I’m a born and raised New Yorker that grew up in Harlem. Finding a place like this to live for that price is amazing. It’s honestly rare lol. Happy for you.

[@lenainbrooklyn]

also born and raised new yorker!! thanks for watching :)

[@yashs1999]

honestly an amazing apartment, especially for 2300 in nyc. thought units like these go for 3000 minimum

[@lenainbrooklyn]

i know it's a deal!!

[@maddscientist3170]

$27,600 a year for a one bedroom apartment does not entice me to move to that area

[@westernpigeon]

you absolutely got a steal for 2300. id expect something like this to go for at least 2800 in most parts of NYC

[@lenainbrooklyn]

thank you!!

[@amyfaurote1488]

Great apartment! Peace 🕊️

[@dawnsullivan7325]

luv the portable washer, dryer and dish washer...

[@lenainbrooklyn]

Me too :)

[@oksurejamie]

A super spacious apartment with a thoughtful layout in Brooklyn for...$2300? Lol what? How? You can never leave this place haha

[@lenainbrooklyn]

i know...

[@jsmith5509]

Great apartment!!!

[@mariapinto2498]

Cote apartment! I would love to live in Brooklyn! It was really hard to find an apartment. Thank you for the tour!

[@lenainbrooklyn]

Thank you both!!

[@santielewaut]

Nice apartment! It looks super spacious for that price 😀. I have my desk in my bedroom and yes I can confirm the temptation to lay in bed all day is real 🤣🤣

[@lenainbrooklyn]

sameee that's why i make my bed to try to avoid getting back in

[@santielewaut]

@@lenainbrooklyn lol. The best option is to remove anything with the potential to lay on. sofas, couches, bed and sleep on the floor

[@jmsfaith2181]

Love your apartment! I live on the Lower Eastside of Manhattan. Rents are crazy right now. Can I ask where did you get the mirror by the door? Love the look of that.

[@lenainbrooklyn]

It’s super old from my mom, she got it a long time ago unfortunately. But I love it too!

[@susanvelez6534]

Love that apartment wish I could help you re arrange it with what you already have in it ❤

[@lenainbrooklyn]

What would u suggest! Interior design is not my forte

[@Bellasand45]

There are plenty of books about how to decorate small spaces, or watch videos about. For the console under the television, you can make it higher by putting new legs.

[@michaela3874]

Oh this is really nice. Where were the hanging lights from in the bedroom?

[@lenainbrooklyn]

Ikea!

[@patmcraig45]

Nice apartment

[@Sara-um2vy-od9ex]

could you link the brand of the tofu press you have displayed in your room?

[@bonniepwtf]

Huge place for that amount of money, SCORE! Just a thought, you could put longer legs on the tv stand to raise it up a bit if you aren't enjoying it at that height.

[@lenainbrooklyn]

Ya good point!

[@defnecelikoyar]

wait this is so random and I promise I'm not a weirdo but your video popped up on my home page and I'm convinced we live in the same building lol

[@lenainbrooklyn]

Hahahah I guess see you around 💀

[@susanvelez6534]

You may want to think of putting the shoes in the big closet

[@lenainbrooklyn]

I know but then I forget which ones I have…

[@susanvelez6534]

@@lenainbrooklyn lol your funny….. if you keep them in their organizer and just move them inside the closet you can still see them 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@Sara-um1vy]
