Tour of our new apartment in Brooklyn

[@ColeWeso123]

Wow this place is stunning.

[@crabbisk9767]

Perfect place, congrats. Probably in the top 10% of apartments of that size in NYC because it's hard to get high ceilings, yet brand new everything with a good layout and tons of windows. Post wars usually have newer features but thin walls, low ceilings and a predictable layout. Your place has all the modern features everyone wants in an apartment yet has the advantages of the solid build of a pre war with high ceilings and an amazing layout. A place like that in the city would probably set you back $5k a month at least.

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

***** Agree! Thankfully, Brooklyn is cheaper :)

[@Syl182]

I agree!

[@w.a.watson3078]

Crab Bisk $3-3500.00??????

[@Whipslinger1]

Stunning and enviable right?

[@TobiDecadance]

I love the inlaid details of the wooden floor, the lovely high ceilings, the big windows that let all that daylight in and that lovely kitchen

[@james8343]

Watching this in 2018 and would like to see what it looks like now?? If they are still living there!!

[@77cns]

those floors are incredible. i love them!!!

[@kimberleebrooks-trakis9563]

Gas is a million times better than electric for stoves!!!!!

[@fawnwinter3050]

Kimberlee Brooks-Trakis gas stoves suck lol pain in the ass

[@maraze29052905]

Anda more much dirty

[@carlagarrett3244]

Holy BIG! Thats a gorgeous home. Hope your move has gone well, and I am looking forward to seeing your move-in 'mess' day, and the move in. That kitchen is fabulous.

[@jenniferorr938]

Love the space, very jealous. Non New Yorkers pick Manhattan but obviously Brooklyn is the clear choice!

[@LindaPellinen]

one of the most beautiful apartments i've seen

[@SomewhereinNevada702]

I love your new apartment! So light & bright. Can't wait to see how you decorate it.

[@nightofthelivingSara]

came upon this video randomly but wow! great find! i bet you're going to dress that place up amazing!!!

[@sallyleichhardt2155]

It looks really nicely renovated, however it does not seem to have much storage space and definitely needs window coverings. Hopefully the landlord is still in the process of installing blinds/curtains? Good luck moving furniture up that narrow staircase 😊 Hope you have fun decorating, the apartment will be beautiful with the right styling.

[@debssx3]

Very nice!! So clean and fresh

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

Hello, everyone! Thanks for the comments and questions. I won't answer how much the rent is, but it is cheaper than something the same size in Manhattan. As for safety in Brooklyn, just like everywhere, I'm sure there are areas that are less safe than others, but I have no concerns whatsoever with my neighborhood. Again, I don't want to go into specifics but it is near Prospect Park. We are still unpacking. Once we are fully settled, I may do another tour.

[@notshaken62]

+The Serial Hobbyist Girl It would be fun to see how you ended up using the space. It is a beautiful apartment/house

[@Brooklynlife1000]

+The Serial Hobbyist Girl why hid ie lol. Mine is stated on my video. Might be leaving this year though

[@simplyquasia]

+simplyquasia it's definitely looks more then 2000

[@gracekavanah9331]

+simplyquasia I think she's not answering how much she pays for rent because it's none of your business,,,,

[@marlanal.4078]

would you be willing to say about how much the rent is? I've been really curious as to how much an apartment like that costs in NYC

[@LavenderBabies]

I really enjoyed this tour and hope there is a follow up video on the decorated space.

[@terrid5449]

It's gorgeous! I'd love to see it all decorated.

[@AnDi-wd5zh]

That apartment is absolutely gorgeous

[@maddscientist3170]

Gas is BETTER than electric..........even heat in the oven. Love the pocket doors.They did a great job refinishing the floors. You can tell it used to be a larger space divided up for apartment living. Those closets are not original to the space.

[@NicoleDufourDuRocher]

Wow! Beautiful! If you ever move I'd happily take over your lease lol

[@thinderellaedwards1365]

Congratulations, lovely apartment. I would kill to have a bathtub & dishwasher!

[@ronycamacho7132]

That empty white wall where the mirror is...should have been a whole mirror, I feel that it would have brought it more attention.

[@sairathealchemist]

Apartment goals.

[@barbaraforooghian9444]

This will make such a beautiful home for you.

[@onthe5279]

Its a beautiful apartment, you are lucky to have.

[@steph1212ful]

Oh my gosh it was so beautiful

[@graffmixer]

Love your apartment. Im hoping to find something similar in NY like but a condo.

[@singitloud6742]

Your apartment is Beautiful. It looks really expensive though.

[@cressidaaaaa]

When your leaving let me know so I can move in

[@cmt9875]

Beautiful apartment, congratulations :)

[@TelepathicPlayer]

WOW that place is beautiful

[@bluedancelilly]

Wow, this is huge. Must be thousands a month.

[@lamc1463]

DREAM PLACE FOR ONE PERSON....3 NOT SURE....STILL BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING SPECIALLY IN NYC....

[@rorik.3842]

that floor is everything !!!!

[@aznknight69]

Wow, that must be mad expensive!! Looks great:)

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

***** It's all relative! It's certainly cheaper than something the same size and quality in Manhattan!

[@patriciadubee746]

The Serial Hobbyist Girl ass

[@amandaray9027]

Your kitchen is bigger than mine and I live in DFW; I thought NY apts were small lol

[@0861vb]

Nope, they're only small in Manhattan. The outer boroughs have large apartments.

[@aprillaping1397]

Beautiful!!!

[@Bradford314]

Thank you for sharing its a really beautiful place. I really do mean no disrespect by this, but i don't understand why you would show the apartment without including some more factual information regarding the price? I'm sure a bunch of people genuinely just want to OOOOH and AHHHHHH at your new purchase, but many are genuinely seeking figures. I'm looking to make a move and would have found a price range at the least helpful! either way, you're kind for sharing and its gorgeous.

[@Mf7d89]

My guess is around 3-4k

[@amira_shmira]

+bradley h Agreed. Beautiful place though.

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

Martha Baltazar, it's about 850 sq ft.

[@secreteobsession3584]

The Serial Hobbyist Girl how much to rent where in Brooklyn

[@Brooklynlife1000]

omg your place is like wow!!!

[@dundeedell1960]

Cute apartment!

[@onechiclook]

Hi! So glad i saw your video. Im moving from Mia to NYC also. Any tips and advice about your cross country move? Im moving in February. Nervous about the winter move lol

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

+hyhyfrfrar This will be my first winter here so I have no insight on that, but as for the logistics of the move, I won't like, it's a nightmare. I haven't gone into my experience with the moving company because I'm trying to settle some issues first but it wasn't pretty. Apartment hunting wasn't as difficult as I thought, but it was expensive because of all the money you have to give down; be prepared for that.

[@Moscato.Mommie]

WOW.....small world, she was my roommate in the Navy. Hopefully she can do a better job keeping this beautiful apartment clean.

[@mutekuro]

Very unnecessary!

[@Leepak1]

+Jamise Briana Shhhhhhhhhaaaaddddeeee!! lol

[@jalenpink9737]

LMAOOOOOO

[@user-mb4ig1bq5p]

omfg lmaooooo

[@correodepatty]

beautiful apartment

[@aimeeolivia2382]

Apartment is cute☺️ some are cheap and others are too expensive. Close to Flatbush area ?

[@mimicason1]

love your place make another video when you decorate

[@mpereda7]

Beautiful apartment and tour! It would be a perfect apartment for a roommate situation. What part of Brooklyn is it in?

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

mpereda7 It is near Prospect Park.

[@SavvyMarion]

i love ittttt

[@anthonycostello9607]

How much are you paying a month?

[@ACCOMPLISHEDSHEIS]

NICE SIZE ROOMS IN THE APARTMENT, BUT THEY COULD HAVE MADE THE CLOSET MUCH BIGGER. AT LEAST BUILD A MODERN SIZE WALK-IN CLOSET. OTHERWISE, NICE VIDEO.

[@mattiekim]

"I'm not gonna go all the way down the stairs" - haha,

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

Lazy is as lazy does!

[@pattistuber8018]

Nice place. Especially in the New York area. Is there AC?

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

No central AC, no. We had to put in window units,. This is pretty standard in NYC, especially in pre-war buildings.

[@pattistuber8018]

@@TheSerialHobbyistGirl glad you have a window cooler. You can use either ceiling fans or oscillating fans to blow the cool air around.

[@gloriabowie5629]

How many bedrooms are there

[@jasminehoskins8814]

please tell me how much rent is it would really help alot so I can find an apartment that size for a good price

[@bishhwahh6229]

How you gonna get furniture up that skinny stair way to the 3rd floor wtf 😂

[@pharmd718]

Nice apartment

[@secreteobsession3584]

Beautiful how much monthly is station close by

[@reginabyrnes2587]

Really Nice apartment. How much is the rent my income is ssi.

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

Too much!

[@GeorgeFrankTV]

What kind of camera do you use? it looks great!!!

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

+George Frank TV This video was shot with an Olympus OM-D E-M5 mk 2 and I believe an Olympus 12mm lens (something like 24mm equivalent in 35mm camera systems). Sometimes I shoot with my phone, and very rarely with a Canon 5D mk2.

[@GeorgeFrankTV]

Thank you!! Great video!

[@allison-cr7rw]

I dont want to sound rude, but I always thought Brooklyn was very unsafe. Is that true? I really want to move to NYC one day and I also love your video :)

[@summerarnold3294]

Allison Sirmans its not really true there is different parts of Brooklyn but years ago Manhattan use to be worst than brookyln

[@graffmixer]

Allison Sirmans Brooklyn is a great place to live. I rather live in Brooklyn than Manhattan. Unlike Manhattan, Brooklyn has some nice trendy quiet areas. Price in rent in Manhattan is BS compared to Brooklyn. I feel you get more square footage in Brooklyn Vs Manhattan. Every city has its good and bad areas. Always keep that in mind.

[@sarahgordis]

Lol not since the 80's!

[@softpearls21]

love the space and I'm new to new York as well and would have loved if at least you gave us an idea of how much the rent is like a ballpark between 1200_1400 for example so we all have an idea when apartment hunting

[@IcedLipGloss]

+Allison Sirmans the impoverished neighborhoods have crime bc the government doesnt invest in these neighborhoods. the schools suck and there are no jobs. its dirty and disgusting, therefore ofc there will be crime. but soon enough white people will start moving here for the mayor to finally realize something needs to be done. but please realize that brooklyn will always be brooklyn no matter how many hipsters move here. you can still get shot in the head while in williamsburg or robbed in broad daylight in fort greene

[@Whipslinger1]

God forgive me. So why am I sitting here feeling so jealous right now??? How did you come by such a huge apartment in Brooklyn of all places? What is the monthly on it?

[@Whipslinger1]

@Taylor Wow! I would have never thought of that. LOLOL! 😳🤔🙄🙂

[@Whipslinger1]

@Taylor Creepy dude. thanks but I'll pass. I'd rather go the old fashioned route, look for one on line.

[@onechiclook]

Thank you

[@Samsam-ui8ef]

how much is this apartement??

[@bellafallaaa9524]

how much is cost monthly? looks amzing!!! x

[@pattistuber8018]

Are the windows single or double pane ones?

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

Double

[@CrystalLynJohnson]

nice place:)

[@riskbusin3ss]

How much and what is the sq footage?

[@slewis604]

Where in bklyn is this? I'm guessing a newly gentrified area, like Bushwick or east New York

[@floydsteel1703]

east new york is gentrified now?

[@JitaaaCammm]

no but its on its way, but yeah she lives in a gentrified area more than likely

[@MarthaMarie1023]

Hi! How many Sq Ft is this Apartment? LOvely ;)

[@itslauragodwin9908]

Hey! do you think i could find anything nice in brooklyn for under 3,000 i wanted 3,000 to be my max rent price. Thank you in advance

[@nakaramorris2187]

itslauragodwin alot of places under 3k in bk go on trulia

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

itslauragodwin www.streeteasy.com is good too. I just did a quick search and it does look like you can find a one bed in this area for under $3000.

[@itslauragodwin9908]

The Serial Hobbyist Girl omg i went on and i am finding good listings! huge thank you

[@SylviaRose93]

what are those black things in front of most of the windows?

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

+Sylvia Gonzalez Those are the heaters.

[@SylviaRose93]

The Serial Hobbyist Girl thanks for answering!

[@davidgonzalez4916]

What concern me and is required by law is window guard and haven seen a child while you showed the apartment I would make it your business to get them installed.

[@allymichael4836]

I would make the room by the kitchen the dining room instead of the living room and make the big room by your son's room the living area. I wouldn't want to walk through the living room to get to the dining room.

[@jenleeboo]

How could anyone ever afford that!?

[@Mf7d89]

With a job.

[@jenleeboo]

Most jobs in the U.S pay minimum wage which is under the cost of living. If you are a kid this is why you do not understand that.

[@Mf7d89]

Many jobs pay well and you earn an income and then you are able to afford better housing. I can think of hundreds of great paying jobs, don't focus on minimum wage.

[@LesTurla]

+Jen Jen Who My thoughts exactly.

[@jesslo6091]

couldve fooled me looks like a house lol

[@ck-ib2xb]

Beautiful apartment. You don't have to explain every detail. We can see and we know whats in the apartment That's why this video is unnecessary long.

[@echance12]

Damn you talk to much lol

[@onechiclook]

Hi! So glad i saw your video. Im moving from Mia to NYC also. Any tips and advice about your cross country move? Im moving in February. Nervous about the winter move lol

[@TheSerialHobbyistGirl]

+hyhyfrfrar Whatever you do, do not hire Big Boy Moving (they were sent to us by the brokers and I can't remember the name of that company). Also, you need quite a bit of money to rent an apartment here. Basically, at signing, you have to give one month's rent, one month's deposit, and the agent's fee, which can be about 12% of your annual rent. That's quite a big chunk of cash no matter how you slice it! Good luck.

[@justinh5076]

Nice apartment

[@jasminehoskins8814]

please tell me how much rent is it would really help alot so I can find an apartment that size for a good price
