NYC Apartment Hunting w/ Prices | Financial District

[@otberbur]

This video inspired me to do some computation and research. To wit: 12 months’ rent for a studio apartment at the midpoint of Jake’s budget = $43,800 (unrealistically assuming brokerage and transaction costs at zero)\ One year’s out-of-state tuition at Rutgers: $36,000 100 round trips per year WTC-New Brunswick via NJ Transit: $1120 That’s $82,920 per year, with no allowance for food or clothing, much less skin-care supplies. By comparison, the average salary in New York City - for those who work full-time - is about $74,000. An interesting contrast!

Thank you for taking along to see your life and updates. You’ve grown so much over the last three years. Love you 😘

[@jakeeldridge]

Aw thank you!

[@LavenderUnite]

Hello could you make a video in Douglas, Ga district not only exploring but also get to know the district and meet new people.

[@colinbaxter4732]

Good luck Jake! I hope you get the unit you want! 😊

[@jakeeldridge]

Thank you!

[@badtzmaru-x3j]

FiDi is a great neighborhood very walkable and the quiet is nice at night. the seaport area seems to be picking back up, along with pier 17.

[@RodrigoValdesC]

Wishing you a Wonderful Holiday season.

[@jakeeldridge]

Thank you, You as well!!

[@jkj-ep4pd]

How are you affording a $4k/month apartment while in school? Most people cannot afford that while working full-time.

[@karebeareats]

I work 2 jobs and I'm looking at apartments in the bay area for $1800 or less.

[@David18406]

Wealthy family. Also probably why he looks 25

[@gjcwwetna]

Family money plus he gets influencer money

[@Duane_514]

I love the people answering on his behalf as if they have access like that…😅

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your apartment tour. I agree with you about having a washer & dryer in the units. Hope you can have the apartment that ypu want. And yes, Merry Christmas to you. 🎅 🥂

[@jakeeldridge]

Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@davidvriesenga1107]

So are you going to commute to Jersey? My husband and I moved from Brooklyn (Park Slope) to Bloomfield NJ - only because we knew we were moving to Europe 8 months later. The commute was horrible.

[@bryanrivera7405]

Nice apartments Jake! Hoping you get the one you wanted! Here’s to NYC living! 🎊 🎉😊

[@jakeeldridge]

Thank you!!

[@omarinuel]

"I'm not Mai Pham out here, tryna find apartment in my beautiful edited videos" is so real omg hahaha - love MAII

[@matthewstraughn3539]

I hope you get the apartment with the construction, honestly, I would've made the same choice. Thank you for providing general locations and prices, I cannot stand "apartment hunting videos" without general locations and prices. It's nice to know what the going rate is for certain areas.

[@jakeeldridge]

Thank you! Agreed, I NEED the details too so wanted to provide them haha. Happy Holidays!

[@TrainsFerriesFeet]

I liked the finishes in the 1st place, but no gym would suck because gym memberships in NYC are crazy. Besides, having a 24 hour gym in my building means I never have an excuse. Good luck on the search.

[@paulmoreno6279]

Happy Monday from Palm Beach Florida awesome guy

[@jonparkus7307]

Hi Jake Congratulations I love your new apartment, I do have Question, are you bringing BMW to City, and is parking available at the Building. You slayed it, you motivate me to do a lot every Day. Jon P

[@jakeeldridge]

Thank you! I have not fully figured out the car yet but the building does have parking

[@jonparkus7307]

@ Jake one thing to consider, is do you really need a car? I think if I was in the City I would not want one. Subways Uber takes you anywhere. Jon P

[@masonkufahl8407]

Are you transferring to a school in the city? Going back and forth is going to get exhausting. Also make sure you have 6+ month security saving in case something happens, cause once you sign, you’re in it for a while. I live in the west village, and you can find something in your budget here. Highly highly recommend avoiding Fidi for your first apartment

[@markgreene3483]

You did not mention anything about parking. Did any of the buildings have their own parking garages or will you have to rent a space in a stand-alone parking garage?

[@jakeeldridge]

Yess I forgot to talk about it haha but the building I applied for does have parking.

[@markgreene3483]

@@jakeeldridge Excellent. Hope you get the one you applied for!!😀

[@michaelmetcalf2715]

Happy Holidays 🎉⛄🎄🎉🎊✨

[@jakeeldridge]

Thank you, you too!

[@user-qi3yg7vi9b]

Good luck Jake. My nephew lived on both John St.. and Water St. I would pick Water St. but I know you'll do fine

[@treyhammer8837]

I hope you find a nice apartment in a SAFE neighborhood!!! Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

[@jakeeldridge]

Thank you! Wishing you the same

[@moinuddin.k5957]

I’m also thinking of moving to the financial district area around Spring after I graduate so this really helped as someone’s who’s also looking at apartments

[@JohnHughes-r1h]

[@jakeeldridge]

[@greggor_48]

[@goldfaust8613]

How on earth will you be paying for those apartments? Are your parents helping with the rent?

[@TrainsFerriesFeet]

I think we better get him to 100k subscribers, pronto.

[@ytrebollar2907]

[@jakeeldridge]

No just me paying as of rn unless sh!t hits the fan haha. I want to continue to fully support myself

[@jakeeldridge]

hahaha slow and steady we will get there. Happy Holidays!!

[@ryanscottlogan8459]

How handsome you are!Merry Christmas!Happy Holidays!😊

[@umitencho]

The price bump is probably due to the area/neighborhood.

[@zeleehom]

Laundry in unit is a must, good luck

[@everythinggoes850]

You get way more bang for buck in Fidi. I'd also move to Fidi.

[@2binspired2]

What is your best baked good?

[@jakeeldridge]

Ooh Cinnamon Caramel Apple bars

[@2binspired2]

@@jakeeldridge that does sound yum! I'll pick up mine when I arrive in NYC once you get settled lol

[@lukenorris6377]

[@savethecoconutgroveplayhou548]

Come stay with me in Miami on the water. Two bedroom. Best amenities. All the space.

[@dougl945]

[@RamonDesantis]

L.A. would have been perfect for your personality. You are so vibrant and engaging with people. Congratulations

[@jakeeldridge]

Thank you! Maybe ill move to LA one day :)

[@RamonDesantis]

@ I’m sure you will meet your future husband in L.A. There are many good looking guys here. I met my Husband in San Diego in 2010 and we have been happily married since. In the meantime, enjoy your new happiness and may God always reward you.

[@dabpcc]

Fidi is a great neighborhood.

[@Dragonmoon1598]
