apartment hunting in NYC! | touring 6 apartments w/ prices // DREAM LOFT w/ backyard...

[@MorbidTranquility]

As a Native New Yorker, I gotta say, you’ll get a lot more for your money and space if you leave downtown Manhattan. The Upper East Side will surprise you with affordability and size in comparison to downtown. The Upper West Side is also more affordable in comparison but also a bit pricier than the UES. And it goes without saying that you’ll get more bang for your buck if you venture outside of Manhattan. I think there are many neighborhoods in Queens and Brooklyn you would like. LIC, Astoria, and Sunnyside (in Queens) come to mind. And in BK-Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Boerum Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, etc. You get the neighborhood feel and city amenities without the Manhattan prices and small spaces. Also they’re a pretty close to Manhattan via train & ferry too. So you get the best of it all. It makes NYC a much more realistic option to move to when you explore more “affordable” neighborhoods, in comparison to SoHo anyway lol. 😅

[@MorbidTranquility]

@Rachel Forshee - I disagree with your assessment . She can choose to live wherever she wants, and as a born and bred New Yorker I can give her advice should she choose to live here. I don’t know her financial portfolio, but she can also purchase a place instead of renting, just not in the neighborhoods she’s looking in.

[@jasmineescalante2794]

Thanks for posting this I rather know what neighborhoods are more peaceful and affordable from someone whose born and raised in NYC, it gives me hope for someday living there🙂

[@nikikhojandi9485]

Thanks so much for the info🥰

[@mikaylaperryman1368]

Ummmm thank you A LOT FOR THIS😍planning my move to new york and this helped ❤️

[@emilybrown2806]

Yes, especially the Yorkville area of the UES, it's cheaper than the trendy parts of Brooklyn and Queens too.

[@jessbailey1]

I love getting to see the world through you. You look so happy and I love it 💗

[@tiffanyshockley8469]

Can we all gasp in unison that it’s already been a YEAR AND A HALF since the last NY apartment hunting video?! 🤯

[@lmt16]

these prices are honestly shocking wow. i do not get how people live or justify paying that. especially renting you are just throwing money away so crazy

[@carolschneider1404]

For $8500 a month you could live in an amazing huge house and be buying it. I just can’t justify that kind of money ever for such a space. Imo

[@stephb3321]

I think it’s the thrill of living in NYC. For that price tag, though, not sure how worth it it is.

[@carolinatorres7575]

8,500 x 12 (months) is 102,000. Imagine making more than that and still living in a tiny apartment. And that was just rent! those people probably make $150,000+

[@LipstickOCD]

I'm in nyc. It's just that. The fact that you're in nyc, the best city in the world. I mean, you can get a asian hooker delivered to your door on new year's eve at midnight. Can't do that anyplace else🤣🤣🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@atamburlaine]

Most people who live in NYC have more sense than to pay that price, I assure you. The people who are doing that are either "afraid" of Brooklyn or have money to burn and simply don't care.

[@queens6583]

Always enjoy seeing Manhattan apartments and the crazy prices and layouts. The beauty of NYC is that you can live in a nearby borough and get a bigger and cheaper apt. and still have easy access to Manhattan. This way you can have the bustle of Manhattan and then go home to a suburb. My daughter's friend who has 2 kids just rented a 3 bedroom, 2 bath very large apt. in Forest Hills Queens for $3700. Unfortunately they can't afford to buy a house in their price range right now, so they'll try to save more towards a down payment. I hate the way landlords cut up apts. and have fireplaces in the corner of a room or some other awkward place.

[@jann3443]

I cant believe a year and a half has gone by since that first NY apt tour! Soho apartment #4 😘! I can't fathom $8500 a MONTH for an apt. though. Even $4200! 😳.

[@Mandilynn223]

Every time I see how my fellow New Yorkers live I feel so fortunate for my house and my yard 😂🤣. Love these. It’s so fascinating to see all the apartments and different living spaces.

[@Tracylyn42]

Me too. That second apt I was just like WHAT 5,000.00 a month ridiculous in my mind.

[@stephb3321]

Same. We just paid our house off two years ago. I can’t imagine renting at these prices.

[@merlin2946]

Same I have a 4 bedroom home with three full bathrooms and a loft and my mortgage is 1700 lol I am beyond lucky. And it was a new construction built,

[@livemorenorth]

nothing like living in the city could care less how big my house is when its in the middle of nowhere 😂

[@Tracylyn42]

@@livemorenorth I don’t care about small it’s the cost of the small that amazes me

[@szuruike3312]

Apartment #2 was my favourite I loved the brick wall, the stairs, and the overall layout. I actually liked the lighting it made it gloomy in a good way.

I would never want to live in NY - and those prices help solidify that 😂 Cool video though! Thanks for showing what it looks like.

[@jenna08rae]

This camera quality wow!

[@jacky8695]

Apartment #4 is seriously crazy wowwww Those views, the trees, I love it 😭

[@chrissymoss514]

Goodness, the monthly rent is so expensive!! I'd rather pay a mortgage - sorry, I'm just stunned at the prices for such a small amount of space. Thanks for taking us with you on the apartment hunt journey, it was really interesting (and eye opening) 🫨 Love ya 💗💜💗

[@queens6583]

True. However many young people don't have the down payment money plus closing costs to buy a home.

[@pippysplaytime1234]

Buying is a even more money

[@chrissymoss514]

@queens6583 , it's exactly the same here in the UK. When I was younger it was so cheap to rent a one bedroomed apartment, whereas mortgages were expensive. My initial comment was very much "tongue in cheek" - British sarcasm, sorry. The greed of the landlords for private accommodation is sickening (in the UK), they will continue to raise the cost of renting unless my government makes some much needed changes to certain laws. Thankfully, I own my home but my son experienced the "private landlord greed" first hand. It creates a catch 22 situation, in that people cannot save for a mortgage deposit AND rent privately. Which was why my son had to return home - just to be able to save up the deposit needed. I totally understand that not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to return home or, indeed, earn enough to allow them to put money aside. It's very difficult for todays young people.

[@queens6583]

@@chrissymoss514 So true!

[@stephb3321]

@@pippysplaytime1234 at least with buying, you’ll eventually own your home. Renting is money going to someone else and not profiting you at all.

[@JrBaconCheeseburger]

I literally just finished watching your first NYC apartment tour video with the $2 million listing. I’ve been wanting to move to NYC since I was a kid- so it’s awesome to live vicariously through you!

[@danip3270]

I visited NYC for the first time in 2021. On a whim. I always wanted to live there when I was young. I flew into Philadelphia and rented a car. I drove up to Manhattan, clueless where to go. I drove around a bit, and left. I was pretty pleased with myself for daring to drive there. Since then I’ve driven all over Manhattan twice now. I’ll probably never live there, but I’m proud of myself for visiting and seeing the city. If you can give yourself even a 3 day weekend, do it. As a novice, I’d recommend flying into JFK and renting an Uber to drop you off somewhere in the city. Get a hotel for a couple days and just wander around and walk. Let the Uber take you back to the airport when you’re done. You’ll be glad you did.

[@chuckiea7011]

If you're looking to live in NYC. Check out other areas outside of Manhattan because you'll get more bang for your buck. Don't just settle for Manhattan.

[@andreajimenez6053]

I lived in Jersey and loved visiting . Only 30ish’ minutes away and I loved that live tbh 🥺

[@hazellem17]

I've never been so early 😋 I love watching you enjoy life and travel the world!🫶🏼

[@nancyquixotic2422]

How about Brooklyn? We stayed in Chinatown and spent most of our time in Brooklyn last time we went. It was so charming and lots of mom and pop restaurants. Id love to see an apartment there. Love these!

[@le4905]

Those prices are *not* the vibe.

[@rl8839]

I have no desire to ever live in a city, but these are so fascinating to watch!

[@stevieray7203]

So expensive!!

[@misslinguinni]

You look so angelic in the intro. You are absolutely glowing, and what a beautiful spring day with the birds chirping!

[@kareyreuben3869]

Love these videos, they are fun to watch. I enjoy the outside look of the buildings, too, so much variety and character. Thank you for publishing these.

[@totesmcgotes16]

Definitely apartment number 4! I have to disagree with you on painting brick white though! It makes me sooo sad. Takes away from the character but that's just in my opinion 😊

[@epicperson2749]

Right white brick makes me violently sick it’s so ugly imo

[@singlehandedbeauty3581]

Nooooo. Don't paint the brick! Ha ha! It's so pretty as is. Just add light furniture. Paint those cabinets though.

[@Keriberryxo]

So interesting to see the different apts and prices! No plans to move to NY anytime, I’ve never even visited for that matter lol but I do love watching these videos!

[@mahoganydrive]

I enjoyed seeing these that had character and unique qualities. In The luxury high rise apt tour videos they all look the same. That being said aside from the two newly remodeled ones they look so grimy! I’d have to clean and scrub for days just to think about living there. Especially for those prices.

[@hannahkayee831]

That's what I thought they all look super dirty and gross besides 2 of them.

[@najetteroberts5553]

Love Anthony Park!!! ❤️. Definitely love #4. Holy cow! Beautiful 😍. Love when you do these. They are amazing. You really could do just that for a living showing off apartments. It is fascinating to me how expensive they are a month. That is more than I pay for my mortgage for an entire house!! 😮

😊

The perfect timing of this video upload is just, chef's kiss. Thanks for all you do Taylor!

[@hedyschiff5219]

The apartment situation in NY is insane. My son is a medical resident (so think low pay) and has to rent and finding something was crazy. Between the prices and the co-op boards wow!

Funny you say that, I'm a born and raised Floridian and think about leaving all the time. Not for those prices and lack of sunshine! The apartments (and Taylor ofc) are lovely though❤

[@kimmip5927]

The end was the best 😆 that rooftop and loft style was incredible!

[@lilynguyen7782]

For everyone complaining about the rent prices, I get it. NYC is expensive and that is a fact but I would rather live in NYC than live in the boring suburbs in the Midwest. For people that don’t get it, you’re not going to get it. I would be much happier in NYC paying more than living in the suburbs.

[@AveMaria-js9bu]

LOVED the apartment with the backyard. Just incredible... Lived in Long Island most of my life and commuted to the city. If ever I could have afforded that apartment, I would have signed the lease there and then!

[@catewashington626]

#4 was gorgeous!! That backyard and the actual fireplace 😍 definitely my fave too

Anthony and Taylor are both such cute people omg. Also, Florida real estate prices near any decent sized city SUCK rn.

[@Patti-1962]

One of my children and their family just bought a house in Chicago.... where they are moving in June! They live in NY right now, so they are trading cities. These videos really help, as I have seen all of them. Can't wait to visit!!

[@SarahSchneider2]

I personally would never live in NYC because the high rent prices isn’t worth it for me. I love having space(my current 1 bedroom is 714 square feet and that feels perfect for myself) and also a must have for me is a dishwasher, closet/storage space, and laundry either in unit or only shared by a few other units in the hallway. I know nyc is so expensive because of the location but it’s still like wow. That $8,400 apartment is almost 9 months of rent at my current apartment. I live in a good area and pay a little under $1000 a month. I also have gas, water, parking etc included in the rent so my only additional apartment related expenses are electricity, internet and renters insurance.

[@traciemcalister5327]

I'm in a 2 bed 2 bath with a garage over 900 sq ft for $1300 a month. And it is so quiet.

[@daniellelabelle7923]

I love these apartment hunting videos! Apartment number 4 with the rooftop yard was my favorite! It's so hard to find an apartment with any outdoor space in NYC, so I think that is a really special spot! The apartment also looked really open and spacious on the main floor. I am so curious to know if NYC is still a contender for places you might move too!

Taylor Winn, oh WOW I almost choked on the $8,500 a month apt. I am so conservative I make a penny squeak even having money no way ! I bought my home in 1984 6 years old it was for $36,000 9 rooms big, back yard & front yard ,black top drive way. We put over the years new roof, new siding & new windows .Husband did it saved more money . Could have bought a bigger home,more elaborate ,but not into that ! Thanks for making me feel I did well I love going to New York to visit ,but could not handle the cost ! Love your videos & taking time out to make them Have a lovely day

I'm city girl, I live in the heart of Chicago, but NYC is wild to me. Every space is so awkward and claustrophobic even the larger units unless you get towards those million dollar price ranges and I could never do a walk-up for the life of me. God forbid you twist an ankle or something and need to get home. I've never had the desire to live there but always fascinated by these apt hunting videos. I'll stick to my condo (that I own) with elevator, doorman and garage parking.

[@ginger_80]

Guys. You have to do research and keep your eyes open. My apartment is in Riverdale Bronx (an expensive neighborhood). It is $1,200.00 a month for a 1 bedroom. My friend has a studio on the upper east side and shares the backyard with one other tenant for $1035.00 a month. I have other friends that live in the different boroughs and don’t pay these prices. For instance, another friend lives in Brooklyn (my favorite borough I’ve lived in) by Prospect Park and pays $1,500.00 a month for a one bedroom. Also, you’re not paying water or heat, and 9 times out of 10 you’re not paying a car note and insurance.
