185sqft TINY / Micro NYC APARTMENT TOUR 2021! New York City Apartment Search - Nyasia C

[@NyasiaC]

Could you survive in a 185sqft studio apartment?

[@reyarogan6316]

Yes I could! You posted one months ago. The kitchen was behind slated doors. LOVED IT! Studio apt. Only thing it missed was laundry.

[@NyasiaC]

@@reyarogan6316 That unit has laundry in the basement, so it would have been perfect!

[@Martina_E]

I don't mind a small space, but that's a tiny bit bigger than a closet!

[@SarahLWebb]

yep! I'm planning a move to NYC next year. Uptown, so I look forward to part 2. Your channel is very informative.

[@SarahLWebb]

Speaking of which, have you done an advice video for people considering moving to NYC? Things we should consider or keep in mind before relocating, etc.

[@TheBlackDorothyZbornak]

Rents are drastically decreasing so there is no reason for these micro apartments to be this expensive!

[@NyasiaC]

I agree. There are good deals to be had out there.

[@flblackbutterfly1]

I just saw a HUGE studio, near the park for the same price on another channel!

[@MemineAussi]

Another youtuber showed apt #2 a few months ago. I'm not surprised it still hasn't rented.

[@panamasrose]

First off, the prices. There is way too much inventory out there for anyone in their right mind to settle for either of these apartments. That being said, the first apartment would require a sofa bed. This gets folded away in the daytime allowing for more space. In the second apartment I'd do the same thing. Also, in each bedroom a bunk bed style, with no second bed underneath, would allow for storage under the bed. Either that, or a bed frame that sits 17 inches off the floor allowing for under-bed storage. Other than that, thumbs up for enthusiastic presentation. 🙂

[@NyasiaC]

Yes, there’s definitely a lot of options for renters to choose right now. Also love your furnishing options!

[@Chicago48]

I agree with panama. Or a futon that folds up.

[@peachmari]

NYC is just too much for me, lol, but i love your tours! Such a great host💗

[@NyasiaC]

Thank you so much!

[@janez7650]

I live in the Chicago suburbs and my condo is 963 square feet. After watching this, I feel like I live in a palace.

[@velmasmith4604]

You do, New York’s apartments are terrible, too small for the most part and they charge $2,000 for 185 sq ft.

[@nope2075]

I feel like if you're living in this size apt, then you should just live in a converted van.

[@Miyou159]

Are there free or affordable parking spaces in these neighborhoods? The tenants are mostly paying for location.

[@Musicescape17]

Yes! But unfortunately there’s no where to park safely or where one wouldn’t get told to move.

[@susannebemis3311]

where in NYC would you park?

[@Musicescape17]

@@Miyou159 that’s something to think about. City apartments have a parking garage option I think. Maybe that would work.

[@jennifergraham612]

Agree, cheaper.

[@KristensClassroom]

At least it wouldn't take long to run the AC and cool off!!!

[@NyasiaC]

Omg, hilarious!

[@olbird7647]

Silver linings eh? 😊

[@barbr100]

I actually laughed out loud at that second apartment. Anywhere but NY, if there is no closet, it cannot be considered a bedroom.

[@Myraisins1]

Actually many untouched vintage apartments do not have closets in the bedrooms. Any closets were added later, sometimes very awkwardly. Furthermore, outside of the USA many bedrooms do not have closets. People get stand alone armoires & wardrobes. However your point is well made since those are not bedrooms specifically because of their size, and are likely illegal. To add, that area is not a living room so it's technically not a two bedroom but a one bedroom if even that. These are nonsense NYC real estate marketing techniques. Very frustrating but a reality.

[@toonmili03]

That two bedroom is a one bedroom that they just put a wall in.

[@alexisfuller731]

Welcome back! I’ve missed your videos!

[@NyasiaC]

Yay! Thank you!

[@Miyou159]

If you ever travel, would you consider doing tiny apartment tours in different cities/countries to contrast NYC? Love all of your content & can't wait for the next video! x

[@NyasiaC]

I would totally love to do that!

[@EVELYN-eu9iw]

I'm happy you're back! I Love your apartment tour videos so much✨

[@NyasiaC]

So happy to be back, thank you for sticking around!

[@Mari-sq6cx]

My solution to any of these tiny apartments is very simple : a traditional Japanese futon. Sleep on it at night, fold it up and store it in the closet in the morning.

[@FerretKibble]

Exactly. Put it away, and then there's room for a table and a comfortable armchair. And that kitchen is more than big enough to make proper meals with without using a microwave.

[@lucin2586]

I’m glad this tiny apartment has its own bathroom!

[@CandiceBee]

OMG Nyasia $1900 a month lol.... I have a 5 bedroom house in Maryland suburbs for 1800 a month! But it’s cute... glad to see you back ❤️

[@NyasiaC]

Glad to be back :)

[@susannebemis3311]

I paid a $ 300/month mortgage payment in NW Ohio for 4 1/2 beds and 2 baths

[@AT-ld7kg]

NY is a city that takes your heart but empties your wallet

[@TheBlackDorothyZbornak]

I would add a rolling cart in the kitchen with stools, and one of the murphy beds that double as storage (for apt1)

[@Ubetterworkblog]

Yay, Nyasia is back 🤗. If I had to, I would go with the 1st apt.

[@NyasiaC]

Thank you for coming back! Hope you’ve been well!

[@Ubetterworkblog]

@@NyasiaC yes I have 😀

[@annax1027]

Heck no! Lol So happy I live in Philly. Relatively cheaper housing. I live in Center City and I pay $900 for my studio apartment 450 square feet.

[@littlebutterfly4512]

I feel like especially the first Apartment has lots of potential and it's good to see that it has a bathroom which is actually really pretty. I am actually a person who prefers to life in smaller Apartments especially when I am living alone I like it to be cozied up. With putting a loft bed in you could create a lot of space😍 For small apartments it's just important to then use all the height available to create more room

[@NyasiaC]

Yes, would definitely have to use every bit of the vertical space here!

[@rabbitila7685]

I clicked on this video because your outfit is super stylish. Love it. You are great youtube host. Articulate, not monotone, easy to understand, don't talk to fast. Top notch. Loved watching.

[@NyasiaC]

Aww, thank you for such kind words!

[@debbieagpalasin8559]

It would be nice if you could also show apartments like this nicely decorated/set up. Could help with more rental results. ;) Thanks.

[@humanitiesprofessor1912]

So glad you're back with new content, Nyasia. It's been ages since and far too long. I always look forward to your vlogs. 💥👍👍👌👌💥

[@NyasiaC]

It’s been wayyyyyyyy too long...but I’m back. Thanks for sticking with me!

[@jasmineroy9982]

I live in a 600 sq foot apartment for $589. Thank God for midwestern prices. This is so crazy to me.

[@roxannecleland9329]

A day bed would work as well a bar height table with storage below can be incorporated and a multiply tier stand for added storage in the kitchen.

[@mathpm100]

I wasn’t expecting to see the bathroom in the first apt so that part was nice. If I were living there I would get a futon so that it mostly takes up the space of a twin but can fold down to a double bed As an aside I’m currently looking for apartments in this price range. Where I live in Florida that means 2 and 3 bedrooms with balconies in complexes that have gyms, pools at the very least!

[@NyasiaC]

Yes, foldable furniture would be necessary in that space. Good luck on your search in FL!

[@chrism9294]

@Pearl I feel that anyone living in tiny places (apt, vans, etc) need to really use their creative juices. It’s not the size but the price that gets me. And that’s easy for me to say because I don’t live there but if I did I’d probably be more accepting of the prices.

[@keciaanderson6317]

Glad to see you back and looking great. Your skin is flawless and glowing.

[@catandcaboodle6492]

Hi Nyasia! You definitely are the best apartment tour host on KZbin! I love your videos. It's amazing that you can be out in such a massive city and then you go into your apartment, and it's your own cozy private space. 🤗 I'd love to see NYC in the summer or fall. Maybe one day I will get there!

[@NyasiaC]

You're always so sweet, thank you! Hope you get to make it here soon!

[@ceecee3488]

If you would like some ideas as far as trying to fit into the first apartment....follow someone living in a van. Thats about what it would be like, and they do have some great ideas. I could live in a place this size in a heartbeat. Its really amazing to see how much space we think we need as apposed to what we actually need to function.

[@bloomlove9777]

The sleeper sofa or a dresser with a folding bed.

[@aaronbynum8968]

that first apartment is doable its like a hotel room with a kitchenette and bathroom; a Queen bed and a small table you can eat and work at is possible I believe honestly ive shared a 1 bedroom with apartment with 3 roommates so it would be great

[@NyasiaC]

You've shared a 1 bed with 3 people...wow lol

[@Kitchguy]

Welcome back lol... so for the first apt I would use a pull out couch to save room.

[@NyasiaC]

Thank you for the welcome!

[@MariaEspinal-pg4pn]

The kitchen is perfect

[@buddycooper162]

Maybe person I would have went with a tiny tiny Island and the other part of the room I would have gone with a futon that has storage under it that way you could use it as a living room and bedroom

[@TiffReads]

I think Cash Jordan showed the second apartment as well.

Oh wow, really? Great minds think alike!

[@rainbowbrite621]

Girl, just looking at the tiny apartment is giving claustrophobia! It nice that it has it own bathroom but that little bitty space would drive me crazy!

[@MartinTabanag]

The first apartment is ok cause i used to live a small apartment before pandemic and basically just using the apartment to sleep, shower and keep stuff. but if it’s on lockdown, i think i might go crazy in a tiny apartment and not be able to go out. The 2nd apartment looks nice too. Good size for a family or turn the other bed room into a nice office space.

[@madelyndonnelly2294]

I think I definitely could. I love to style and design places and I believe that I could design it so it would feel like there is more room!

[@Godsfirstborn]

Hello Nyasia, 👋🏽great to see you back. I’m from NYC, left over a year ago and was feeling home sick for a while when we were in lock down. But My rent is $1420 monthly for 650 square ft in Atlanta with gated access in unit washer and dryer my unit is pool side with a balcony, and stainless steel appliances with parking for $22 included in my rent. I realized for 30 years I’ve been spending way too much for closet space in NYC. I’m not moving back. I’m preparing to purchase a condo or townhouse because it’s just me a single professional with no children don’t need a house. But I always enjoy your tours you almost had me a few months ago 🤗

[@NyasiaC]

So excited for your journey to purchase. I know many people have moved there and are loving it. Hope you find the best place that fits your lifestyle. Keep me posted!

[@themuzz351]

That could be for 2 but better one - but for that price totally unreasonable - really now!!

[@20YearSoul]

For the 1st apartment I would get a full size loft bed to sleep on top and feel like I've 'left' my general area. Underneath I'd have a desk with a short dresser and 2 ottomans to sit or a rolling chair that lowers. Outside of the bed area I'd have storage bench with pillows as a couch against the wall by sink , a mounted tv and a tall and narrow case for storage , knick knacks and a plant near the window. I'd a pretty tv tray or one or 2 of those small end table trays. I'd watch TV on bed and if people came over I'd use laptop as TV and place on tray in front of storage bench seating and/or pull out ottomans. Alternatively I'd do a loft bed with loveseat under neath facing out. Across from bed would be a mounted tv and foldable table or tulip table with adjustable height

[@NyasiaC]

Good ideas!!!

[@marthahawkinson-michau9611]

I think apartment one actually has a livable amount of space for one or two people. A high loft bed would allow space underneath the bed for either a small couch or a work desk. Also, I think I might put a narrow drop leaf table along the wall between the kitchen and the bathroom door. Heck, ikea even has one with storage drawers in middle.

[@NyasiaC]

A drop leaf table would be ideal in this space!

[@airalizweeks685]

I wouldn’t survive in the 185 sq feet even thought it’s roomy and has its own bathroom i just feel likes am living in my childhood room but w a kitchen and bathroom as bonus lol

[@loriannrichardson7644]

I like the 1st apt., a bit pricey, but it is the East Village. I think the 2nd apt. is really a one bedroom apt. It would function well for a couple; one of the bedrooms could be a living room.

[@sharon-qc3gn]

Nyasia.. How about a Murphy bed? They come in different sizes
