REALISTIC NYC APARTMENT HUNTING (tours + prices)! Touring 6 Manhattan apartments between $1850-2000

[@DDee-oi6kn]

Loved #5! The rent prices were definitely lower in the ones you showed today - Yes girl - always go with your gut feelings! You don't want on top of a restaurant - rat problems. Praying for you!

[@nk.medani]

Omg I never thought about that for the above restaurant one!! And yes I felt on my heart that I needed to keep looking! Thank you!💗

[@216Vonnie]

It’s crazy to me that people that are not from NYC truly believe that Harlem is not safe. Most crimes actual happens downtown in the supposedly good neighborhoods.

[@nk.medani]

I believe that!

[@216Vonnie]

@@Usycjsga17 Do you know her to have such a harsh opinion of her? If you do KZbin is not the place to voice your grievances. Call her and work it out.>🙏🏽

[@katelynteffner]

She didn't say anything specifically to her or about her that was anywhere near harsh. lol, she was generally speaking she said people not ​the person making the video. Stop trying to get op attention. And the creator even agreed with her @216Vonnie

[@kimjones2159]

The last 2 were my favorite. Love the views.

[@nk.medani]

Yes I was shocked!!

[@wilmasaunderson2906]

Loved 5 & 6, good luck, rooting for you ❤

[@nk.medani]

Thank you!!!💗

[@kellzflo3676]

Yes, yes! This is great news. The last two seemed to really put a smile on your face 😁 so happy for you

[@nk.medani]

Thank you kellz!! They definitely did!!💗

[@judithryle2113]

5 is really nice. Love the elevator and wonderful laundry room

[@nk.medani]

Yes I like it too!

[@simplyakil]

I watched all 12 videos good luck and thank you for sharing. I’m just starting my search and you were one of the few realistic videos out. I hope you get approved 👏🏿

[@nk.medani]

Aw wow I can’t believe there were 12 I lost count!! Thank you for coming along this journey! & good luck to you on your journey!

[@mahoganydrive]

I see why everyone said 5 and 6. And you looked really excited in number 6. They both look clean, cute kitchens, nice views, nice bathroom. Not dank and busted like so many of those other ones. I’d live there. And I’m picky. Good luck!

[@nk.medani]

Thank you!! And yes I completely agree with your thoughts as well!!

[@Clardia]

Omg I love the 2 last apartments!! I really hope you’ll get one of them! 💕🙏🏾

[@nk.medani]

Thank you!!

[@ctygrl]

Your video was suggested to me because I watch so much NYC content - glad I came across it! Thank you so much for sharing your journey of apt hunting in your specific price range. 🙌🏻🙏🏻 I want to move there in the next year and that would be my budget also, so your vid is incredibly helpful! Now to subscribe and binge watch your other vids lol Can't wait to see where you end up! 🫶🏼

Thank you!! 💗

[@jsmith5509]

Sad to say, lately the safety issue is IN the subways, AFTER you get there! I hope you find something that you feel is "THE ONE!!!"

[@nk.medani]

Yes I’m hearing what’s been happening lately & it’s so sad to see. No matter where I am I know there are things outside of my control, but I’m taking all the steps I have control of in this situation

[@jsmith5509]

@@nk.medani , I agree!

[@RAHHicecream]

What do you mean in the subways after you get there? I’m trying to move too and I want to understand these things

[@nk.medani]

@@RAHHicecream you guys have to be mindful of what’s happening in the subways. Don’t be on your phone and look around. Most stations are fine!

[@stylesbyd1545]

Sooo excited for you!!!

[@nk.medani]

Thank you!!❤

[@shestargirl8479]

It literally cost an arm and a leg to rent here. The current place my fam is negotiating is 3575 gross, so that's 3575 for first month and security before it nets down to 2822 for a 19-month lease. Damn near 10k...

[@nk.medani]

Those prices are crazy!!

[@electriquenikki]

Girlie!!! How are you finding units in Manhattan for $1850?!!!! SO SO good. My mouth just hit the ground when #5 came on, that window, the kitchen, the layout, bathroom super clean OMGGGG! And #6 floors, PERFECT kitchen and tiled bathroom i LOVE IT. This is an EXCELLENT overview love it!

[@stevetate6897]

I lived in that last building , when it was built. in the 70's

[@sybookman8364]

I really like the last apartment

[@donovanj.greening4047]

You did an excellent Job creating this video with a very thorough analysis. Wishing you luck from Michigan

[@melissamoore9764]

Like others are saying I loved apts 5&6. Are those the 2 apts you applied to? Hoping you were able to get one of them. If that's what you want. Continued prayers for you.💜

[@nk.medani]

I share about the ones I apply for in the upcoming videos! Thanks for the well-wishes :)

[@Snoopymel02]

Omg apt 5&6 for sure.

[@nk.medani]

Those are good ones!

[@lifenmovies]

Hey NK! New subscriber. I'm moving back home in 2 months and I have been looking on StreetEasy and Zillow, but I have not found anything in the under $2k range as you showed in this video; can you share what platform you are using for your search?

[@nk.medani]

Hi! I used both street easy and Zillow! I didn’t put a bedroom filter so this is a mix of studios and 1br. It also depends on the area in which you’re looking! I set mine for all of Manhattan. Hope that helps & good luck!!

[@chi2om]

Omg the last 3 did seem promising. I would love more details about them. Sid they require broker fees? Is the area good etc. Hopefully you get accepted for both you applied for. That way you can really make the choice of what calls to you

[@nk.medani]

Will be sharing more about them in the next few vlogs! And thank you!

[@crystalgallman7315]

I like apt5,6

[@nk.medani]

They are good ones!

This is why people are leaving Manhattan and going to Forest Hills ,Riverdale ect....

[@nk.medani]

I totally understand!!

I may go to college in Forest Hills.So I will have to move there.

[@iveperez9878]

Apt. 5 and 6

[@nk.medani]

Those were nice!

[@KristyLee-f1p]

Wow! How did you find the nice apartments 5 and 6? Never see those on street easy

[@nk.medani]

All were on street easy! You just have to look regularly

[@CatsSaveTheWorldForSure]

#5 is good!!

[@brigittetaylor1646]

Wow, I feel for you Girlie. But, you must be realistic in your search. I just closed on my house today. My Realtor only did soft credit pulls until my loan application was submitted. Keep your head up. Philly is down the road and cheaper. You can travel to and from Philly. It's an option. New York and Philly became too expensive. I moved to another city, own my home now, with a great job. Good luck on your search.

[@nk.medani]

Congrats on your new home!! 💗

[@donnaiara]

5 and 6 got it for me

[@TheAbxgirl]

In Harlem the 4,5 and 6 lines 110 116 and 125? Yikes zombieland West Harlem on the 1 and 2 train a wee bit better not so zombie and on street easy look for no fee filters

[@nk.medani]

I filtered for no fee and found some good ones to view!

[@shadowess1961]

Girl, these ratchet landlords with their ratchet apts from the 1980's kill me asking for the rent they're asking for AND they don't even bother to clean them for viewing! They know someone will eventually rent it. Hold out for what you want, your apt will appear. Apts 5 and 6 though. Sending luck!

[@nk.medani]

I couldn’t agree more!! After all these viewings, the amount of bad apartments I walked into was shocking!!! And thank you for the well wishes!

[@NaviKhera-n8d]

Hi!!! How did you find all these apartments? Were they all through StreetEasy? Also, how many of them were 1 bedroom vs 0 bedrooms (condo)?

[@nk.medani]

@@NaviKhera-n8d hi! I go through the whole process in my other apartment hunting videos! Most were on street least & a mix of 1 bedroom/studios

[@rocket4444]

these have to be in upper manhattan because there's no way lol

[@nk.medani]

why do you choose to assume, rather than understand that there are various apartment prices all around manhattan, especially based on time of year. That is a very narrow-minded view you have.

[@rocket4444]

​@@nk.medani first of all, i grew up here. nothing like a transplant trying to school a native on my own city. who do you think you are? second of all, i implore you to please re-read my comment and reach far in your brain to figure out why you are finding it offensive. i can take a guess - you, yourself, find living in upper manhattan something to be ashamed of so you're projecting it onto me. you cannot rent an apartment in lower manhattan close in size to the ones you showed for under $2k in 2024 and that is a fact.

[@maroonrebel]

Jah & Jahes love sista. Thanks for a great video about your most current apartment search in our beloved city of New York-the Big Apple! I loved the last 4 apartments that you toured and I felt that they were a great price. I wish I could apply for them as well. My voucher is enough to pay for that amount. Are you working with a realtor? And, you seem more relaxed, what did you and your current property owner decide to do? I guess you are staying at the place for some time much longer did they renew the lease? I hope and pray that your applications are approved and that you get your dream apartment where you will become the woman you seek to be. I just want you to fall in love, move in together, and get married. Blessed love.#1804#Ayiti#ToutMounseMoun#DefundFosterCare#ProChoice#RawVeganforLife#HRES40NOW#220YearsFREE#HandsOffAyiti#FreeAyiti

[@Kniveschowyas]

To live really comfortably and in a safe or “young/hip” area, you have to have dual income in Manhattan. Otherwise it’s just insanity.

[@nk.medani]

And the reality is, most people aren’t in this position!

[@radhamusprime8563]

Who are you are you talking to about Central Harlem? Girl. The slander. They got you shook and misinformed. Someone from Harlem needs to school you. There is so much beauty here. Smdh.

[@nk.medani]

??? Literally no one uttered a WORD about central Harlem as a whole. If you listened to the video I was referring to the 1 street out of an entire HUGE neighborhood (1 section of one street: 125th Harlem subway station) & as a woman, I want to feel SAFE while walking home. A very rational thing to want, right?? I know there’s beauty there & many people know that too. No one said anything to combat this, but your comment was very out of line. Please don’t come on to people’s videos and assume! You’re doing harm for no reason.

[@radhamusprime8563]

Exact quote from your video “The place I went to today was in Central Harlem. I was told to avoid 125th street simply because a lot of things happen around there” do you know how big 125th street is? You didn’t say 125th and Lexington or anything specific. these kinds of sentiments shared on these kinds of platforms are very misleading and hurtful to this community. IM FROM HERE so nothing I say to defend the image of this community is out of line. This is the second video I’ve seen of yours where you mischaracterize or say something negative about Harlem. So I’m not out of line. How am I causing harm by disputing your misguided claims and defending the image of my neighborhood. I’m VERY in step with someone from here who is tired of it constantly being mischaracterized.

[@nk.medani]

@@radhamusprime8563 and again, you completely took it out of context. No one discredited the beauty! You made that statement on your own. I’ve said in many videos I want to feel safe walking home, and yes you can look up the many videos of others saying similar things to what I’ve said. This is not an isolated statement! So do not target me and say that I am saying things that are “out of line” when this is not factual. And hopefully you are keeping this same energy to the countless other videos who statement the same sentiment, otherwise you look like a bully for being negative to only me. While you’re at it, go watch this video & read the comments (iheartnella’s comment in specific, and the thread that follows). And since you feel so inclined, comment on the video too! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL2YjRXW/. And for the last time: I was referring to the train station distance and feeling safe walking home! Do not try to twist my words and make it sound like I said anything other than that.

[@radhamusprime8563]

I am not twisting your words I am using a DIRECT QUOTE from YOUR video. Did you watch it? You did not clarify which part of 125th street you are talking about that made you feel unsafe. You said you were told to avoid 125th street which cuts across from east to west. I’m not bullying you. Bullying would entail picking apart your character or personal appearance. I simply said what YOU said is harmful and misleading. Yea maybe I called you out. That is not bullying. I did not misconstrue of twist your words. I gave YOUR VERY OWN words right back to you. And instead of looking at how what you said is ill informed (please watch your vid again where u didn’t specify what part of 125th street made you feel unsafe) you are deflecting and calling me a bully. How do you know I don’t call out other people for doing the same? But why even bring them into it? So sad that you’re more interested in my being a bully then my being someone from the community saying to you “hey what youre said about my neighborhood is harmful” no desire to even see how you might be contributing to a stereotype. But no worries. Best of luck on your search. As I said in a previous video, if you want to link with some great realtors who can share wonderful rentals in central Harlem. I got you. I hope you find the apartment of your dreams.

[@nk.medani]

@@radhamusprime8563 the one thing I did not specify is what part of 125th street. Yes, this was a blanket statement, but how I said it in no way meant to harm! If you really watch all my videos (all the way through), there is no question that I am intentional and kind with how I come off. If you read all the comments I get on my videos, it’s further validated. Given you’re from the area, I see how you took that statement personally. If you came into my comments with more grace, instead of how you did end up commenting, this would have been a completely different conversation from the start. But unfortunately, I have been met with a handful of people over the years who have nothing but negativity, and I took your comment moreso as an attack rather than a genuine display of emotion. So, I apologize that this upset you the way it did. I did in no way mean to cause anger or frustration around your home. Moving forward I will watch how I share information and be more sensitive to that.
