What $1500 will REALLY get you in NYC | My Studio NYC Apartment Tour | Vintage-Inspired Space

Step inside my vintage-inspired NYC studio apartment! This is an up-close look at my 250 square foot studio apt that I pay $1500 a month for. By NYC standards my studio is pretty big and a good deal. What do u think? • • • ⇩ • • • OPEN FOR MORE • • • ⇩ • • •

This video has been in the making for a while now but it's finally finished! I hope you all enjoy this tour of my tiny but cute studio apartment. I always love watching YT videos of people's apartments in big cities where they show you what you can get for your money. But I feel like some of them aren't totally honest. So I'm showing what you can HONESTLY get for $1500 a month living in NYC. Do you think I'm paying too much, or am I getting a good deal?? I'd love to know what you think of my decor and studio size in NYC.

I don't think she knows what a gold mine apartment she has for this price in NYC! 🖤

[@brooklynbloom]

oh I do! hehe 🤗 sooo lucky to have this lil place but I looked high and low for her!

[@BobbieXxoo]

@@brooklynbloom ❤❤❤❤ You're very wise for your age! Honestly.

[@PowerGurhl]

Not anymore prices are soo low today you can find a one bedroom for 1650 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@BobbieXxoo]

@@PowerGurhl dang. That is very low. Wow. Is it because of the pandemic?

[@PowerGurhl]

@@BobbieXxoo yeah the pandemic has truly brought prices down in areas where it’s usually not cheap such bushwick and bed-sty Brooklyn

[@marilyn8700]

Finally a tour of an apartment with color. Some of the other tours are all white and gray apts that I'd be scared to touch anything in. This apt looks Cozy and like a lived in home. Great job!

[@brooklynbloom]

awww so glad you liked it! A few other people have said something v similar about it's nice to see an apt that's not just all white! i def think my places feels homey and that's what i was going for 😊

[@Lulu-oi9ue]

Neutrals are very popular. Lots of shades of white and grey. I personally love this style because I have a small space and love light bright and airy. My living area is neutrals but my bedrooms are colourful. Love colours.

[@exlibrisas]

Very popular over here in my corner of Europe. In mid 2000s it was popular to make everything light brown. Now it's all white, super minimalistic and sterile. I need an accent color and darker tones. That's why I rented a pretty looking, well balanced and nicely designed apartment. It's a rarity.

[@emilybulmer3147]

Hun just a privacy and safety tip I wouldn’t show the outside of ur house like that and exactly where it is bc I don’t want something bad to happen to you

[@brooklynbloom]

v sweet of you but I actually don't live here anymore. I moved a month after I posted this video and I knew I was moving otherwise I would have never shown so much!

[@JiaFaFia]

When you opened the door and I saw all of the plants and Indie style I gasped

Please dont leave things on those radiators during winter because thats a great way to start a fire

[@brooklynbloom]

World market! They have cute af rugs and a good price ☺️

[@jeanneewaseck6635]

Very well-presented! Instead of having someone stand there pointing and saying "I bought this at World Market", having the graphics that you do IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE DOING IN A TOUR!, as well as the floor plan in the beginning!!!

[@brooklynbloom]

so glad u enjoyed it! I really tried not to make it boring

[@mariebernier3076]

OMG!!!! YES.

[@natsomething0]

I really like your sense of style. And the vintage pieces...well, I've always felt they hold some bit of the life they lived prior in them. So I think they give your home a vibrant character. :-)

[@brooklynbloom]

So true! I also like to think where a piece has lived before its in my home

[@16kirsy]

kitchen in a separate room, two closets, top floor, renovated bathroom, shower with tub, all for $1500? that's an amazing find! you've made a fantastic use of the space!

[@brooklynbloom]

right?! Oh but I looked high and low for this place. But feel like all my work paid off! ☺️

[@colleentre262]

This looks like an pre-war apartment, it has the same charm of arched doorway and mouldings, and a lovely romantic look

[@RiotDwarfQueen]

Honestly I would love all the tile in the bathroom. No moldy drywall!

[@brooklynbloom]

haha I never thought of it that way!

[@gracecee_]

girl your editing is insane!! I can only imagine how long this took to put together you have like 3 layers of videos every other scene omg

[@brooklynbloom]

Tysm! And yes, it took me forever!

[@c.b.5209]

For safety reasons you should remove the areas in your video that hint your location ..

[@pyenme]

I know you realize how lucky you are to have this apartment. Not only is it a large "studio", but to have the defined kitchen and the dressing room to make it seem like you are moving into actual different rooms. To get a sofa and a full size bed and still have room to walk around is pretty amazing. I love the vintage feel of the bathroom - the old tub and the curved surround of the shower is great - even with the "updated" tile. Wish they had stayed with something vintage, there, as well. $1500 seems like a lot until you see other options in other areas - and you are close to work and transportation! Really nice.

[@brooklynbloom]

so lucky! But I really did look so hard I feel l like my hard work paid off. And I totally agree, I would have preferred a more "vintage" feel to the bathroom, but at least I have a tub! 🤗

[@eh6454]

Very stylish. I'm curious to know how much the rent is now, in 2024 🙂

[@shariburns6263]

This tour was very well done. The floor plan layout map was very helpful.

[@aracelisms]

her apartment looks like a Urban outfitter catalog < love it

[@brooklynbloom]

[@Sierra241]

So cute! But girl I’m scared for you, showing the outside of your apartment and the subway you live next to is risky...

[@brooklynbloom]

dont worry, I'm moving in a week otherwise I would have never showed so much!

[@ccaswick]

Tiling the entire bathroom is genius -- no painting for the landlord -- ever again -- and so easy to clean between tenants. Not to mention easy for you to keep clean as well. Beautiful use of space.

[@brooklynbloom]

Well said!

[@Eeeekamouse]

I know it's cliche, but "I love what you've done with the place!"

[@brooklynbloom]

Awww I still like it ☺️

[@beccismith4454]

I agree! It just all fits together very harmoniously, and there seems to be so much natural light in there! Or you’ve done a good job with lighting for the video :-) A beautiful haven!

[@allyroe3569]

I can’t help but feel concern for how much information you shared about your location. Just as a woman. But this is a beautifully made video!

[@brooklynbloom]

oh I totally get that! I’m actually moving in 2 weeks thou otherwise I would have NEVER shared as much info as I did ☺️

[@sabrinathegreat4961]

I had the same thought- location, building, floor, layout, view from outside... I hope she stays safe!

[@kittyx3ish]

Hey girly , just to let you know I recognized where you live because my bf used to live down the block from you. Just becareful putting the door & number on your videos. There are crazy people out there. Sending so much love ❤️

@@kittyx3ish awww ty!

[@ge-ys1uz]

WOW!!! I think you did an amazing job, and the price is not that bad! Here in the midwest apartment costs have risen dramatically, and you can find a moderate one bedroom for $1500. Yours is full of charm and character, and having a separate kitchen is wonderful! Your decorating is impeccable. You should think about doing that professionally! Everything you put together produced a very inviting and cozy place to live.

[@brooklynbloom]

that’s v sweet of you ty. Not sure my taste is for everyone but I’m sure some would appreciate it. And cozy indeed!

[@beccismith4454]

I would appreciate your taste :-) I do appreciate your taste. Mine is kind of similar, and I love your crafty creations

[@judylewis206]

I live in Brooklyn NYC. This studio is a gem. I love the bathroom.

[@thebrownsausage]

Nice place. NYC has cheaper rentals now, in Manhattan, for $1k and $1.3k. Many people have moved back to suburbs and out-of-state and they need people to rent those spots. I could not believe seeing a decent size studio in Manhattan for $1,300. No bathtub though, but everything looked new.

[@lynnlamothe3724]

That is one of the cutest NY apartments I have seen on youtube. I love the layout and the fact that you have 2 closets but it's your decorating that makes it so cozy and adorable. Thanks for sharing!

[@brooklynbloom]

Thank you so much!!

[@eavesdroppin1]

Every time I watch home tours, the first thing I do is rearrange their furniture and decor in my head. I am very impressed with your style (just enough quirkiness, yet sensible, neat and tidy) and your arrangement. And I think you were lucky to snag this apartment as I could see my younger self living there. I am a 74 year old quilter/ decorator/ painter/ family genealogist/ crafter great-grandmother who still has a mortgage of $1500 for my 2300 sf house in Southern California. Thumbs up to you!

[@brooklynbloom]

you sound like quite the fun grandmother susan! and thank you for the quirkiness comment 😊

[@copyright-ur1sf]

I think she super lucked out. Studios around Boston are about $1500 and are typically smaller, so to get one in NYC (which is usually more expensive) is a real steal!

[@thehollyannrose]

i really really love your apartment!! i would love to live in a studio like that.

[@brooklynbloom]

Thank you! I def dont have much left over when rent is due but I still love it 😊

[@Bobrogers99]

It's fairly roomy for a studio, and you've made good use of each space. An apartment like this in Manhattan, if you could find one, would be $1,000 more. I don't understand people who insist on being in Manhattan when there are places like this just two or three subway stops away for substantially less money. I'd say you made some good choices.

[@brooklynbloom]

tysm! I do love Manhattan but when i work in Brooklyn and have friends there, makes sense to me!

[@beccismith4454]

I am living alone in a larger apartment in a small “city“ in Germany, and pay a fraction of that price! Your price is actually about my monthly income, sometimes more 😄. This world is so varied! Pretty fun

[@brooklynbloom]

Oh wow!

[@kimberlymorrison1217]

Same in Cincinnati, Ohio. I find rent is about what you are willing to pay to get what you want.

[@Stefaniaddison]

I love what you've done with your space. You are so creative and have such a good eye for making the space feel homey and beautiful.

[@floraho13]

Lol I was just about to point out the “koreatown” thing when I read her description. Sunset park is considered Brooklyn’s Chinatown especially if you are near 8th ave. The whole strip is Chinese. Actually when you said koreatown I was really surprised because that part of Brooklyn doesn’t have many Koreans or even restaurants. I’d give your nyc native friends the benefit of the doubt and say they’re probably not from Brooklyn and/or aren’t Asian

[@rositaluke2088]

I said the same thing

[@brooklynbloom]

Crazy how many people on TY have told me that, but not ONE New Yorker has mentioned it! weird times

[@lauranaut]

@@brooklynbloom It's crazy how many Brooklyn locals and actual New Yorkers I know are familiar with their neighborhood's true history and demographics. So weird! It's almost like if I was corrected for misstating something about a neighborhood I'm clearly gentrifying, I would maybe take a second to actually listen to the people trying to educate me so I wouldn't look so ignorant.

[@susanfudge1737]

@@lauranaut So an American neighborhood filled with people from Asian countries over the years, FINE. An American probabaly 10 generations back moves in AND SHE'S GENTRIFYING?

I think this is the most reasonably priced apartment I've seen for new york.

[@brooklynbloom]

ty! 🤗

[@marivel182]

I pay $1685 for a 800+ sq ft in brooklyn flatbush. Been here for 5 years now, rent stablelized. Your home is so beautiful, it's "cheap" for BK. But now due to the pandemic you can get a one bedroom or studio for $1650.

[@marivel182]

PS: in sunset park I found one bedroom apts listed for $1650-1750

[@susangill5]

Absolutely adorable! Very charming and homey. I think it's worth the price.

[@brooklynbloom]

Thank you! 😊

[@pamkowal7464]

What a charming, cozy, welcoming home! I especially liked your branch with the dried flower bunches, your great bed and your kitchen table which was a perfect size for the space.

[@brooklynbloom]

Thank you so much! I def tried to find pieces that worked with the small space

[@calvinjefferson9061]

Nice area and Apartment Building For the price she pays for rent is a good deal. Anytime you find a place that big under 2,000 in NY,you are really fortunate.

[@MM-Iconoclast]

New Yorker here. You got a great deal for a really nice studio. Legit. Also want to say that your design sense is excellent. And btw, a separate kitchen is an important point in a studio, even tho that wasn't on your 'musts' list. Your kitchen is not small for a studio at all, even a smaller 1br. And it even has room for a table! Really nice apt, really nice decorating and well done video!

[@brooklynbloom]

awwww ty! 🤗After looking at so many studios, I knew finding a kitchen that could hold a table was a rare find!

[@juliasmom04]

What a cute video. Thank you for not opening up every cabinet and explanining where you got EVERYTHING in your apartment, what you included was just perfect. I have never lived in NYC but I think that you found a great deal for what you pay for this lovely space. Where do you do your laundry? The decor is just lovely.

[@brooklynbloom]

I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I really tried to make it not possible boring ☺️ Luckily ther are lots of laundromats in NY so I have a few on my block I go to

[@livingdeadgirl5796]

Do not be ashamed of dumpster diving! I have aquired some pretty awesome pieces of furniture that way. I also have revamped some of them for a pretty good profit!

[@tripunk]

this apartment is actually worth the price - a lot of times youtubers are like "yeah it's got no toilet and I have to boil my own hot water but that's new york living!" This is quite reasonable - it's small, but you've done a great job with it; you really decorated it to flatter the space - it's cozy and also roomy. Hard combo to accomplish! thanks for showing ur home :)

[@brooklynbloom]

tysm! i really tried to make it homey

[@debbieriddle9429]

I love how you have it decorated, I love vintage...I'm vintage. Very nice.

[@brooklynbloom]

[@coni-ne5km]

You call it an apartment complex, back when I lived in Brooklyn it was called a three-family home. I lived in a two-family home for 18 years; we had the top floor. It was a cold flat (meaning no central heating). We heated our place by using the stove that had an attached heating unit. Our rent was only $60/month. The landlord raised it to $85 after he installed central heating that was mandated by NYC. I loved that place.

[@idek7438]

When did you live in Brooklyn? The 1800s?

This place is amazing. You have wonderful taste and an eye for how to arrange your treasures.

[@Sean-jp5rm]

I love what you've done. Living in NYC has taught me that having a ton of space isn't everything. Buying only things you love and keeping organized will make a studio feel way more comfortable than having a house full of useless trinkets. I'm moving on my own in April and I've been eyeing things on StreetEasy, hope the market stays favorable then 🤞

[@brooklynbloom]

Aww so glad u enjoyed it! And thanks for the kind worlds

[@lapislazarus8899]

This apt is gorgeous! And I think you're getting a lot of bang for your buck. Wonderful design & an at-home feel that is in no way cluttered. I love the attitude of getting rid of something when getting something new, cuz "I've enjoyed this, maybe someone else will enjoy it too." Common generosity amongst millennials that I think gets overlooked by the generation with the philosophy of "he who dies with the most toys, wins!" P.S.-- your kitchen is a perfectly good size for cooking 😁

[@brooklynbloom]

aww thank you so v much for the sweet comment! I’d also like to think I’m getting a good deal and agree, the kitchen is pretty great.

[@michellegonzales9462]

This place is so cute! I always pictured New York studios being tiny little living room sized apartments without anything sectioned off like the way your kitchen is. In Texas, I paid $525 a month for a studio with a huge walk in closet, bathroom and kitchen sectioned off. It wasn’t the nicest place but now I’m in a 2 bed, 2 bath with washer and dryer included for $860 a month. Crazy the world of differences that region brings

[@Maki-00]

I miss living in Brooklyn! I practically furnished my whole apartment with stuff I found that was being thrown away! I was lucky to have a separate kitchen in my studio too. Your apartment is beautiful! I too, am grossed out by carpet. You never know when and IF it has been cleaned recently. I love radiators as well. In my last Brooklyn apartment, I painted my radiator pink.

[@brooklynbloom]

Sounds like we coujld have been good friends! So much good stuff in the NYC that gets toseed out, it's crazy

[@gypsygirl1485]

If that apartment had been decorated with your decor it would have doubled in price. You scored by having the top floor, balcony, private bathroom and kitchen. I love it.

First, I LOVE it that you didn't feel compelled to mention every single item in your space (some people even tell you where they bought each bottle of nail polish for pity's sake!), but you did label where you got some key pieces. Brilliant! I also LOVE your attention to detail! When I saw the branches holding your flower collection, and the little knobs you hung them up with on the wall, it solved a problem that's been bugging me in my bedroom. Thank you for a really great video!

[@brooklynbloom]

[@sherrycohen1824]

I love how you decorated your apartment. Even though it's been two years since you uploaded this video, rents in the suburbs were pretty comparable or higher. If you want to live in the Big Apple, you have to sacrifice space. If you want to live in the suburbs, you're going to pay about as much or more plus you will probably need a car. You made the most of your place and you did a fabulous job. I live in a house and I go to the dump's Take it or Leave It shop for plastic storage units for the basement and garage and to Goodwill for bargains.

[@odiug95]

I adore your style, you inspire me to incorporate more antique items to my decor. I'm currently in the process of moving (alone for the first time!) and my new place feels a little soulless with everything being brand new, and I want it to feel like a home, like yours does :)

[@brooklynbloom]

aww this makes me so happy! i remember moving into my own place for the first time, it can def feel a little overwhelming trying to decorate the whole place. Just take it one room, even one wall at a time. No need to get it done all at once. Especially when you incorporate more vintage items, those can take a little longer to find but are def worth it once you do.

[@lolafredes]

It's in a small building which is in between living in a big complex and having to live with people in a single familyhome. I always got apartments on the top floor. Vintage is my thing. I seriously want that apartment in any state at all; I don't even care.

[@creepycrawlie]

knowing nothing abt new york, i think it's so expensive but you decorated it BEAUTIFULLY and so personal so it's worth it

[@brooklynbloom]

tysm! it def is sooo expensive but weirdly worth it!

[@AmandaDemike]

I live in a one bedroom apt on Long Island and I pay 2,185 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@brooklynbloom]

@@AmandaDemike what!?! Wow, that’s a lot. But at least u have a separate bedroom!

You hit the jackpot sis

[@brooklynbloom]

haha indeed!

[@wickedtess9407]

I don't live in NY but from what I've seen on line, this is an amazing deal. So many I've seen, in the bigger buildings, don't have the full bath. I think they get a toilet and sink and the showers are shared.

[@lorig.6207]

This apartment is super cute and cozy. I love that arch above the shower. Your bed placement is great. I would look forward to coming home everyday if I lived there.

[@brooklynbloom]

good eyes on that arch! I also love it, very unique 💕

[@angiemiller1335]

I love the floor to ceiling tile in your bathroom,

[@brooklynbloom]

hehe thanks! def interesting but I'm getting used to is

There is nothing nicer than collecting objects and furniture that has had another life! I have collected this way since I was young in the eighties. Vintage to me is anything from the 60s back ( back then they called it ‘second hand’ and was frowned upon). I find it strange that my daughter is wearing my clothes from the eighties and calls them vintage. It seems like yesterday to me😂😂 and little does she know is a lot of those clothes are older than that and I’m so glad she wants them. You have a beautiful home. I wish you health and happiness to enjoy it. I like nothing better than championing the young to be independent in living and mind. ❤️ Thank you for sharing because this pandemic has isolated a lot of us and it’s a way to visit others homes if only through the lens. ❤️

[@brooklynbloom]

this so sweet! Im the same, I love collecting items that have belonged to someone else and well honestly, have already had a life before I found them! Its so fun going into a shop and not knowing what you'll find. Sometimes its a gem but not always. Cute your daughter enjoys your old clothes. Could be worse and she could hate them right?! So glad you enjoyed my video (:

[@beverlyalfreidevictor2851]

This is a steal for $1500, your landlord is a saint.

[@brooklynbloom]

agreed! It's a mom and son who own the building and they really are the sweetest

[@rebekahbardsley5947]

I love your apartment and I am with you. Yes it is pricy but to be near work it is worth it. I love radiator heat it is a cleaner heat less allergies and a d I'd you put a pot of water on it, it's great to add moisture to the room during winter cold months. My apartment that I had for 20 years until last October I lived on the 5th floor. Built in the early 60s. Had 2 walk in closets was known as the largest one bedroom unit in the entire Northern Va area. I faced the fountain which was soothing to dit out on the balcony and read and hear the water. My bedroom was also my craft area and a corner of the living room was my office. When I left there I paid $1467 a month which includes $50 for underground parking. I walked to work and I walked to the grocery store, cleaners, restaurants. My complex was gated too so you had to have a code to enter. When I moved I gave tons to Habitat for Humanity. I gave up one antique because no one could fit it into their car and I was sentimental about it but had to let ot go. I love your place it has great character. My nephew graduated in June from Steve's Institite of Tech and he is working in Manhattan and he just moved into an apartment close to his work. He too rides his bike. I think you are very cool and I clicked to subscribe. Have a great week and Merry Christmas.

[@brooklynbloom]

awww ty! Love your story and that place sounds amazing. It's always great when you find a place you love. Also love that you donated things instead of just tossing them in the garbage. Happy holidays to you too!

[@ericaj.9203]

OMG your apartment is SUCH a great find! So much storage and separation - I would kill for that space for that price! Also I laughed so hard about your hardwood floors comment, because I feel the exact same way - carpet is gross 🤢

[@brooklynbloom]

hehe thanks! I do love my lil space. Omg carpet, kill me!!

[@carolinef9407]

you seem so sweet! i love how considerate you are about the objects in your home.

[@soleildrops]

i was studio hunting in manhattan only (because i can't afford too much commute time) and i think your apartment is an amazing deal for all that it offers! and you decorated it so well! it gives such a warm and comfortable vibe.

[@TheSweetpea73]

I love how you decorated your home. So cozy

[@brooklynbloom]

Yes! Thank you! thats exactly what i was going for 😊

[@EricaZetterquist]

love how much color you have going on!!

[@brooklynbloom]

Oh thank you!

[@savorsalvagescent2300]

Wonderful and spacious apartment for a great price (for NYC). Great neighborhood, too. Love the way you’ve designed your space!

[@brooklynbloom]

Tysm!

[@responsibleregalia]

I feel that apartment for that price is quite reasonable for NYC! Love your decor.

[@brooklynbloom]

I totally agree! and ty!

[@magicworld3242]

That's Sunset Park. I use to live there when I lived in Brooklyn. Very nice apartment. Congratulations.
