NYC APARTMENT HUNT- With *Prices* and *Tears* (Can we find a place we BOTH love??)

[@TinyGreenTea]

As a New York native, I've lived everywhere in NYC. My honest advice is not to live in the city (Manhattan). The prices are insane. Everything is overpriced. You can easily find a much more affordable place that's even bigger and better in any other borough. Believe me, you'll still have all the luxury and availability of the city with a much better budget. Definitely try Brooklyn or Queens. You won't be sorry 😀 Happy hunting! Love your videos!

[@bighoss92]

Even Jersey City and Hoboken are good options

came here to write that. Don't move to the city. Bklyn, Queen wayyy better. And i may even be controversial but uptown Manhattan is nice.

[@TheLadyLuck523]

If you can give up the idea of living in Manhattan itself, you could definitely find more affordable rents in the other boroughs. Since you love Arthur Ave so much perhaps an apartment in that area. Or parts of Queens and/or Brooklyn that are very close to Manhattan would work for you. Esp. since you can get some great views of the Manhattan skyline from those places.

As someone who lived in NY for 5 years, and lived everywhere from tiny studios to luxury buildings i will say... you will RARELY use the extravagant building amenities (pool, meeting room, cinema, etc) ...

I feel like you guys should look for an apartment/condo/townhouse/house in Brooklyn or Queens as it's still close enough to Manhattan without Manhattan's prices. Also, you guys should try temporary living. There's a commercial I keep seeing on KZbin that says you can move as often as you want to many cities all over the world, and you move into fully furnished apartments every time you move, you stay as long as you want in one place then move to the next. A month in NYC, three in San Francisco, 2 weeks in San Diego, 2 months in Chicago, then back home to Nashville, or you could find an apartment in one of the cities if you fall in love with the city.

Live where you can afford, live in Nashville, vacation in NYC for 2 weeks every year. Eat the good Italian food while you are visiting. Rent a better unit with a full size range to cook in though.

[@katiek1856]

I’ve lived in a lot of apartments over the years before owning a house. One thing I experienced and seen with recent Tiktok stories is don’t rent a place at your top budget because they could easily raise the rent when your lease renews and you will be hunting for a new place again. Go for the 2nd or 3rd option if you think your budget couldn’t handle an increase the next year or so. I have seen a lot of people with 20%+ increase in rent since the pandemic.

While Manhattan is most definitely expensive, the other boroughs aren’t. Before she had me, my mom lived in the Rego Park/Forest Hills, Queens area and she commuted to work in Manhattan on the M and R. If you don’t mind taking the subway, you can very much live in Queens, Brooklyn or even the Bronx around Arthur Ave. Remember, transit is meant for EVERYONE Another thing to consider is to move to NJ, more specifically urban Hudson County. It still feels like NYC, but not quite. I used to live in Jersey City and I enjoyed the convenience of being right across the Hudson from Manhattan and being able to go there whenever I wanted without having to worry about the price just to commute like I do now for the LIRR. Jersey City, while now pricey due to housing demand, is still cheaper than Manhattan. But neighboring towns like Union City and Weehawken are cheaper and pretty good thanks to transit options.

Raleigh isn’t cheap anymore, not NYC expensive but home prices have really jumped.

Your videos are incredible - thank you!!!

You two should team up with Cash Jordan. He has a KZbin channel dealing in New York City apartments. That would be a fun video.

I'm not surprised that the rent was so high. And those were some decent sized apartments. But if you really want to move to NYC, I'd suggest living in Queens. It's much cheaper. For that amount of rent money you could buy a house and pay the mortgage. Where I live in Queens, it's near enough to drive to Arthur Ave in less than 20 minutes, without traffic. You'd still be close to the city of you wanted to visit but it's nice and quiet. Even if you decide against living in NYC, I'm glad that you enjoyed your time here. Watching your NYC vlogs put a smile on my face. Buona fortuna per quello che fai ❤

You should look in Brooklyn. Great vibe, great spaces, great views, lower rent

[@kathyrapiejko6318]

In a PERFECT world, I would choose Apt. #1. Not inexpensive & slightly small, but it definitely says "NEW YORK CITY"!! But, I think you are smart to wait for now. Maybe rent another nicer VRBO apt you really love. You can visit all your favorite places, enjoy the BIG city vibe as long as you want, , then go back to your restful place in Nashville. Best of both worlds, & a lot less expensive! Wishing you both much happiness in this New Year! I hope all your dreams come true! ❤

MUST HAVE A PART #2

[@joelbrown3479]

Guys look at places in Westchester, you can commute into NYC, little Italy on Arthur Ave, etc... You can have a wonderful place... Bronx Love guyz😎

[@joelbrown3479]

New Rochelle (east part of Westchester) has many new co-ops/ condominiums; commuter rail within walking distance. Western view... Long Island Sound, Southern view... towards NYC, Western view... N.J. Palisades.. Ignore any external pressure to rent in Manhattan... Breathe... Your place will come ✨️ 💛 😎😎😎

That was a really cute video! The rents are sooooooo expensive in NYC!

[@karenhiss1729]

Would love to see you both look at small farms in the country. 😁💕.

Check out Little Italy in the Bronx. Nice affordable pricing and not far from the city. I live there for many years. Although now I’m enjoying the beautiful weather in Florida. Good luck.
