nyc apartment hunting | touring 8 apts (with prices)

[@a.nie.l.a8587]

I think 7th apartment is the best! It’s such a cozy space🌟 8th is cool and I liked it, but bedroom space is so small! I would chose apartment 7🤍

[@saranatale3978]

I agree

[@louisgeo]

same

[@edgar5814]

SAME! That corner in the living room was everything

[@jackiitorres5718]

Agree, 7 looks much better and cozy number 8 bathroom was just not it that weird orange color for that price is not it

[@lucywayland912]

I say apartment 7, it just really stood out and was really pretty and had a great surrounding space! and it was just so clean and nice! oh, I also loved apartment 3 just because it was so unique and the doors are gorgeous! no matter what I think you will find the right apartment! 😊🌷🌿

[@dix10x]

I would feel way more comfortable in the 7th one, because it looks very cosy, the building is really nice and more human scale. I don’t like very high floor. I also liked the 3rd one ! Anyway excited for you !!

[@elenigkana4467]

loving these types of videos!!! I"M ROOTING FOR APARTEMENT 7!!

[@mathepm5296]

appartement 7 seems so good to live in and I think that out of all you asked for, this one definitely completes most of everything and fits you so well !

[@MsPinkbunny123]

Just a note that paying more than first and security up front is illegal. Legislation was passed in 2019 making it illegal for landlords to receive rent up front to protect tenants :)

[@Brownmahfun]

Thank You for that, I did not know this.

[@georgiasmith7615]

This is no longer true. They did pass legislation banning broker’s fees, but the real estate lobby sued and the ban was overturned in 2020. Broker’s fees are still legal in NYC.

[@MsPinkbunny123]

@@georgiasmith7615 there’s no limit on brokers fees. There’s a limit on tenants only being able to pay first and security up front, and not several months of rent to secure an apartment which was mentioned in the video and is illegal. There is no cap on brokers fees. I’m very familiar with NYC tenant laws and I am a native.

[@georgiasmith7615]

It can be a bit confusing though because typically they tell you how much the broker’s fee is in terms of the rent. I paid the equivalent of one month’s rent as the broker’s fee on my place so maybe she was just confused as to what they meant. I don’t see how tenants are being protected if you still have to pay a lot upfront

[@MsPinkbunny123]

@@georgiasmith7615 it depends on what type of apartment you’re looking for. In NYC there are also “no fee apartments”. There is technically still a fee that’s “baked” into your rent. No fee apartments can be better for budgeting because you can more easily filter based on your budget. Renters can choose to look for “no fee” apartments instead of paying standard one months rent (15% of annual rent is typical right now), but competition is fierce for no fee apartments and many people are bidding over asking. The protection was that once you pay x months or a year up front tenants would lose all leverage if someone went wrong and would have to take their landlord to court to get their rent money back, which is lengthy and expensive. No landlord is just going to give a tenant back their money, and this can leave renters is really bad positions monetarily if they find they need to vacate an apartment if it becomes uninhabitable. You can legally withhold rent by putting it into escrow as a way to get a LL to make repairs. If a renter doesn’t have credit, they are sometimes better off subletting (many people will just confirm income) or paying a guarantor company than paying 4+ months rent up front.

[@ninbabeee]

apt 7 looks very cozy...!!! love it

[@christinenoe6287]

I would love to take apartment 7th!! Nice lighting and cozy! The reason 8th is the second choice is due to stairs which might be a bit tiny for you guys for carrying big pieces of furniture.

[@gvantsa-gaprindashvili]

I think 7th apartment is the best, but i loved 1st one also, with big patio, it will be perfect in warmer days.

[@Laythedopest]

Apartment 3 is my favorite 💗 excited for you to enter this new chapter in your life! The feeling of getting a new space of your own is unmatched ✨

[@denverdubois5835]

1, 2 and 7 are all great. Worth the money to have enough space and light since you work from home. No need to rent office space or extra storage space, and think of all the money you'll save NOT spending workdays hanging in cafes LOL. I loved 3 because I'm a vintage nut, though!

[@noraalhh]

im really rooting for apartment 7! it has a really nice view and its cozy. also the kitchen counter tops are so cute!

[@yeahhi3207]

This video doesn’t apply to me at all since I’m in my 20s and still living with my parents but I love you and your videos so much that anything you put out, I’ll watch! Super interesting to see all the types of apartments and gave me ideas on what I want in my future apartment 🥰

[@soyucse51]

I think the 7th apartment has so much character into it and kinda fits your aesthetic. Good luck! Make sure to choose somewhere safe.

[@MicmicJuane]

I personally love the 7th apartment the most! Hopefully you would be able to get one of the units in that building when they're available!

[@Bobrogers99]

For someone who commutes to work or school daily, proximity to the subway would be a "must have", but if you work primarily from home it's not as big an issue. I'd also want to have a reasonably-priced supermarket nearby.

[@jeffreytabois]

Number 7. As a New York City real estate agent, number 7 was the best in my opinion. Light, spacious, renovated, the trifecta!

[@anngepinselt]

apartment 7 is a literal dream! so cozy and really fits your aesthetic ✨

[@emilyadamson3398]

Omg ... my friend lived in the same building as apartment 7!!! He loved it.

[@elisereigner2810]

Apartment 7 has my heart honestly

[@giac123]

1,6, and 7 were my favorites by far!

[@JC-zy5gg]

As a long time New Yorker, NYC specifically, 30 plus years renter, i would say, most, if not almost all of NYC apartments do not have central air and in unit laundry, and for sure the very NYC typical apartments do not have laundry in the building, unless its new, condo or a co-op. its just a very NYC thing to carry your laundry down the block or the nearest laundromat. If you grew up and been renting in NYC for a good amount of time, you will most likely venture out of manhattan and get your money worth in other boroughs like Brooklyn and Queens and we get plenty of good lighting in our space out here.

[@typicalplace805]

I live in a north facing loft apartment similar to the last one and I'll say that I'm glad it's not south facing. During summer because heat travels upwards the apartment can get pretty hot and with direct sunlight it'll trap even more heat so AC cost sounds scary. I get really even bright light all through out the day since I have tall ceiling and windows and have been really happy overall. Just something you might want to note!

[@SDGRG09]

I loved the one close to central park omg the big windows and natural sunlight

[@createdbydwayne]

I'm rooting for the 7th Apartment, it's so cozy. I think things will work out for your style of living. ❤️💚

[@estelitta2001]

I would definitely choose apartment 7th. It’s amazing. Love the kitchen 😍

[@alexandraramon6018]

I love love Apartment 7!!!

[@lizanik8541]

I read comments before video and when we got to 7.... I understood. 😂 it looks amazing! That shot through the windows at the street was amazing, what a homey space

[@iTzDritte]

Getting in-unit laundry in my NYC apartment was the ultimate upgrade splurge, as wild as that is to say 😀

[@lifeasaivilo]

There are so many amazing apartments for 3K. But again it really depends on what you want. Especially in Brooklyn they have some amazing apartments.

[@nickisavage4348]

First apartment is my favorite because of the size and the large patio. My second favorite is apartment #7.

[@grazilima2725]

the 7th is perfect! so prettyyyy!!! 💗💗

[@albms]

Love this video, always get so excited to see you on my subscriptions feed 🥰❤️

[@ShaneyHwang]

i am obsessed with those corner windows in apartment 7!! a dream space

[@victoriajuarez4247]

Honestly I really like the 7th apartment if not the 8th one !!

[@zeynepezgisivas]

3,4,6,7 is my favvvvssss!!!! exicted to see which one you guys choose!

[@linlee5162]

Good luck, 🥳7or8. Omg $$$$ big coin!! Ur gonna miss Cali💖!, You both will make a great decision.Sad to say bye to Cail and hello to NYC. Hugs! 🥰

[@miaramos8489]

The lobby for apartment 8 is to die for!

[@gi_giooo]

its not expensive if you know where to live. location is key but even being a bit farther in Queens is not a big deal, I'm still 20 min from the city and pay 1750 for a one bedroom that is huge!

[@swethaujjvalsrikanth6742]

The 7th apartment was too good. would have picked it up in a heartbeat.

[@mytime3060]

Apartment 7 or 8.. love those two 🥰

[@ItsJoys26]

Apt #8 for sure it’s gorgeous!!

[@yuzulittlesunshine6057]

The 7th apartment is the best to me!

[@sophiaflores8408]

omg i was hopingggg you’d do an apartment searching video!!! ❤️

[@_dearolive]

This is totally not relevant, but I love your style and chill vibes!! 🥰❤️

[@gianna7480]

I really love you videos! Keep it up💗🧚‍♀️

[@philawsophy3197]

instantly apartment 7. im fine with the color of the floor. but yeah,please choose 7. the view is so cozy.

[@defnotcire]

i loved this !!! props to you for filming all of this in the midst of moving across the country (:

[@mvpgale]

apartment 5 & 7 have my heart

[@vicxx404]

the 2th, 7th and 8th were the bests but THE SECOND HAS A WINDOW IN THE BATHROOM that is a big pro

[@jennicajade]

7 and 8 were really nice spaces!

[@Aleftina0]

It’s similar to Michelle Choi. Moving to New York, paying crazy prices for apartments and having Korean food, Korean friends, going to Korean restaurants the same time. The question is: why?

[@whachamamacallit]

Apt 7 is the best imo. Good luck!

[@nsmiley102]

My jaw DROPPED when you showed the 8th kitchen

[@carsonowens7505]

THE YELLOW BATHROOM TILES!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING

[@edgar5814]

7!! I loved the corner in the living room

[@tinamaryland4271]

My personal favorites are 1, 2, and 7. All of them have so much space and windows with such good lighting! I would personally go with 2 since it’s more to my taste.

[@maggiefulop]

i’m obsessed w 7 and 8 omg

[@temellla.]

I think apt #7 was the best one in my opinion. I hope you find a good apartment!

[@kelen7203]

Have lived in LIC for a year now, I love it! Feels much safer than midtown where I used to live, especially after covid

[@brefranco2060]

I'm at the beginning of your video but I just wanted to comment about your must haves list. I've been in an apartment without central AC for a year and I think it is really manageable if you're able to afford and install additional window units. I never thought I could tolerate not having central air but it's no longer a must have for me. I'm in Cincinnati where the midwest weather can get extreme on occasion but it's mostly mild. Disclaimer: I'm from Florida originally so I can take a little heat!

[@elllla27]

i think you use zoom out feature for the video for touring of apartment, which made the apartment not to be seen in its actual sizing and shape, everytime you move, the focus of it moves and hence change the shape of the apartment

[@lifeofliv888]

omg #3 the details im obsessed

[@rachellelui]

just recently visited nyc and i hope to move there someday, loved seeing this video ☺

[@gabriellygavassa5739]

omg apartment 2 is the BESTTTT

[@artisticbuilding6852]

Apt 7 was so dreamy 😍 8 was more 'amazing' but 7 really felt good

[@allyg267]

Excited for you to be back in NYC 🤍

[@monecarodriguez]

I loved apartment 2 so much❤️😍

[@Kim-GTA]

40X the rent?!!!! I have never heard of it being that high! Only above 700 credit score???? Here in Houston it’s 3X the rent and 600+ credit score. Wow. That is wild

[@dajahreese]

i don’t even live in nyc but i lovvveeee these videos

[@joon5569]

i loooove apartment 7, so cosy

[@cambrietaylor9938]

can u make a video on how to build ur closet 💕love ur vids so much💕

[@patriciasean]

Hope whatever apartment you choose will protect and keep you safe! Good luck 💖💖💖

[@jonathanleonard1152]

Wow not able to imagine, see, light on a cloudy day.

[@J.Hill49]

I think I liked 8 the best. But I would kind of do it like a studio and have my bed downstairs, maybe a murphy bed where its a couch when its up, then put an office upstairs.

[@colleenconway5109]

7 is the best. Especially the kitchen

[@sabrinal6645]

these are totally all amazing deals!! my friend is living in a 4000 studio on high floor in a new building. But feel like it's already a miracle you can find 1 bedroom with 4000 in manhattan!

[@kiraalaa]

I liked #8!! Maybe another unit in the building with a south facing window will pop up!!

[@Heunjx]

aw 7th apartment is really nice!!!!!

[@kathyabdo5837]

Number one for the patio! Can you share what building that is in or general address?

[@mysticlight_d36]

I love that 7th apertment 🤩🤩🤩

[@dancestar722]

A little surprised you were set on Midtown. For your budget you for sure could've done 2 bedrooms in Brooklyn

[@yoshikohiguchi4801]

been following you since your ootd videos. So nice to see ur channel growing!

[@bluedinosaurss]

my fav is 8!! so unique :)

[@simplyshama]

In the UK you could be living on the poverty line and your place would still have a washing machine in the kitchen. So odd to sell a place without a basic necessity! The only time we have shared laundry is when we're in university accommodation.

[@yournanna866]

I’m all about the outdoor space…number 1

[@kaylinthealien]

The first one 😭 of course it’s out of budget that’s my fav

[@erikaperez3471]

The 2nd, 6th and 7th are the best

[@Karebearstare]

Omg $4k for a 1 bedroom is insane. I pay $2550 for 730 sq ft in DC and it’s already considered a luxury apartment price point. Definitely need a roomie or bf if I ever make the move to nyc lol. Apt 7 & 8 are def better options.

[@yoliezackschewski9406]

Omg you’re coming back !! I loved your apartment tour because I’ve lived in queens my whole life and always see other apartments in other states and cities with so much more and less rent 😭😭😭 but I wanted to tell you that I got the marble table you have in your living room because I loved it so much from your video !!! My fiancée and I are looking for a 2 bedroom condo and my must have is an open kitchen, lighting , and a laundry in unit. I want to be spoiled with my laundry in unit 😅 I love apartment 7!! I was always curious how those apartments in LIC looked because I work over there by the Pepsi sign! I thought they would be larger !

[@pate5271]

everyone’s saying 7 and 8 but i lowkey fell in love with 2

[@inesmanique9961]

number 7 is the one!!

[@ΜαρίαΚρικώνη-χ4φ]

Loved apartment 7 😍

[@riwasayed9464]

Favs are 2,6 and 7

[@miaramos8489]

holly shit, apartment 8 is EVERYTHING!!!

[@creoloko]

#1 and #7 were my favorites!

[@fbdance120]

the 2nd and 8th are my favorite

[@Negguhyah.]

I would choose 7th apartment!

[@juliejames3338]

loved looking at all the different appartments; We are going through a similar process moving from central France to the south of france; We want to rent a house, budget of around 750.00 euros, but they are hard to find; Thankyou for sharing these, and i am new to your channel; good luckx

[@pattihusk8181]

Apts 7 & 8 were very nice and spacious!
