Doorman n elevator building hands down cuz I can’t do no steps

@MoniqueSinha 3 года назад

It’s worth having a doorman and elevator 100%. You don’t have to wait around for your package, you don’t have to drag heavy stuff climbing stairs. And as a female I feel safer having a doorman downstairs.

I've lived in two walk-ups in the (3 floors) EV and (4 floors phew, but a gorgeous place in the) WV for a year each respectively and now have lived in a doorman building for the past 4 years; here's my take: Doorman building is 9/10 commensurate with it being more expensive, so yes obviously the apartment will be a lot better, sleeker, more modern. Biggest perk: safeguarding packages, that added layer of security for guests, the in-building app/network to file maintenance requests, they can keep out your mail etc. and I'm lucky to have brilliant ones that I appreciate (and yes you have to tip all of them generously for Christmas, it's the least you can do for how convenient they make your life and how hard they work). Also not touched upon in this video which is super important in NYC: Food and grocery deliveries. Doormen make this much much easier (for both you and your deliveryman. Either my deliveryman in the WV had to walk up 4 floors or I had to run down and then walk up 4 floors, not fun). HOWEVER: I don't feel strongly about it at all, but the freedom to walk in and out of your walk-up building without people watching you/seeing you/striking up a conversation is something certain people value as a matter of privacy. Furthermore, it's very rare, but some people also just don't like their doorman/men for being rude or impersonal. This can be the case in those 300 unit rental buildings where the doormen are driven mad by how much is going on in a given day. As a compromise, there are some super expensive fantastic secure-virtual-doorman buildings that some friends of mine live in. It just depends what you prioritize.

@bonniepwtf 3 года назад

@hothotheat3000 3 года назад

@farzadosmani25 3 года назад

The second apartment is what I dream of moving into in New York damn 🤩

@spoly8139 3 года назад

I live in a luxury high rise (but old built 1963) doorman building. For me the security and concierge services are something I would not trade for a walk up. For people who get a lot of packages you can't beat the convenience. The doormen will buzz me when any package arrives and put it in the elevator for me so I don't even have to go to the lobby to pick it up! Christmas time we usually tip the staff about $40 each (staff of 9 including super) but it's worth it for the service they provide all year long. Rents have dropped drastically so I am upgrading to a 1 bedroom from a studio which will be the same rent I'm currently paying $2300 for UES location.

@pieter5466 3 года назад

That first apt seems like a really bad value proposition....

@mdel07304 3 года назад

The biggest advantage to me of having a doorman would be they guard your packages and can help you with moving things. I don't mind walkups, but having help is always nice

@MoniqueSinha 3 года назад

@Crow_1860 3 года назад

@Mczzin 3 года назад

@JoshhhhhhW 3 года назад

Doorman building wins out for sure. Lived in a walkup for years, now live in a doorman building. Biggest benefits are that it’s always clean, everything gets fixed in a really short amount of time, and there’s a building app that notifies you of package deliveries. The privacy argument is funny. This is a made up problem for the most part I think. Heat in walkup buildings absolutely sucks but there is a reason for this. Most walkup buildings were built during the late part of the 19th century or the early part of the 20th. People believed that you should constantly have fresh to avoid illness but still needed to keep warm, so you’re actually supposed to open your windows during winter. Also, Cash, you’re not really comparing apples to apples with these two apartments since they’re not in the same neighborhood.

@lunalee5843 3 года назад

I lived in a doorman bldg in Sutton Place. While I appreciate that the doormen paid attention and kept tabs on their residents, they knew a little too much and had no problem letting you know what they knew. Maybe it was the area for when I moved to another doormen apt on the UWS the doormen were way more chill. I’d still pick a doorman over a walk up !

One of my first apartments was a 5 story walk up on 37th street between 8th & 9th. It was on the 2nd floor, bathtub in the kitchen toilet down the hall. It had a tiny bedroom, big living room and big kitchen. This was in the 1980's. $285 per month. I was happy there.

@FionaEm 3 года назад

Here in Australia, very few apartment buildings have a doorman, but most have private laundry facilities. In all the years I've lived in apartments, I've only had to share a laundry once - with one other tenant. Can't imagine having to drag my laundry all around the place! Some of the newer multi-level buildings have elevators (or lifts, as we call them) but most of the older ones are only 3 floors so they're walk-ups. It can be a real pain dragging groceries up all those stairs 😅

@MattSezer 3 года назад

The issue is really the housing stock in the neighborhood where you want to live. Some neighborhoods are mostly walkups and some are mostly high rise doorman buildings. You can either choose your apartment based on the neighborhood where you want to live or you can choose your neighborhood based on the apartment you want to live in. There’s pros and cons to each.

@geoman9324 3 года назад

For the current quoted prices no brainer for convenience purposes. Would pay extra $400 a month for doorman building.

@Henry-vj9fo 3 года назад

I've stayed in both walk-up and doorman buildings during my visits. Living in Germany I am used to walk-up buildings so having a doorman felt like a huge luxury and gave my trip that extra NYC feeling. :) If I could afford it, I would definitely consider renting in a doorman building because I would feel a bit safer and it's just convenient.

@EmpressoftheLibrary 3 года назад

I'd definitely pick the building with the elevator with or without a doorman. I lived in a walk-up in my 20s. Getting myself up and down the stairs was no big deal but lugging groceries and laundry was always a hassle. So glad I moved to an elevator building a few years before my kid was born. I would NOT have been happy lugging a stroller up and down the stairs every day, constantly being terrified my hand would slip and the baby would tumble down the stairs! (That did happen a couple of times with the laundry cart so I know it's a possibility).

@ran196 3 года назад

OMG, I was so sure the doorman apartment would be at LEAST double what the first one was but imagine my surprise when it wasn't even $300 more. I say if you can swing it, cut out some of your dinning out and impulse shopping so you can pay the add'l $250/month for the doorman place. A nicer building with slightly better security, laundry on every floor, and ELEVATORS!!! You'd be crazy not to take it!

@steves1749 3 года назад

I live in what I would call a luxury building. Doormen, concierge, package room, gym pool, bright comfy laundry room. I love it. I think it’s totally secure. Not even a directory. So no one can walk in an go to knock on your door unless announced. To me it’s worth it. No walk up for me. Maybe if the apartment is great, no doorman.

When I lived in Park Slope it was a 4th floor (top floor) 2 BR in a brownstone. But it was worth it because I also had exclusive rights to the roof. Although I was friends with everyone so I let everyone use the roof. The access was in the hallway so no one had to go through my apartment. Everyone looked out for everyone. We'd even have cookouts on the roof with everyone. I miss those days.

@peterbooth6753 3 года назад

No way. After ten years in a doorman building in the beautiful West Village, I so much prefer living in a walkup in FiDi. The walkup building was gorgeous - but it was clear that the doormen were gossiping about the tenants all of the time. Living in a walkup I have freedom. Packages are a nightmare, very frustrating - but I have privacy. I am 56 years old and for me, its no contest - a walkup is far superior.

@supanyc 3 года назад

No way would I live in a walk-up above the 2nd floor. A doorman would be great but not necessary. Where I live is not a luxury building (Bushwick) but I feel very lucky to have elevators, a thermostat, in-unit washer/dryers, video intercoms and a partial view of the downtown Manhattan skyline. Edit: and a walk-in closet!

@RonaldStewart 2 года назад

Having lived in NYC for the last 9 years, I can say the studio in this video is a steal at $2400 in a building like that and such. Those lovely pandemic prices are gone though and hopefully whoever moved in is okay with that $1k rent raise at the end of their lease. That first apartment is just stereotypical overpriced new york; you really have to want that location. Even then, I'd probably suggest looking for a studio in that same area or a 1br a bit higher up.

Please, for that price, you could live in a fab apt in Dallas, ATL or Houston (1,000 sq ft - no bars on the windows) for 950 a month! with grass & trees, plus beautiful skylines, (rat free)!

@waza987 3 года назад

In Australia buildings over 3 living floors (not including underground garage) must have an elevator.

@ljaygould 3 года назад

The title, and the video, both ignore the fact that most elevator buildings in NYC are NOT doorman buildings nor are they luxurious beyond having the elevator as an important amenity. In the 1970s (when I was in my 20s) I lived in two walkups in Manhattan. Even though one was on the 2nd floor (the other on the 4th) I resolved never again. I now own a 3-family in the Bronx (and live on the ground floor) but prior have lived in five different elevator buildings on the 6th or 7th floor both in Manhattan and the Bronx. I've never actually lived in a doorman building or one I would consider "luxury". In my experience, most non-doorman elevator buildings do have at least the amenity of a laundry room, usually in the basement. The rents in these buildings tend to be slightly more than in the walk-ups but substantially less than a doorman building, particularly one with porters, concierges, and other staff that set apart the luxury buildings, many of which are condos and co-ops (where, if not actually buying a unit, you'll pay rent not to the building but to the individual owner of the apartment). Generally, the non-luxury elevator buildings do not feature amenities such as gyms, community rooms, on-floor (or in-unit) laundry...or dishwashers in the units; the trade-off is significantly less rent (and a greater likelihood of the apartment being rent-stabilized, a very important asset if you are looking to stay there long-term).

@izzy1563 3 года назад

Generally doorman/concierge buildings aren’t wrapped outside in concertina wire like apt 1. Women at most income levels like having someone at the door 24/7. The buildings rarely have issues with break ins unless someone sublets or rents out illegally on Airbnb. The person at the door can keep a watch on illegal Airbnb rentals. They also handle dry cleaning, deliveries, announcing visitors, grabbing take out and making sure the lobby and bathroom areas are clean because they use them. People who get brownstones often miss the front person which is why so many have gates now. The 2nd apt was huge and had nice windows. Not sure they had central ac so you might lose a while window every summer. It will also go up in price considerably once things reopen so could be depressing for someone who has to downgrade once they are happy with a unit. Probably one reason why people end up moving back to hometowns. I know quite a few people who moved to Austen Texas but we’re back within a few years and depressed that they were basically starting over. Rent an apartment where a 15% increase won’t send you looking somewhere you don’t want to be or work 24/7 to afford increases or an upgrade.

@scoutandscooter 3 года назад

We live in a full-service co-op with only 80 apartments. Our staff could easily handle 125 apartments, so maintenance is a bit high. Also, since we're on the second floor we rarely take the elevator. In a co-op neighbors will never talk about how they tip, but $100-$200 is normal for our type of building. We don't use our truck much, so parking attendants (garage not in our building) get $20. Upside, doorman always has a spare key. Downside, tough to sneak in my mistresses.

@hejiranyc 3 года назад

I've lived in 6 different doorman buildings in Manhattan, mostly in the West/Greenwich Village areas (not as common as they are uptown). My quality of life is immeasurably better in a doorman building. Not only do I feel 100% secure (I pretty much never lock my door unless I'm leaving town), I can order food or things online without a second thought, even while traveling. And if I have an issue, there is always someone there to help. And then there is the convenience of an elevator and laundry too. And during the BLM riots this past summer, they installed additional cameras and security protocols in the lobby. Another thing to consider is whether to rent in a conventional rental building or whether to rent in a condo or co-op building. Very different experiences.

Doorman hands down!!! If you allow me an off topic question, and I guess you get a lot of this one lately. Traveling there from Spain is waaaaay cheaper now but, would be worth it by late June?? It’s my third visit so main attractions are not a priority... but also we need at least restaurants to be open and the city not so empty that feels creepy or unsafe... Huge fan of your Channel keep up the great work!! Cheers

NYC offers a third option: elevator buildings without doorman services. I live in such a building up in Riverdale and the Amazon peeps bring packages right to my apartment door.

@abalahalamatandra 3 года назад

My very first apartment here in NYC many years ago was a luxury doorman building in the Bronx. Huge 2 br apartment on the 10th floor for $1,500/month ... 24hr doorman service, 2 elevators, HUGE laundry room in the basement (10 washers, 8 dryers), carpeted hallways ... but no climate control unfortunately. I was so spoiled. But the best part that I still miss to this day was package security. I could order anything I wanted online and not have to worry about being home to receive the shipment. Also, the doorman would watch the car for me while I illegally parked in front of the building to unload groceries after returning from a Costco run! He'd help me with the bags, too. Now I live in a walk-up building, but thankfully live on the 2nd floor. I pay $1,460 a month for a much smaller apartment, and of course no doorman. I do indeed like the privacy, though. At my old building, the doormen actually did get far too interested in whomever I brought home. But still ... if I could afford it, I would go back to a luxury doorman building in a heartbeat!

John and Cash. I would prefer to live in a building with an elevator. Doornan or not. I work in a building in Park Slope that has a Doorperson. I live in a building in Sheepshead Bay that has a security guard 4 pm-12 am . I also live in Brooklyn and I feel comfortable in Brooklyn. I was born in Brooklyn. My heart is in Brooklyn. Except for the weather.

The NYC rental market is not just walk-ups vs doorman/luxury. There’s a whole lot of other options/types in between.

@georgiasmith7615 3 года назад

Yes, I live in a building with an elevator but no doorman which is ideal. Convenient for bringing groceries in, but no one watching your comings and going’s.

@redstreet8012 3 года назад

Isn't the doorman suppose to ask, Who are you here to visit? Maybe he knew Cash from previously showing apartments.

@mircat28 3 года назад

I think you can't make a standardized answer regarding doorman or not. It depends on quality of apts, prices and doorman. In this instance without a doubt the right choice is doorman bldg. The square footage and price are the grabbers. That walk in closet earned a gold star. Grab that 2nd apt and hang on for dear life! The major no go for me in apt 1 were those quasi prison windows! What the heck is out there that wants to get in!? Also, those wires are exactly what I've seen in photos of India making fun of what looks like electrocution alley. The fire hazard potential would make me terrified and insurance would jack my monthly rent up closer to apt 2. So no question DOORMAN BLDG!

I really like the first one even tho it's a walk-up (second fl.- lived in a walk-up 4th floor. never again) & it's a one bedroom. I 😍 the second one, very spacious studio which I prefer & the elevator, & wit the doorman I feel safer.

@MusicWordMusic 3 года назад

I have a big $1900 studio that I partitioned to have a bedroom at the Seaport, and I've lived in walk-ups until I moved here 4 months ago. I've never had to walk up or down more than a half-floor by intention, because I don't need that much more leg exercise, but I am spending more and living downtown for the subway and ferry convenience, the doormen (I was frequently getting packages stolen before), the elevators (high enough to hear much less street noise), the full kitchen (instead of the tiny shoebox versions I'd had before) with counter space and dishwasher (no more bending over and drying out my hands), and heating and cooling I can control a bit more than having to crack the window or run multiple space heaters somehow on a limited electrical system.

@TheCannonball79 3 года назад

The big difference for me is the size of the staff in the building. When the Holidays roll around you have to tip at least 5 Doormen, the super and probably a couple of porters, it can get very pricey really fast. And for love of god don’t tip some more than the others they tend to talk among themselves and you will sooner or later start picking up some bad vibes. In a walk up you have to take care of the super and maybe a porter. Definitely less pressure on your budget during a stressful time of the year.

@abalahalamatandra 3 года назад

I so agree with this! I loved living in a luxury building. But around the holidays it stung quite a bit. Tip 4 doormen $60 each. Tip the two handymen $40 each. And tip the Super $80. A bit steep, but these guys were awesome and made living in that building a dream year-round.

@nysoleil 3 года назад

I put $10-20 by side each month so when the holidays came 'the pinch' as you say, doesn't hurt as bad...

@abalahalamatandra 3 года назад

@@nysoleil Ahh... now that is a very smart practice. I wish I had thought to do something similar. Or had the discipline to remember to do it, too! 😆

@nysoleil 3 года назад

@@abalahalamatandra Trick is to combine it with something you already do routinely. Ex. when you pay your rent every month or pay your bills, add that to the list, put it in an envelope and it just naturally becomes part of the list and routine.😁

@JESSICA90484 3 года назад

The walk up can mean double the square footage but no laundry in sight and (RATS). I would never live in EV. I now can afford a doorman building bc I have no social life and work 24/7 but it’s totally worth it cause nobody steals my mail or packages. Live 15-20 minutes further. It’s okay. Move to Brooklyn or Forest Hills in a doorman building. It’s cheap-er and spacious. Even better that everything is $500-$1k cheaper bc of pandemic pricing. Walk ups with no wall mounted units with gas heating tend to overheat and it’s controlled by your management and locked up. One neighbor complains it’s too hot, then it’s too cold. One neighbor complains that it’s too cold, it becomes too hot. I still kinda wish I just moved to the UES instead of off Morgan L in one of the utopias. I could have gotten 2 bedrooms for the same price, just pre-war. I kinda have regrets cause the area outside is not my forte. When I lived in a updated walk up in Bed-Stuy, mice were a huge issue. It was a living nightmare.
