NYC Apartment Tours: What 4k gets you in the West Village 

I am so glad you enjoyed it! I am still new to content creation, so I am just trying to improve little by little with every video

Totally agree !

NYC: monthly rent x 50 to even qualify.

It’s all about the career path you choose, salaries in cities are higher than Florida, Rhode Island etc. I’m hoping to go into the tech field, starting salary where I live is 60-80k but if I choose NYC Boston LA etc I may receive a starting salary of 80k-130k ($5,000-$7,600 with taxes included) which would not be possible where I am now.

Several decades ago when i graduated from college and moved into Manhattan, i found a large studio apartment in a doorman building, right across the street from Bloomingdales! I lived in it for 6 years. I swear on my life, this is true, i paid $297 per month rent. And 7 years ago i sold a tiny tiny co op apartment that my father had bought me, for $700,000. It was so small, you really can’t imagine. Maybe 500 square feet. The times they are a changin’.

Adrienne, I totally believe you. You have to wonder why there are so many homeless people on the streets of practically every major city in America. I honestly don't know where this is going and where it will stop. When I lived in New York I always told my husband at the dinner table that how much higher were rent and home prices going get. This is very scary.

@@auroratorres7873 i swear on my life that my little story is true! My parents had insisted thy if i move out, after college, it must be a doorman building, i was only 20 years old and in those days you walked around from building to building and asked the doormen if any vacancies. I was so excited to find something across the street from Bloomingdales. When i went to the renting agent ( with my mother, she insisted on coming), i was told you had to have $5000 in the bank to get the apartment, so my parents loaned it to me and i put it in my bank acct and later gave it back to them. But today, you need to have 40 times the yearly rental to rent an apartment in NYC. That’s crazy and it is why so many people must share an apartment. I never shared, i always wanted my own place, even now. And it is why so many are homeless. This is terrible. I watched Manhattan apartment rental videos for two hours last night. Apartments on a fifths floor walkup, smaller than a shoe box, for $4000 per month. It can’t get any worse.

I would be so depressed coming home to my shoebox apartment every night, and not having any money to do anything else after paying my rent. That's no way to live

This video really makes me grateful for what I call "My NYC S-hole"!!!

Finance (venture, private equity, hedge funds, wealth management, stock traders, and all the other roles that support these industries), big law, medicine, real estate, fine art(sell side), big media, advertising & marketing, tech. NYC is home to all major industries.

@@Robertking1996 thanks!

Manhattan, you pay for location. It is cheaper in the boroughs and across the water in NJ (more for the $$$) and you train in.

I suspect those who don't cook simply do not want to cook, or simply they don't have a lot of space to comfortably dine.

That’s how ALL prices happen. 100%.

Thank you so much!

Aw I really appreciate the kind words! Hopefully you'll love the videos I am planning in the coming weeks!

In Belgium for that money you can rent 2 houses, or be a home owner if you can pay that kind of money every month. Granted it's not in a big city, but still. Guess it comes down to how badly you want to live in a, in my opinion, filthy city, filled with car fumes, just to be able to say you live in New York 🤷🏼‍♀️

WOW, you are small minded.

@@sassygirl6407 Another small minded individual. In my opinion.

@@chashue6032 Small minded? For not wanting to live in a filthy city? How is that being small minded? Atleast I see the bigger picture and don't mind living in the countryside. Small minded is only seeing the city.

@@sassygirl6407 Yes, small minded. So, how long did you live in NYC and in which neighborhood before you moved out?

Don't worry, I'll be posting videos on both neighborhoods in the future! Stay tuned

The kind that will not leave you too exhausted so you can work your second job.. lol

I just watched it back and I am not sure I see anything that would indicate the burner is on. Either way though the building hasn't reported any issues, so if it was on someone must have turned it off by now!

That all depends on how you decide to lay out the space! Personally I'm a fan of doing the living space closest to the door and the sleeping space closest to the window if the studio is just one long rectangle.

Actually, it's quite the contrary! NYC has hit a 50 year vacancy low because so many people want to live here. NYC might not be for everyone, but I for one am happy I've made this place my home. www.nyc.gov/site/hpd/news/007-24/new-york-city-s-vacancy-rate-reaches-historic-low-1-4-percent-demanding-urgent-action-new#/0

Meanwhile the population of NYC is 8,089,689. Yeah, no one wants to live there. LOL
