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

This little apartment has an amazing view because its in Midtown Manhattan right next to the Empire State Building. Also, if you share it with someone else, its actually affordable.

75k a year purely on rent. Absolutely insane

[@Joseph-lz5er]

Dumb to pay rent when you can save up and, in a few years, can easily buy a nice house in NJ.

[@Valorios]

@@Joseph-lz5ertrue, landlords just laugh at you for paying that. Actually quiet sad but i guess the majority is lazy and just pays

[@truthteller8274]

You couldn't pay me that to live there in that concrete hell.

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!

Same. I’m watching this from the ‘burbs in Western WA. I’ve lived in apartments, but none have been in a 600+ unit building. I’m visiting NYC in September, so I’m sure my mind will be blown a bit.

[@Instantpower332]

We have 10 acres in New England. The first house I built the mortgage was $35 grand. The 2nd house on 20 acres the mortgage was $45 grand. I really enjoy the channel also but would go stir crazy and the rent prices are insane. To live anywhere decent you better make $200 grand …

[@blueeyedwolf2205]

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.

[@tigerofcopenhagen2225]

The fireplace is just a decoration. Do with it as you will.

[@hannahanderson4305]

Especially for a view of concrete and brick all around you, it's not like the buildings in NYC are all that attractive. Go look at a city in Mexico, the architecture and being built into the mountains so many are so beautiful with color and nature.

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.

[@wesleyb1458]

No you are right tbf. In New York City this is actually a very large apartment compared to most. There are some real “tiny box” apartments in New York that are like 300-400sf and cost more than my 2200 sf house in Florida lol

[@piou77piou]

I'm genuinely starting to think this channel is only clickbait. I recently discovered it and it's like the 5th time I have the feeling the content doesn't match the title or the "appartement" description are false (like it's only a bedroom rent with roommates).

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!

[@Instantpower332]

We have over 10 acres but fortunately there are another 5 to 10 acres around us. We have horses, dogs Cats,even a miniature donkey. Life’s great just couldn’t Imagine if we had to pay $60,000 a year in rent for a space way smaller then a 2 stall barn. Now that’s just plain nuts..

[@queens6583]

Everyone's perspective is different depending on where you were born and raised. My brother lives in rural upstate N.Y. and every time we visit my kids are glad to go home to the city and can't imagine living in " the country". As long as your happy where you are is what's important.

[@Instantpower332]

@@queens6583 I was fortunate growing up living in the suburbs on Illinois. Where we lived there still was a great deal of farm land. Now it’s wall to wall homes. My wife and I did live in New Haven for 2 years that’s the closest to the city living I have ever had. Now we have over 10 acres and are land locked. I do admit seeing some of the amazing apartments living in the city could be amazing. But the prices there’s no way….

[@hadeev]

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.

[@Kitkat2870]

Charm for $5K/month in rent...yeah...well...you can keep your NYC charm and stick it where the sun don't shine.

[@ZeldaMaster500]

the only thing this video shows me is that people that live in the city don't know how to mange money properly, for 5k a month you can afford a half a million dollar home outside the city. 5k is astronomical for a apartment that is on the same level as high crime areas. that apartment is pure section 8, ive seen people living off government assistance have better homes, i feel bad for people who willingly stay there

[@MamaCarola1]

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.

[@lisab.1595]

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.

[@gstevens6948]

I was going to say, nice clean building, nice area for sure. Sounds very reasonable.

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

[@romktch17]

$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.

[@mariewiseman2962]

[@jamesslate6664]

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.

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!

[@lonniemcclure4538]

I expected the entire apartment to be smaller than the living room was.

@@justso4509 I had not seen "Living in NYC’s SMALLEST Apartment (60 Square Feet)" so thanks for that. He does show small apartments sometimes, but quite rarely and his titles are always pushing it to the "This is such a tiny apartment" even tho it has multiple rooms and a seperate living room etc. It's annoying to me, but I still love these videos no matter what. Prices are absolutely insane. But renting isn't cheap in Finland either(in bigger cities) so I can't really comment on that, but obviously a manhattan flat with nothing in it costing about 3000 a month is insane.
