Manhattan Apartment Hunting: $2500 Budget - The Quest for Space

[@cridecar]

I live in Sunnyside near Long Island City and work in Midtown. It saves me tons of money, travel time to work is 15 minutes, and the area has a lot of very good restaurants and bars to enjoy during my free time/weekends. I think my best take on living in this area is having more time for whatever things I like to do outside of work coz it saves me so much time from commute.

The British accent fooled me in the beginning 😂 Great video!

[@T.Green.]

Great video! Thanks for this bro, good insight into NYC living.

[@graffmixer]

Midtown a place you go to chill, not to live. If you live there, you're going to be sick and tired bumping into tourist lol. That 4th apt, I was like you really want to live a block from Times Sq lol. BK I love. I actually never left BK ever since I moved to NYC. I think you made the best decision. You have a car so you're good. Queens is cool. I think you might like Forest Hills or even Astoria.

[@paolagabriella2486]

Yesss queens is where it’s at. Astoria or lic or even Sunnyside

[@hummersd]

Love the different places you explored, and great point about not breaking the lease, but got experience knowing what you may face when looking when you can move. I'd suggest since you work in Midtown, you'd have options closer to the west side on the Hudson (which should be quieter), or commute from the north since you'd have 123 and AC for transit -- even though you want to not commute, it should be shorter instead of all the way over in Brooklyn.

A lot of ppl in newyork talk about how high their prices are... but you dont have to have a car.... dont say for insurance , gas , and a car note .. that's thousands per month you're saving

[@cassandraac]

People still have cars here and all that cost even more

[@str8gamer964]

@ you don’t need one

[@magicworld3242]

I used to live in Brooklyn. Now, I live in Manhattan. If you're gonna move to The City. Get rid of the car. You won't need a can, living in Manhattan.

[@lordtare]

This was great insight into how much apartments costs in Manhattan and what you get for the price

[@dev.morrison]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@lordtare]

[@dev.morrison]

[@jennyontheblock]

[@ronaldmcallister3355]

Dev you need to do what's best for you.

[@KnowledgeLender]

Make video about Dating in NYC>.

[@cbreez40]

The rent in NYC is ridiculous ..

[@Itoshimi]

Well yes. It’s a huge city that brings in millions yearly and that millions of people flock to….. that’s like being shocked that a cruise ship is more expensive than a raft…..

[@CatsSaveTheWorldForSure]

I love BK!!!

[@matthewbailey5844]

hey this was interesting but could you recut it with overlays of the addresses or or cross streets?

[@homeywisp]

Don't put that "getting laid off" stuff in the air like, I am gonna always hope that doesn't happen to anyone man :(

[@Tyrese37]

great decision.

[@anthonyfreeman2147]

Literally! 😂

[@miguelravelo4523]

Any tips on landing a tech job in NYC for a laid off swe?

[@alexycaceresgiraud328]

Where did you find all those options? Which platform did you use?

[@dev.morrison]

StreetEasy.com

[@lewisgarnett869]

Hey Dev. I love the content!! keep it up. is it possible if you could mentor to me. I really want to break into tech as a front end dev.

[@diogodias6218]

[@chrismanuelis3]

Try finding a job more downtown. Living in the city will be a pain especially if it’s 1k more and you get pests. My first apartment I had roaches and it was a nightmare

[@raymoniyalawrence5484]

Just from this video, harlem sounds like it maybe a good fit for you.

[@kmp031]

try either jamaica queens or yonkers its only 1 -2 stops on lirr or metro north less than 20 mins to midtown

[@WanderingVik]

Queens is the answer! 🎉

[@dev.morrison]

😂 underrated borough!

[@WanderingVik]

@@dev.morrison it’s more diverse, closer to Manhattan, a little bit more affordable… from what I know.

[@momohead35]

Stay in BK and save your money.

[@kendoman3150]

Sorry, I like the American accent more.

[@basketballplayerfacts]

Don't do it! Queens NY looks like a dump.

[@CRiver396]

Living in new York is crazy. Absolutely not.

[@Brockolli3000]

Why would you pay a premium to life in such a shitty area.
