- This is a fantastic little apartment, even if its not perfect. NYC definitely isnt perfect and thats why you should take this place - its as close as it gets.
Thanks to Alex for the tour:

Great news! If you make a purchase from any link above, my channel earns a small affiliate commission from the site.
I enjoy looking into the life of a city person, but I will NEVER understand the desire to pay this much for such a small place in a concrete hell.
Hell is right!
Happened upon your site after viewing tiny houses. New York living is definitely not my thing.
Gas leak double UGH. Hope you reported that.
this is the cheapest apartment available. so, like, where do the cooks and servers and janitors and hotel clerks and grocery store workers all live? because there's no way in hell they're making $10k a month and able to afford these apartments?
@@tirkentube Co-op City.
The issue is not "living here versus living somewhere else". The issue is "living here versus commuting". If you have to travel two hours in and two hours out to get to work these look pretty good.
As someone out in rural America, I find these videos so interesting. These tours are like getting a glimpse into a whole other kind of world.
You mean people who are mentally ill?
It’s like paying to be in prison.
A glimpse into madness... because I mean whyyyyyy???
Yup, one more reason to never live in N.Y.C. 👎
I'm a 69 year old born and bred New Yorker. I remember living in normal three and four bedroom apartments with one and a half baths, living room and full eat in kitchen for a fraction of what this closet passes for an apartment. It was years ago, but if you're going to pay a small fortune every month you should get more room. The greed in NYC by landlords is incredible. This makes appreciate my five thousand square foot home more.
Here in Central Missouri, you can rent a 3 bedroom, 1,400 square foot ranch HOUSE for 1,500$ a month.
I remember watching TV shows/movies in the 80s and 90s and seeing how big and full of character the apartments in NY were. It always made me want to live there just to experience the city life. But seeing how they chop up these apartments today is ridiculous. Some of these places are barely liveable, much less worth what they charge for rent.
Lol dude all the places hes showimg are south and central Manhattan
@@brockreynolds870 Here in southern Maine you can rent a 1 bedroom for $2700. If you can find one...
@@ck2d Not sure where you're looking, but I just looked at available apartments in Lewiston, and 1 bedroom starts at 950$ a month.
I'm getting claustrophobia just seeing these places
I might not have a problem with claustrophobia, but seeing the prices of the rent for these places about give me a heart attack.
Same
Remember: if you decide to rent, one of these, add the cost of Having your head examined into your monthly expenses
YASSSS lol same. Hate small spaces.
ha ha!!! ikr! and we thought Colorado was expensive! Nope! @@TheJadeFist
me and my dad literally be waiting for your videos to come out and neither of us intend to move to NYC, we just love your vibe!!
somehow I think thats most of his subscribers lol
😂me too. I’m not moving but watch every video😂
@@vsanchez7158 Basically, bro is the entertaining version of HGTV😂😂
Thank you!
*intends
I'm all about living small, but this isnt my cup of tea. I need space around me, green grass, privacy. We converted a shed into a home and spent $21,000 on the shell and did everything else ourselves to save money. We're in our 40's and mortgage free on 5 acres. That sounds like paradise to me. I couldn't do city living. Sounds and looks depressing.
Some of us don't want to spend our lives drinking around a fire pit.
Imagine being pleasantly surprised that a shower door closes in an apartment that costs you 5 grand a month. What a nightmare it must be to live in nyc.
I love watching your videos and I always enjoy the fact that you make it sound like they’re so cheap when they are so outrageously expensive! Lol
I hate his videos because he's always slamming people's things.
@@T0e-Manand yet here you are
I would love to move back to the city, but it is very hard for disabled old people. It’s a young people town.
yep they are taking over man.... the kids from the 80s will be in homes soon enough. My son threatens to commit me every day.
Not really. You can get into a neighborhood where you don't need a car for anything, ever. I watched my grandmother grow old in a rural place, unable to drive at night, begging people for rides.
The prices of these apartments always equally amaze and disgust me. According to the US Census Bureau, median household income in NY was just under $71,000 in 2021. So that is just under $6,000 per month. How on earth does anyone afford living there? And that is HOUSEHOLD income, not individual income.
I wonder if they factor in the homeless population ❤
New York state? Or NYC?
Averaging in all parts of all boroughs gives a false impression, which should be obvious to you because people do afford living there. At most you should average NYC neighborhoods, and even then you could have the wealthy living with a maid, or you could have a household of many wage earners, as diverse as college students supported by rich parents, adult roommates, or an extended family. Try not to be so judgemental with such superficial information. That always equally amazes and disgusts me.
@@653j521 A median is not an average. You don't seem to understand how a median works. Sure, people 'afford' to live in NYC - by spending 50% (or more) of their monthly wage on rent or by renting tiny, horrible apartments. Doesn't mean it's 'affordable', or that those people aren't in financial difficulty (maxing out credit cards etc.), or won't have serious problems when they hit retirement age.
Permanent Roommates are now required to live in NYC
Ive seen some pretty crazy nyc places, my friend had a space that was legit just a very short (8ft maybe) hallway that had a "kitchen", with three closest size rooms off of it each with a roommate and these were all like professionals working. Total insanity.
If the exit route out of the apartment is long and the windows have bars on them, you're basically trapped in case something happens.
That's illegal. All dwellings in NYC are required to have a secondary means of egress. There are FDNY approved security gates that can be opened from the inside but not from the outside.
@@nhf7170Clearly all the people who liked didn’t read your comment.
@@heidi_d Hitting "like" means agreement
The kitchen that's also a hallway that you can't easily walk past anyone cooking being pitched for a roommate situation was hilarious.
Thanksgiving would be a hell of a day there.
4900 for a dump. Other than family or a dream job, can’t fathom why anyone would choose to purposely live in New York. That being said, your videos are the best. Thank you.
Some of the best food, best entertainment, best opportunities. It's really not hard to understand. Def not for me, though. I would not mind living in a tiny apartment, though. My 5"6 manlet ass can easily fit.
It's a fantastic city that's why people live there. If you live there and don't have the money for rent or have a vehicle (and most New Yorkers don't) how are you going to move? Fly out in a magic carpet that has a trunk big enough to hold your stuff? Moving is very expensive and unless there is a job waiting for you, how will someone get a place to live?
Solutions to the lack of jobs and low income housing are needed everywhere, especially in big cities. It would be so easy to solve the homeless problem by just giving people homes. I can just hear the conservatives having a collective heart attack, but you can't get a job without an address, a clean body, and clean clothes. A place to live provides a safe place to sleep, to keep and prepare food (better than fast food or no food), to rest instead of begging for money, and an address which you need to get mail. It's cheaper than having people homeless. It will keep children off the streets and in school. Providing assistance for mental health and addictions is much easier when you can go to their home instead of searching the street. It's much easier to stop an addiction when you live in better circumstances.
The benefits are huge. Except nobody wants low income housing in their neighbourhood, even though there are many benefits for mixed income communities, and even mixed income apartments complexes. Reducing the number of homeless people reduces crime. When a person who was homeless gets a place to live they want to do everything to keep it. So many people are one small step away from homelessness and yet we look down on them like they've failed horribly. A lost job, a chronic illness, an accident leading to expensive medical bills, the inability to work, and a myriad of other things completely out of anyone's control. If someone could work harder and not be homeless you bet they would be, but it's not always that easy.
@@Dain75Moving is not expensive as long as you're moving to a town/city that has affordable housing and decent paying jobs - they exsist all over the country. How is a tank of gas to transport you out of town expensive? Heck, sell everything you own and hitchhike. If the homeless can travel from the east coast to California to be worthless across the country, there's no excuse that a responsible, hard working person can't leave New York.
Also, there are plenty of apartments on the market between 500K - 800K. you buy one and pay 3-4K a month and actually own a place.
@@opart if it’s somewhere that people choose to be, buying is the only way. Spending 5000/7000 a month for a shack, is spitting in the wind.
You couldn't Pay Me to live in NY. I'm claustrophobic as it is, but man these are tiny places
@russianaloha4576
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I could certainly be convinced if I were being paid but it would depend on how much? lol I actually love NYC and lived there for 5-years but not under the constraint of such small living spaces.🧚♀
How many posters have anxiety disorders? It seems a very high number. People seem to be cowering at home while living vicariously with yt. I would live there if you paid me enough, just for a new experience. 🙂
@@653j521 I live outside most the time, my home isn't huge but definitely not as cramped as this. I prefer to be in my yard doing something or at the beach or in the mountains.
Not as tiny as a bunch of studios we’ve seen! Or studios with a fake wall and being called a one bedroom!
I would love to see the people who afford and who renting these apartments!!
I could NEVER live like that. I get scared watching those tight spaces, those narrov places ... it makes me truly sick.
why someone would pay upwards of 40,000 dollars a year to live in a small 1 bedroom apartment is beyond my understanding, you could buy a house just outside the city
You make more money in the city. And the reduced commute can be life changing. 😊
@@taffycat5049 saving $25k per year could be life changing.
"Just outside the city"??? How far outside? 2 hours commute, each way, 5 days per week?
@@illawarriorhill70 ?? I live in Jersey and I am 20 mins outside Manhattan, and cost of living here is 1/3rd the price... Most Areas in NJ are super close to NYC.
@@illawarriorhill70 you would be surprised ho far 30 minutes gets you. for a big prt of this country a 30 minute comute was normal weather it was to the city or just a few towns over.
I am floored by the fact there are people who want to live in NYC badly enough to pay these kinds of prices. (OK, OK, maybe they need to, for professional reasons. But still...)
You can't imagine the possibilities.
3:19 This apartment is nice, but I see foreseeable damage being done to the walls and doors because there is no way they won't bang into each other with multiple people living there. Yeah, you'll get used to it after a while, but there will still be damage done.
I've watched a lot of NYC apartment vids on RUclips and this is one of the best. (It actually is the most informative about things renters really care about. Appreciate the work put in to share this with all of us.
my great aunt has the same gray sweater, she likes it a lot too
"and the cool thing is, the buildings laundry is right across the hall"?, can you imagine the sounds of the machines rumbling at all hours.
Loved the vlog and alex..........................oh and cash lol 😀😀😀
The outlet on the wall in the kitchen was for a wall phone. Its next to the phoneline.
I love this new apartment series you have been doing
Aside from the prices of course, those aren't some bad apartments. I could live comfortably in them, especially the one with the washer dryer.
They'd be fine for $700 or $800.
The first apartment is perfect for me is cute and the last one is cool.Thank you Cash & Alex Have a Great Day
GARDEN APARTMENT is the realtor/developer charm term for apartments at the lowest level, but where windows still sit above the physical ground.
Bed above the sewer trap?!?!?!?
Good luck with that.
Love how spacious the last apartment is! So bright and beautiful too.
Every time I see you get in a tub/shower with your shoes on it hurts my soul.
This is Gonna b so Interesting CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Thursday😀….
The outlet in the first one that is by the closet - get a small plant holder type shelf that will hold a coffee maker and if it has more shelves you can put your coffee pods in a little basket.
I love this new apartment series you have been doing. Love how spacious the last apartment is! So bright and beautiful too..
Yes, a great place to have a party, isn't it? You could probably fit in three or four friends along with your roommates,, as long as one of them doesn't mind sitting on the toilet. Amazing value for the money!
I pay $1500 a month for a 3 bedroom on 14 acres and my work is fully remote. There is no way you could convince me to pay that much and give up this peace.
Some of us don’t want peace. We want to be around people and have things to do.
Cash- one thing about NYC is that you can go across the street from one older building and find a new tower with convincing upgrades and a killer view for a comparable price. This was a great example of finding the best value and vibe. You covered a lot of territory in 11:59 minutes. Impressive work. You are a smooth operator.😁
Keep going!☮️👏👏👏👏
Hi Cash and to your friend wow this is a cute tiny apartment. I like the laundry room in the same floor. Stay well and safe 👍😀
That one apartment way up high… I imagine how pretty all the city lights are at night with the NY skyline.
Nice to see Alex there again.
That first apartment is insulting.
Cash the reason that one light started flickering off and on like that when you flip the switch three times is because it’s a smart bulb and now it wants to connect to the app which is the other people probably had and you don’t lol
$2,500 in TX...a 4 bedroom 2000 sq ft house easy... NYC... 1 room everything included 😶
Got to go with the last one. Great storage big rooms and that View! I also really like the kitchen in that one
Tiny storage, tiny rooms, tiny kitchen. But then, I live in 1200 sq feet with 20 foot ceilings, so I'm jaded.
All were nice enough but #2 only had 1 bathroom for 3 bedrooms! #4 was my fav but there was no mention of laundry in the apartment or building! For almost $5k I'd expect that. That's a deal breaker for me. Thanks guys.
As someone who lived with 2 bathrooms for 6 people it's actually very do-able! As long as everyone is considerate of each other
They said the laundry was in the unit. And you can see the washer/dryer is in the kitchen.
My daughter's Junior year of college apartment had 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with 5 girls and they made it work fine. Young people in temp situations don't really care.
@@BrittenelleandOrionKMGScrew that, even if everyone is considerate, what about waking up at night or the morning, really needing to use the bathroom, and someone is in there. Or, you've been out all day, didn't want to use a public toilet (very understandable concern), you come home really needing to go and, again, someone is in the bathroom. Now you're yelling at them to get the hell out so that you don't have a cleanup on aisle 3, lol.
I went through this with living with just one other person, but it was at a townhouse. So, if I woke up and needed to pee and my roommate sibling was in the the bathroom upstairs, guess who had to try to either hold it until he got out (not so quick to get off the toilet when you're in the middle of a poop) or try to shuffle downstairs to use the half-bath without going on myself? After rooming five years with my sibling, I swore to never again rent a townhouse with another person and if there's more than one person living in the home, two bathrooms is an absolute must 😅.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValleyI live in a midwestern college town; I don't know of any 3-bedroom apartments that have more than one bathroom. One bathroom is standard. Even most 3 bedroom houses here (like mine) have just one bathroom. A lot of people will put an additional toilet in the basement, but I haven't done that.
Humorous moment when Cash is in the hallway opening the dishwasher in the apartment.😁
From the hallway you can also open the dishwasher in your neighbor's apartment. If that isn't convenient, I don't know what is
@@hubertvancalenbergh9022 😅
. Get if you're having a party clean-up will be a breeze!
I like how clip number 3 has an open floor kitchen/living room. The long hallway was cool and the window thing has me cracking up 😆
Why does one need a dishwasher when maximum two people will live there? When one has a dishwasher one needs to have enough dishes to fill it! Then one needs to have the space to store all those dishes.. dishwashers current space could be used to store ?? Something else.. additional pantry space maybe?
The maze in those apartments are giving me a headache.
Woow that's so crazy with pricing and all that😮😮
I would put fake brick wallpaper over the real brick wall so so when people come over and compliment me how nice it looks I can say touch it it feels real.😅
All the places were pretty good but my favorite was the last one. I think it had an elevator. But I loved the view so much. I would prefer to live alone. All the rooms felt very comfortable to me. Thanks for sharing. Have a good day.😊
$2500 for a studio is insane! That’s what I pay for my 2 bedroom here in MN!
Depends where in MN...3 or 4 bedrooms for under 2500
Good Morning Cash! 🌞 The apartment showings with Alex was very entertaining 😂. Cash broke the dimmer light! The bathroom light can be shut off from the outside!?! Roommates will be pulling pranks for sure!
In the UK, it’s unusual to have the switch in the bathroom unless it’s on the ceiling with a string. Wet hands and electricity…
I thought that too! Then I traveled through Europe and almost all the Airbnbs we stayed in had the switch outside the bathroom. I think here we must have different grounding methods for electricity because I can switch my light off with wet hands and it’s not an issue.
my bathroom light is outside the bathroom also. i never thought about it before
Loved this episode! U guys are awesome!!!
Y’all have great chemistry. Y’all had me chuckling 😀
Cash is hilarious.
Yes he is!
Studios usually are ok but when you said sewer grate.... big NO!
that last one is great!!!!
I would lose my mind living in those tiny apartment, especially in the Winter.
TWINS !
Very cozy apartments ❤
Your channel is fantastic! Just discovered it and immediately subbed.
I love how cast to make anything like a plus!!😂
Im claustrophobic just thinking of that second place … let alone with 3-4 people in it lol
And yet you watch--to report to the world your anxiety disorder?
@@653j521 calm down it’s just a random comment on a RUclips video … move on
Will these basement units all flood with the next Super storm?
If you are afraid, don't live there.
@@653j521 Got to love all your snarky comments towards people in this comment thread. My my...get a life and stop putting people down to feel better about your miserable personality. She was just asking a genuine question. I suggest leaving your parents basement.
#4 hands down. If I lived in New York I would want to feel like I lived in New York 😊
I lived in that building where you had to go through the door labeled "rear". it was horrible. those wall mounts are the only heat for the apartment and it was impossible to keep the apartment a reasonable temperature and it still cost $500 a month to try in the winter. as far as i know, the front units are better.
I appreciated the last apartment out of all of them.. it wasn't a fancy place but it had enough space to move around comfortably and the view was Good2Go
Was the titanic known for water pressure?
It is now😂
I think you're thinking of the titan😂
Well it certainly rushed in…
They definitely need to change the bedroom doors in #2.
to pocket doors
Everytime I watch these videos I have to add "new york" prefix to your size references. Like "this is [new york] large" or "[new york] best closets". Keep the entertainment going!
The first one - the sewer trap access right under your bed? No, thank you. The second one is the cheapest per person. The bedrooms hog all the windows, but they do let in daylight. The third one has a bit more kitchen and common space, but at a higher price. The last one is expensive for a one-bedroom, and no in-unit laundry! So, if you're paying for it I'll live in the last one, but if I have to pay for it I'll take the second one and share it with two NYC crazies.
Amanda, your idea for incorporating the shutters and window boxes took this incredible tiny house to being an incredible tiny home! Wonderfully simple additions notched it up 500%! I'd definitely purchase it...but I'd have to win the lottery first! Superb craftsmanship to you and Randy both!
Wrong video, hon.
@@Widdershins. 🤣
My name is Amanda, so I read this and raised an eyebrow 😂
Cash, those Air Flight sneaks are fresh bro!
I would never in my wildest dreams wanna move to NY, any part of ut,. But I would actually be totally happy in an Apt like these. Units havwe all the room in need and no square footage i dont need. Saves cleaning areas i dont use as well as money. Ill take one!
Just move to west New York, NJ, man. It's not too gentrified, has personality, honestly really great people, close to good food, Hispanic and Korean specifically (really love all the Columbian and Peruvian spots), relatively not that expensive compared to NYC, you should be able to get a consistently well priced apartment that's at least 500sqft in WNY (or North Bergen and Union City, hell hit up the Journal Square/Heights areas of Jersey City, too, get some good Filipino & Indian cuisine while being close to good parks, other parts of NJ, you are a train ride away from NYC, and you still get more space for the money most of the time)
Edgewater & Ridgefield don't really have good train mass transit comparent to west New York, weehawken, union City, Hoboken, and JC
If I had the dough, final apartment is for me.
Have fun on your vacation
Would love to see more of the neighbourhood, just a quick peak....great video though
Love your videos. Makes me feel good that I live in one of the most expensive cities in my country, but I pay 30 % of the first appartement and have triple the size of space :D
where do you live? sounds like I need to think about moving!
It usually is a basement when the laundry is on your floor and the floor is that red heavy duty tile.
I love the old brick buildings with the fire escapes
love the small apartment tour, but real question...why don't more people use Murphy Beds (or ceiling beds) I have a murphy bed system (closets, shelves, drawers, end tables) in my guest room....works great. They have now where you have a couch in the day and the bed flips over the top and it becomes the bed....just flip it away when done...you don't even have to make the bed. I think living in a small space you can only make so much space, either go vertical or hidden...so Apartment #1, the outlet was up by the phone jack (old phone jack) so it was up that high so you could hang your portalbe telephone/answering machine on the wall...no horrible cords :)
I always wonder the same thing about Murphy beds.
Now, onto the important questions: Is Alex single? Asking for a friend……..
For $5700 a month, you could buy a house with acreage in a small town or rural area. Have internet, work remotely
This video was awesome!
Great spaces!😊
I love these tours of New York apartments. As much as I like the older buildings definitely would take that last apartment in the high-rise, if I could afford any of them. 😹 Here near Dallas an 1,800 SF three bedroom house in the suburbs costs $1,200 per month to buy.
But you are in Dallas.
Why anyone would subject themselves to these living conditions for huge $$$$ is beyond me🙄
EXACTLY!!! This dude in this video act like the price is no big deal. 😂
I can deal with a lack of a dishwasher, but I couldn’t live with one of those tiny sinks. I hate bedroom doors with glass in them, too. I know they’re trying to get some natural light into the hallways, but if I’m trying to sleep, I don’t want to see light from the hallway or roommate’s bedroom.
Love your videos.
The 1st apartment you want me to put a bed on top of a SEWER TRAP??? God forbid the sewer line starts to back up you will be spelling methane gas & havong the plumber come in to your place to snake the line. Thanks, no thanks. Not for $2500. Not even for $25. The 2nd building we've seen apartments in b4 & they've been in the back. No way would i be going in we've i have to walk past the garbage & 4 legged furry pizza rats. I don't care that there's in-unit laundry. Just not happening. Even tho the last 1 is actually the 2nd most expensive & only a 1 bedroom is actually the best. No garbage. No sewer. Win win
I’m guessing that bedroom always has a methane smell. Nice and ripe in the summer.
. As a studio the whole place can smell of it & when it does you will know
I'm dying🤣🤣🤣🤣, furry 🍕🐀.
nyc apt prices are just made up on the fly.. 2500 for a studio is silly, i know we seen bigger and better at that price , 2nd place at 5700 is super irratonal, that 3 people gonna live comfy in that tiny area, one person would be claustrophobic ! 3rd one still tiny at 4500 geez
i also dont get the last one at 4900 wich is smaller and 45 floors up.. thats crazy
I love your exploring! And I liked the last one bedroom the best. Is there a specific reason why you don’t give measurements and give square footage? When you have 240 square feet, is it 10x24, or 12x20 or 15x16?
He often does give measurements. At least he used to. 240 square ft is odd that you mention it I have a 240 sq ft building in my backyard and it's 12x20. 10x24 would be a possibility but I doubt you see 15x16.
I liked the older brick apartments but the view of the last one was nice.
Insanity to pay these prices for these properties. Just pure insanity.
Now you see why raising wages across the board is counterproductive; it just causes inflation. When everyone's wages go up, landlords, retailers, etc., just raise their prices, too, and nobody wins. It starts by raising minimum wage; then everyone else wants a bigger paycheck, too. Then the landlords and retailers and theaters and bars ad infinitum want a piece of that. It never ends.
Curios about something: do people want to deal with brokers that are dressed like frat boys?
If you're renting in the 'cheaper' parts of New York... you kinda want someone who doesn't look like a corporate schmooze.
As long as he knows his stuff he can wear a dress for all I'd care.
@@richardvinsen2385 Oh here we go with your negative comments. You never miss a beat do you?
Apts certainly have gotten smaller. Our gang all moved out but now our kids are already there (Brooklyn mostly) or looking.
