I Found NYC’s Best Apartment… in a Basement 

I don't think this is a place you rent just for yourself. It's more of a family or shared and price is lower if you do that. There are affordable ones in NYC just not looking as good as this

I could theoretically afford it but I would NEVER spend that amount of money on something I will never own.

And the real estate agent will say it's cheap

@@williamegler8771 Yeah at least buy it with a mortgage and you own it someday.

​@Peter 4,000 for a bedroom? Still ridiculous.

I concur.

At the rate we've been going what snow? Lol. & you can tell Cash didn't film this the last couple of days with the crazy temperatures we've had. At least it had a wine fridge but $9K is too much

@@MamaCarola1 Where I live it would be cheaper to get a 2 story house 3 car garage a really nice backyard maybe with a pool and 5 bedrooms 4 baths basically everything you need and the mortgage on it per month wouldn't be 8k maybe 4k and at least for that you get a freakin nice house and you could rent out the other 4 bedrooms if ya want and make it even cheaper I dont understand why people torture themselves by living in NYC

@@teagod2_214 The Museum of Modern Art, Alvin Ailey, The Guggenheim, Carnegie Hall, WallStreet, the fashion industry, the art industry, on and on...

@@teagod2_214 the torture is called “ work opportunities” in your field of choice…..if you are born in the city you usually stick around

You can see them. Just walk along the High Line and you can see the lack of privacy these people in these "fabulous" apartments have! I couldn't live there. However, I could live in one that the crowds can't see into!!! West Chelsea is a beautiful neighborhood from the late 1800's.

Search "lantern House NYC" 🤗

Practically everyone does.

What's insane is: the greatest city in the world is actually becoming the worst city to live in. People are leaving in droves. No need to wonder why! We've all seen that movie, Escape from New York. Rent prices like 9k is one of many reasons.

Mind-boggling

$108,000 per year for a roof space.

Manhattan is crazy, and Chelsea is one of the most expensive neighborhoods. Most New York City residents live in the other boroughs that are much less expensive (Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island). Even upper Manhattan from Harlem north is less expensive. The people who live south of 125th street are either very affluent, have a rent controlled apartment, are students living in university dorms or faculty living in subsidized housing, or people living is super small micro studio apartments.

And rats! Don't forget rats!

@@nygrl6102 yes rats. Although we didn’t have rats but we did have mice and no matter what we could not get rid of them. Glad we escaped NYC

Hurricanes are very rare in New York... Snow would be a bigger issue. According to the National Hurricane Center, on average, hurricanes winds have impacted the New York City area every 19 years, and major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher) every 74 years. A Category 5 hurricane is not expected to occur here under current climate conditions.

Not to mention the dark bathroom with no window no natural light no natural air circulation. Yuck!

I guess someone can afford it, or they wouldn’t be able to rent it, but no one I know.

9000k a month Lololol.7000k overpriced

Yes yes do a video on THAT!!!!

Yes, I agree, it is interesting to see how others live. But a person would have to be pulling down some serious $ to afford a 9K rent or even 4.5K with a roommate. And in the end, it's still NYC, where there is as much ugly as there is picturesque. At 06:00 AM this morning, I walked around outside listening to birdsong, watched the daybreak, then crossed the road to walk a short distance to the river gurgling with the snow melt. Wouldn't trade that for any pad in NYC no matter how upscale!! I get all the light and fresh air I want for free. Of course, it can come with coyotes, bobcats. bears and fisher cats so you have to be careful. But there are also owls, dove-tailed hawks, cardinals, red-winged blackbirds, downy woodpeckers, deer and an occasional moose. You "pick your poison," I guess... 🤷‍♂ Chuck in Northern New England

@@bartonone2005 mine is Mount Carmel and the Mediterranean Sea …

@@deborahhemstreet1545 I can only imagine what it must be like to see the Mediterranean Sea from Mount Carmel!! It must be spectacular!! I've only seen it from a plane flying into Leonardo da Vinci Airport. Now that I think about it, I did see it from the beach during a day trip to Nice on the Côte d'Azur. But that's not the same...

I agree. I live in Athens, Greece and I pay 9K for 2.5 years rent, and I am a 10 minute walk to the Parthenon ...

You would be very lucky not to be attacked, robbed, beaten, stabbed etc for the honor of paying an insane amount of money for nothing.

Don't forget, in the future you will own nothing and love it. I'm not sure how that works but that's the mantra we're hearing from the globalists. Add to that : we will all eat bugs. Which I guess they can make look like steak and chicken.....but not shrimp you can't fake a shrimp. But I digress. 9k is just ridiculous. Even for the big apple 🍎

@Bridget Connors I agree! People are complaining about the price, but you have everything: great design, wonderful finishes, high end appliances, 2 OUTDOOR SPACES… the price is under in my opinion. I lived in NYC & paid $3k for a modern 1 bedroom. I would never live w/roommates again but having a wife or girlfriend to split this would be amazing

Except for the laundry is in one of the bedrooms, that's not so good !

@@timb.9224 It's fine if I use that room for an office.

Probably both, some new basements some renovated due to hurricane flooding issues

The Highline is REALLY a nice walk and even with the buildings you feel as if you're not even in NYC.

If you want to see the old New York move to (or visit) Shanghai which I understand was re-created as a replica of the big apple 🍎 from years ago. Better than anything in Vegas so I hear ....idk. I wonder if they have a Katz's deli.

The NYC you revere didn't look like NYC in 1900. Things change. Not always for the better.

@@nygrl6102 The NYC I Revere is from the late sixties when I lived there. But NYC did get better when Guliani was mayor, most people agree. Crime went down and Times Square was like Disney. The peep shows were gone. Now Disney is itself not the happiest place it used to be. Still, you couldn't pay me enough to live again in NYC. I will settle for watching the cool Cash Jordan videos!

Shanghai is modern modern. Like that new Hell's Kitchen redevelopment but on steroids

@Keetah Brough NYC is always evolving for the good & bad. It is what it is. I moved there in 1995 then moved far away in 2020 during the lockdown. My 1st apt was on the Lower East Side on Rivington St. Back then cabs did not go below Houston into this area because of the people lined up at buildings to buy drugs. The area had some cool lounges, a few tiny cool shops & I loved it! 4 years later in 99 the developers came in & started changing the area. Now, it’s filled with glass buildings, a Target, Equinox, etc… every neighborhood changes, look at DUMBO! Used to be all artist lofts & now there’s billion dollar lofts & parks! I miss the mid 90’s though cause I got to see a lot of the old & the beginning of the new. Today is the future…

Highway robbery! The landlord is asking that much cos they can, but it will likely sit empty for a long time.
