These Apartments are SO SMALL… Nobody Will Live Here

Ive seen tiny apartments, but these are very very small. That being said i think for the right person, this might be all thats needed to get your life in New York City Started. Check them out and let me know if you’d be able to make this work.
Thanks to ‪@CharlesMunroe‬ for the tour!

Watching this channel has caused me to appreciate my little house. It’s 1,200 sq ft with a huge yard and I paid 77k for it 14 years ago. I used to think it was tiny. The bedrooms are 14 X 14 and one bath but I love it! And I have no mortgage so yeah, I’m staying here. 😂 Charles is THE man!!

[@Bibi2012able]

Same feeling. I bought a 3 bedroom ranch house 30 y ago paid Morgage in 20 yrs I used to call my house little house in the prairie but compare to those apt my Morgage is less than the 1 br and I thank the Lord for my blessing. I have 1/3 acre of land to garden if I want.People need n Manhattan are just waking up to the absurdity. Thanks to the pandemic. With high crime who needs to be reminded and God forbid you have a child the public school is another private problem. My prediction it’s not ever going back to the old normal again.

[@lindaartz3297]

I have downsized and have 2/2 big screened porch and a deck with outdoor kitchen on a canal that goes out to the Gulf. Small yard. I love living small.

[@Ivehadenuff]

1200 sg feet is not small. 500 square feet is small. There are 4 of this size in my condo building and only 2 of us have 900 square feet.

I'm European & I laughed so hard when he said 'this might be the oldest bookstore in the world !' 😂 Comon that's too much even for USA standards. Even here the oldest bookstores here have at least couple centuries on them. And yetwe know this got nothing on China and some other Asians countries.

I watch this channel out of morbid curiosity. It blows my mind what landlords can charge for rent on these places. And the room sizes are tiny! Every episode of this reinforces that I would NEVER live in NYC.

[@Maerahn]

Yeah, this definitely makes me appreciate my home in Maidstone, UK. For roughly the same price as that teeny studio apartment, me and my family are renting a three-bedroomed flat with all mod cons and plenty of space. I don't know how on earth New Yorkers afford to live there!

[@ChrisAndCats]

I'm in North Wales, my 2 bed semi cost 18.5k. Converted the adjoining brick shed into an attached garage at the side, added heating, porch, conservatory, double glazing, theres a reasonable garden with 2 old apple trees in back, little garden in front (can fit 2 small cars on drive), have a 2 mile view to the sea from upstairs, fields and 2 mature oaks view from downstairs, mortgage ended up at 35k. The prices on here are just ... can't think of the words!

[@Sofasurfa]

@@ChrisAndCatsI’m in Cumbria in a 3 bed terrace with traditional side return yard and triple length garage but because we are just outside the national park when we bought it 35 years ago it only cost £20k but we moved up from the south so we never had mortgage got out in 88 before the property bubble burst…..phew we would have been in negative equity. Moving north was the best thing I ever did, great place to rear kids, we live about 850m from the beach. Not a lot of people realise the Lake District has some really nice coastline 😊

The studio is perfect for a dog owner. The bathtub is just the right size for washing a dog, and that backyard is perfect as a dog run!

[@naomi-allisonsloane3008]

Argosy bookshop looks great but it’s a toddler in age compared to Hatchards at 187 Piccadilly in London, UK which was opened in 1797 and still trades from the same site, however, the Bertrand bookshop in Chiado in Portugal is the oldest permanently trading bookshop in the world, having been opened in 1732.

[@Sofasurfa]

Oooo I wondered if anyone would catch that 😊

[@MamaCarola1]

2 of the best comments from the C&C team. "It's affordable to the person who rents it" & "Quirks are perks". I like the 3rd the best mainly because it doesn't look like a closet lol but the price...well yeah because of where it's at. The 2nd, was that really even big enough for a bed in the "bedroom"? Kinda hard to tell. Compared to yesterday's, they're all a huge letdown except the neighborhood is way more desirable.

[@chuckgriffith4539]

Agreed with the statement that Charles made.."it's affordable..." instant classic!!! Very NYC!! Keep up the great work Team Jordan and Charles! Spring is here...so I'm sure more rentals on the way!!

[@patrickgrady7505]

Affordable to millenial trust fund babies or delusional people who barely make the rent each month that uses food and culture as a coping mechanism.

[@IG40kman]

My first apartment was about the same size as the first one but it was $520.00 a month and all utilities were covered. The size doesn't really bother me but I don't think I'd ever want to pay that much on housing a month. Guess that's what it takes if you really wanna live in Manhattan.

[@Bobrogers99]

The first apartment: Charles, SIX people? Do they hang from hooks or are they stacked like cordwood? The second apartment: No outdoor space but with a tiny bedroom. Is it worth that much more? The third apartment is in a very different class. The rooms are large and there are two full baths. But do you want to share for $3,500 each?

[@catherinesanchez1185]

If that person makes mucho $$$$ , then it's not a big deal. The 2nd apt it probably depends on whether being outside matters to you or not. Some people would love to have an outdoor space and others couldn't care less.

[@kareninalabama]

Based on his (ridiculous) statement that 6 people could share that first studio, I assume their expectation is that at least 12-14 people would share that last 2 bdrm apartment. 🙄

[@lynnecartwright3976]

[@junebyrne4491]

I look at the streets and think I would like to be there for two weeks. But I could not give up my house with lots of room.

Loved the studio over the one bedroom because I could see myself sitting out on the balcony for hours, but that last apartment was truly the best!

[@xccrazy91]

I weirdly LOVE the second apartment! The hardwood floors!!! The fireplace! Even the weird “view”. It’s so bright and private

[@miobulle1112]

Always a pleasure to see you both ! Nice tour again . Thank you

[@chuckgriffith4539]

On the first one..You can set up a camp site on the balcony and set it up as an AirBNB....LOL The rest is typical old school studios that makes Seinfelds apartment a castle...the others were cool and affordable for a stock broker! Keep them coming Team Cash and Charles!!

[@fannycraddock99]

The boys are back in town. The studio was OK for the price and will suit a younger person. Liked the one bed but the kitchen was really small. The last one was excellent. Just right for two friends sharing. Great kitchen and living space. Both bedrooms were of a good size and two bathrooms were the icing on the cake. Thanks guys.

[@snowysnowyriver]

@00:50. That bookstore isn't even in the running on a list of oldest bookstores in the world. In Europe and in the UK we have them dating back to the 1700s and all centuries in between. Oldest bookstore in the world is in Portugal dating back to 1732 (Bertrand). Here in the UK our oldest is Hatchards dating back to 1797. Something that dates back to 1925 is a baby by European standards! 😉

[@misterbleedinggums]

I'm in love with the third apartment. The elevator alone is worth 1k a person, and the size of the common area is so inviting.

[@ParahSalin]

These videos remind me of how blessed I am not only to be a cancer survivor, but to find my beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bath co-op in the heart of brooklyn, which I just converted into a 3rd bedroom/home office, for $1700 a month. I’m 15 minutes from work, church, my elderly parent’s house, and walking distance to everything including the subway into the city, and 7 bus routes…during covid, many people were fleeing NY and my seller wanted out fast and sold it to me cheap. I was renting at $2200 for a tiny, noisy apartment, and jumped at the chance. I had to drain my 401K, beg borrow and steal from everyone I knew for the down payment lol but it was worth it.

I am 65 years of age retired office Technician but been retired for 8 years now. I read we all choose our path and lifestyle and I do agree with that. I never been to New York City. But I been almost everywhere in California state. Any place can be restored it makes no difference how it might appear. Thank you both for video showing how little one can get in New York City, by the way I only used $613.00 to live on. It is because I have ZERO Debt. otherwise it cost more.

[@sinash]

Hmm... this is tough. While I didn't like the kitchen, I did like that $3K/month studio with the outdoor space. That's a good price given the location. I liked the $3600K/month one bedroom but I would like it more with outdoor space. However, it's still a good price for the neighborhood. Of course, I like the $7100K/month 2bed/2bath unit but it's too much money (IMHO) to pay in rent.

[@MamaCarola1]

That outdoor space made me feel claustrophobic. The kitchen on the 2nd was definitely better but it was hard to figure out room sizes since there were workers in it. Bedroom was like "here's the bedroom, you've got to go". Prices weren't bad but I wasn't wowed (kinda hard to be after yesterday's). Yeah the 3rd might be a bit overpriced by its the neighborhood.

A lot of these buildings were constructed with "wet walls" , so all the plumbing runs behind the same wall , so all the rooms needing water are next to each other. Hotels do the same thing. It saves a ton of money during construction. Plumbers aren't cheap and i'm sure in NYC , they're like landed gentry. LOL!
