  • Full disclosure - this apartment is super small, but I still think it’s going to rent because some people are willing to drop everything and move to NYC with a small suitcase… A small suitcase might fit in this place. Not sure.
    Rent the first apartment from Alex: abruniusqp@gmail.com

      I agree. I haven’t really seen anything that isn’t overpriced but it’s NY and people have the hots for NYC. Personally I’m in favor of my bank account! 😊 And he probably doesn’t set the prices either. If someone else owns all the apartments they may have set the prices.

      Sounds nice! 👍
      Atlanta (Southside) here. I'm looking out my back windows/slider at my "personal forest" in the back (deep lot, and there's a creek back there). It's a 3/2 also, with an enclosed two-car garage.
      Thursday I'll be paying my mortgage of $439.14. Also paying my yearly property taxes of $1100. This I can pay even on my retiree/fixed income budget. And I own this, so I'm not worried about a landlord. And this is a working-class subdivision. . . no HOA; no gated entrance. I didn't understand the importance of that when I purchased, but I know now I got lucky, there.
      IDK how the young folks find housing anymore with these ever-increasing prices. 😢
      An average 1 BR apartment around Atlanta costs about my whole (net) monthly pension (I'm kind of "insurance poor" but, at my age, I use it a lot.)
      I sure am glad I bought my house in 1986, like my coworkers were telling me to do. I didn't want to leave my apartment because they took care of maintenance (sort of!) My coworker told me: "If you work here, you can't afford *not* to buy a house," so, reluctantly, I did.
      Whew! That was close!

      The 1st apt in particular is a reminder that NYC is (1) old & (2) overpriced & has a (3) hinky quality of life. However, certain folks think that job/cultural opportunities & crowded sidewalks offset that. YMMV & "to each his/her own."

    After military service my first apartment was a 3rd Ave. studio in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. It was small (nearly 350 sq/ft) but included private use of the yard (great for BBQ). Bathroom had a shower stall but was pretty roomy. This was 1974 and my rent was $90/month, gas/electric included. Rent did eventually go up but it was always a swell bargain. I stayed there fourteen years.

      They have a specific demographic they rent to and none of them look like Charles. You can pull those prices in those areas, not in the outer boroughs. This is why lower income people can't find reasonable places to live, homelessness is rampant, and poor people get priced our even with government help.

    The weird pipe in the first apartment is the gas line coming into the building. You definitely can't remove it and I would not recommend bumping into it, cuz it looks ancient.

But I'm still absolutely positive the white pipe entering through a sleeve at the front wall (2:20 in video) is a gas pipe and service valve, which then goes down into the cellar, through the meters and back up risers into the apartments. Doesn't have anything to do with where the stove is located. There's an old radiator valve (grey/silver) and stub of a return pipe off to the right where a radiator would have been.

    For the first apartment you could move the "closet" and have a custom murphy bet built around the pipes. Then it would be your couch in the day time, and bed at night. The couch would face the fireplace and you could put the TV on that wall. With a rising coffee table, you would be set and still have the appearance of space sometimes. I think I would put a stained glass film on the windows too.

    That first apartment is too small for the price, and the intrusions of the fireplace and pipe limit the use of what little space there is. The windows don't seem to be able to function as emergency exits. Charles' basement unit was a much better deal for the money! The third apartment is legally only a two-bedroom, so despite the fact that the rooms are large it's a bit too pricey. There are better places to share for $4,000 each. The last one with the humungous bedroom and tons of storage space would work well for a couple, and each of them has their own bathroom (which some couples prefer). The price on that one is reasonable by NYC standards. You have a winner here, Charles!
