[@spacheco92]

Great video! Native New Yorker here - born and raised. I’d like to make a couple of comments for people considering moving to NYC or just curious about the housing market here. First and foremost, yesss, rent is expensive here so pls stop saying you could get a mortgage for a much larger house (in the middle of nowhere) for less than the asking rent in NYC. Believe me, if there weren’t people willing to pay these high rents, landlords wouldn’t be charging this much. Secondly, law of supply and demand. We just don’t have enough apartments and that drives prices up. Over the next ten years, New York will need an estimated 800,000 new homes in order to make up for decades of underproduction, support a growing economy, and provide housing that's affordable for New York families. Moving on to the actual apartments themselves. Space is a precious and rare commodity. This is one the reasons why we have so many tall buildings and skyscrapers. We started running out of space horizontally so we started building vertically. So yes, bedrooms and bathrooms are a lot smaller compared to what you’re used to in other cities. Don’t expect to have a double vanity sink or a walk-in closet (super rare) unless we’re talking about ultra luxury apartments. Kitchens are smaller and don’t tend to have a pantry. Countertop space is limited. Living rooms tend to be on the smaller size as well so don’t expect to fit a dining table. Lastly, don’t be afraid to look beyond Manhattan. You don’t have to live in the “city” to experience New York. As long as you live next to a reliable subway line, everything is just a train ride away.

[@conquerordie230]

NYC has a surplus of vacant apartments since the pandemic.

[@spacheco92]

@@conquerordie230 I’m assuming you’re referring to vacant rent-stabilized apartments that aren’t up to code and therefore can’t be rented out.

[@Bloom2Grow]

Same here in Southern California especially LA county you won’t find nice counter tops, space, laundry hook up, dish washer or walk in closet unless you’re looking at a “luxury” (and I say that loosely) apartment/condo that’s gonna run you a 4-5k a month!!!! 😢 everything is a luxury here.

Interesting. I live in the Northern VA area and we have a ton of NYC transplants living and working down here. nice people. They always tell me that the price you see has a hidden "under the table" amount you must pay the building supervisor in order to be considered for the apartment. Is that still true or is that something that only happened in the past?

[@suelyons531]

I lived in NYC for 5 years in a luxury apartment. You truly get what you pay for and it matters.The gym and pool at the top of my building were my life. I'm not going to apologize for the life I wanted to live back then because I worked my ass off to deserve it. I deserved it. Live your best life.

Inflation is far more harmful to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel.

[@citydesk4527]

For the last one bedroom in the East Village, with a little creativity and a divider you could make the living area a bedroom and the designated bedroom a living area to take advantage of the light.

[@jj-if6it]

Great idea, as it's more important to have light in the living areas IMO, and privacy in the bedrooms

[@alexius23]

I was Born in Brooklyn. My parents shared a good size apartment on Riverside Drive on the West Side of Manhattan with my Grandmother.. Eventually, parents moved to the Midwest. My grandmother soon came under rent control & remained in the apartment until she passsd.. I heard that the apartment building went condo. Originally there were 2 apartments per floor. During the change to condo it was common to convert the 2 apartments into one unit just under 3000 square feet. I would occasionally check the Condos web page. I then saw that unified apartment, where we once lived, was for sale. Asking price was $4.3 million dollars. I checked a short later & the apartment had been sold.

Great video!! However it boggles the mind how these buildings have the audacity to charge so much for rent and then charge to use the amenities. With how much you pay for rent the amenities should be included.

[@jasonfournier]

It's what the market will bare. Just like the high rent prices. If they had high vacancies then prices would drop.

[@WishAtElevenEleven]

I actually like that they separate it because a lot of people never use the amenities so it’s good that you can decide whether they are worth the up charge or not, rather than everyone likely being forced to pay more in rent if they didn’t separate it.

[@soniamorales2562]

The rents in New York are outrageous. I will never forget what a CFO at my credit union (lived in New York prior to working in Texas) said that you have to make six figures all the time. I will stick to my home which I own. Not a worry about paying rent. I did rent to be closer to a job and could do it again and still keep my home. The only advantage to renting is getting a job wherever you like.

[@davejohnson-yi2rk]

That's NOT the only advantage. Had a relative who HAD to buy a home in the middle of nowhere. He could afford it with a high paying political job. Suddenly, his state's governor was defeated in the election. My cousin moved to Washington DC. ONLY - he couldn't sell his house at ANY price! It took him a full 10 YEARS!! No not a typo! IF he had rented, he would've saved a shiteload of $$$. OWNING is often NOT The answer! Renting allows you to be mobile!

Wow, the Dime is really nice. Other than that, I like the FiDi spaces the best. As a native New Yorker, those prices are actually not bad for the current market. This just happens to be a time when rents are quite high. I also would go for an elevator, doorman building. It does help with safety, getting packages, etc. All the best in your decision making, and I can’t wait to see what your final choice is.
