Living in a Basic Box-Apartment… With NYC’s Best View 

Sometimes I feel like cash is trolling us when he shows us these tiny apartments 😂

Seriously? 7500 for a tiny microscopic kitchen and bathroom, no view and windowless living room? That apartment is a bad joke with a hurtful punchline.

Good luck this week everyone

That shivering snowman was the highlight of today’s show. The apartments were too quirky for me.

I was feeling really depressed today up until I woke up with another Cash Jordan video

Didn't have a fav apt today... but that vibrating shivering snowman in front of a random shop in March, love how Cash points these things out haha

The first apartment gives me Silence of the Lambs vibes except Hannibal Lectors cell was bigger.

Alex makes every apt nicer, just by being there...............

I love all of your comments and the way you critique each apartment. Very entertaining thanks Cash😅

I love watching these. They're pretty comparable to the apartments in Sydney Australia price wise too. Only difference is most of the expensive apartments are close to or have water views...that's really what you're paying for. On the rooftop you build your furniture on it. Just get the boxes up there.

To me - the opening audio was the hook that drew me in. Loved the three act - three apartment presentation. Keep going! Your work is amazing. Love your combined energy.👏👏👏👏👏

No. No. And, no! The first unit at $7500/month (where it seemed as if everything was custom made) was just too compact. The designer met the assignment, though. You might not be able to move around comfortably but you'll have everything you need. The second unit at $5500/month (on the fourth floor) is almost just as compact. Those were closets? If you place just 2-3 winter coats in any one of them, you will have used up all your closet space. The third unit at $5500/month... Now, who will really make use of that hatch contraption and that ladder? How do you get yourself and anything up and down on that deck without risking injury? All the "kitchens" rather "snack areas" seemed as if they were nothing more than an afterthought after renovation. While all 3 units "looked" nice, real-life livability would be a whole other issue.

Hi Cash and your friends I like how you show us all the unique tiny box apartments on your vlogs with such enthusiasm and being friendly and I always need a sink sprayer and the washer and dryer. I prefer to purchase then rent a condo or apt. Stay well and safe 👍😀

I love Cash but I wish he was a bit gentler with the things in the apartments. A little less slamming would be nice.

I think they could easily rent that first apt if Alex came with it. Lmao 😄

Living in ny is like living in an ant pile. 🤣

To me, a living room isn't a living room without a window.

I miss the days Cash went to an apartment by himself, checked for sink sprayers and got locked out on roofs. 😒

The tub type spout is for when you turn on the water for the shower it is a to put your foot under it to test the water temp before turning on the shower head and getting blasted with too cold or too hot water..It used to be used often in higher end homes.

_"if you want to save money and live in Manhattan this might be where to go"_ as a non-NYer I always thought UES was one of the most expensive hoods in Manhattan, equivalent to Bel Air or something

That snowman was certainly getting his jollies! Too funny. 😜 Odd apartments, but it seems that Alex always has odd apartments to show. I'd like to know when beverage coolers became a "must have" in apartments. I'd rather have a small cupboard to store muffin tins and baking trays instead of a cooler; doesn't the fridge do the same thing? I still like being a voyeur because I feel less critical about my small one bedroom. I now know that it's really not small, I've just collected too many big pieces of furniture since I moved here 7 years ago. Cash, I'd like to know if you found out who was doing their wash; that was odd. 🤔

Good morning Cash have a great day The first apartment change the lock when you move in,The apartments are nice.

For those with issues about price and sizes, don't go to Hong Kong or Tokyo to live. It's not common for people to even come and visit due to apartment sizes. That's why they have so many restaurants and open markets as that's where people go to hang out. Some of these places in Hong Kong would have multiple "cage apartments" inside them, and by cage, they mean large dog crates. But as real estate agents say, location location location and that is key to these prices. It's also normal to have multiple tenants in most of these places. Cash shows us as that's how people do it till they realize it's cheaper to live in another Boro or leave NYC because they failed at their dreams.

The first apartment with 5 rooms and 2 dens downstairs was interesting. I didn't get whether there is only one half bath downstairs, that would be a minus. Space wise it was nice. And yes, all fridge doors opened the right way today.

Hello Cash and everyone watching 😊these landlords are greedy it definitely wasn't that way when I lived there but I'm a Jersey girl, I do miss the city that never sleeps sometimes ❤

I just looked up the restaurants you showed in the neighborhood. That Sefton one @11:05 looks pretty dope, their eggs Benedict and cocktails look pretty tasty

These are guaranteed for HEAVY depression...😆

Welcome to the non PC section of the commenters. Good night! People say living in new York is like living in an ant pile. You can be anything you want, they said. You'll have fun, they said. Okay I'm identifying as a thirty two year old again. Is that wrong? No more D & D for me. I prefer real water. (If I want role playing, I'll go to Hollywood and be the joker.) I played chess for free in Washington Square in the 60s Sweetness and light wasn't just the coffee. I liked that last crib. Now I need a Murphy bed. Not Murphy's law. Thank you Mr Jordan. Your humor and music keeps me coming back for more!

You could have three roomies in the first place - everyone would have their own den/office/living space as well as a bedroom.

Awesome job Jordan see you tomorrow

Very eclectic apartment. Fun to watch!

Happy Monday Cash ❤

Alex looks great. I like that haircut

"A weird neighbor who likes to feed birds." That would be me. lol And I'm not weird, maybe a little eccentric and unique but definitely not weird:-) What baffles me is why people would want to share a place with 5 roommates? Wouldn't it make more sense to find a smaller place for less money than have to deal with the drama and idiosyncrasies of five different people? It's like who gets to decide how to decorate the living room? What if you are neat and the others are messy. The refrigerator would be a nightmare! Five different people stuffing it and trying to share? I don't care how great they get along it would turn into chaos or so it would seem, compounded by visitors, friends, and friends of friends. I need a vacation just thinking about it. lol

Best view? Looks like an urban jungle to me!

I hate those teeny tiny kitchen sinks that won't even fit a plate.

Apartment 1: I could finally unpack my boxed-up books and use that extra-long shelf in the hallway for an extra-long book shelf.

I am pretty sure there are ghosts in that first apartment.:-)

This is Gonna b so Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Monday😀….

Hard sell books when your child has an "iPhone ". Meanwhile my child didn't get an iPhone until age of 16. Books were his source of knowledge and entertainment 😂

Always cool to see these random places...I know its pricey because...NY ..but these flats are terrible haha. And so wierd to see appliances in the bathroom instead of the kitchen or a specific utility room. Odd... (stacked?...lol)

A personal pet peeve, eating my meal and all of a sudden I have a ladder in my FOOD!

Is Cash a cat? He likes to go up high places and wants to climb out of windows

I like the first better. Rent is fine for both.

Apartment one has several small, odd rooms, and it has laundry and outdoor space, so maybe five people could share the place to make it affordable. But I won't be one of them. The second apartment is four floors up, and one of the bedrooms is a sectioned off part of the otherwise windowless living room. The vampire bedroom may or may not have a legal egress window. The last one also has a windowless living space and a very questionable access to the roof deck. It's about a fifth-floor walkup but it does have laundry. I suppose any of these is a prospect for people who can deal with sharing living, kitchen and bathroom spaces.

Your thumbnails r gorgeous 😍

I sip my coffee while 🐿️ hustle me for treats. Then I get on my scooter to the store for some groceries.

love how it seems recently, a beverage cooler is mandatory in apartments.

I love how cash assumes everybody speaking requires subtitles except himself.

Toilet one is #1 only 👀

You're using the DC Foot Doctor's Music.. 😆😁

The kitchen looks so nice.

I used to go to school in NYC I'm in Oklahoma but I miss being in that area.😭😥.

1:25 Made me burst out laughing

Cash, what's up with the chipmunks jams ? ... I like it.

Bruh I would get stuck in between the toilet and shower every-time I sat down in that first place lmao

More boxes lol

You are hilarious 😂 😂 😂

Is it me? Or have we seen this building in 10 videos now.

Finally i get new videos😊

@2:00 that deli rlly looks like one of the eating establishments that got blown up in The Defenders series. Can't remember if it was Daredevil or Luke Cage... I know I know. Luke Cage took place in Harlem and Daredevil was in Hell's Kitchen :P The place just has the same kinda look. There are probably 40 or so similar delis in NYC. I just thought it was cute. I'd eat there :)

Cash sure gets his steps in... 😁

I’d be so unhappy to live in NYC. I don’t want roommates and nothing there is in my budget. I own my home and my mortgage is a comfortable 1600/month. 4 beds 3 baths on almost an acre. Clean air. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I see the stars at night. The sky is unobstructed. Outdoor lighting is sparse here. Lovely Pond water view. I just do not understand why humans would be willing to live in that city and pay those prices to live like a sardine in a can. Fine to visit NYC… but never would I ever live there.

Shiny city

Yeah cause breathing and exhaust from cars all day and all night into your apartment is pretty cool.

Believe it or not I saw a pair of gardening gloves with claws so you don’t need tools to dig in your garden

Thank you for the H2O pressure

Why do 75% of NYC apartments have beverage coolers??? With those tiny kitchens, I could use another cabinet more than that cooler.

I thought you had an apt on the stainway tower or central park tower!!

v-e-r-y- w-e-i-r-d first apartment......I wouldn't even bother with the roof on that third apartment

I feel like Cash show us this apartment before.

Liked the second one ,did have some different options

First off, I don't care what anybody says: there's no other City on this planet like New York City. It's the first of his kind and the only one of its kind! Now, there are people who would live in a matchbox, if they could in order to live in New York City. 🤣 Is that real! I lived in New York City all my life... Born and raised here since the 70's. I was part of the hip-hop culture from it's inception in the Bronx and Harlem. And I've hob-nobbed with punk rockers in the East village....and some celebrities throughout. I've been around many many native New Yorkers and non-native alike. Usually, from my observation, when non-native New Yorkers move here, it's usually for financial success, a particular college / University in New York they love, or they want to get away from a rural /country lifestyle. (By the way, we do have country living in Greater "upstate" New York, not connected with the 5 boros) So if you're a driven person or if you want to live a more colorful, social lifestyle, you'll deal with an apartment that's very tiny. I have friends who own and rent some. So, If you're in NYC neighborhood that is super cool; (and there are many of them throughout all the boros), has a lot of nice restaurants and bars and has easy access to stores, landmarks and events you really like, and you can afford it, then it's worth it for you! 😊 Most native New Yorkers don't visit landmarks, we're part of the culture, so we don't bother with those things much, but they are fun to do from time to time. But I live upstate away from all of that now, but tiny apartments for a new comer, trying to get their feet wet in the Big Apple, it can be lots of fun for you! 😊😊

One thing I don’t like about those exposed brick walls.. (as cool as they look), you could also call it a camouflaged SPIDER wall… just a creepy crawly thought.. lol!

X-box job, Amazon-box delivery & Basic-box apt. NYC norm

So many of these Apts have the same gray tile in the barhrooms.. (I need to get a life.).

Weird, dark and expensive place. Definitely has the tiniest kitchen sink I've ever seen! Next ....

Yeeeeeaaah I don’t think so.

Sometimes I think Tom Holland's Spider-Man got his apartment in the ending scenes of No Way Home by watching Cash Jordan's videos.

Solid SLAM on Dunkin’!😆😆😆😆😆😆👏👏👏🍺🍺🍺!

I could rent a mansion in Georgia for this much. Nyc is crazy. Im terrified of fire, so with all those neighbours, this would drive me to drink.

That first place is like wth?! That kitchen is ridiculous, bathroom so small it’s just ridiculously priced and there’s so many more better options in NYC for that price and area, next please Cash?!

There’s a sucker for every seat

this about normal in the UK and will cost you about £550 a month in rent

As always, the tiny balcony is the "grandma stepping outside for a smoke" balcony....

Japanese soaking tub for the shower spout.

Those commenting on price just remember the owner of the building has to pay for the building so the rent has to cover their monthly charges

hello, hello

Apartment 1, lower level, is a dug out cave. For 7500. 😮‍💨 NYC is wild.

Dungeon type apartment with no windows and nothing else.

Unfortunately this apartment rented the same day Cash’s video came out Tuesday, March 7th!

The upper east side is not upper Manhattan.

💜

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

whats with all the gas stoves in NY I don't want to change all my pots and pans for gas I like the electric stoves myself

🥘 🚆 🚋 🪟📺 🚽 🛌 It’s got everything!

That 1st apartment with 5 maybe kinda sorta bedrooms & a ghost who does laundry? The kitchen was way too small for 5 roommates. Although the rock walls in the basement were interesting those rooms have no doors for privacy & the outdoor area wasn't worth it. The 2nd has a neighbor who feeds the pigeons on the fire escape is a health issue. The 3rd with that roof hatch & ladder no way. I'd never use it. I'll pass on all

I refuse to rent any apt that has those same stupid gray tiles in the bathrooms...lol. And why, when the kitchens are the size of a postage stamp, do they feel compelled to fit in a beverage cooler? The space could be better utilized. These units were ok, nothing that exciting.

Well #1, everything about it is too small. #2 has a windowless 'room'! #3 is the best.

Reading room.
