This Apartment Is SO SMALL… The Last Renter Went Crazy

[@sinash]

Mmph... it's "cute". But, not for $4500/month. No, ma'am. No, sir! This Landlord has obviously taken leave of their senses. The place would be claustrophobic enough with just one person but two people? 911 would be on speed dial...

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

This is the kind of Manhattan apt that would be mind-bogglingly expensive at $1,000/mo 25 years ago. These prices are crazy. I remember listening to an interview with some old CBGBs punk bands that talked about renting practice spaces in SOHO for like $200/mo in the mid 70’s.

[@queenbee4350]

I don't believe I'm saying this but I think $4500 is a good price. It's small but it's 2 bedrooms in Gramercy with an in unit washer and dryer. Full amenities. The only thing I don't like is the separate entrance. I would be worried about someone hanging out back there.

[@joannedeherrera340]

Price gouging sobs lol. Wow

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

Love how the landlord put in that pocket door to make it a "2 bedroom" so he could jack the rent up $1000 a month. Really that was the dining/living room originally, the lone bedroom was in the back. Can't imagine sharing a place that tight with a room-mate, would be fine by yourself though, throw a couch/tv in that front room with the pocket door

[@pansprayers]

Unless it has a legitimate drywalled closet on the blueprints, it can't legally be called a bedroom in most metro areas. It's a den.

[@thoughts3897]

Exactly. That is clearly what it was meant for. That a landlord is allowed to call this a two-bedroom is really a crime. There definitely needs to be some regulations set in place.

[@zw3565]

I think you are right. And if you turn what is called a bedroom into a din and then use the other part as a kitchen it is not a bad size place for one or a couple starting out. Of course at a price of around $4400 starting out with a good paying job. Having a roommate would be way too small of shared space.

Coming from Europe, there’s nothing wrong with the size if only for one person or a couple. Definitely not suitable for a roommates situation. Love the timber floors, kitchen is well setup and there’s a laundry included. So overall, could be a lovely home…. But that price is ridiculously high!

[@largol33t1]

It's in New York, one of the most pathetically overpriced places on EARTH. Even 50,000 Euros a year is hardly enough to survive and have anything left to put food on the table. And one thing New York doesn't admit: the prices are driving people out. There were videos put up of entire city blocks that are shuttered because nobody can afford the criminal property taxes or mortgages. Soon, half of New York City will be a ghost town...

[@miki_mochi]

As someone who lives in Japan, I agree completely. This doesn't feel all that small and would be perfect for a couple. I thought at first it was just the common space and the one bedroom which would be a bit on the smaller side (though would be very great for one person - was bigger than places I've lived in anyway) but the extra bedroom in the back makes it feel a lot better. Though, for that price I'm not so sure. lol. But that's the price of living in the big city I suppose.

Definitely not a 288 GTO. Also you'd be certified crazy to actually drive a 288 GTO in Manhattan, that's like a 3 million dollar car now days. Its the much more common 328 GTS, which are still "affordable" cause they made a good number of them.

I guess living in the midwest definitely has its advantages lol I only pay $400/mo rent for my 2 bedroom home with 1/2 acre of land. I don't know how people in NY survive...Thanks for sharing sweet Violet with us again...She's always a pleasure to see!

[@back2the80s]

It’s not New York! Any other low cost state is cheaper

[@panamasrose]

Definitely hard to survive for people just coming to New York. Us native New Yorkers, or most of us, know where to find the cheaper deals. Also, if you're good tenant landlords usually don't go up high if at all.

[@sandraclark2235]

Wow! I thought I was getting by cheap at $750 a month for a 2-bedroom. Where exactly do you live? I might move there.

Great little apartment with a excellent location! Not everyone who subscribed to your Channel needs (or wants) a roommate... Even if there’s more than one bedroom. I would use that “Smaller” bedroom as my living room what you referred to as the “common space” as my dining area. I like hosting dinner parties and l don’t need (or want) a roommate.

[@PWingert1966]

Wall-mount the TV on a pull-out tilt and swivel wall mount and you're good. But I would also like a TV in each bedroom. The triangular bedroom becomes my office and guest room with a murphy=bed.

Mirrors inside the cabinet is for when you do your hair. You can turn around and face one of the side mirrors and angle it so that you can check if your pony tail is not askew. Very useful. I used to have one like that and used it every day.... My hair was better styled when I had access to this three door mirrored cabinet....

Gives me ASMR :^) I was amazed to see your bike wasn't stolen! I think I could live in a tiny space, and this apartment looks solid, clean and updated. Love me a window over the kitchen sink -- it's one of the things I seek for when looking at homes for sale here in the Valley. It looks like a quite a trek if you're carrying groceries! And that rent - dayum! But that's NY, isn't it? Thank you!

[@ritachen8750]

Crazy price aside, this apartment is luxurious compared to what I had in Japan. My first apartment in Tokyo consisted of 1 bathroom and 1 main sleeping/dining/living room that was 9 square meters in size. Needless to say, I was bouncing off the walls by the end of the year. LOL.

Mirror in the inside of the bathroom cabinet is for you to see back of your head and also brings more light by reflecting. 🤔

I would love to find an apartment this size or a little smaller. I am used to the tiny apartments of East Asian countries (my first apartment was under 200 square feet); finding an American apartment under 500 feet is tough where I live.

Um, no. I couldn't imagine having a roommate. Period. But I also can't imagine sitting in the 'common space' and your roommate is 'going at it' on the other side of the pocket doors. Or if that roommate is sleeping and you want to watch TV and have to keep the volume down so low that you can't hear the name of the person being called to "Come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right"? My one bedroom apartment is bigger than the entire apartment, and is only a fraction (1/5th) the price. No thanks!

[@tsgrandma9837]

I live in a small rural town and in the last year we have seen rent rates soar, going from $400 a month for a 3bd 2ba home to $1,100. We are also starting to see an increase in homeless people as well. Food prices are also going through the roof. A year ago a head of lettuce was $1 now its nearly $3. It's really sad, not to mention alarming.

The mirrors on the inside of the vanity cabinet let you use it as your shelf (ie toothbrush toothpaste soaps you want to hide) and keeps your sink from being cluttered and you don’t have to close it when you are there (it also keeps the outer mirror much cleaner, personally I love mine)

[@josephschmoe2376]

Wait, this shoe box is $4500? Did I read that correctly? I just found a one bedroom on 59th (with dishwasher) for $1800. Did someone also rent you the Brooklyn Bridge as well? NYC is not what it was prior to the pandemic and one can find killer deals today. Y'all got swindled, bruh.

We lived with 3 people in an even smaller space for almost 2 years. The size is pretty average where i live. Mine kitchen is even smaller than than one with no pantry. I used one bedroom for my clothes and other stuff i need to store. The main room is a little bit bigger and i have an indoor balcony but all in all a lot of single people live smaller in Europe.

[@marynamurray9385]

Nice looking apartment and location. I reckon it would be suitable for a single person or couple as the 2nd bedroom could be used as the lounge. Kitchen is too small to use as a dining area as well. Price is high though and not sure if this is market price or inflated for NYC. I see no reason why the previous tenant went "mental" unless there were more then 2 people living there. love the fact that it is sunny/light and has no basement or crazy stairs!

[@alexandriajohnson6656]

[@lisab.1595]

I think the apt is adorable. I lived in that area, and always enjoyed it. Look at all the windows, and outside the windows you have trees, vines, turning to green in the summertime. It's like a little cottage. Could I live there? Yup, no problem. Better than yesterdays converted railroad rooms with no windows, looking like a dungeon. The couple of windows it did have, faced the building air shaft. This, on the other hand is a cheerful apt, and I really like it. Yes, the rooms are a bit small, but there's a lot of light in all those rooms. It's a great neighborhood also. Buildings in that area have always been well-maintained, that's what makes it so desirable.

[@deirdrebridge]

Totally agree. I could live there! It’s so bright and cheerful!

[@MrSatyre1]

I like this apt. If you didn’t like entertaining and just wanted a place to be with your jigsaw puzzle’s and your cat. You’d have to be very creative and nothing could be moved in unless it could serve 2 purposes. There is no place for a vacuum, linens, winter coat, etc. Yen and the art of Creative storage is your goal. Become one with IKEA.
