I toured 15 NYC apartments in 72 hours so you don't have to experience this pain. 

Senny was, in fact, spitting facts.

I’m literally obsessed with this mother-daughter relationship!

The fact that these are the options available for the price of $6000 USD/month solidifies my point that NYC is not worth living in.

I can't believe how messy some of those apartments were, you'd think they would tidy them up a bit before showing them LOL This was such an entertaining video, loved it!

The price shocked me ngl but thanks for being transparent about the prices Kaiti its all very interesting to watch!

Can we talk about how iconic Senny is? She was indeed spitting facts

As a native New Yorker, I would never live in the city unless I received affordable housing units. Small, old apartments, parking is a nightmare. With 6k as my budget, I would live in any luxurary apartments in LIC or hip part of Brooklyn. Within 30 minutes to Manhattan, but rent is so much cheaper and apartments are a lot nicer.

Jesus Christ $6000 a month for a basic apartment is insane. I’ll be wishing for sponsorships in your future.

6k is an absolute insane amount to spend on rent, especially if you’re not splitting it with a roommate😵‍💫 I’m glad you’re able to afford that but God that’s so bleak

$6,000 is insane! I can't believe how expensive most Manhattan apartments are. For people potentially wanting to move to NYC, there are definitely some very nice apartments within safe neighborhoods, without roommates, for more affordable prices.

mrs yoo is an icon. and the dedication to filming a vlog during 72 hr apt hunting, and then editing it with the subway theme. also icon

I love that you kept that NYC subway look throughout all the editing in this 😍 we love a theme!

I could not imagine spending 6000 on rent. I'm a teacher in Germany, we are on the middle-higher spectrum of wages at about 3-5k before taxes (about 2,1-3,5k after taxes). My rent is pretty high at 900per month. I don't know how people are able to spend that much. NY is a money processing machine.

your mom is so pretty the whole video is literally a treat… im fangirling so hard for senny omg

i remember going apartment hunting (3BR, $6000 budget) in nyc and things were just so insane; units went on and off the market almost instantly, units listed for different prices by different realtors, people were handing in applications at the open house, 6-floor walk-ups, absurdly designed rooms or hallways. there was one unit where the floor was tilted and they had to assure us that our furniture wouldnt just slide down the incline

damn girl you went through the HOOPS finding your apartment! those prices are terrifying. i'm so glad you finally got a place!! big big milestone!

In New York there is a rule that you have to make 40X what the monthly rent is to qualify so $6,000 a month X 40 = $240,000. The median income in NYC is $60,000 a year. I would imagine the percent of New Yorkers making $240,000 is 1-2%. This mother/daughter team is eating out, taking Ubers, etc. so they must have ALOT of money. I live in Rego Park Queens, nice neighborhood, quiet, safe, convenient to stores, mass transit, schools, medical, etc. in a full two bedroom apt. on the 14th floor, good view, corner apt., 2 elevators, security that acts as a doorman, laundry room on the main floor, buildings have a gym and the buildings are co-ops but since I have been living here since 1975, I still rent as most of the longer living tenants here. My apt. Is rent stabilized and I pay $628.56 a month, gas and electric included and repairs, if needed, are also included. Management treats the tenants and shareholders the same, very well. I will never give this apt. up. The rents in this video are INSANE! It only takes me about 30 minutes to get to Manhattan.

I'm baaaack and I have a question for you - which apartment would YOU pick?

Tbh, I don't even think a NYC apartments being expensive is in itself a problem, but the fact that you receive something that is barely okay/good for so much money is crazy 😧

I'm so excited for this new chapter of your life!! It is crazy watching this video since I am a senior in highschool applying to colleges and stuff right now and you are kinda on the other side of all that. I wish you the best of luck in New York :)

Wow ok 😂 so I love Kaiti but I gotta say that this is an extremely atypical experience she’s had here. When I moved to NYC I wasn’t even hoping to get in-house laundry or modern renovations and I was totally prepared to be sharing the space with roommates and to not have the best lighting or live in the best part of town. And even with all that, I felt extremely lucky and blessed to be living in the city at all. Obviously Kaiti’s circumstances are different since she’s an influencer and actually needs to have a beautiful space for shooting - I’m not trying to shame anybody here. But I think it’s encouraging to know that if you’re willing to no make some more compromises you can live in NYC for a lot less and still very much enjoy your life here! Also, it can sometimes take months to find an apartment here so it’s hard not to be discouraged but if you really want to move here, stick it out and pray for the best :)

Your mom is so beautiful! Y’all went through a jam packed few days I really appreciate you vlogging the process!!

Missed you on here, Kaiti. Loving this vlog already🥰 Congratulations in advance for finding your dream apartment ❤️

Let's goooo, she's coming back with a banger

me, a European, who has been living in the 5th floor of different houses for their entire 30 years of life: :| (watching Kaiti rejecting a "gorgeous" apartment for that) How? Why? As if light doses of cardio isn't good for you! It's not that bad. No, you don't get used to it but come on!

10:56 I actually live near a cemetery and it’s not bad actually. Definitely quiet which I consider a selling point.

Omg I make just over half of that total per month! Can’t imagine paying $6000 for an average apartment. Mine is $1250 and it’s a decent place. Guess that’s the difference between living in New York and living in Canada. Love seeing you and your mom hanging out, you two seem close :) Reminds me of me and my mom.

I love the relationship you have with your mom so adorable keep up the good work Kaiti!

I know I’ll never be able to afford nyc but watching these apartment tours are so interesting to see!!!

The editing of this was so next level! 💕

kaiti....$6k rent a month is CRAZY BUT IT IS THE OUTCOME OF UR CONSTANT GRINDDD AND PASSION!!!! HAVE FUN IN NYC KAITI AHHHH, CANNOT WAIT FOR UR CITY GIRL CONTENT

Can never afford to live in NYC but always love to watch these NYC apartment hunting videos! Good luck to your new chapter in the BiG AppLE, Kaiti! 😍

Obsessed with your relationship with your mum, so cute!🥰

Only thing is if you have a ton of money, you'll likely want to buy a luxury apartment/townhouse, and then the price point will be more than you are budgeted for. So, you'll need even more money to get what you want to buy -- and you'll probably never have enough money. And if, somehow, you do, then you'll likely be working all the time and won't be able to enjoy your home, and...and...and. Here’s a thought. Get two units: buy an affordable luxury unit in Greenwich, CT (for half the price), and then take the train into the City. Rent a tiny, safe, comfortable unit in NYC (with the other half), if you want to stay there overnight a couple of times a week. You'll likely do better with your taxes 'cause you’ll own one of the units (check with your professional tax preparer).

So great to watch one of your videos again! You’ve become one of my favorite youtubers, your charismatic personality really brings a smile to my face :) I’d love to live in nyc some day, so good luck!

6K at NYC 40 times the rent is a hopping 240K+ salary!

this is the first video i’ve seen from your channel and i just wanna say: your mom is a gem

i am loving you and your mom's vibe omg. this is the first video of you that i am watching and i am LOVING it.

Living in NYC is indeed living the dream but people underestimate the fact that they can get way better value NOT too far from Manhattan next to the Metro North stations along the Hudson or Harlem lines. I pay 3.6k/mth for a 1200sqf two bedroom apartment in an area that is just 35 min Metro North train ride away from Grand Central terminal. Also, with extra $180/mth I get a self-park garage for my car - which you won't get in Manhattan.

"Welcome to New York. It's been waiting for you." Golden T-Swift reference XD

And the QUEEN is back!! 🔥🔥 Living for KTU in NYC 😍

I need to understand how folks are affording $6K per month (after NYC taxes). I would be a super Bridge and Tunnel chic after looking at the places in the city.

the cinematic experience was just TOO GOOD, so i had to watch ur video on my tv! i luv the content as always! & im excited 4 you! 🍎🌃

petition for Kaiti to always bring Senny to all her upcoming vlogs because them together are a bright ray of sunshine

This was so engaging. ❤️❤️I love how with each vlog, you have a unique theme and the storytelling techniques….definitely didn’t miss those. 😩(foreshadowing, climax…you name it, she does it!)

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! Thank you for sharing your very honest thoughts on the apartments!! You and your mom are superwomen!! So excited for all these new things coming up for you, Kaiti!! Best of luck 💕💕💕

Love this start of the NYC contents, the subway signs are on poibt. The struggle of apartment hunting is so real. I did this 4 rounds within 8 years of living here already. Hopefully I'll run into you on the street.

senny is adorable, and her english is awesome! Wholesome and sassy video as always

This is insane. Even if you have enough money to pay THIS much rent every month why would you want to do that. To think how much it eventually adds up and what million other cool ass things you could do with that amount.. I get that some think since its NYC its worth it, but cmon the apartments arent even perfect. If you didnt live in a 6000 dollar apartment you'd save 72k a year (ofc you'd still have to pay rent somewhere but still), to think how much one could travel for that. Wild

This is just a terrible year to rent. In the last 2 years you could've had a TON more choices at $2,500 - $4,000 range. $6,000 would've gotten you a whole townhouse.

I went to NYC back in spring and omg I miss it 🥺but it's cool seeing you in the same places I went.

I love this new style! It’s great to have the queen finally back😌

Just few days ago, I badly want to mention Kaiti here in my community tab to say I miss her so much, but here is she now back at it again!! 😭 I miss you and your vlogs Kaiti!!! ❤️

Senny spitting facts is my favorite part, I'm excited for this new Kaiti chapter and the CONTENT we will get!!👑❤😎🙌🏻

crazy that 6k was the budget, must be nice to be rich.. even crazier that that was still not enough for your requirements

6k per month…. I need a min to process that

This was fun to watch haha, I'm lucky I have family in NY so I can always visit and I don't have to stay here forever X'D

Congrats on finding an apartment 🥳 It's great to have you back with another video

Welcome back, Kaiti! I've missed your videos! Good luck with the new life in NYC!

AAAHHH WELCOME BACK QUEEN!! fun fact in my dream last night you posted a video named 'how to talk someone into throwing a party' Don't ask why. I don't know either.

Excuse me whattttt?! $6000?!!!! Not my poor ass clenching my wallet when i pay $2000 for rent 🤣🤣🤣

We need your mom’s skincare routine omg

EEEEE! I am so excited for an apartment tour! So happy for you, thank you for taking us with

ugh I love apartment hunting videos so thanks Kaiti!!

this editing is so insanely fire Kaiti you've outdone yourself.

ooo congrats Kaiti on getting an apartment in the big NYC I know that couldn't have been easy, this is amazing ❤‍🔥

Honestly living for this mother-daughter dynamic

I’m so excited for you! I can’t wait to see the amazing content you will make in nyc!!!!!

Wish you the best in New York! Your videos are so inspiring and entertaining, I hope you continue doing amazing things :)

I had fun watching this I can’t believe how expensive nyc apartments..(My dream is to live there some day)😫😫 Thanks for showing us this because I needed it See you soon Kaiti🌹💗

I kept checking if Kaiti already posted a vlog because it has been a month, but this was worth the wait because the overall edit was just clean and the coolest ever! Zambombolonini!

Lol! This is so funny but entertaining at the same time😂❤️

Why NYC? It sucks right now, but that doesn't matter. Your mom and you are so cute together!

Omg 😍 We were just discussing NY last night .. and this video answered sooo many questions and was super helpful! Thank you & Aloha 🤙🏾 from Hawai’i 🧘🏽‍♀️🪴🌿

It seemed odd that you weren't being shown suitable options with a high budget so, I did a quick search on StreetEasy. I found quite a few beautiful places throughout Manhattan within your budget with, what I'm assuming, where the "bells and whistles" you wanted: 2BR, doorman, elevator, dishwasher, in-unit washer/dryer.(I kept my search below 96th street on both sides of the island). I'm concerned you were not shown good places by realtors. Even if you wanted to limit your search to downtown, there are better places in the East Village, Murray Hill, Kips Bay, Hells Kitchen etc for less than your budget.

this video reminds me so much of my mom and I's relationship and i absolutely love it. this is so cute i need morE KAITI

lol at 8:49 when I saw the apartment I said to myself "oh that's pretty" 2 seconds later Kaiti says "I already know what your thinking (THIS IS SO PRETTY)

i love the editing

Kaiti as a person is NYC as a person. Chaotic and beautiful. So excited 4 your new journey

Senny is amazing. Please have her in more videos from now on!

I personally wouldn't want to live in New York but if I did end up moving there I would definitely NOT live in lower Manhattan, wayyyy to overpriced that it makes San Francisco look cheap

I have to be honest, Senny was stunning! Whenever she was on camera, nothing else mattered 🤣🤣🤣. As far as apartment is concerned, Jersey City is just as convenient to get to NYC than some neighborhoods in NYC. $3800 a month is getting me 1200sq ft, movie theater, bowling alley, rooftop pool, gyms, arcades, shuttle to train. I do not miss living in NYC…and I was born and raised there.

love how this is edited. it's so funny haha! your mom is a vibe

I would never pay 6000 for rent. We live outside of Dc in northern Virginia and 2200 is our max rent for 3.

we stan kaiti yoo's mom 🫡 . missed your KAY-otic content miss KAITI!!

This is the best news ever I am so happy one of my favorite Asian RU-vidrs is moving here!!!

Omg I just graduated and am moving to the UES end of sept 🥰🥰 this video def summed up the past month of my apartment hunting in this housing market

Good to see you're back and I can't wait for this!

What a cliffhanger, i want a tour!

I'm 27 years old and have never even seen the number 5,000 in my bank account in my life...my rent is $565/month in Washington DC, and I live with 4 other roommates....if I ever moved to NYC I will be on FBI's Most Wanted because I 100% robbed a bank.

Senny was, in fact, spitting facts

WHO has 6 THOUSAND dollars to spent on rent EVERY month ????? and why

omg, your mom is so pretty! what a stunnerrrrr
