If I was visiting NYC I would likely say WOW to a couple of those views too. But I lived in the heart of Montreal for 30 years and when all you can see out the window is more buildings and rooftops - you pretty quickly begin to ignore it and there is very little about that type of view that will brighten you any sense of stress relief and calm. I now live in a much smaller town with a 10 by 10 deck off my kitchen above my ground floor patio and garden and I have breakfast out side among the tree tops whenever the weather permits. Blue skies, green grass and trees, flowering shrubs and gardens, birds chirping and squirrels dashing - thats a view.
But it's a sixth floor walkup. Had a friend in the West Village who lived in a fifth floor walkup, and this is 30-some years ago, and even being young, it was tiring. And then more stairs in the apartment. Beautiful place, but these old legs ain't going to be visiting any time soon! You have to be quite spry to live there.
The 3rd one is nice. My family lived in Brooklyn and im so impressed that my parents could afford it we had a 3 bedroom apartment with a small kitchen but it fit a small table and chairs and we had one bathroom and and a dining room and living room and my bedroom fit a bunk bed that i shared with my sister and my dad worked the tugboat and my mom stayed home. We only had one car but we walked or took the bus or the subway. But then the politics changed and the gangs made it unsafe so after my sister and I were attacked we moved to NJ... i loved the city back then. Thank you for giving us the tour.
That could be because it easier on the plumbing to locate them like that. Sometimes in houses that is done because it saves money to place them that way.
Talk to me more about my dream of living in NYC for 6 months just for the experience. I have lived abroad for 12 years, primarily in Middle Eastern countries so I’m naturally a change junkie.
That depends on the management company! It can usually take a little while to get a tenant in the 8k+ apartments, but for landlords that start advertising before the previous tenant moved out they can minimize the downtime
Interesting selection of apartments and very informative, but you need to remember that when shooting video, don't replicate eye movements with the camera (which you are doing). You need to hold the camera steady for a second or two and then very slowly pan around.
Enjoying your apartment reviews but please keep the rating totals on the left. Running across the bottom the cut it the view of the apartment itself. Thank you
I love the apts but i really dont like the rating banner you have at the bottom. It is distracting and obscures the view of apt when I am tryng to focus on what the apts look like.
The NR train do not run on second avenue. It's just the Q. Since most real estate in NYC does not have floor to ceiling or in-unit W/D its somewhat off just kind of say, you can't get a 5 without that. NYC is an older city, maybe acknowledge that and move on. It is well known that south facing views in NYC are the best for natural light, regardless of the window type.
The only decent-looking windows, are in the last unit. The windows in all of the other units are really ugly. The black frames, no muntins----they look like prison windows.
The ceilings are so low-oppressive, I ‘m feeling a migraine coming on! 🤯 The bathroom fixtures are deplorable and fake plastic tiling on walls. Terrible places!😢.
Rent Control laws are largely responsible for these ridiculous rents. Developers do not want to come in to a city with rent control laws, so there is a lack of supply of units in NYC. And there are buildings with seniors paying $500.00 per month, for these same units, so landlords have to jack up the rents on new tenants. Rent control should be illegal. It's a violation of property rights.
Rents are also crazy in cities that don't have rent control. Developers aren't in a hurry to increase stock. When they do build, it's strictly top end price point units.
Rental units should be owned by the cities and rented out for a reasonable % of income, not hoarded by money grubbing predators intent on undermining a functioning society. Check out Austria’s public housing system before you run your money grubbing mouth.
Yeah that last beauty & the most expensive with all those 5 ☆ ratings, plummeted to a very sad 1☆ when i heard 6th floor walk up, No thanks, strictly for kids with rich parents 😢

Really enjoying the videos and the straightforward presentation of each space. NY real estate is very entertaining.

please slow down the camera movement
I like your unique style of showing these apartments while you describe them. Thank you!
Really nicely done! Thank you!
I was born and raised in Texas, still live here in Dallas. I hope one day to visit New York. I've never been.
I live 1 hour from NYC. It’s a fun place to visit. I like the museums and restaurants; the best ethnic food in the states, IMO.
$9,300 per month for a 6 floor walk-up? Hard pass.
My legs couldn't handle that!!!
For real. Then another “flight” once you are inside.🥵😂
9.3k for a 6th floor walkup is diabolical 😭
Another great video ! I really enjoy the apartment tours.
The last one deserved 5 on light, the second floor had that wow moment.
But it's a sixth floor walkup.
Had a friend in the West Village who lived in a fifth floor walkup, and this is 30-some years ago, and even being young, it was tiring. And then more stairs in the apartment.
Beautiful place, but these old legs ain't going to be visiting any time soon!
You have to be quite spry to live there.
Cool video! I like your ratings system. It’s crazy how expensive nyc is for rent. I pay 1300 for a 350 sq studio in downtown Vancouver
My favorite broker everrr
Way too fast camera movement, I missed some of the footage because I had to look away
Loved the last 2.
Thank you. 830. A month.
27000. 3500
BelAire.
You are great. Very friendly and informative. Thank you!
Loved the 2nd to last one.
Can you do more of upper east Side? Your videos are so great and straight to point
Very informative, thank you!
Next to last building was my favorite
It would be great if you could include the price while your showing the apartments in the bottom right corner or something!
Crazy. Where I live I could get a 5 bedroom, 4 bath, three car garage, totally updated with an indoor pool for $9,000.
@user-zk5rt3gb3e Museums, art, theater, shopping, sky diving, fishing, hunting, dining out, biking, hiking....
@user-zk5rt3gb3e Museums, art, theater plus things like hunting, fishing, boating, skiing...
Last apartment is just perfect , and I hoped you filmed the fourth bedroom and the second balcony❤
That last one is real nice.
these vids r so useful lol, planning to move to new york next year hopefully
If you're flexible on when you move Nov - March you'll find the best deals!

Did anyone else find it weird that two of the bathrooms were right beside each other in the last apartment?
That could be because it easier on the plumbing to locate them like that. Sometimes in houses that is done because it saves money to place them that way.
You need to include elevator or lack of in the amenities rating.
Working fireplace?! Wow

Good for you. Some of us can only dream of this. At the very least, you should visit NYC. it is amazing, nothing like it!
Good channel
I love visiting NYC, a trip I make (from Canada) at least once a year. How in God’s name do ordinary people afford to live in Manhattan??
Slow down the camera please.
I thought the last one was a solid 5!
Great video
Is the vacancy’s rate high
Asking for 8k per month
That depends on the management company! It can usually take a little while to get a tenant in the 8k+ apartments, but for landlords that start advertising before the previous tenant moved out they can minimize the downtime

what do you have to do to afford that kind of rent?

The rents are Beyond ridiculous
I love the apts but i really dont like the rating banner you have at the bottom. It is distracting and obscures the view of apt when I am tryng to focus on what the apts look like.
I've already changed the layout on my most recent videos because of this type of feedback, so hopefully you will enjoy those more!

lastb apartment is actually a 3 bedroom + loft/office not a 4 bedroom
In the smaller units where you have 1 or 2 people, I think that dishwashers are a waste of space that could be used for storage.
Naw everyone loves a dishwasher
@@joycegrossman9616 Dishwashers are time-consuming and unnecessary for smaller households.
Just throwing your money away. Rent is out of control.
Old radiators in the last one - I gotta pay more attention.
@user-zk5rt3gb3e You can buy those little oil filled electrical space heaters that look like radiators. Not as warming as the real ones, tho.
First one was a hotel room.
These rents are ridiculously high. You have to be a crook in order to live in NYC
Beautiful places, the last 2 prices/places 🤯 too rich for my blood.
6-floor walk-up for that price. Fab apartment but you won't have to go to the gym.
The only decent-looking windows, are in the last unit. The windows in all of the other units are really ugly. The black frames, no muntins----they look like prison windows.
Please go a little slower. I do enjoy your videos.
New Yorkers are built differently, I’d be sooooo depressed 😢
$ 2,000 per year is really not that bad at all.
I was paying 1,200 for a 4th floor walk up. In a gorgeous pre-war building. I wouldn’t live there for free
Tiny kitchens
The ceilings are so low-oppressive, I ‘m feeling a migraine coming on! 🤯 The bathroom fixtures are deplorable and fake plastic tiling on walls. Terrible places!😢.

No thanks, strictly for kids with rich parents 😢
I'm a bigger girl so a 6th floor walk up is a no from me too, but some people have no problems and live in those units for years!
Definitely, the quality of life in NY sucks.
The 4 bedroom is the best deal for roommates at just $2,375 per person!
I busted my clam on the kitchen counter of number 3
