I keep watching these NYC apartment videos fascinated but also appalled that they are not only charging these outrageous rents but that people are acting like it's a good deal! Some of these at least were renovated, but it's crazy what people are paying to live in small (or miniscule) apartments, often in decaying buildings in a NYC that is becoming increasingly dirty and dangerous.
That man was so pleasant to you and accommodated you, cuz you are always respectful and pleasant yourself. Your parents did something right with you, Cash!! AND. The glass seems to be half full. Your personality sure shines thru! We all have our bad days, but you get back up and slap that smile on and head out the door! Thank you!
Cash obviously loves what he does, and you're right that his parents did something right. I'm sure they are proud of himself. He is a delightful young man
Rob is a good example of how to be creative and make a small space cool. The plants add so much to the homey atmosphere. And though a tight fit, the kitchen has its own space. His dog is adorable, and Rob has even added stairs for his dog to easily get on the bed.
It has truly gotten ridiculous in NYC the last few years. The rent prices has gone up & the apartment sizes have gotten immensely smaller. I currently live in a (rent stabilized) very large 1 bedroom apartment building. Recently as tenants have moved out, they have been renovating the apartments. They've turned these beautiful spacious 1 bedroom apartments into either a decent 2 bedroom or a small ass 3 bedroom apartment and charging an extra $2,000 🤦 Smfh....
My little brother is a Dr. in New York and he makes a six figure salary and him and his wife still struggle to make it there. Their apartment is over $3000 per month and it's only a one bedroom.
When I was younger I lived in a 6th floor walk-up with a dog so I was up and down multiple times a day. I will say I was in the best shape of my life. Now in my late 40's I must have an elevator and washer/dryer. 😊
The first one: It's a 6th floor walkup and a studio with no outdoor space or laundry, and that loft is awfully low to be useful for anything but storage. It has room to separate sleeping from living, but it's not worth $3,200/month. The second one is smaller, and I think $3,100 is a lot for a 5th floor walkup studio. The third one has no common space except the hallway kitchen, so realistically it's a one-bedroom. It does have laundry machines, but a basement apartment risks flooding and vermin. Overpriced at $3,500. Then we have the pair of 2-bedrooms with laundry and roof access, but if I'm paying $3,500 I don't wanna share. The last basement "junior one-bedroom" at $3,500 does have outdoor space and laundry down the hall. The fellow with the $1,800 rent-stabilized apartment has the best deal! I guess the secret to an affordable NYC place is to get in your time machine and rent it 30 years ago. ;-)
I just found your channel yesterday. I think you are funny, I enjoy your videos. I am a new subscriber. Thank you for showing me apartments in New York.❤️🙏 God bless you❤️🙏
I watch these videos sometimes because they make my place look massive and luxurious, for much, much less. With actual great views, not buildings or brick walls. Insane anyone would pay over $3k for these.
Completely agree. And I live in NYC. I have a 2-bedroom with a parking spot in Queens, and I pay half that. And I have an actual kitchen, not a mini-fridge and a hot plate. These apartments he's showing are ridiculous.
@@cv8499 Those kitchen with hot plates and mini fridges, and "lots of counter space," which is maybe 12" on one side and 3 on the other, and the "huge closets" the size of a broom closet, WTH?
@@Catbooks Seriously! And the tenant talking about what a steal it is. 🙄 I saw one video of this woman who was paying $3,500/month for this hovel in Chelsea (I mean literally barely room to turn around), and she didn't even have a private bathroom. She shared one bathroom with three other apartments. People...PEOPLE! THAT IS NOT NORMAL!
There’s a logic to having a place right in the middle of somewhere like Chelsea in Manhattan or, say, Tokyo, so that you have immediate access to a lifestyle that’s primarily about being out and about. There’s a logic, it’s just not my logic.
Why ? Is it so fascinating to live in New York. I'll stay where I'm the rent it's so expensive in NY. I really would like to know who makes this kind of money
NYC is a good way to test if a person has a case of acrophobia or claustrophobia. Or both---all at the same time. The city is an acquired taste, sort of like cilantro or steak tartar (btw, the former I like, the latter I dislike).
I am at a loss for words. These 'tiny apts" are an absolute criminal nightmare. Nothing but stright price gouging and profiteering. How are they obtaining permits to construct these monstrosities?
@xyz12345457 most New Yorkers rarely spend time at home. There's a million things to do, visit, and a million places to eat in Manhattan. So they don't mind their tiny apartments.
Unfortunately landlords in NYC aren't doing too great either so the only way they can afford to maintain the apartment is to charge extreme prices. Hard to blame them to be honest
My biggest pleasure-previously as a renter and now as a homeowner-is opening the doors to my garden in the morning. These narrow cramped NY places up in the air or below ground with virtually no access to nature make me break out in stress sweat.
You and Rob are both soooo lucky to have had fathers who'd co-sign for you! When I was trying to rent an apartment in NYC, my father refused to co-sign anything more than $225/month, which as we all know is downright insane (NOBODY had rents like that, even then!).
Interesting tour today. Rob was cool to let you visit on the spot like that. He had the right idea with the fan venting outside in his kitchen window. That one place with the kitchen the size of a smart phone had 4 outlets but no place to put any appliances, lol.
“Massive walk in closet…” me staring at a closet smaller than my hallway coat closet. 😅 I would opt for the basement unit. It is definitely a cool unit.
In many ways, what we consider aforable in NY, just means living with less, living tight, living small. It amazes me what people charge, and how we make people pay for our lives with what would be a basic need. Housing is a basic need, ALL rent should be stablized.
Good morning Cash. Loved the last one. The gentleman with the rent stabilized apartment was so pleasant. Both apartments with the lofts were nice except for the steep steps, I would come up with a better solution.
I know that some people love NYC, but after having been there several times for Trade Shows, I just don't understand why. Overall, NYC seemed way overcrowded, the people were very abrupt/unfriendly, dirty, expensive, too hot in the Summer, and way too cold in the winter. The rents people have to pay for a tiny box in the middle of this mess is amazing. If I had to live in NYC, all my free time would be spent trying to escape this place; it's like a virtual prison. Having said that, I do enjoy the videos, it makes me happy that I live in the open spaces in Northern Nevada.
Every time someone says people in Manhattan are abrupt and unfriendly, I have to wonder whether it’s that you just didn’t understand each other’s cultures. I’ve lived in those wide open spaces and was stunned by how fake and unfriendly people are, until I realised we had different ways of communicating. In NYC, sit on a bench or a bus with someone with time to kill, and you might become best friends for that hour, delving into family stories. Fall down, and everyone will rush to help, determine who can best help, then speed on their way while that person stays until you’re ok. But try to stop someone who has five minutes to get where they’re going and already had to navigate around a hundred-fifty other people? They’ll brush you off pronto. But someone in, say, Texas, would ask me how I am and if I started into a long conversation with them all about it, as you’d do in NYC, they’d be appalled that I’d misread a (genuinely) friendly greeting as the “I’m free to connect for a while” signal it often is in NY. That said, Manhattan is hot in the summer. Cash seldom shows anywhere in NYC except lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Which is fine, but it’s a small sample of flavors.

I live in western Kansas in a town of 3,500 people. My 2 bed condo with 1 bath, a fully applianced kitchen, huge living and dining room, with an attached garage AND tornado shelter, costs $415 per month! It is 20 years old. Id never trade with anyone.
But you live in Bumfuck Kansas where nothing is going on. God that's boring. If I had to live there I would pray that the tornado would come and take me to Oz.
I just realized I haven’t watched one of your videos in a long while, I don’t know if that’s just the algorithm at play or what. Since this is the first I’ve seen in a bit I just wanted to say your videos really helped me get through the pandemic, I watched so many tours. Your attitude and video style was just really soothing and it was nice to see a different place💜
In these videos you do I'm always just flippin SHOCKED by the constant Trifecta of suffering and misadventure... 1. No elevator ? 2. Suicide friendly windows and balconies. They're not simply lacking to make it difficult but seemingly trying to make it easier to do...the void calls and the center cannot hold.. 3. The complete lack of egress windows or ANY windows...and only one way down...almost like someone was planning the best way to make a fire death trap.
I just watched a video about student apartments in Japan and they all had a loft like that to watch tv and hang out in. After you climbed down there was a kitchen along one wall, much shorter one than this. The only door was to a bathroom that had just enough room for a person to sit down and a tiny stand up shower. This place looks massive in comparison.
Is it me or are these apartments getting worse? I pay half for a 2 bedroom 30 minutes from Manhattan. These apartments are embarrassing hovels. Yet cash is entertaining enough to keep me watching and glad I have the home I do.
Cash, I love how real you are with these tours! Equal parts honest and optimistic. I don't have any plans to move to NYC but you definitely make me daydream about it! 😄 P.S Rob, thanks for the tour! ❤
I’m surprised that the second one is only a hundred dollars less than the first one. That loft makes it possible to separate your living area from your sleeping area and the floor space was bigger too! The second one is not worth it.
Lived in forest hills queens for 9 years. Lucky 🍀 to own a co op . However was a nightmare to sell. Need to have a lawyer. The co op board must approve the buyer and after you sell you must pay a transfer fee to the board over 4thousand dollars. Also you pay the lawyer. And it took 7 months to close. But I got out . Now finally live in Tampa. Over 1thousand square feet. 2br 2ba. With a balcony. And a view of the Hillsborough river. I own. 😊😊😊😊
Thanks! Love the rent stabilized it’s “realistic” living! But the 6 floor walk up with those treacherous stairs, yikes 😬 one missed step and you’re ass over tea kettle for sure lol!
New York is a great place to visit but I’m so glad that we bought a house in bumfuck Georgia, when we retired. We got a 3,000 square foot house with attached garage and an acre of land for $189,000 in 2011. I have a garden and we planted tons of trees and built a tiny pond.
I stayed in an apartment like this last year. The stairs were so steep that I fell down them when going to the bathroom. The loft started to make me feel like I was hyperventilating. I think there is potential for sure. It was much bigger than most studios Ive been in.
I like the first place. The basement apartment with the laundry was good too. and as far as the last two go, I definitely like the one with the white stairs better. Those other stairs are really scary.
that was cool, the guy let you view his space. nice size also, i love seeing people "win" 😃. of the rentals though, i liked the second studio. its practical and seems like an easy set up. small but definitely liveable. 😁
I guess how much Rob is paying is pretty good for NYC standard in his neighborhood, but to pay $1800 for a rent stabilized apartment that you've been in for 30 years is still kinda ridiculous if you compare it to other big cities.
Those who live in new york get it, those who don’t..don’t :)) things are expensive and an average sized apartment could be from 3,000 and or above. Something like these buildings which costs $1000, its definitely worth it! If you lived in nyc especially Manhattan, this is the greatest deal ever. In fact, I’d be more than happy to pay that much for such a beautiful apartment like what is shown in the video. As someone who lives in nyc, we get fair pay ig and for that much, I have no complaints
I lived in Manhattan from 1973-1994 in a variety of apartments. In all that time including rent stabilized apartments, my rent never exceeded 480.00 dollar, and that was on the upper east side. It’s insane what rents are going for. A basement apartment for $3400.00, Oy Vey!
That last place is the best. Crazy personal note, just landed in a $2990 Apt in Seattle that is 777 sq ft. Will probably have to jump to the next price tier at around $3.3k per month in a couple of years to get a better place. Rob has an awesome place at a steal of a price. When do you head back to Japan? Peace YT!
These are so entertaining. I stayed in Chelsea at the Cambria Hotel last Feb. for my college reunion, in a heat wave. I loved the flower wholesalers since the fragrance was amazing. In the 70s and 80s I lived for short periods, one was near the Dakota on W.70th and the other was near Cooper Union. I can only imagine what sublets cost there now!
I lived in NYC for a few years between 2001 to 2004 (moved there literally 2wks BEFORE 9/11 😮😢). Our rent was $1130 THEN. I'm from Texas; got married up there and we moved back down. And got a townhouse apartment rented at $525. Then got a mortgage on 4bd 2ba 2 car garage 1.5 story house on a quarter acre, for $890/mo in 2007 😅 THEN in 2017 got about 25 ac outside of a major city, in Texas, for $1100/mo 😂😂😂😅😅😅 Listen I LOVE New York, it'll always be my second home because I went through that major tragedy there -- but the prices and what's considered "affordable", 😢😅😅 omggg
When you said $7,000 for the 2-bedroom, I went "nooooooooooooooooooo". Thats a more than a mortgage payment. Makes my 2-bedroom, 1-bath and half, laundry room, private entrance and patio with vaulted ceilings for $459 on Section 8 makes me crazy. I cant do $7,000 even if I wasn't retired. 😂😂😂😂❤🎉
"There's green everywhere!" Cut to one sad little vine. "Huge outdoor space!" Cut to a cramped industrial looking alleyway. "Massive walk-in closet!" Cut to a tiny definitely-not-walk-in closet that could fit three coats. This video is unintentionally hilarious.
"Height is about 5' so you can partially stand". I'm 4'10". I may be able to fully stand. I appreciate appartments with lofts because it offers so much more space without the extra cost.
I like the real fireplace. While lugging wood upstairs to burn is a task, they have those wax logs that burn for 2-3 hours, crackle like real wood and smell like wood, too. They are great for when having company or for at the end of long winter day. 😃
I love how you sell these, just fun to watch. Give that crazy place a hug, lived there a million years ago ~ saw Cruising last night. lol. You should see it for the apartment of the girlfriend ... saw another, was it Day of the Condor or something else, that had people in beautiful lofts with simple yet compelling kitchens with paper zen lights and macro cookbooks. I miss something about the large spaces that were not fully gutted, have no soul inside.
My rest in Westwood Ca in 1980 for a nice one bed one bath about 500 square feet was 300 a month and I split it with a room mate from Long Island NY because LA was cheaper than NY then .I see nothing has changed in 43 years.
Imagine how much lower rents would be and how many less empty spaces NYC would have if every available space wasn't artificially inflated by Investment LLCs just buying them up to use as new loan collateral.

1. No elevator ?
2. Suicide friendly windows and balconies. They're not simply lacking to make it difficult but seemingly trying to make it easier to do...the void calls and the center cannot hold..
3. The complete lack of egress windows or ANY windows...and only one way down...almost like someone was planning the best way to make a fire death trap.
I just watched a video about student apartments in Japan and they all had a loft like that to watch tv and hang out in. After you climbed down there was a kitchen along one wall, much shorter one than this. The only door was to a bathroom that had just enough room for a person to sit down and a tiny stand up shower. This place looks massive in comparison.
thise lofts creeper me out...I'm claustrophobic
Rob seems nice and I like his apartment!
the place rams home the idea/fact that life is going nowhere, and NYC is just an endless series of spaces like this. xo :)
Is it me or are these apartments getting worse? I pay half for a 2 bedroom 30 minutes from Manhattan. These apartments are embarrassing hovels. Yet cash is entertaining enough to keep me watching and glad I have the home I do.
Cash, I love how real you are with these tours! Equal parts honest and optimistic. I don't have any plans to move to NYC but you definitely make me daydream about it! 😄 P.S
Rob, thanks for the tour! ❤
I’m surprised that the second one is only a hundred dollars less than the first one. That loft makes it possible to separate your living area from your sleeping area and the floor space was bigger too! The second one is not worth it.
What people are willing to endure to live in Manhattan never ceases to boggle my mind.
Lived in forest hills queens for 9 years. Lucky 🍀 to own a co op . However was a nightmare to sell. Need to have a lawyer. The co op board must approve the buyer and after you sell you must pay a transfer fee to the board over 4thousand dollars. Also you pay the lawyer. And it took 7 months to close. But I got out . Now finally live in Tampa. Over 1thousand square feet. 2br 2ba. With a balcony. And a view of the Hillsborough river. I own. 😊😊😊😊
The snark is my favorite part 🩵 love this channel
Totally chill man to allow you to show his apartment on YT without even having a chance to tidy up. Plus, he's a dog lover!
Thanks! Love the rent stabilized it’s “realistic” living! But the 6 floor walk up with those treacherous stairs, yikes 😬 one missed step and you’re ass over tea kettle for sure lol!
Thank you!
You be showing some cool apartments. Keep up the good work 💯😊👍🗽
I love your showings of NYC apartments and their neighborhoods. ❤
New York is a great place to visit but I’m so glad that we bought a house in bumfuck Georgia, when we retired. We got a 3,000 square foot house with attached garage and an acre of land for $189,000 in 2011. I have a garden and we planted tons of trees and built a tiny pond.
Thanks Rob for sharing a view of your apartment! Looks cozy!
I stayed in an apartment like this last year. The stairs were so steep that I fell down them when going to the bathroom. The loft started to make me feel like I was hyperventilating. I think there is potential for sure. It was much bigger than most studios Ive been in.
Riiight! A "hammock chair" on the fire escape. We all know it makes perfectly good sense to have somethinng like that on a fire escape!
Whatever you do, don't walk down the stairs drunk😂😂😂
Pretty sure the super would LOVE Rob to move out so they can rent it for twice as much!
An apartment without an oven, is a deal breaker for me.
It´s funny how Robs bigger place costs half of the insane prices of the the current appartments.
That's how rent stabilization works.
I like the first place. The basement apartment with the laundry was good too. and as far as the last two go, I definitely like the one with the white stairs better. Those other stairs are really scary.
I would need an exit escape window before I spent one night in some of these lofts. I would however use them for storage.
Some of those lofts make good office spaces, as long as you can sit in them.
Those 5th and 6th floor walk-ups - - shades of "Barefoot in the Park".
I wonder how much it was before the people moved out of there and how much they raised it after
that was cool, the guy let you view his space. nice size also, i love seeing people "win" 😃. of the rentals though, i liked the second studio. its practical and seems like an easy set up. small but definitely liveable. 😁
4:22 That Gate is because People are sick Of Spider Man just moving around the Roofs and looking into you Flat!🇬🇧🤣🕷
I’d put that razor wire around all my outdoor space if I lived in NYC whatever level lols 🤣
They have put a gate to block people from jumping on the chimney. But it is easier now. They can just climb.
I guess how much Rob is paying is pretty good for NYC standard in his neighborhood, but to pay $1800 for a rent stabilized apartment that you've been in for 30 years is still kinda ridiculous if you compare it to other big cities.
A tiny studio on the 6th floor for over $3000?
You're nuts!
Those who live in new york get it, those who don’t..don’t :)) things are expensive and an average sized apartment could be from 3,000 and or above. Something like these buildings which costs $1000, its definitely worth it! If you lived in nyc especially Manhattan, this is the greatest deal ever. In fact, I’d be more than happy to pay that much for such a beautiful apartment like what is shown in the video. As someone who lives in nyc, we get fair pay ig and for that much, I have no complaints
Always enjoy your NYC explorations and finding the crazy amounts people pay. Thank you for the time you put in. So handsome btw
Howdy, Rob
You now have a fan base.
Thank you for sharing.
👍🤠
It’s always a good day when ur vids come up❤
This is Gonna b so Informative CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Sunday😀…..
I lived in Manhattan from 1973-1994 in a variety of apartments. In all that time including rent stabilized apartments, my rent never exceeded 480.00 dollar, and that was on the upper east side. It’s insane what rents are going for. A basement apartment for $3400.00, Oy Vey!
Hi Cash. I hope you and your family are well.
I love these apartments! If I was younger & able to live the New York lifestyle - I’d grab one of these.
I really dig your apartment tours. I would NEVER move to New York City but I enjoy your tours I watch you pretty regular.
Watching your videos, from Melbourne, Australia.
That last place is the best. Crazy personal note, just landed in a $2990 Apt in Seattle that is 777 sq ft. Will probably have to jump to the next price tier at around $3.3k per month in a couple of years to get a better place. Rob has an awesome place at a steal of a price. When do you head back to Japan? Peace YT!
My dad had to sign with me so I could get my first apartment too. Oh I miss him so much. Mom too.
These are so entertaining. I stayed in Chelsea at the Cambria Hotel last Feb. for my college reunion, in a heat wave. I loved the flower wholesalers since the fragrance was amazing. In the 70s and 80s I lived for short periods, one was near the Dakota on W.70th and the other was near Cooper Union. I can only imagine what sublets cost there now!
I lived in NYC for a few years between 2001 to 2004 (moved there literally 2wks BEFORE 9/11 😮😢).
Our rent was $1130 THEN.
I'm from Texas; got married up there and we moved back down.
And got a townhouse apartment rented at $525.
Then got a mortgage on 4bd 2ba 2 car garage 1.5 story house on a quarter acre, for $890/mo in 2007 😅
THEN in 2017 got about 25 ac outside of a major city, in Texas, for $1100/mo 😂😂😂😅😅😅
Listen I LOVE New York, it'll always be my second home because I went through that major tragedy there -- but the prices and what's considered "affordable", 😢😅😅 omggg
You don't need many appliances if you have counter space.
George Forman grill
Crockpot
Dry fryer
Toaster and curig
Oh and a blender
11:21 That fireplace is EPIC.
When you said $7,000 for the 2-bedroom, I went "nooooooooooooooooooo". Thats a more than a mortgage payment. Makes my 2-bedroom, 1-bath and half, laundry room, private entrance and patio with vaulted ceilings for $459 on Section 8 makes me crazy. I cant do $7,000 even if I wasn't retired. 😂😂😂😂❤🎉
I pay $350.00 a month and I rent a big farm. The electricity is included in the rent even. Its a Big old farm house over 150 years old. I love it!
None of those apartments are worth more than $800/month. Tops.
"There's green everywhere!" Cut to one sad little vine. "Huge outdoor space!" Cut to a cramped industrial looking alleyway. "Massive walk-in closet!" Cut to a tiny definitely-not-walk-in closet that could fit three coats. This video is unintentionally hilarious.
Great videos Cash Jordan.
"Height is about 5' so you can partially stand". I'm 4'10". I may be able to fully stand. I appreciate appartments with lofts because it offers so much more space without the extra cost.
5:30 - I am sorry but affordable?! 😢 I am so sorry to all the regular people living out there in NYC.
I like the real fireplace. While lugging wood upstairs to burn is a task, they have those wax logs that burn for 2-3 hours, crackle like real wood and smell like wood, too. They are great for when having company or for at the end of long winter day. 😃
In Wisconsin we are complaining about $1200 for a two bedroom 500-700 square feet! Cost of living makes a difference!
How do these basement Apts stay dry when there is flooding?
I have seen those go South on the news
It's always "per person" none of these are ever solo places
$3,200 a month...you need to make $128,000 a year, which is nearly executive-level salary... imagine an executive living there
Rob was a charming, lovely guy, and I loved his apartment.
You do amazing work...LOVE your videos
The New York I remember (Hudson, 1950s) is like another world compared to what I see now. Rob's apartment is fabulous and his dog is adorable.
I love how you sell these, just fun to watch. Give that crazy place a hug, lived there a million years ago ~ saw Cruising last night. lol. You should see it for the apartment of the girlfriend ... saw another, was it Day of the Condor or something else, that had people in beautiful lofts with simple yet compelling kitchens with paper zen lights and macro cookbooks. I miss something about the large spaces that were not fully gutted, have no soul inside.
My rest in Westwood Ca in 1980 for a nice one bed one bath about 500 square feet was 300 a month and I split it with a room mate from Long Island NY because LA was cheaper than NY then .I see nothing has changed in 43 years.
Imagine how much lower rents would be and how many less empty spaces NYC would have if every available space wasn't artificially inflated by Investment LLCs just buying them up to use as new loan collateral.
That gate door on the roof across the apartment is keeping out the wind of course... LOL..
