It's a world city and the US stopped building non-market housing in the 1980s because the government was shit at it. The only way to make 1 or 2 bedroom apartments affordable would be if they allowed for more non-market housing to be created a la rent caps and the like.
That's not the norm. You can definitely live by yourself in an affordable apartment if you don't insist on living in the most trendy areas of the city. Hudson Heights, Fort George, Inwood for Manhattan. And many little enclaves in Brooklyn and Queen and even in Jersey City. If you don't mind not living in the trendiest areas and don't mind a longer commute time to the center of the city, you can live in New York by yourself in an affordable place. The apartments in affordable areas aren't tiny, box apartments either. They are normal 600-700 sq ft one bedrooms. Most of the apartments shown on this channel are in trendiest, most expensive areas.
apartment shares are the most common type of apartment rental for renting currently (globally). If cash we’re gonna find one he’d have to search in other places especially outside of the city. I don’t see Cash Jordan Minnesota happening anytime soon. 😂
@@anotidashe haha-- I had a roommate in MN because rents were expensive. Many Midwestern cities are experiencing rent increases of over 100% in the past year.
Can you find 5 people who will pay their share of the rent on time, get along OK, not cause any problems with the other 4 renters, and do this for one year or more ??? I doubt it.
I could not live with 4 other people that I'm not related to by blood! That's just insane. Plus adults really need their own place, not just their own bedroom.
@@littlebitofhope1489 Exactly. 5 people plus whatever company they bring over and only 2 bathrooms?? No thanks! That was horrible design to have the only roof access through the bedrooms.
I can picture making the monthly collection for the rent and the electric bill. Someone would always be short, but the bills have to be paid on time or there are penalties. That responsibility alone would be a killer. Then there'd be someone who would eat your stuff from the fridge, and someone would have to clean the showers and toilets. Even sharing with one other person would require patience!
The kitchen is not adequate for 5 people. That first 5x9 "bedroom" is not a bedroom. You won't be walking around after dark in that neighborhood or jogging in the morning. Too many sketchy people. I'd never tell you its a "bad" place to live. I'm telling you to be chill and pay extra attention when you're there.
Same thing I said and it’s out dated I pay 900 in Indiana and my kitchen looks like something out of a magazine modern appliances and everything New York apartments should be ashamed all this money for nothing stay safe A E😃
This place is okay, but did anyone notice the grime around the base of the shower in one of the bathrooms? The grout and the track of the shower door were brownish? The sink in another bathroom has a huge crack with a small piece missing. There is no living room to speak of and all the bedrooms are long and narrow. The kitchen is too tiny to do any real cooking either. You’d have to buy a “bar” from IKEA to have adequate counter space.
I did notice that. What counter space there was in the kitchenette/break area is almost a waste of space. One would have to buy a bar for use to adequately prepare something.
Super tiny kitchen space for five "bedrooms." There would be fighting. This isn't the kind of neighborhood where people walk around at night deciding where to go eat.
I like how when there is something really negative about an apartment, Cash most times will not mention it, but he gives us, his viewers a clear picture of it with his camera, without saying a word. That was those who hire him, are pleased with the video he has done and will call him back for other listings they have, but he is "telling" us what is wrong with some of the places. I have seen him hold his camera on a roach for a few extra seconds, but not saying anything.
I think it's a great deal! But.....the stress of roommates paying on time and behaving would be a major stressor for me. In 2023 there are many factors when committing to others and working together like a well oiled machine. Thanks Cash, nice video!
Looks like someone threw up walls in decent-sized rooms to make more bedrooms! Landlords squeezing every penny they can out of tenants by creating more "rooms".
What are the odds that you could find five people sufficiently compatible to share this place? One bedroom is REALLY small, and two others are the accesses to the deck, so dividing the rent would take some negotiation. But even divided 4 ways, it's just $1,150 apiece, plus heat and hot water. The living space is narrow and the kitchen needs a wheeled island. Apparently there is a hookup for your own laundry machines, a plus. Considering current NYC rents, if you can deal with the neighborhood and a bunch of housemates, maybe this isn't such a bad deal.
@@lorainestjames4181 Most of these refurbished Brooklyn apartments are using (electrical) heat pumps and electric water heaters, so even with four occupants each one's share of the electric bill would exceed $100/month. Much more if they were wasteful. In Manhattan, a majority of the buildings get centralized heat and hot water, and it's figured into the rent, but not so in Brooklyn. That's one reason why Brooklyn rents seem to be lower.
About a million to one. Yes you may find five compatible people but for how long? Roommate situations are always temporary. Why? Because it isn't ideal. Ideal is a man, a woman and three children. Time was, a man could earn enough to support a whole family and the woman (whatever that is) could stay home and nurture and love the kids and say things like, "Just wait til your father gets home " We're talkin' 1950s. Things have changed a lot since then. Ten years from now we'll "own nothing and be happy" so they say. I think not.
@@j3488 More bedrooms means more rent, and if the "bedrooms" don't meet the minimum standards and can't be advertised as such, the landlords know that they'll be used as sleeping spaces anyway.
I like Dominic I’ve a good feeling he could help someone get something affordable too. I had to laugh when he squeezed in “and more expensive ones too” bigger commissions. I hope he gets them rented too! Thanks Cash appreciate the show!!
That apartment is in East New York, one of the worst, most dangerous neighborhoods in Brooklyn. The Broadway Junction subway station is a maze of passageways and stairways. The 'L' train is at the highest level of that station, the 'A' train at the subway level. You do not want to use that subway station at night or in the day for that matter.
It’s amazing that this beautiful apartment is where it is. I’m glad to see that it seems that the area (East New York) is becoming revitalized. (I was in charge of the L Subway Line when I retired from NYC Transit in 2017. That area was, shall I say, a bit sketchy. This was not only my opinion, but the opinion of workers who lived in or around East New York.)
Ok. Thanks. I was focusing on the Broadway-Junction subway stations (aka Broadway-East New York) which contain the A/C Lines downstairs and the connections to the L and and J lines (upstairs).
Hmm... "Chop, Chop, CHOP!" But ya know... I could work with this. The two lower bedrooms are so long and of a good width that a person could find all the appropriately sized furniture and create a mini/jr. suite. They appear as if they could nicely fit a queen bed, desk & chair, loveseat, and a coffee table. At $4500/month it's a good deal if one could find four other people to live with. It's also a good unit for a family. But... at that price, I'd rather see a family try and buy something in or about the same price.
Some are groups of friends from school; a young friend in Boston for art school rented on a floor of a big multifamily for five or six people, some of which remained a constant; she and her husband just left that for their own apartment 5+ years after graduating.
Of course it's $900 per person. Who wants 4 roomates?.. Imagine the conflict potential.. How do you lead a normal social /romantic life? 🤔 How thin are the walls? 🤔
You will need a secondary fridge for that many people. With four people in our last house we had two full size, a mid size & small drinks fridge. Everyone still had a problem. LOL!
Wow! I used to get off the Junction all the time and then walk to the East New York train station to catch the Lirr to get to Queens! Good ole days! Cant wait to head back home!
Former 37217'er here. Happy with my $650/month single detached house mortgage in the mountains. I left Nashville when my townhouse rent was $850 (in 2017).
I live elsewhere from NY, but never miss your videos and will say this has been one of the nicer, with nice sizing rooms and shared shares, apartment! Man, someone should snap this up and sub rent those extra rooms LOL
Love these videos, they offer so much more than a look at the apartments; the neighborhood vibe stuff is what sells it for me. I can dig how you favor small business over big. Love how you diss Dunkin' regularly. H&M and the whole fast fashion industry are legit terrible, though.
First of all, Ocean Hill; the neighborhood featured in this video, is a subsection of Bed-Stuy. Secondly, unless something drastic has changed things, Brownsville CAN'T be gentrified because of all of the existing government subsidized low-income housing there.
Five people to share a not-full-size fridge, no counter space and next to no kitchen cabinets. 5x9 space in the living area is useful for absolutely nothing... This flat annoys me!
Not feeling this one but then it's' not aimed at me. Living room is an odd shape with the window in narrow space at the end of the room. The downstairs bedrooms are not of equal size with the little one being just a glorified boxroom. Anyone getting that would have to pay much less rent. Rooms with roof decks would have to pay more. One of the washbasins has a massive crack. 5 people sharing 2 bathrooms could also be programmatical.
1/2 sink. 1/2 size fridge. 1/2 size dishwasher. 1/2size microwave No counter space. 2 bathrooms? for 5 unrelated people. And the added bonus of people going through your bedroom to get to the roof? Uh, no. That is introvert H3LL.
Yes agreed with previous comment, how about finding appartments for one person to afford them. Definitely appreciate the tour of the streets and the effort as always, entertaining and informative 👍
I see people saying in the comments that this apt is in East New York because he got off on Broadway Juntion. However, he did say he got off at the wrong stop and later showed the A/C at Rockway. I was under the impression that this is Bushwick. I use to live here. The neighborhood is okay but it was definitely changing when I was moving out.
I really hate that u caption these videos with the price it'll be for just one room as if that's the price for the whole apartment. News flash NO ONE IN NYC WANTS A ROOMMATE YOU CANT MOVE INTO A ROOM WITH YOUR FAMILY and students are too broke to afford that every month on top of school and books. So who exactly is the target market for these places?
@@johnbaldock6353 thank you for that.when I was 20 and I moved into Manhattan after college, I got a studio apartment rather than live with 2 girlfriends. It’s ALWAYS better to have your own place, unless you’re in a relationship. Never live with friends.
Interesting that you should note that. I felt the area might be a prime location for some "higher level" types of businesses to open there -e.g.- gym/dance studio, soaps/bath shop, etc.
@@sinash The area actually has industrial / warehouse areas within a block or two of where Cash was. He just didn't show them. To clarify - those industrial and warehouse buildings are actively being used - not abandonned.
Bro stop with the click bait you know damn well ain't no apartment for that price in new York unless you rent a closet how the hell is that affordable everybody don't wanna stay with room mates just too afford to live would you stay with that many room mates and for the love of God stop calling hallways common areas smdh
I'd rather use the smaller bedroom with the roof access as a common room so everyone can use at least one of the outdoor areas. Could put a couch and TV where people could watch movies or hook up a game system. It would also be a good place to store some of the outdoor things when the weather gets bad.
A lot of apartments and condos have fire department restrictions on grills on roof tops and /or decks, etc. Although I do not have any fire related restrictions I used my air fryer to cook steaks, burgers, fish, hot dogs and chicken outside on my deck. I have a single family house. My Air fryer, Cosori, doesn’t get hot on the outside and the meats or roasted vegetables come out like they were cooked on a grill. Best thing about it is it cooks fast and you can cook with it inside too.
I hate sharing; I've had my fair share of roommates, especially when I lived in Toronto. Once my twin cousin moved in with me, showing up unexpectedly from another province, never called to ask if he could stay with me, then a year later the other twin showed up at my door pretending to be the cousin who was living with me 🤣 and they both thought I'd never clue in. They're identical twins, but look more like brothers than twins. I used to refer to them as Dim & Dumb, but never to their faces. Hoo boy, fun times. I used to say I'd never marry again because I like living alone way too much.
You can rent whole houses here for around $2000 and up. Before we got our house we lived in a 3 bedroom, 3 bath apartment which was $900 a month. Of course, like everywhere else, rent has increased here, but it's still not anywhere near NYC. Even doubled it's not close.
I wish they would remake the show “Friends”, but except more realistic. For example, instead of all the friends having their own place in Manhattan, they should all be roommates in an apartment in Brooklyn. They can consult you to make it more realistic.
4500/month wont work if 1+ room-mates refuse to pay rent when i rent i always advertise NO ROOMMATES and my lease (if you're lucky enough to not be Tenant-At-Will) says NO ROOMMATES (which includes ADULT children who think they can live with mum and dad tenants for FREE) ALOT of room-mates are skipping rent because what will the master tenant do if 1br goes non-paying? Short of talking like trump for at least 5 minutes there is no way to force any room-mate to pay up or get out! After all an eviction is for ALL occupants of the apt (including master tenant)
If two people rented it and split the rent it might not be too bad. You could have your own bedroom and office. The spare bedroom for storage. If that is all you really need, it might be pretty good.
Sorry Cash, but these video titles - so misleading. It's $4500 a month. With all those roommates - to cut it down to $900 - of course people will eventually want to move the hell out.
Hey, Cash! n.b. this 5-bedroom loft is not $900.00 per mo., it is $900.00 per person for a grand total of $4,500.00 per mo. + electricity, + utilities + heat + hot water. Is it under rent control? Several sets of steep stairs & no elevator! That must be one of the smallest kitchens ever and no separate dining area and living space. Can't imagine five or more people sharing this space at the same time! The five bedrooms are all chopped up with really very little usable space. Brooklyn must be in another dimension in the Winter-time. Did anyone notice that woman wearing a tank top, shorts & knee high sox pushing a stroller while Cash is walking around bundled up in a parka? Sleepless in Toronto
When I saw this one today. All I could think about is that other tiny apartment that had everything you need with a Murphy bed. Sorry Cash. I really couldn't see myself in this one. See ya
Who in their right mind is going to share with 4 roommates? Most likely strangers with whom the only thing you have in common is the desire to strangle each other
Imagine spending this much on rent and the doors don't have handles, the sink has a massive crack in it and you need to install your own towel rack. As if the landlord couldn't afford to fix that with half a months rent. NY is tough.
1. Ocean Hill is ENY/Brownsville. That's a real estate name to get people comfortable. 2. Who wants to live with four other people of whom you are relying on every month to be on time with their share of the rent and bills not to mention the other drama they may bring?
Wow, this is awesome! So does that mean the areas closer to Brownsville are in the midst of gentrification (I haven’t lived in NYC in years so I’m genuinely curious)? Every time I watch your videos, it makes me wanna move back. 😅
i'd happily take the two upstairs rooms and the patio, offer to pay £2000 a month to offset the private patio entrance. one room for my bedroom, the other for my workspace.
The idea you have to live with 8 other people in order to afford to live in NYC, and that that is the norm, is so insane, I have no words but insane.
It's a world city and the US stopped building non-market housing in the 1980s because the government was shit at it. The only way to make 1 or 2 bedroom apartments affordable would be if they allowed for more non-market housing to be created a la rent caps and the like.

News flash NO ONE IN NYC WANTS A ROOMMATE YOU CANT MOVE INTO A ROOM WITH YOUR FAMILY and students are too broke to afford that every month on top of school and books. So who exactly is the target market for these places?
I don't live in America but love watching your videos. This Has to Be THE BEST & CHEAPEST Flat (Apartment) i've see!🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
It’s not really so cheap. It’s only cheap if you want to live with 5 roommates! Who really wants that? Not me, I couldn’t live like that.
@@AdrienneMint Fair comment young lady.
@@johnbaldock6353 thank you for that.when I was 20 and I moved into Manhattan after college, I got a studio apartment rather than live with 2 girlfriends. It’s ALWAYS better to have your own place, unless you’re in a relationship. Never live with friends.
@@AdrienneMint Its the same as Never work with Family i surmise.👍
@@johnbaldock6353 yes! That’s how I feel. Love with your friends and that’s the end of the friendship. I live with cats. They’re good roommates.
Junky neighborhood...but all those little shops might be handy
Interesting that you should note that. I felt the area might be a prime location for some "higher level" types of businesses to open there -e.g.- gym/dance studio, soaps/bath shop, etc.
@@sinash The area actually has industrial / warehouse areas within a block or two of where Cash was. He just didn't show them. To clarify - those industrial and warehouse buildings are actively being used - not abandonned.
Cash, you and vans giving out candy! 😂 You're obsessed with that idea.
Happy Thursday Cash!
"Not burning down other people" is ALWAYS my intent when using the grill.
Bro stop with the click bait you know damn well ain't no apartment for that price in new York unless you rent a closet how the hell is that affordable everybody don't wanna stay with room mates just too afford to live would you stay with that many room mates and for the love of God stop calling hallways common areas smdh
Stand clear of the shower doors, bing bong.
I'd rather use the smaller bedroom with the roof access as a common room so everyone can use at least one of the outdoor areas. Could put a couch and TV where people could watch movies or hook up a game system. It would also be a good place to store some of the outdoor things when the weather gets bad.
A lot of apartments and condos have fire department restrictions on grills on roof tops and /or decks, etc. Although I do not have any fire related restrictions I used my air fryer to cook steaks, burgers, fish, hot dogs and chicken outside on my deck. I have a single family house. My Air fryer, Cosori, doesn’t get hot on the outside and the meats or roasted vegetables come out like they were cooked on a grill. Best thing about it is it cooks fast and you can cook with it inside too.
Your air fryer?
Yeah, $900 of your share now u gotta find 4 dependable friends to come up with their part of the rent. lol
I hate sharing; I've had my fair share of roommates, especially when I lived in Toronto. Once my twin cousin moved in with me, showing up unexpectedly from another province, never called to ask if he could stay with me, then a year later the other twin showed up at my door pretending to be the cousin who was living with me 🤣 and they both thought I'd never clue in. They're identical twins, but look more like brothers than twins. I used to refer to them as Dim & Dumb, but never to their faces. Hoo boy, fun times. I used to say I'd never marry again because I like living alone way too much.
Only 900 per month for the spot under the stairwell like Harry Potter:)
You can rent whole houses here for around $2000 and up. Before we got our house we lived in a 3 bedroom, 3 bath apartment which was $900 a month. Of course, like everywhere else, rent has increased here, but it's still not anywhere near NYC. Even doubled it's not close.
That's too far out for me. That neighborhood is a little iffy for me too.
Dominic looks like Murray from Stranger Things lol
I love this whole just get five people to split the rent with... Who the heck knows five people to split rent with?
This is a very nice apartment. The refrigerator is not big enough for 5 adults. The small space in the main living area would make a nice office.
Hi Cash $900 is a great price for a NYC loft. 👍
That kitchen is way to small for 5 people
Seriously Cash,
No knock on any New York neighborhood. If you can look at apts in EAST NEW YORK, you can look at apts in THE BRONX.
I wish they would remake the show “Friends”, but except more realistic. For example, instead of all the friends having their own place in Manhattan, they should all be roommates in an apartment in Brooklyn. They can consult you to make it more realistic.
Happy new year Cash
4500/month wont work if 1+ room-mates refuse to pay rent
when i rent i always advertise NO ROOMMATES and my lease (if you're lucky enough to not be Tenant-At-Will) says NO ROOMMATES
(which includes ADULT children who think they can live with mum and dad tenants for FREE)
ALOT of room-mates are skipping rent because what will the master tenant do if 1br goes non-paying?
Short of talking like trump for at least 5 minutes there is no way to force any room-mate to pay up or get out!
After all an eviction is for ALL occupants of the apt (including master tenant)
If two people rented it and split the rent it might not be too bad. You could have your own bedroom and office. The spare bedroom for storage. If that is all you really need, it might be pretty good.
yeah but you'd have to pay 2250 each plus utilities
Uncommon common space.
The range in how different real estate agents look in NYC 😂
Right lol. All of the Agents in Raleigh, NC wear suits lol
Sorry Cash, but these video titles - so misleading. It's $4500 a month. With all those roommates - to cut it down to $900 - of course people will eventually want to move the hell out.
😀
That’s what he does consistently. With almost 400k subscribers you’d think the clickbait wouldn’t be necessary
@@GDavis49 Yep. The clickbait titles are exactly why I've just had to unsubscribe.
9:11 Huge crack in the bathroom lavatory is included in the rent?
9:00 Basically all showers look like that in Slovakia. Funny how you consider it something "from the future".
Such a tiny kitchen between 5 people? NYC living really isn't for me!
Hey, Cash! n.b. this 5-bedroom loft is not $900.00 per mo., it is $900.00 per person for a grand total of $4,500.00 per mo. + electricity, + utilities + heat + hot water. Is it under rent control? Several sets of steep stairs & no elevator! That must be one of the smallest kitchens ever and no separate dining area and living space. Can't imagine five or more people sharing this space at the same time! The five bedrooms are all chopped up with really very little usable space. Brooklyn must be in another dimension in the Winter-time. Did anyone notice that woman wearing a tank top, shorts & knee high sox pushing a stroller while Cash is walking around bundled up in a parka? Sleepless in Toronto
..electricity + utilities + heat + hot water…
Got a little carried away? Catherine?
4 words when one of the word covers them all!
It's affordable and it's a nice apartment. But 5 different people? Side note, Dominick reminds me of Murray from Stranger Things lol.
Neat place..I like this man you meet sometimes...he is just idk...a special kind of good energy.
Brilliant for students New York study 2023 etc.
When I saw this one today. All I could think about is that other tiny apartment that had everything you need with a Murphy bed. Sorry Cash. I really couldn't see myself in this one. See ya
Omg $4500 for that amount of space is INSANE.
5 years later, NYC loft $1900 ..... each
Who in their right mind is going to share with 4 roommates? Most likely strangers with whom the only thing you have in common is the desire to strangle each other
Sadly I do not know four other people I would want to live with in an apartment.
That is if all 5 people actually like each other.
I feel that 5 people who work and are in and out at different times even just socialising it would work.
Will you stop saying something is one price but actually price per room, really annoying.
You can't divide the rent by the number of rooms, that's not the right math. 4500 divided by two bathrooms equals 2250. That's why they left.
Imagine spending this much on rent and the doors don't have handles, the sink has a massive crack in it and you need to install your own towel rack. As if the landlord couldn't afford to fix that with half a months rent.
NY is tough.
1. Ocean Hill is ENY/Brownsville. That's a real estate name to get people comfortable.
2. Who wants to live with four other people of whom you are relying on every month to be on time with their share of the rent and bills not to mention the other drama they may bring?
Ice maker? That’s a freezer…at a store.
😅😅😅😅
Wow, this is awesome! So does that mean the areas closer to Brownsville are in the midst of gentrification (I haven’t lived in NYC in years so I’m genuinely curious)? Every time I watch your videos, it makes me wanna move back. 😅
The apartment is in East New York. A very bad high crime area. No gentrification to speak of.
eny isn't that bad, there's definitely gentrification going on. I've seen newly built one bedrooms going for 2K a month
This apartment is in the Ocean Hill neighborhood which is part of Bed-Stuy, which is in the midst of gentrification!
@@kamiiu holy sh**! 😲
i'd happily take the two upstairs rooms and the patio, offer to pay £2000 a month to offset the private patio entrance. one room for my bedroom, the other for my workspace.
Don't take the offer for a private chat - it's a Cash Jordan imposter.
My guy really tryna make the dilapidated ass east new york area look good lmfao.
$900 doesn't sound cheap if you have to live with four (probable) strangers.
