@@pistonffist7053 but he’s lying about his living in the West Village. He’s living in Chelsea, which is an actual very nice neighborhood but it’s weird that he would lie about it. He lives on 15th St. between six and seventh Avenue.
yeah it‘s really insane. in live in europe in a region with the same minimum wage as new york, in a big city and i rent out a flat about the same size as yours for 400$ a month, loft space included. new york scares me man
You have to compare it more to London or Paris pricing. NYC is an island with limited space, and everything is overpriced. It is definitely overpriced, but people will pay for it.
We all know living in NY is crazy... and finally the algorithm brought me a room tour that is not looking luxurious/distant to normal young people's lives. I love your energy! Most importantly, it is not about the space you rent but your spirit living in it! You've made your place so cosy and warm. Well done. Subscribed.
I do think it is a cute an apartment for someone young and single and living the NY life. The thing I would hate about living in that kind of apartment is that it has all been subdivided from a larger apartment. The walls will be paper thin with the result that you can hear everything your neighbours are doing. Sleeping in that loft space you are likely to be directly under the kitchen of the apartment above so every time they close a cupboard or out a fork in a drawer you are going to hear it. I imagine this at 6:30 in the morning or at midnight when you are trying to sleep,
I ultimately ended up moving to LA haha. Life is more fitting here, especially with how much more space you get for your dollar + the constant weather!
You could get more for your money if you lived just a 15-20 minute walk from that location. The West Village is great but as long as you are in walking distance, there's no need to pay that kind of crazy rent. I have an 800sf one bedroom for that price that has 4 closets, a dishwasher, full size stove and fridge-freezer, a laundry room etc. and utilities are included.
@@troyflatland5299 Not at all. If you know NYC then you know there are less expensive neighbourhoods within walling distance of the West Village (not 24 miles away). I'm not talking about moving to the Bronx which is more in line with the comparison you making to living in Compton vs. Beverly Hills.
I live in NYC and this is crazy to pay. I say this as a person whose best friend lives in West Village and has moved within the neighborhood three times.
I lived in NYC for 5 years, the place is so expensive that you are constantly spinning your wheels. Im now in ATL and have a 964sqft apartment in the heart of midtown for under $1500. The exact same apartment would be 6k + in Manhattan 3k+ in trendy areas of Brooklyn. But you my friend got finessed on the price of this spot its too expensive even for NYC. Its a good studio just overpriced
It's a nice spot. I think it's too much but if you have it like that, okay. I have a large old school 2bed apt in Bklyn $2200 with backyard. You'll have to commute but still 20 mins or so to the city.
I enjoy watching RUclips videos regarding New York rentals. I enjoy watching as I sit back in my three bedroom two bath , gated community, home in the southwest and a condo in the Midwest with a lake view. My mortgages are less than $2000 for both properties. I just cannot imagine paying $4000 for a rental let alone for mortgage. However, I enjoyed this video. Oh well. I guess that’s why they call me a frugal person.
Factss it’s pretty insane. Im actually visiting Italy rn and I just got a whole variety of fruits for $9. It’d easily cost me $40 for the amount of fruit I got haha. In short, my eyes are opening to how different $$$ is around the world and even within the US - wild
Love the space & set up. The keyboard nook & cutout niche above desk/table adds a lot. The price sucks but it is in a desirable area in NYC. Hope you have great times there.🎉
Can you explain what makes living in that area worth it? I used to live in Queens and now I'm moving uptown because I want to have a balance between space and location. What are you optimizing for here? Just location to certain things?
My tiny house here in Australia has more space. I own it and the land, so my rent (which is basically council rates/water) is $450 a quarter. So yeah, $150 a month!
I actually really like this apt. The bed space, however, would send my anxiety through the roof. I need to be able to fully sit up in my bed at any point during the night.

bro I'm sorry but you got actually scammed.... $4600... not even in the WV... SHARED bathroom space... and not even a standing room where you sleep?! This should be MAYBE $2,200 MAX idc what kind of economy or inflation were going through.
It’s definitely a lot. I was paying for the neighborhood forsure! This had its own bathroom not a shared. It doesn’t look like it - but it was actually incredibly comfortable and cozy haha. That being said, I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t worth it 🤣 I moved back to LA cause it’s way more worth it here but nyc was a good time

As a fellow New Yorker, you do not have to live this way. I get it’s the West Village, but you are paying WAY too much for such a small space.
i think he already is aware of that
@@MilitiaoftheMind well technically it’s not even the West Village. It’s Chelsea on 15th St. between seventh and sixth Avenue.

there's a happy landlord out there for sure.
4600 dollars for a room thats crazy actually. In middle europe this would be like 300 dollars/month + the gas,electricity,water around 100 more lol.
it's not normal, he's new to the city and doesn't know where to look lol

Until you have a stressful day and want some sleep 🤣🤣
It’s a cool vibe and decor in there - girls will still smash 😅
It’s always about the vibes
Do you have central air or a window ac? I'm thinking the latter.
It’s a window AC set up for that apartment!
Love this!!!

♥️
Do you genuinely love living like this?🤔 I see nothing luxurious about living here. 😫
very nice
It's not a "mini-loft". It's an extremely small, and way overpriced, studio with a barely adequate sleeping loft.
