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

75k a year purely on rent. Absolutely insane

I've never been to the east coast of the country. I was born and raised on a farm in the Midwest, and I currently own ten acres in the rural southwest with a 4-wheel drive & nothing but open space around me. I find this channel fascinating, because I can't even begin to identify with the life I see. I would go absolutely stir crazy living in a huge city and a tiny space. I don't really like people as a general rule. LOL Being constantly surrounded by them would drive me to the nearest psychiatrist. 😬 It's amazing how different our lives can be, and we find happiness in so many different ways. I get to see another world watching this channel. I'd post my world, but it would bore everyone to tears. Very quiet with just the dogs barking or the chickens clucking and the occasional coyote yips. Thanks for the videos!

I can't imagine a more problematic layout for that first apartment with the fireplace directly across from a doorway, thus no room for a couch for that big screen TV. Again, somehow, they made an apartment with no actual living room. And $5000 a month. Even if you managed to put two people in there, it's $2500 every 30 days to live there. Insane.

There was a famous scene in a movie with the quote ''You had me at hello''. What I can confirm is ''you lost me with 4900 bucks per month''.

You couldn't pay me enough to want to live in that ocean of humanity.

$6,250 is nuts… imagine making high 6 figures and needing roommates but also struggling with roommates lol

I’m totally confused by the description of these as “tiny-box” apartments. They seem quite large! Maybe I’m too used to the micro-sized apartments in parts of Europe and Japan.

I can't even begin to imagine living in a place like that . I live in rural n.e. Alabama on 55 acres...I rarely see anybody out here. Downside is , next to no shopping, no Uber, no buses, no nothing ....no delivery of anything...many people out here don't even have internet access ....but it's quiet and peaceful and the only other issues are the occasional coyotes and bigfoot!

$4900 for that first dump, my god. Ugliest floor plan possible, clearly built when the only form of entertainment was sitting down and talking to each other. For $4900. I hate NYC because of the prices and feel bad for anyone stuck there. But anyone willing to pay that, rather than move out of the city, deserves to be charged this much.

This used to be the Hotel McAlpin until it was turned into rental apartments in the early 1980s. 1 of my old bosses used to live there when it was converted. Now it's actually a condominium. Unfortunately they've taken any of the old charm & thrown it away except for the exterior of the building. The only reason I can see for them getting the rents they're charging is for the location. Everything in the apartments is basic. Boring, bland kitchens & a microwave on -the counter?? No in-unit laundry in either unit. No supermarket close by & that Target is only a Target express store with limited selection & it charges more than a regular full service Target. Cutting up those apartments to add an extra bedroom in each is the silliest idea I've heard of. You'll get more vang for your buck somewhere else.

Now, this is what I call NYC. Can you imagine how many out of town friends you would have wanting to come for a visit. Or pretend they are friends and rent them a room for a day or two.

I liked these apartments and Jack too. Jack seemed to have a good personality, he was upbeat and enthusiastic, I liked that!

I would love to see actual tiny-box apartments at some point. These are all so fucking huge to my Finnish standards.

I can’t believe I lived there for 10 years. Moving away was the best decision.

Those apartments are nice, and have charm (especially the one with the fireplace). It's great that they have rooftop access. They look larger than I imagined, but their best perk is that they're located in the garment district. So many places to eat and shop, with bus lines and subways galore. In the 1980s, I had a boyfriend who lived on 31st Street and Broadway. It was so cool doing things in the area, and his job was walking distance from home. The neighborhood has evolved a whole lot since those days.

Lol, being stoked to be able to see a Macy's is hilarious

Fun fact. Foot locker is the last semblance of Woolworth that still exists today.

Would you be able to watch the Parade from the apartment? I bet it would be cool at Christmas!

the prices paid for these dump apartments can get you large houses and yards in suburbia and even more in rural areas , but to each their own i guess.

Not a bad deal for the location! I'm pleasantly surprised! And the thought of watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade from above it sounds amazing!

When they call it a "tiny-box" apartment it means full size apartment here in Hong Kong. I think in this apartment you totally get what you pay for!

Nice haircut Cash! Lookin' good man🎉!

Seems like a very well maintained building. Nice apts, nice views and very clean. I used to live a few blocks away , and yes, it's a nice neighborhood as well.

wow, this is fascinating. Spend $6,200 a month for an apartment the size of an RV with medocore appliances and fixtures. All so I can live in NYC and shop at all the same places I have here. Honestlsy, the entire building is mediocre, except for the size it is NY big.! For $6,200 where I live I could get a mansion or 5 - 2 bedroom apartments---and all five better equipped.

Visited New York last week and went to the Macy's area. I recognize almost everything in that area you passed by, which I find cool 😁 Went past the Herald Towers to get to the base of Empire State. Love your videoes man

The astronomical prices never cease to amaze me. I always wonder what ppl have to do for a living to afford to live in such a place. Or Is everybody a trust fund baby?

WoW! What a fantastic area to live in! ✌️👍💕

I like the apartment and the location.

I’ll never understand how glass, cement, and brick is a beautiful view.

What an awesome building. And for some reason I’m impressed with the rent. I guess I’ve gotten used to how expensive it is to live in NYC.

This was the neighborhood i stayed in when i visited. Loved it. Very central for walking everywhere. Bought overpriced shoes in that neighborhood and ate at many many amazing restaurants in that neighborhood. It was incredible!

Congratulations @Cash on almost 1/2 million subs, you are rocking the real estate rental gig.

I looked at this building when I first moved to NYC. It is quite nice. As you described, the apartments are converted hotel rooms, but given the vintage of the building, each apartment has a slightly different layout. It would be best to rent an apartment with a street view rather than the interior, if you want abundant daylight and views. The neighbourhood has much to offer, if only for the flagship Macy's. The studios-my favourite-currently rent for $3300/month, which is slightly lower than other similar apartments in the area. Overall, this building is a really good value for the money.

That apartment building ,I think, is one used for many movie shot and TV. Looks like the Building from Friends 😮.

Good Morning All

First view lmao nice. Love the stuff Cash!

This is huge and unexpected this close to Macys Parade🎉🎉🎉🎉

I stayed in nyc 2 weeks ago right off 32nd. This is a really cool area, lots of activity. Thanks for the cool video 😊

...i'm loving the layout of the 2nd apartment...sweet!!!

Hi Cash and to your friend wow very lovely tiny apartment in NYC. Great views of Macys and Manhattan stay well and safe 👍

Nice apartments with great views, and surprisingly good closet space! I like the haircut, Cash!

Cool gig helping to show apartments for other agents/agencies, Cash!! Both great places with the cozy characterful vibe.

This is the best Apartment that I have seen so far on you Channel.

Had to take a pause for the last days, so I missed some of your videos. Bur I'm happy tio see you decided to keep the old format!

The location vibes. Both apartments are functional, clean, livable. Well, perhaps one day it's for me.

That view is priceless❤❤❤❤❤!!!

this apartment looks huge to me....i was expecting smaller. I won't mind staying here with all the amenities in the building and convenience

I worked in that area for many years, one of my favorite buildings. Nice apartments.

The smallest hostel room I've lived in was in NY. I was on a work trip so stayed in an amazing hotel on work money and tiny hostel on my money. Saw Eric Prydz/Prydz.

Yes, Please. I am all for it. Plus, if it's allowed you can rent it out during Christmas, and Parade time.

4900$ per month? Lol this doesnt seem worth it.

I grew up in the Chelsea co-ops (Penn South apartments) on W. 26th St. so when we had nothing to do my sister and I used to just walk up and down 34th St, going into shoe stores (a lot of them even in the 1970s), Macy’s, Korvette’s and Gimbel’s. Too bad they didn’t have that Herald Square outdoor seating area back then.

🎉Great time to see you. Thanks❤❤

Had My teens watch this.. what a diff world from our hot humid rainy state, with a yard,,pool, malls, cars,,,, I cld love it..grew up in NJ, but left to Cali at 15... here in South Florida,still miss seasons

Love your videos. Suggestion, can you please mention in the videos if the apartments are pet friendly? Appreciate it!

Happy Sunday Cash , Always enjoy your channel.... Can't wait until your next video... Bye-bye 👋

Oh my, a new hair style. Looking good my friend.

😃 If they're your roommate and also a bully.😆😆😆

Where I live in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, roughly 60 miles east of Pittsburgh, each one of these apartments would go for no more than $600/month, including water and sewage. Gas, electric, internet, and trash pickup would run roughly $180/month. Rent and utilities included would be about $780-$820. To pay anything more than that is robbery imo.

I love when developers turn these old hotels into residential and preserve them rather than demolish them. The place looks great and the price isn't bad for the location.

And this is why I live in cozy northern Kentucky. Lol!

As usual, Cash, you always make my day....

I love the first apartment! Don’t even mind the fireplace

Very cool apartments today.

Rooftop (and some apartments) provides a great view for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

This is Gonna b so Interesting CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Sunday😀….

Almost the entire population of Whittier, Alaska live in one building and that's 300 people. LOL

Great location and pretty neat apt.

FIVE SENSES! My favorite restaurant in K-Town Manhattan! ❤❤❤

I miss NY every day... might have to help me find a place next summer when my baby graduates from her country side HS

So where was the tiny box apartment? Stop using "tiny box apartment" for clicks. This was mostly just bad footage of New York.

I grew up in NYC. Herald Towers was originally the Hotel McAlpin. Brings back memories.

The price a month blows my mind. I can't even imagine. Granted it's not in mid town NY..but I live in a 2 bedroom house with a basement. My rent is $700 a month.

They will install a new toilet seat. Wow. A $50 gift simply amazing

Love it! Perfect place!

Whoa! Great area nice flat and pretty reasonably priced as these things go! Plenty of wallspace with fabulous views - the quintessential New York apartment. Great vid and happy new haircut!

I love all of those apartments. Plus the location is excellent, especially for the Macy's parade.

Great views! Nice digs!

Reasonable price for midtown..with a fantastic location..💯

I work a block away from this building and always wonder how it look inside.

I live in a city, but don't leave the neighborhood unless I want or need to. When you have everything nearby, it makes it very convenient. I'm sure it's the same in NY.

Cash, your subscriber numbers are skyrocketing! Congratulations.

Thats where my airbnb was! I remember it was really old and needed renovation

Beautiful Apts in a great place. I love your new haircut you look more handsome than ever!

Im from Germany and these prices are crazzzzy... and there are sooo many people around. Where is the peace? You could never relax in this noisy city

God, the rooftop views I would die for.

Learned more about Herald Square.Thanks Cash...

Excellent presentation!❤

aint never seen no under sink dishwasher before, that is big city stuff.

I like the Harold apartments very lovely 👌👌👌👌👌🌸

Love this!

This guy cracks me up. Funny without meaning to. 😊

I live in Australia & I love your NYC tours

Awesome place Cash 👍🇦🇺😊

AREA HAS GREAT ENERGY❤❤❤

Cash, Beautiful building. Tell Jack thanks. Love that part of NYC. Great job. New hairdo? Looks good. Your great videos speak volumes about your talent. Keep going! ☮️

hmm nice, but 19th floor, and 2 rooms for 5k... not sure how that makes sense.. the idea of tryiing make it smaller for an extra bed room makes no sense, 2 people not be comfy there like that

I know NYC is expensive. But, I don't think I could ever justify spending that much on an apartment. I can get a mansion here in W. PA for those rates.

Happy Sunday Cash

Im in the Mojave desert in Southern UT. Cant imagine living like this, so interesting
