  • The rental market in New York City is crazy. Everyone knows it! However, we love NYC SO much that we decided to join the Manhattan apartment hunt to see if we can find a place that's perfect for us. We laid out our budget, our must-haves, and our nice-to-haves before scheduling unit tours. Some things we're looking for? A nice kitchen, laundry in-unit, space for our cat Micia, outdoor space, good lighting, a doorman building, and more. The budget? $6,000 per month USD. We sort of feel like this is our very own Pasini version of "House Hunters". Tell us which apartment YOU think we should have chosen in the comments!

    As a New York native, I've lived everywhere in NYC. My honest advice is not to live in the city (Manhattan). The prices are insane. Everything is overpriced. You can easily find a much more affordable place that's even bigger and better in any other borough. Believe me, you'll still have all the luxury and availability of the city with a much better budget. Definitely try Brooklyn or Queens. You won't be sorry 😀
    Happy hunting! Love your videos!

    If you can give up the idea of living in Manhattan itself, you could definitely find more affordable rents in the other boroughs. Since you love Arthur Ave so much perhaps an apartment in that area. Or parts of Queens and/or Brooklyn that are very close to Manhattan would work for you. Esp. since you can get some great views of the Manhattan skyline from those places.

    As someone who lived in NY for 5 years, and lived everywhere from tiny studios to luxury buildings i will say... you will RARELY use the extravagant building amenities (pool, meeting room, cinema, etc) ... I have found that it's not worth the extra money for them, you can typically find all those things within walking distance from your apartment. That would be my little tip!!! Good luck on the hunt

    But Nashville is expensive as well. At least you can grow your own food in Nashville. Save money with a backyard garden. Go to Italy on vacation every third year, or fifth year.

    I feel like you guys should look for an apartment/condo/townhouse/house in Brooklyn or Queens as it's still close enough to Manhattan without Manhattan's prices. Also, you guys should try temporary living. There's a commercial I keep seeing on RUclips that says you can move as often as you want to many cities all over the world, and you move into fully furnished apartments every time you move, you stay as long as you want in one place then move to the next. A month in NYC, three in San Francisco, 2 weeks in San Diego, 2 months in Chicago, then back home to Nashville, or you could find an apartment in one of the cities if you fall in love with the city.

    I think you should consider other boroughs. We recently rented out our Brooklyn apartment for $5,200. It’s a pet friendly building with a full time doorman, outdoor space, and gym. 2 bed/2 bath with a large kitchen, large balcony, and washer-dryer in unit. Doesn’t have the view of the first one, but faces a quiet tree lined street with a view of Manhattan in the distance. Modern building and modern apartment in a good neighborhood. 2 blocks away from the train station and only 20-30 minutes away from Manhattan. There are a lot of nice apartments in your budget.

    I’ve lived in a lot of apartments over the years before owning a house. One thing I experienced and seen with recent Tiktok stories is don’t rent a place at your top budget because they could easily raise the rent when your lease renews and you will be hunting for a new place again. Go for the 2nd or 3rd option if you think your budget couldn’t handle an increase the next year or so. I have seen a lot of people with 20%+ increase in rent since the pandemic.

I'm in the lower Hudson Valley, either a 90 minute drive to midtown or 90 minute train ride to Grand Central, and my mortgage plus two car payments and insurance is less than the cheapest apartment they looked at. And at the start of COVID, so many people left the city and started buying up here that housing prices skyrocketed.

    While Manhattan is most definitely expensive, the other boroughs aren’t. Before she had me, my mom lived in the Rego Park/Forest Hills, Queens area and she commuted to work in Manhattan on the M and R. If you don’t mind taking the subway, you can very much live in Queens, Brooklyn or even the Bronx around Arthur Ave. Remember, transit is meant for EVERYONE
    Another thing to consider is to move to NJ, more specifically urban Hudson County. It still feels like NYC, but not quite. I used to live in Jersey City and I enjoyed the convenience of being right across the Hudson from Manhattan and being able to go there whenever I wanted without having to worry about the price just to commute like I do now for the LIRR. Jersey City, while now pricey due to housing demand, is still cheaper than Manhattan. But neighboring towns like Union City and Weehawken are cheaper and pretty good thanks to transit options.

    NY can be your favorite place to visit and refresh. For me that is Kauai and Venice. I always want to live there when I visit but untruth it probably wouldn't be as special if I did. With your sweet backyard I would think you would

    If this is your budget, have you thought of buying something in Italy, as a second home/dwelling? Redoing it, local restaurant reviews, etc. would be interesting for your videos. I enjoy your videos and positivity!

    So my son and daughter-in-law just moved to NYC, they decided to move just outside of downtown to New Rochelle. The rent is half the price of what you were looking at, but still very much a city feel. They have a beautiful new apartment, in a new building, a ton of amenities (no pool), and a short train ride into the city. (Driving in takes much longer). Just a thought for you guys if you’re serious about moving to NYC.

    Hey, dont forget that when your lease expires your rent WILL go up as much as they want. There is no more rent control in New York . Try Brooklyn; there are some really nice neighborhoods and it's easy to get to the city from there, plus you'll have lower rents .

    Dont bother with the balcony. you won't ever use it. also, you will have the problem of the furniture, laundry etc being blown off the balcony because of the wind -- being on a high floor makes it worse. And you will have to worry about the cat falling off the balcony unless you figure out a way to enclose the whole thing and maintain that from the elements.
