Love that you get more excited by cheap apartments than unaffordable high end places.

[@ListedInTheSouth]

He's a real one.

[@EffySalcedo]

Cheap Apts excites cash 👻

[@emeeleromes3364]

😂😂😂😂cause those are really hard to find, they’re like rare jewels 😂😂😂🎉

[@ThePlainswalker13]

I can't wrap my head around NY rent. That "cheap" apartment costs as much as the mortgage on a $250,000 house where I am. And under typical conditions, you can sell that house for a substantial profit after living there a few years. Very different dynamic I guess.

[@normamcphee8956]

That little place is just cute! I wish I could see one or two of my favorite design 'tubers let loose on it. Double down on the retro vibe from that bathroom....

[@nygrl6102]

I hate it when people move away and abandon their pet rocks! So cruel! Please take them home with you!

[@MamaCarola1]

Wonder if they were using them to help keep an a/c unit stable in the window

[@ElizaWigglesworthe]

It’s so sad to see them just hanging around, waiting for their previous owners to come back for them. If they get too depressed, they’ll even stop eating.

[@envyvicious]

Don't shop. Adopt!

[@leilanidiaz2303]

I miss my pet rock

[@653j521]

I wonder if they mated with wild rocks and went feral.

[@kathy3178]

Quite roomy for a studio. I like the older places so much better. They have a lot of charm and character you don't find in the modern cookie cutters

[@dfc99nyc]

Sheepshead Bay is a traditional NYC outer-borough ethnic neighborhood. Once mostly Italian and Jewish, it now is more Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese. Still a safe neighborhood, comprised of old and some very new apartment buildings, and 1 and 2 family private homes. Depending where you move to in Sheepshead Bay it might even be possible to own a small car.

[@JinghisKhan]

It is also home to a hidden gem of an old school restaurant - the Roll n Roaster.

[@sleepnomore6065]

JUST CRAZY COMMUTES!

[@fernkitty]

This studio has more kitchen cabinets than my one bedroom in Washington Hts. Those old tiled bathrooms with the laundry hampers are lovely. Plus Sheepshead Bay = walking distance to the ocean!!!

[@Theedebtcollector]

Lol that is my old building! I had a studio for 1200 and then a 2 bedroom apartment for 1500 down the street by the stop and shop and the hardware store! It’s a nice, quite, and calm area. Really good if you have a family/ kids ❤

[@melbrown6019]

If I was young and single or married with no children, this would definitely work. I would buy a couch that has a bed. Then I wouldn’t need both. The neighborhood is really nice and has a lot there. I think a 40 minute commute isn’t that bad. My husband drives an hour to work where we live. It’s certainly doable and the price isn’t that bad.

[@MamaCarola1]

I love the old school type of buildings that have character. I can guarantee that the lobby area used to be filled with furniture. For a studio the kitchen has a surprising number of cabinets & it looks like it has been renovated in the recent past. That wall hamper in the bathroom is great. So many of them have been painted shut or totally removed in renovations. The toilet has a newer flushometer than the old ones but still nice pressure. For someone starting out this is a great place. & rent stabilized??? Bet it's already gone. The 40 minute commute wouldn't bother me. Live in Eastern Queens near the Nassau border & you need a bus & subway. I don't think people realize how large NYC is

[@edwardmiessner6502]

When I lived and worked in the suburbs of Miami Florida it often took me 2 hours to drive 17 miles from my home to my work and usually it took about an hour. It was very stressful and tedious to do this every day; it literally drove me crazy! So give me a 40 minute commute on an express subway train any day.

[@MamaCarola1]

@@edwardmiessner6502 I hear you. Certain areas in the city also have express bus service from the outer boroughs. It's more expensive but you're not dealing with overcrowded subways

[@user-qp3wt5qe9g]

Basically a nice apartment at an affordable price. I love the lobby - so art Deco. That is what is so nice about old school buildings - all the character and charm. And laundry in the building - I would sign up if I did not live in Chicago. lol. It is definitely a great place.

[@mirrlamp]

I can't live without a garden but this is a reasonably priced studio and I'm sure it will be snapped up pretty soon. Bathroon could do with a re grouting but I really like that classic green and black colour scheme. Rent stabilised, in building laundry and a lift too.

[@BlueberryFundip]

Ikr it's a helluva flat!😊

[@hewitc]

Location location. This is not the New York people think of when they want to moved to New York. Not an easy commute. Technically, Staten Island is NYC but it's a whole different world.

[@fasdaVT]

get few shelves and grow lights and fill up on house plants.

[@phebiekittylobue8650]

I love how the kitchen is in it's own dedicated separate space. Bathroom is cute love the contrast.

[@blondek767]

I would buy materials to build a temp wall (cubicle style) to better hide my bedroom space from my livingroom/dining space. In my current house, there is no closet in my bedroom, so I bought an antique broom closet and refinished it to hang clothes, have shelves and baskets for socks, pjs, etc. no need for a dresser. Saves space. As a minimalist, this apartment would work for me, great price, too! 😃👍

[@fannycraddock99]

If I was still young and just striking out on my own in NYC it would be perfect. I'd have a sofa bed and a big armchair. Nice colourful curtains and rugs. It would be a cosy den. Bathroom & kitchen are good and the neighbourhood looks decent. Thanks Cash.

[@kathrynmcallister7470]

Finally Cash, an apartment that I could actually afford! Not much to look at but it definitely would suit the purpose. I am 66 years old and have lived in many different states and countries around the world and I have lived in Alot worse places then that. The area appears fairly safe also. Thanks for another great video.

[@sinash]

Okay ... Not bad. Not bad at all for $1380/month and rent stabilized! I could work with it except.. 40 minutes to get into Manhattan proper? Hmm... and ya know ... I could work with that too given its affordability. I think we're reaching the point of where people must move farther out to find affordable housing/living and while I do LOVE NYC, I could learn to love it from afar and enjoy an affordable neighborhood/community that doesn't stress me out due to rent costs and other expenses.

[@dianem1952]

You would STILL be in New York City, just not Manhattan! Stop confusing the two!!

[@sinash]

@@dianem1952 A 40 minute commute is reminiscent of my time of owning my house in NJ but commuting/working in NYC. Therefore for me, it would not be the same type of feel and convenience as directly living and working in NYC--more specifically, Manhattan proper.

[@MamaCarola1]

​. He's not confusing the 2. If you're from here people who live in the "outer" boroughs always say we're going in2 the city (meaning Manhattan). We know we live in NYC. It's just a way of speaking

[@MK-hh1vo]

​​@@MamaCarola1You'd be surprised at how many people don't know NYC consists of *5 boroughs* . People often say "I couldn't find a place in NYC, I had to go to Brooklyn (Queens, etc). 🙄 Most native NYers say "Manhattan" not "The City". Edit 😄 Last night my life long native Brooklynite friend referred to Manhattan as "the City"!

[@Allenryan819]

You can get to the city like in 30 minutes if you take the BM3 express bus from sheepshead bay. You also can get to the city from sheepshead bay in 30 minutes going on the B train it goes express but the B train service ends at 10:00pm

[@le_th_]

That's what most apartments in NYC looked like from 1990 to 2003, if you were looking to rent back then (and yes, they were also rent-stabilized back then). Someone is very lucky to find this. Perfect for a flight attendant based at JFK.

[@debsylvester2012]

Cash- It’s great to see an apartment that is affordable in NYC. Nice job! Thank you! Happy Monday! Keep going!☮️👏👏👏👏

[@donniemoder1466]

That is a long way from Manhattan. If your job is in Brooklyn, you may rarely go to Manhattan. That's okay, if that is what you want. You might also want to get a car. Also, hope you have a pleasant landlord in an older building like that. It a pretty looking building from the outside. But on the plus side it seems to be a much nicer studio than the "cheap" studios in Manhattan. And a neighborhood "quiet with stuff" is also nice.

[@Allenryan819]

You can take the BM3 express bus it will take you to the City around 25 five minutes without traffic And the B train will take it to City around 28 minutes because it’s express but Service ends at 10 PM cash took the Q train that’s local so it takes about 40 minutes.

[@arlichar11]

this is really the kinda place i would be ok with... its not perfect but its not terrible , i love the quirky charm of the place

[@tatianavargas-caba3335]

I love how Cash got excited over finding the laundry room. He made it sound as if buildings in NYC don't have one. I've always lived in buildings that have one. Also, the building I used to live in as a child had that old school hamper built into the wall. Why don't newer buildings have this? It's a true space saver!

[@realbhopwood]

Murphy bed console and forget about it. Nice.

[@dianem1952]

Thank you!!!! Every time Cash tours a studio, I say ‘get a Murphy bed’. There are even some with art, etc affixed to the bottom of the bed, so when the bed is closed, it looks like a wall!!

[@Gizathecat2]

Nice little place! Perfect for one person!

[@perdiddlepanskew8018]

Daybed with a trundle for the couch and guest sleepovers. Desk with storage hutch to take advantage of ceiling height. Gateleg table with incorporated seat storage for game nights. Totally useable space, and with the foldaways some empty floor space so it feels bigger.

[@sinash]

You see? It can be done. And, it can be done quite well!

[@saraleasmith6457]

That building has character really loved the hamper great place to store the tp

[@GrannyLinn]

This is a great apartment. I was beginning to think no one could afford to live in NYC, ever.

[@countrygirl4422]

I love places like that as long as it's clean and no bugs. It's amazing what you can do with a cozy little studio.

[@dellaknowles5306]

Of all the apartments you have shown, alone or with your friends, this one right here is my absolute Favorite. 🎉 May it find it's right occupant. ❤

[@mascottie]

I love how serious you sound when you say you could rent out the tiny closet as a second bedroom 😂

[@kathyflorcruz552]

I love the building & the apartment with it's vintage decor. So much more character than any new reno building. You'd be lucky to snag an apartment there. A simple room divider or two & you have a bedroom. 💠💠💠💠💠 I love the vintage tiles in the bathroom - I detest it when renos go in and tear that out for ugly replacements.

[@mastermind2032]

As someone who moved from Brooklyn to Thailand, your videos are a godsend. I get to see my old neighborhoods and hangouts while also reminding myself of one of the main reasons I left for Thailand: The RENT🤣🤣

[@patriciaanne7932]

Those rocks are to throw at drunken revelers coming home from the pub singing ditties😂

[@raketensven3127]

Some deep cleaning and some minor fixes needed. Really a steal price for NYC and with laundry. Wouldn't mind the commute if I was starting out in that city, you're probably also way faster with (e) bike than subway.

[@celesteredding1550]

Great studio apt and it's rent stabilized 😮.

[@nicoleannhoward9259]

HI CASH ... thanks for talking about this apartment, cash we love you .

Cute place! Grab it! See thru tall bookshelf makes a great room separation and still supplies light. A slender but tall storage unit would fit in the bathroom door alcove and you could store extra set of sheets in it and a couple extra towels.

I love it!!❤

[@kittyfarmer9567]

[@gilbertmercado462]

Thanks Cash for posting this video it is an excellent price for a New York City Studio and has a good layout. Formerly a New Yorker but now live in the south. If I thought I could handle the noise and amount of people I would apply but truthfully I have slowed down. Hope someone snatches it up it is worth it.

They need more like this could be very helpful with the working homeless problem

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Exactly. Every parking lot in the city needs to grow an apartment house like this.

[@sarahj.8372]

I love that you help everybody...that looked nice and safe and so much happier all he way around...everything is usable and nice enough for a budget big decent sized studio apt. It was truly pleasant. It has the elevator many just need and so many things like not being squished at all bathroom spot needs, an elder could be assisted a little at that tub for instance... and a real kitchen alcove. In fact entry and bath and kitchen all have the alcove thing which is major room for creative storing helps, and not taking space in your precious one room....it is just fabulous..wonderful....and for once doable for full time singles on budgets to get savings going there or for those with good enough fixed incomes who would like to have a little to live beyond rent.

[@subwayjoefrombrooklyn4471]

I lived very close to there in a rent-stabilized studio apartment for a short time in the early 1980s. The rent was $300 something a month. (No matter how clean you keep a NY apartment, you may get a little visitor once in a while. I hate that.)

Cats is the solution unless you're allergic.

[@gstevens6948]

Wow! What a value, not that bad at all. Common areas looked clean, as well as the apt.

[@vintageradios7790]

I can definitely tell you that building was built in 1934. That is your classic blonde brick Art Deco style apartment house. Very classy style building and anybody who appreciates the art deco style of the Great Depression would love to live there

[@ANIMALS_AND_MORE_moments]

Well thought out apartment layout. That will be a nice place to live. Great kitchen.

[@markbigbadbear]

Honestly looks like a decent place. What's the general commute time from there to the heart of Manhattan? Might be a fun thing for a Sunday Special: Visit a couple of places that are, say, about an hour's commute (one way) away from Manhattan. See what kind of neighbourhoods / price ranges you end up in?

[@damonmelendez856]

If you lived there, you’d likely get a job at the fruit stand, bodega on the corner or maybe you could be a parking lot attendant. What’s with everyone wanting to commute to the heart of Manhattan?

[@somebodysmom3747]

I needed a break from reality so I went back in time to watch this video. ❤😂 The tile looks mint green to me.
