I Found a Secret NYC Apartment INSIDE a Church…

This has got to be one of the craziest apartment conversions on the planet, and it doesnt even look like an apartment building from the street. Very cool and unique to live in an Ex-Cathedral.

*Fun fact:* The windows in old cathedrals were positioned high up, as to allow in maximum sunlight, but to also eliminate the temptation of glancing out the windows and being distracted, whilst praying.

[@potsylvania]

I love a window over the kitchen sink.. and the round one is so sweet!

[@susanpage8315]

IMO it’s the nicest kitchen.

[@joymelton-bollen6383]

Those windows are EVERYTHING. Gorgeous. I'd want to rent just for the Cathedral windows in that one bedroom! LOL

[@blessingsoutlaw]

I rarely comment, but these are divine spaces! Love it when designers can successfully incorporate practical living spaces into converted buildings!

[@denverdubois5835]

Literally "divine"! LOL

[@AndriaBobbles]

Same! As a Brit, I'm just enjoy watching as NY is comparable to London in many ways living space & budget wise vs other parts of our countries. However, these are the first 'reasonably' priced (for NY) apartments compared to others that Cash has shown in NY that actually have space, character & are truly stunning! Absolutely brilliant job refurbing whilst keeping the original stunning architecrural features as part of the core design, rather than trying to disguise it like other modern refurbs do in historic buildings 👌

[@VelvetDraginfly]

Just be warned, if you get the apt with the window in the closet, Cover it, like all other windows, and Make Sure It Is Locked! Because that is where your intruders will come in. I had a window like that, that I had gone through a whole lot of trouble to get free so I could open it for air in an apt without a/c. only to be broken into TWICE using That window. Because it's not a window that you see all the time, it's vulnerable.

[@sfoeric]

I like them all. Budget allowing, I would take any of them, but they don’t have in-unit washer and dryer, which is a deal breaker for this California kid.

[@greg5775]

Walkups definitely have to have a washer and dryer!

[@the_Mrs.]

This country girl never had any desire to visit NY (prob because the movies always have it getting destroyed lol) but I’m really enjoying your videos showing the neighborhoods and these crazy expensive apartments. It makes me see your city in a more human light. This place is so cool and I would love to shoot hoops in that court!

[@jfox9126]

These are all nice. Love how the modern interior is combined with the older architectural features.

[@dean4558]

Be cool to see follow up episodes where u go back to places you've seen already, but we get to see how the renter has made the space their own 🙂👍

[@KarinLynnBates]

Totally unique building and those interiors are thoughtfully designed!

[@pamelag7553]

Cash, your videos are great!! I'll take the floor apartment or the roof apartment! I love what they did with this building. What renters want is as much light and brightness as possible. Whoever told the developers they couldn't change the outside of the building was a genius. If I had to live in NYC I would pick a place in this building. Great job!

[@maggiesfarm7970]

When we were young in the '70's we rented a whole 3 bedroom 2 bath house with a fireplace for $300.00. That was in the San Francisco Bay Area.

[@sharon7351]

What a beautiful building! I love the windows! I'm so glad they "had to work around.." the building features. Buildings like this need preservation. It's too bad that renting in NYC for most requires a roommate, or several roommates, to be affordable. I would have a problem with that. I hate most people and just tolerate the rest. 😉 so no NYC apartment living for me! Thanks for the video, Cash! 👍

[@PornIsHate]

Smart, avoid being ripped off. NYC sucks because it’s way overpriced so it’s just a grind, all money going to rent. Not worth it.

[@gigi1323]

Your comment...'I hate most people and just tolerate the rest.' Took the words right out of my mouth. Are you my long lost sister?

[@Completelysurrendered]

Hate most people tolerate the rest 😂 I can relate

[@anna-river]

when i first moved to new york this was the neighborhood i moved into... so nostalgic.

[@figmo397]

The high windows in that last apartment's bedroom are especially cool because you get more wall space and more options as to where you can put your furniture.

[@ellenfoster9764]

Also, you don’t have to worry about people on the street looking into your apartment.

[@janish3059]

I really love the studio apartment. The brightness is like being up in heaven and actually looking out at the other parts of the church makes you feel like you might be there or on your way. Those windows are truly unique and I would love to have it. Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo? As for the larger units, they seem to lack character and the views are not as nice. Also I did take note of the higher Windows which does bring brightness into the apartment okay but just picture sitting beneath them at a table and you can't even look out the window 😉

[@ja-uh9gz]

That was my favorite, too. I love the light and the outdoor spaces.

[@Leelee...]

What a fabulous building!

[@elfhybrid9063]

I love, love, LOVE how many windows there are, you almost dont electric lighting till night time

[@scottpeterson7500]

In the second apartment I saw the perfect spot for a breakfast nook 😎🥐☕️

[@suroot]

I'm aware of the attraction people feel to pay nearly $5k per month to live in small space within an overall a densely populated area. I talk with New Yorkers who have moved on to slower paces of life often. Perspective, $250k can buy acres of land in relatively prestine and unpolluted environment while also being within 30 minutes of a Trader Joe's. The nearest neighbor can be halfway to the horizo, the city center would be a casual drive with a scenic lakeview alomg the way and you would own the land. So for almost the same payments for this apartment plus other cost of living, an individual can become a landlord and setup the future 60 year old self with a private kingdom. Renting is a nessicity while figuring out the next move.

[@leighnisbett9691]

Anything can be turned into accommodation or your house including old churches /chapels , schools and public buildings can be renovated into rental properties or as your own home with original features kept to keep the character of the building .

[@j.kristineemmons]

Of course the church converted apartment would be in Williamsburg. The studio, the person renting should add an igloo for winter outdoor dining.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

There's an AirBnB in a church in my town i want to try at some point. I did the train station for my birthday in January. Love that deck, it's so nice!

[@anna-river]

i used to rent in that neighborhood for 400 a month for a room in a two bedroom apartment. and that was not even so long ago, actually, 2009. funny enough i now rent a 600 sqf one-bedroom apartment in a small german city for roughtly 600 a month. NY prizes have become absolutely nuts.

[@Alookatportland]

It’s easy to scoff at NYC rent prices, but this is one of those gorgeous spaces that makes me want to work harder so I could afford a place like this.

[@Goonerette75]

I'm loving the church being converted into apartments. If I won the lottery, I'd buy one of these.

[@zoeemiko8149]

As a homeowner it just kills me watching you slam the doors of appliances so hard. Even my kids know better.

[@kittensugars]

There it is! Old building charm....with plumbing that works. Very nice indeed.

[@gigi1323]

I absolutely love all the apartments in this building. The layout is wonderful in all. One can easily see much thought, planning, creativity and talent went into the design while at the same time preserving the original building. Way better than what most do to existing structures by gutting and starting from scratch. Maybe more renovations should be approached in this manner. Very classy outcome. Perfection! Thank you again for another wonderful tour and Happy Father's Day.

[@fannycraddock99]

I loved all of them but surprisingly my fav was the studio! So bright and the roof deck was icing on the cake.

That studio on the top floor! If it were just a tad larger with one more closet, it would be perfect.

[@deborahhovan6464]

Love your videos! As I was my younger self, as a professional figure skater with Ice Capades, I did live in New York in a beautiful apartment overlooking Central Park, and it was wonderful with 3 bedrooms. Of course I’m old now, but I love your touring of New York! ❤! These apartments as beautiful 😍

[@kenscales4992]

These are my fave apartments so far that I've seen on your channel. Very cool.

[@icantalk710]

It's definitely cool to see the building's older features kept and maintained as the interior was updated; the spaces overall look pretty good, and the view on the roof deck is cool. May not be able to afford them anytime soon, but a pretty well-done conversion.

[@judybeverley-harvey5899]

Hi Cash and to your friend this is a very beautiful apartment in a NYC church. Have a blessed day 👍

[@gradyjones9678]

I love the studio. It is smaller but the windows make it look 8igger, And when the weather is good, you could extend your living area out onto the deck with a garden and some chairs. I like the privacy of the studio being on the top floor too.

[@patomollo]

[@jmd1743]

It's Christian to provide housing for the needy in a church that's disused. A church recently bought out millions of dollars of medical debt to be eliminated. If Christians did cool things for their communities like that more often they would begin to fill their churches up again. If I were rich I would probably sue the government to force them to payback wages at current minimum wage for the inmate worker program & start a tiny house building program with the help of a local trade school. The workers would would potentially get hundreds of thousands of dollars of back pay per each worker, and I would offer them the chance to walk away with a free tiny house as a tradeschool graduation award. If they're getting their own tiny house on their way exiting the prison system then they would want to read up interior design with magazines in their prison cells. I recommend people use Bamboo or white colored cabinets with Phenolic Resin Countertops which are those black counter tops you see in chemistry labs. If the Prisoners built their own tiny house to their specifications then they'll quickly want to cut out abusive acquiescence out of their freind circle such as drunkards who punch holes in walls. It would be a self feeding loop of reform essentially, If they cut out abusive assholes then they'll probably start hitting the gym to improve their own bodies, maybe the prisoners would build a tiny house extension to fit a treadmill to stay in shape during winter time?

Unlike a lot of the closet-turned-apartments, these are really nice! Large and bright, lots of windows and more than an arm's length of a kitchen. I love old, converted buildings. They generally have great bones.
