rent it out. ????🤫🤔🤔
If apartment 1 got a deep clean, furniture renovation, home pest extermination, it wouldn't be half-bad. Not to mention a way to prevent flooding from getting inside.
that 1st 2 bedroom should be illegal in the USA. Seriously, people are living like peasants. The regulations need to change for landlords of all building types for BTL. You can get an amazing 2 bedroom for the same price in the upper east and west sides, hells kitchen and hudson yards. The USA needs to adopt the regulations of the UK. Here, especially in London, its illegal for BTL apartments to be in such a state and they are regularly checked.
Right now the market in the city is ridiculous. All the middle value apartments are taken. We are left with overpriced bizarre or really wealthy rentals on the whole.
So, bearing in mind this was about 15 years ago... the last time I lived in an apartment, in Sunnyvale CA (SF Bay Area), it was 900 sq.ft. one BR. I've been sleeping on a queen since I left the military 30+ years ago. My rent when I left to move in with my girlfriend (now wife) was 860 a month... and I thought that was too much. In what was and is still the second most expensive region in CONUS. NYC rents are still completely insane... and I don't get it. To afford to live there comfortably, you MUST be making at least low six figures, which by necessity means $15 burgers for lunch. So they aren't gaining anything when $115k per year is "poverty level" pay rate. Always use the "Time/Price" equation to compare relative things rather than simple numbers. If you live in this sort of environment and aren't just visiting, you get a very skewed perspective...
Why is it a thing in New York to have the stove and the fridge right next to each other? I really thought even that upgraded kitchen's layout in ( I think it was apartment 2) with the sink in the middle, was the best. Even though it did not have much counter space.
Those wardrobes not being bolted down even more drives home the fact that it's just a glorified, multi-room studio 😅😅 I like that Cash mentioned Alex's IG and not TikTok. Some of us refuse to use that stupid app. That's preposterous that Cash even suggests dividing off a third bedroom from the space in the living room. NYC tenements, here we come again!!!
Coming from a small town in OH, these are so strange and so extremely expensive to me. They all pretty much have the same look to them but I can't get over the price. Something that looks similar here runs around 950-1000 which we think is outrageous. We don't have much that looks similar except one. I really enjoy your videos and a view of something I hope to never have to deal with.
I am from Michigan and we have prices slightly higher than Ohio. Thing about real-estate is location, location, location. Also NYC jobs pay a LOT more than Ohio or Michigan and you don't spend $600+ on a car every month.
@@jhonshephard921 Hey there neighbor!! We're on a fixed income so we're pretty much "stuck" into a certain price range. Yes, you're right about COLA and car costs. I wonder how much they pay per month for subway fairs and cabs? Do they eat out a lot? All of the things that would break the bank for maybe you and definitely us. They also have rules like no smoking. No can do. We've been in the same home for almost 20 years, if not 20 years. We plant flowers, trees etc... we can plant a small garden if we want. In NYC there's no place to do that. It's so foreign to me. Do you feel that way?
I agree. Cash's videos exist to remind us to be grateful for what we have...much cheaper rents so we can live alone and not be tormented or tortured and ripped off badly by people who are psychos but have plenty of money and good credit. Man...F New York!!
LOL! I guess Mr. Jordan has toured too many of those upscale properties. He's coming across to me that even he no longer likes/appreciates these "regular" units! LOL!!! HEY! Is this the first time that we are seeing Alex without any type of headwear? The only one I think I would consider is the very last two-bedroom (unbelievable that it was three bedrooms at one time) at $4600K/month. It's nice, it's on the second floor, and it's in the hottest location of the city now (2nd Ave in the East Village)
Easy tip for fridge doors usually the bottom hinge can be unscrewed, with that off the door will drop down and off. Look at the edge pf the door and were it goes on the fridge there should be a plug or a cap covering the other sides top holes you take the cap off remove the hinge pin from the other side swap it over and replace cap on the previous hinge side on the door and fridge find the holes on the other side for the hinge, lift the door into place and screw the bottom hinge back in place. If your door has a handle there is usually a badge on the door hiding the holes for the handle if you need to swap it also. Hope this helps come of you.
These prices make me glad I never had any desire to live in NYC. In Louisville, my roommate and I plus my GIANT breed dog libe in a luxury 2 bed 2 bath for just about 1525.
Retired appliance guy here... Most of those refrigerators have reversible doors. It's easy to do if you know what you're doing, but I would never recommend a tenant do it.
Hi Cash 💸, That first apartment is good if your a vampire 🧛♂️, not only is it dark, but it's a great hiding place if you are one. The other apartments view isn't. Love you Cash 💸.
That secret concrete box with bars on all windows, with the potential to get flooded, sounds like loads of fun. That kind of thing should come with a free lifetime supply of CBD capsules or something.
"Some type of irrigation system." SMH. No that is the drain system so rain water above has a place to go other than the street. That whole back patio area is going to flood with every heavy rain or snow. You aren't going to want to put anything out there and you probably need a few sand bags to block that door so flood water doesn't come into your living space.
So innovative, the way he is actually SELLING us, his viewers on these tiny apartments. LOL. Video title couldve been "NYC Apartment listing: $4995" but he words it differently to bring us in. He has us captivated through his journalism, but he ultimately is doing what he does, and that's selling real estate. Props to you, Cash. Greetings from Merced, CA!
as a person who was constantly moving around with family when was a child, in concrete environments and houses, and finally settled out from 14 year-old for 10 years in a park-like housing neighborhood, with a lot of trees and a small lake, i can't live anymore in this kind of a apartments
love it when they box off the gas meter ...makes too much sense!!! It's not 'underground , nor basement Cash...it's called Garden Level..which it is...garden level!! That second one needs an island with locking casters on it at least for the counter space!!! horrible
Many fridge doors can be switched around so they open the other way, but I don’t know if it works on the ones shown here. Overall, these are really beautiful apartments. I can only dream.
I'm fascinated with the cost of NYC apartments. I guess jobs pay A LOT more in NY. I LOVE the variety of the neighborhoods and layouts of the apartments. Is water pressure a problem, because the host always mentions it?
I always heard jobs there did pay more. I don't know how a lot of people would make it, even with two jobs. There must be lousy water pressure in sone apartments.
He acts surprised that the non basement unit is smaller and costs more but that basement unit was probably completely under water a few weeks ago and this is becoming the norm for NYC.
So thankful I live in a rent-controlled building. This garbage out there with these ridiculous prices is why my 30 year old daughter still lives at home. She says she'd rather live here than with roommates she may not be able to trust.
Also you are paying the rent and not her.

Those basement apartments. I’d be afraid of rats, mice and bugs, big time. And those holes in the wall, weren’t irrigation holes. Those are drains for the patios/yards above. If it rains a lot, it might flood. Yikes!
Love the privacy of the first one, it’s giving grimy feels.
California: Our cost of living is the highest in the nation.
NY: Hold my cannoli.
Id totally live in that first place, I bet it stays nice and cool in those NY summers.
You make this video fun to watch. ❤
Wonder if the first apartment was at one time the superintendent's/janitor's apartment for many years/decades until the current building owner(s)' decided to rent it out. ????🤫🤔🤔
If apartment 1 got a deep clean, furniture renovation, home pest extermination, it wouldn't be half-bad. Not to mention a way to prevent flooding from getting inside.
that 1st 2 bedroom should be illegal in the USA. Seriously, people are living like peasants. The regulations need to change for landlords of all building types for BTL. You can get an amazing 2 bedroom for the same price in the upper east and west sides, hells kitchen and hudson yards. The USA needs to adopt the regulations of the UK. Here, especially in London, its illegal for BTL apartments to be in such a state and they are regularly checked.
Right now the market in the city is ridiculous. All the middle value apartments are taken. We are left with overpriced bizarre or really wealthy rentals on the whole.
Yay top 189 and top 13 likes and comments. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Thanks for posting these videos.
“It comes with a garden!”😂
"Affordable"
So, bearing in mind this was about 15 years ago... the last time I lived in an apartment, in Sunnyvale CA (SF Bay Area), it was 900 sq.ft. one BR. I've been sleeping on a queen since I left the military 30+ years ago. My rent when I left to move in with my girlfriend (now wife) was 860 a month... and I thought that was too much. In what was and is still the second most expensive region in CONUS.
NYC rents are still completely insane... and I don't get it. To afford to live there comfortably, you MUST be making at least low six figures, which by necessity means $15 burgers for lunch. So they aren't gaining anything when $115k per year is "poverty level" pay rate. Always use the "Time/Price" equation to compare relative things rather than simple numbers. If you live in this sort of environment and aren't just visiting, you get a very skewed perspective...
Honestly, no one can live comfortably in NYC without a 100K salary.
Why is it a thing in New York to have the stove and the fridge right next to each other? I really thought even that upgraded kitchen's layout in ( I think it was apartment 2) with the sink in the middle, was the best. Even though it did not have much counter space.
Those wardrobes not being bolted down even more drives home the fact that it's just a glorified, multi-room studio 😅😅
I like that Cash mentioned Alex's IG and not TikTok. Some of us refuse to use that stupid app.
That's preposterous that Cash even suggests dividing off a third bedroom from the space in the living room. NYC tenements, here we come again!!!
I just can't believe what New Yorkers think is spacious...and, how many ppl there are making enough on their own to pay $5k a month!?!?
By Alex's sweat stains, it's hot outside and possibly inside😅
It's incredibly easy to reverse a refrigerator door. The more you know.....
Love the thumbnail!
Are you sure that 1st one isn't the set of the new SAW movie .. absolutely horrifying at a bargain 5k.... insanity 😂
Coming from a small town in OH, these are so strange and so extremely expensive to me. They all pretty much have the same look to them but I can't get over the price. Something that looks similar here runs around 950-1000 which we think is outrageous. We don't have much that looks similar except one. I really enjoy your videos and a view of something I hope to never have to deal with.
I am from Michigan and we have prices slightly higher than Ohio. Thing about real-estate is location, location, location. Also NYC jobs pay a LOT more than Ohio or Michigan and you don't spend $600+ on a car every month.
@@jhonshephard921 Hey there neighbor!! We're on a fixed income so we're pretty much "stuck" into a certain price range. Yes, you're right about COLA and car costs. I wonder how much they pay per month for subway fairs and cabs? Do they eat out a lot? All of the things that would break the bank for maybe you and definitely us. They also have rules like no smoking. No can do. We've been in the same home for almost 20 years, if not 20 years. We plant flowers, trees etc... we can plant a small garden if we want. In NYC there's no place to do that. It's so foreign to me. Do you feel that way?
@@faegrrrlJust an FYI from a fellow Ohioan. Not smoking will save you a couple of hundred dollars a month!
@@theoriginalbridgetconnors It would save me 60. I roll my own. We're on a fixed income.
I agree. Cash's videos exist to remind us to be grateful for what we have...much cheaper rents so we can live alone and not be tormented or tortured and ripped off badly by people who are psychos but have plenty of money and good credit. Man...F New York!!
I think this is why so many are moving to Florida 😮
LOL! I guess Mr. Jordan has toured too many of those upscale properties. He's coming across to me that even he no longer likes/appreciates these "regular" units! LOL!!! HEY! Is this the first time that we are seeing Alex without any type of headwear? The only one I think I would consider is the very last two-bedroom (unbelievable that it was three bedrooms at one time) at $4600K/month. It's nice, it's on the second floor, and it's in the hottest location of the city now (2nd Ave in the East Village)
Hence the prices
So incredibly grateful that my mortgage is less than a grand in my little home in California.
Easy tip for fridge doors usually the bottom hinge can be unscrewed, with that off the door will drop down and off. Look at the edge pf the door and were it goes on the fridge there should be a plug or a cap covering the other sides top holes you take the cap off remove the hinge pin from the other side swap it over and replace cap on the previous hinge side on the door and fridge find the holes on the other side for the hinge, lift the door into place and screw the bottom hinge back in place. If your door has a handle there is usually a badge on the door hiding the holes for the handle if you need to swap it also. Hope this helps come of you.
Happy Wednesday Cash ❤
I thought Washington was bad! Holy moly!
These prices make me glad I never had any desire to live in NYC. In Louisville, my roommate and I plus my GIANT breed dog libe in a luxury 2 bed 2 bath for just about 1525.
first place had a few rat traps in the yard, not going to be putting much out there
That's not tinfoil, it's metallic duct tape. It would prevent anything from entering the unit...
That first apartment is so awesome!!! I’d be all about that one
As someone who lives on a largish farm in rural Kansas, this is spectacularly interesting. I LOVE seeing how the other half lives.
This apartment has the vibes of a human enclosure at a reverse-zoo.
Holy crap the price of rent.
I like the places you presented, but your videos of you with your family in Japan are much better.
Ngl there were no less than 5 rat traps between the outdoor spaces of the first place. That’d be an instant skip for me. Otherwise solid spots
Retired appliance guy here... Most of those refrigerators have reversible doors. It's easy to do if you know what you're doing, but I would never recommend a tenant do it.
4595 for that my god 🤣
Isn't the cut-out for a fire escape?
Hi Cash 💸,
That first apartment is good if your a vampire 🧛♂️, not only is it dark, but it's a great hiding place if you are one. The other apartments view isn't. Love you Cash 💸.
Basement apartment looks like something you would see in a crime drama.
Seventh. Happy hump day. Good job, Cash. 😊 Is Japan in your near future?
That secret concrete box with bars on all windows, with the potential to get flooded, sounds like loads of fun.
That kind of thing should come with a free lifetime supply of CBD capsules or something.
"Some type of irrigation system."
SMH. No that is the drain system so rain water above has a place to go other than the street. That whole back patio area is going to flood with every heavy rain or snow. You aren't going to want to put anything out there and you probably need a few sand bags to block that door so flood water doesn't come into your living space.
As I said in your last vlog I'm glad I live in northern ireland, mortgage free!!!!!xx
So innovative, the way he is actually SELLING us, his viewers on these tiny apartments. LOL. Video title couldve been "NYC Apartment listing: $4995" but he words it differently to bring us in. He has us captivated through his journalism, but he ultimately is doing what he does, and that's selling real estate. Props to you, Cash. Greetings from Merced, CA!
!!!!!! That first apartment.
With the flooding in the area lately, I doubt this would be a great place to rent.
How can you have a bedroom without windows? What a death trap.
as a person who was constantly moving around with family when was a child, in concrete environments and houses, and finally settled out from 14 year-old for 10 years in a park-like housing neighborhood, with a lot of trees and a small lake, i can't live anymore in this kind of a apartments
love it when they box off the gas meter ...makes too much sense!!! It's not 'underground , nor basement Cash...it's called Garden Level..which it is...garden level!! That second one needs an island with locking casters on it at least for the counter space!!! horrible
Hey all the main spaces are small with no windows that kinda sucks
I cannot imagine wanting to live in NYC so bad that you’d be willing to pay those rents.
Many fridge doors can be switched around so they open the other way, but I don’t know if it works on the ones shown here.
Overall, these are really beautiful apartments. I can only dream.
I'm fascinated with the cost of NYC apartments. I guess jobs pay A LOT more in NY. I LOVE the variety of the neighborhoods and layouts of the apartments. Is water pressure a problem, because the host always mentions it?
They don’t, that’s the sad part, New York City is an over priced dumpster 90% of the time
I always heard jobs there did pay more. I don't know how a lot of people would make it, even with two jobs.
There must be lousy water pressure in sone apartments.
He thinks these are affordable?
He acts surprised that the non basement unit is smaller and costs more but that basement unit was probably completely under water a few weeks ago and this is becoming the norm for NYC.
