Happy Sunday, everyone! I apologize for being MIA. I didn’t expect my break to last this long. I hope you’re all doing well! 💗. I truly hope this video helps you on your apartment hunting journey. While my search focused on Manhattan, the process will be similar across other boroughs too. If you have any additional tips or advice, please share them in the comments below!
Love this! I also recently moved in Brooklyn and a couple of tips is to watch how the landlord and/or management company behaves. Even if the space is beautiful, if your landlord is a nightmare, it's not worth taking it, and, if you're moving to a new neighborhood, take a stroll at night. The last thing you need is to move to a place that's fine during the day and is party central at night (if that's not what you want). And finally, please keep in mind the demographics of the neighborhood. If you're not a part of that community, please consider the cultural things that occur. Festivals, parties, religious ceremonies, parades, are ways that folks celebrate their heritage and it's the worst when someone moves in only to make noise complaints.
A very thorough & professional job. Informative for anyone searching for an apartment in a large metropolitan city. So many aspects to consider. Thank you for all the time this compilation took. It’s not easy to put something like this together & you rocked it! 🎉👏
I don’t plan on moving to NYC, but this is the most comprehensive video I’ve seen of NYC apartment hunting. The living room view on that Upper West Side unit was how NYC is presented on tv. I think the apartment you ended up looks like your taste
Broker fee is such a robbery 🥲 to the renter. The landlord should be paying up. Excellent and thorough video! Thank you so much. I live in NYC and didn’t know about the ESA!
I have come to have great expectations every time you post, but this one was an entirely different level, even the colors seemed better and that sweater really looks good on you. Thank you so much for all the valuable information.
40x is crazy wow. thank you for this very informative video. Broker fees are also ridiculous that it's required when you're doing most of the work. In Los Angeles, I found all the apartments myself and worked directly with the owners.
Thank you so much for this video!! I have 90 days to move to New York for a job transfer and I am freaking out! lol but it’s an opportunity I cannot pass up! This is giving me such a guidance as to looking where to look, what to look for, what to gather, so thank youuuu!!!
Thank you for the vlog Tisha! This was hands down one of the best NYC apartment hunting tips videos ive seen. Especially giving the info on ESA and looking at the past rental price history on Streeteasy. I already was doing that and was so glad to see you putting that info out there! Name of the game in NYC apartment hunting is persistence, flexibility, and being super diligent. Thanks again!
This just convinced me to stay in my rinky-dink little rent stabilized studio on SI. Takes like, 2 hours to get anywhere in other parts of the city, but its only $1400/month, and there's no rodents/roaches, and it does meet most of my must haves.
As I watched the process from your videos as you were going through it, i found this video still very enlightening with all the info in one! I'm not planning on moving to NYC but find all of this very interesting and i enjoy seeing the differences in how it's done there and the ways you have to proceed, etc. I can't imagine how much time you spent putting this video together and really appreciate your work on it! It was very informative and I hope it's a very successful one for you! I enjoy all your videos and appreciate your dedication to them! Hope you're doing well! Sending Jhaape some petting and snuggles! ❤
Tisha, my Friend lives in Brooklyn, and is looking at apartments right now. He is extremely discouraged by the price points. This vlog is exteeremely helpful. 💜✨💜
Thank you for the tips on NYC apartment hunting. I enjoyed it and my goal is to live in NYC and I'm in my 50's!!! I don't feel my age and there's no limit to dreams coming true. Peace 🕊️
Hi, Tisha a very good information video. You mention t a few apartments to do a video hunting . My one suggested is to tell people to go see a apartment in person. No matter how nice it may look on paper. Go in person and check everything out completely. I had a friend who was moving and we found the apartment ourself. 🎉
Hey Deborah, I always recommend to see apartments in person even when there is a video. I was only suggesting to check the video for reference only prior to booking the appointment. Based on the video, if the apartment doesn’t fit your criteria then you don’t have to go to the viewing. Congratulations to your friend 🎊
Thank you Tisha for this very informative video! Hands down the best and thorough NYC house hunting video I've watched. I have started my apartment hunting for a month now and I am very stressed. But seeing you looked at 50 apartments and applied to 10 really reminds I should keep looking and not settle with anything I am not happy about🫶also happy to know that the numbers of apartments will go up in February, such a relief for me! I am planning on fostering dogs and it's so difficult to find a pets-friendly house within a reasonable price range. Anyways! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season💗Manifest for the best in 2025!
I would never live in New York, but enjoy watching your adventures in New York! Well, I’d live in New York if I was really, really rich, but that’s never going to happen, so, I’ll continue to watching you and adorable Jhape! 🐶❤️
This is a great and informative video for those moving to NYC!! My friend lives in Jersey City and is moving to a new apartment where the owner is paying half the broker fee and it has a washer and dryer. She had massive amounts of black mold all over and the landlord neglected to take care of it! She is still staying in Jersey City.
Black mold is very serious and is linked to cancer and even brain issues with cognition. I’m glad your friend is staying away! It costs thousands of dollars for remediation which can only be done by professionals.
Great video. Looking for apts and moving is stressful AF. NYC really has us in these streets competing for an overpriced box to live in lol I remember watching your videos and seeing some of the same apts I viewed and it all felt so hopeless. then I found my apt and I'm happy I didn't like or get the other ones. In the end you got a great apt that you like that's pest and rodent free. Which is very important.
Hard work to get somewhere to live in Nyc! I live in Stockholm, Sweden; here we all apply to a queue for apartments, and there is this website where all the apartments are listed (all rent stabalized). It can take 10 years of queue time to get one though. You can find a so called second hand contract for apartment but they are only for one year at a time and much more expensive.
I love that you're doing it in your 30s. I''m 29 but I feel like your 30s is when life REALLY starts, you begin getting rid of all the messy bits of your 20's and are able to truly live in a more free, full version of yourself!
Hi Tisha, glad to see you again. I thought you went to Nepal to be with your family for vacation. I always look forward to watching your videos. At my age, it's refreshing to see young people like you go for what they want with a good head on their shoulders. However, personally watching this video was stressful. Why? It's me, not you. For years I wanted to get out of NYC. I did manage to move to Texas. I have adult children like you who for some reason love to be here. I'm only here because of them. However, I'm looking forward to leave NYC permanently. If my children want to see me, they will have to go where I move to even to visit. The fact that I'm in the process of doing that re.inds me how stressful it is to look for apartments and move out from one place to move into another. That part I'm not looking forward to. Just had to get it out of my chest. : )
This apt hunting video made me think it was a full time job along with doing your regular work 😩 I do have a question? Because you got processed as ESA for your dog, do you still have to pay a monthly pet fee? I lived in Seattle area before I moved and apts were being to charge monthly fee for pets, they are more open to pets but figured a way to increase income 😝Thanks for your information on Apts
Thank you so much 🙏🏽. My apartment doesn’t have pet fee. When I was living in Jersey, I had to pay $50 additional for rent (pet fee lol) and in some places in addition to that pet deposit as well. I didn’t see this in nyc though. In order to get ESA paperwork, I had to pay $129 but it is only valid for a year. I forgot to mention this in the video
Hi Tisha! Thank you for sharing! it was very helpful! I have a question to ask you: IS the price for NYC Apartments in these areas (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island) worth the cost of taking the next steps of moving to NYC? also, how is the job market in NYC? are there a lot of jobs available? I'm looking for only part tine work, Is the pay of working part time enough for paying for an apartment in NYC? I was wondering if it is worth to take the risk and move to nyc? or should I just take the bus or train from my part of NY TO NYC? let me know some tips and suggestions should be helpful
here the brokers are showing the apartments and handling the paperwork on behalf of the landlord but for some reason tenants have to pay the commission
Happy Sunday, everyone! I apologize for being MIA. I didn’t expect my break to last this long. I hope you’re all doing well! 💗.

Thank you so much 🙏🏽 I agree with you about the broker fee, but that’s unfortunately the way it is in NYC 😩
Offtopic, but the pink shirt you're wearing during the narrations looks so good on you. I feel like hot pink is so your color. ❤
Thank you so much 💗

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I still have the fantasy of moving to NYC but the criteria and financial abuse these landlords and brokers put people through are just insane 😮💨
Soooo true !!
Same
And all the cockroaches!🥴
It truly is insane 😢
40x is crazy wow. thank you for this very informative video. Broker fees are also ridiculous that it's required when you're doing most of the work. In Los Angeles, I found all the apartments myself and worked directly with the owners.
That’s crazy all the money you had to put up, up front
It is 💸 💸💸

And having enough money to avoid the ugly side of apartments!
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. Good luck with your apartment hunting ✨✨✨
Great details and flow.

I got creeped out at 16:24 when the guy seemed disappointed you had moved! yikes!
This is insanely thorough!! Amazing job!!
Thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm also 33 and about to move to ny. Your video was very informative and helpful, thank you!!
Thank you so much and congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Outstanding, moving to NYC video. Most thorough one I’ve seen yet. Thank you, Tiesha.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽
Hi, it seems you got the best one. Some of the others felt like a jail more than a home. Yours is very nice, hope you have a nice time there.
Thank you 🙏
Such an informative video. I could have watched this all day
Thank you so much 🙏🏽
I'm a New Yorker and glad you posted your journey in looking for an apartment. We will be here waiting for your next journey ❤️ Blessings to you

how much should you make in order to survive living in NYC
40X the rent…. Chile! No! Lol but I’m also from Philly so NYC is a neighboring city.
If that's her requirement she's making appx. 106k. I guess that's possible? I know wages are higher there.

Tisha did you get a new camera?
I got DJI Osmo Pocket 3 few months ago. I still need to replace my new vlogging camera
What is this broker fee for?
Stepping in to answer in case Tisha doesn’t see your question.
It’s their commission.

I got a headache watching this...apartment hunting in NYC is not for the faint of heart..too much stress & working at the same time!!??!! No thanks
I never could understand why you picked the ones you did.
i think she applied for a lot of cute ones, but she didn't get accepted.
After watching c a s h Jordan ..... I would never live there
