I'm always amazed at what people call spacious and "an amazing deal".
It’s all relative
@@NineteenEightyFive Not really...it's cope. $5,500 for a 1/1 in Manhattan...lmfao. Take your pick of million dollar, potentially waterfront properties, ranging between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet typically. The "NY life" is hilarious.
@@bigm980 nothing you just said makes what I said any less true
@@NineteenEightyFive i genuinely meant to respond to annjohnson lol. Yes, what I said proves its relative. Relatively stupid imo
@@bigm980 Free Market my guy. If people didn't want them, they wouldn't cost that much.
As long as you're near a train station and it's safe, I think it doesn't really matter where you live in NYC. You can quickly and easily visit everywhere else!
Petition for Shelby to join NYC squad
NYC is the worst place for a human to live in
@taylorbell aren't you that nyc influencer with the chubby cheeks
@@Listenimtooshyalright aren't you a rude donut
@@Listenimtooshyalright Yeah that's usually how my friends and family refer to me
@@TaylorBell hey girl!!!! 😊 See you in the comments section!!!
Honestly props to those that live in NYC, $4500 is more than my monthly salary and I could never imagine myself paying that much for a one bedroom apartment. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment which I pay $800/monthly and I still think thats a lot. The views of NYC are so stunning tho!
What city do you live in? I used to live in Kansas City which used to be one of the cheaper cities but now rent has hiked and 800 couldn't get you a studio
dont forget even teachers earn 80k overthere, while 30-40k in other states. its just overall higher incomes and spendings. not as 'expensive' as it looks
Dude I pay 350$ for a 2 bedroom apartment with a terrance in the highest income area of my 10million people city. Granted thats really cheap and an insane deal, it should be around 500-550.
@@piero17sbwhat city
@@kkkkkkkkkkkk962 Completely different country, I live in Lima, Peru, rent in the most luxury part for an aparment with ocean view or view to a golf course might run as high as 800-1000$ for a 3 bedroom, those same areas 600-800$ for a 2 bedroom. I get why so many US citizens leave and become expats with crazy rent prices like NY
I lived in NYC for 5 years in a luxury apartment. You truly get what you pay for and it matters.The gym and pool at the top of my building were my life. I'm not going to apologize for the life I wanted to live back then because I worked my ass off to deserve it. I deserved it. Live your best life.
May I ask what do you do for a living ?
I worked in finance as an analyst. It was boring but I did travel on the company’s dime so that was a huge plus.
Yes a true New Yorker. Always having to rationalize and justify why what we spend is well deserved and ok.
Sometime we even have to repeat this to ourselves, twice. 😊
Because if we didn’t rationalize we’d Jill ourselves at the ridiculousness of it all 😂
Yes we do.@@momohead35
"you get what you pay for"... if i am paying 5k a month to live in a studio apartment i better have someone wiping my ass for me after every shit i take.
Great video! Native New Yorker here - born and raised. I’d like to make a couple of comments for people considering moving to NYC or just curious about the housing market here.
First and foremost, yesss, rent is expensive here so pls stop saying you could get a mortgage for a much larger house (in the middle of nowhere) for less than the asking rent in NYC. Believe me, if there weren’t people willing to pay these high rents, landlords wouldn’t be charging this much.
Secondly, law of supply and demand. We just don’t have enough apartments and that drives prices up. Over the next ten years, New York will need an estimated 800,000 new homes in order to make up for decades of underproduction, support a growing economy, and provide housing that's affordable for New York families.
Moving on to the actual apartments themselves. Space is a precious and rare commodity. This is one the reasons why we have so many tall buildings and skyscrapers. We started running out of space horizontally so we started building vertically. So yes, bedrooms and bathrooms are a lot smaller compared to what you’re used to in other cities. Don’t expect to have a double vanity sink or a walk-in closet (super rare) unless we’re talking about ultra luxury apartments. Kitchens are smaller and don’t tend to have a pantry. Countertop space is limited. Living rooms tend to be on the smaller size as well so don’t expect to fit a dining table.
Lastly, don’t be afraid to look beyond Manhattan. You don’t have to live in the “city” to experience New York. As long as you live next to a reliable subway line, everything is just a train ride away.
NYC has a surplus of vacant apartments since the pandemic.
@@conquerordie230 I’m assuming you’re referring to vacant rent-stabilized apartments that aren’t up to code and therefore can’t be rented out.
Same here in Southern California especially LA county you won’t find nice counter tops, space, laundry hook up, dish washer or walk in closet unless you’re looking at a “luxury” (and I say that loosely) apartment/condo that’s gonna run you a 4-5k a month!!!! 😢 everything is a luxury here.
@@conquerordie230 I own a small apartment building in Brooklyn and there are no vacancies and I have people constantly trying to buy it.
Interesting. I live in the Northern VA area and we have a ton of NYC transplants living and working down here. nice people. They always tell me that the price you see has a hidden "under the table" amount you must pay the building supervisor in order to be considered for the apartment. Is that still true or is that something that only happened in the past?
People be like a good view I’m like all I see is buildings
People in NY always say that. “Just an amazing view” *looking at a bunch of rooftops*
@@SuperAaron99 right lol I be confused
It’s called a city view. It’s lovely.
Inflation is far more harmful to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It is not surprising that the current market sentiment is extremely pessimistic. In today's economy, assistance is critical if we are to survive.
I have experienced significant losses, and I am holding on with the hope of recovering them. It is evident that I am in dire need of assistance. Could you please share the name of the investment adviser who guides you?
Great video!! However it boggles the mind how these buildings have the audacity to charge so much for rent and then charge to use the amenities. With how much you pay for rent the amenities should be included.
It's what the market will bare. Just like the high rent prices. If they had high vacancies then prices would drop.
I actually like that they separate it because a lot of people never use the amenities so it’s good that you can decide whether they are worth the up charge or not, rather than everyone likely being forced to pay more in rent if they didn’t separate it.
Good buildings will included the amenities. You're watching a rich out of touch person shop.
@@WishAtElevenElevenI think everyone has to pay regardless
It's NY. Like any Major city. LA, London, SF.
It is always good to have a financial plan. I work with a professional planner and fixed-income strategist. I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments.
Very true, people downplay planners role, until burnt by their mistakes. I remember just after my layoff early 2020 amidst covid outbreak, I needed to stay afloat, hence researched for license-fiduciary advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge, and decades of experience, I liquidated 200k of 325k from my 401k it has yield nearly 1M after subsequent investments so far.
Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?'.
I just came across her web page, I went through her resume and I must say it was quite impressive. I reached out to her and I have booked a session with her`
Scammer 🤡
Shelby, thank you for sharing so many apartments. I hope with your sanity and health where ever you land that you make sure you have sun light. This is something that is not a want but a need. I look forward to see where you end up. Thank you!
For the last one bedroom in the East Village, with a little creativity and a divider you could make the living area a bedroom and the designated bedroom a living area to take advantage of the light.
Great idea, as it's more important to have light in the living areas IMO, and privacy in the bedrooms
Don't let all these other NYC haters get you down. NYC is like no other place in the world!! Expensive yes but worth it!! I Want to live there one day. FIDI looks amazing!
FIDI is dead on the weekend though, but the subway can take you to the more happening spots...
Correct, its quite literally a health hazard and corporate hell. One of the lowest qualities of life ON EARTH
The rents in New York are outrageous. I will never forget what a CFO at my credit union (lived in New York prior to working in Texas) said that you have to make six figures all the time. I will stick to my home which I own. Not a worry about paying rent. I did rent to be closer to a job and could do it again and still keep my home. The only advantage to renting is getting a job wherever you like.
That's NOT the only advantage. Had a relative who HAD to buy a home in the middle of nowhere. He could afford it with a high paying political job. Suddenly, his state's governor was defeated in the election. My cousin moved to Washington DC. ONLY - he couldn't sell his house at ANY price! It took him a full 10 YEARS!! No not a typo! IF he had rented, he would've saved a shiteload of $$$. OWNING is often NOT The answer! Renting allows you to be mobile!
I’m dying at these rental prices! That’s more than ALL my bills per mo(house payment w/10 acres in central TX), utilities, groceries (which I eat gluten free cuz I have Hashimoto’s) 2 doctors monthly appointments, medicines, 2 vehicles and 2 horses
I am so naive to what real estate prices are now days! 😮
TWO Horses is a LUXURY!
after covid NYC 😍🤗 thank you for your work Shelby, much love
Best NYCApartment tour ever thank you Shelby 🙊
Wow, the Dime is really nice. Other than that, I like the FiDi spaces the best. As a native New Yorker, those prices are actually not bad for the current market. This just happens to be a time when rents are quite high. I also would go for an elevator, doorman building. It does help with safety, getting packages, etc. All the best in your decision making, and I can’t wait to see what your final choice is.
These greedy landlords should be ashamed of themselves. They are taken advantage of people for charging fees left and right. Most Americans have no savings. This cost would ruin someone’s financial future
Can I send you my bills then? The building I own in Brooklyn, my insurance, just insurance costs almost $2,000 a month.
@@venom5809No one cares about landlords. Hate to burst your bubble.
But that capitalism though, nobody is forcing anyone to live there, you're free to choose.
It's extremely sad many in US are forcing Marxist policies on themselves, which is slippery slop to poverty, I know that firsthand.
It may seem unfair but is much better than forcing landlords to put price caps on the long run.
i'm on the Upper east side in manhattan for $2000/mo... oh and it's a one bedroom ... most people live paycheck to paycheck bc they're going broke trying to look rich
I loved this. I would so love to move to New York. I liked that walk up apartment at the end, such a quirky space.
Add another 10-14% in NY city and state income tax into the budget and those rents look even higher.
I was Born in Brooklyn. My parents shared a good size apartment on Riverside Drive on the West Side of Manhattan with my Grandmother.. Eventually, parents moved to the Midwest. My grandmother soon came under rent control & remained in the apartment until she passsd..
I heard that the apartment building went condo. Originally there were 2 apartments per floor. During the change to condo it was common to convert the 2 apartments into one unit just under 3000 square feet. I would occasionally check the Condos web page. I then saw that unified apartment, where we once lived, was for sale. Asking price was $4.3 million dollars. I checked a short later & the apartment had been sold.
The dime looked great for natural lighting, helps when you are not surrounded by other tall buildings you lose light, part of the attraction of a tall building, Shelby the dime in Brooklyn is the best for you in New York, much love ✌️❤️🇬🇧
I loved the Dime as well! those amenities and corner views were to die for!
Yes NYC is magical! ❤
Though I am partial to L.A., I did enjoy the tour! The Dime Residences a gorgeous view and that $100.00 discount price off for $4200.00 for 1 year. It's just long enough for you to experience it! I do love the N.Y. State of mind views! 🗽🗽🗽 ❤️
Yay! You should look at the apartment buildings in queens! The value is amazing ❤️
Can't wait to see what you pick!
Even if you did one of these places for a year, it would be worth the experience. Do it while you're still young!
The way I actually got full body chills when you said $5500 a month 🙊 I thought my $3k cad 2 bed was bad 😂
What's the price for the Chelsea Studio 13:45? You didn't say it. Thanks
I watch Cash Jordan and his overview of New York and prices for apartments are insane!!!
Nice apartments. I ❤the outside scenery.
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting to see these flats in NY
I lived in 180 Water for 3 years and they weren't charging an additional $100/mo. to use the amenities when I was there; That's so rough lol. They did charge for pool usage where it was $70/person on the weekends and $35/person on the weekdays. Also, they def built the pool on the wrong side of the building because when it's sunny, the building's shadow will block most of the sun lol
The doormen were the best , especially Lucas, who was just awesome.
As somebody that lives in the Midwest, I have always thought living in New York would be just such a cool thing. I’ve always wanted to do it. Those dime apartments looked really awesome.
Ya it seems cool but nowhere near worth the price
@@IdkmanjustgowithitI don’t think money is much of an issue for Shelby at the moment, so she can afford to shop for what’s hot and trendy. For you and me, sure, none of these apartments would be worth the stress of having to make rent every month.
Good video, crazy price for New York City 😭 And that last one was on the claustrophobia side for me for an apartment 😅 Best of luck Shelby!
Wowww, I love The Dime. Such a sweet spot
A piece of advice, when you are interviewing someone and they are answering a question or just talking in general, try to not look bored. You keep looking off to the side and it feels like you are just waiting for the person to finish speaking to ask another question.
Maybe that's just her face
I loved this, keep it up :)
Brilliant I really enjoyed your video it's really expensive living in new York so really hope you find a lovely home and hope you can get somewhere with a view to I look forward to your next video
I still say I hope you go back to Cali! You just seem so happy there❤
You and Sam just need to move together there😊
The brunch spot at the base of 15 Cliff (Hole in the the Wall) is so delicious. 😋 I’ve gotten their Australian pulled pork Benedict at least 20 times over the years.
Such a great view in most of those appartments. You could probably fit a bed in the closet of the last studio, that was huge.
That's what I'd do! use the main space as living room/office and put the bed in the closet. I like a really dark and quiet bedroom and prefer to have more living space since I work from home. then you also can have guests without them chilling in your bedroom haha
I can’t wait to watch a NYC move in video in the last apartment you showed on this video.
Great video! Lots of value... Lots of sticker shock
First time commenting on a video 😁 keep it up❤
the williamsburg one is so cute and charming 🤧🤧get me some earplugs for sleeping and im set !
Love the bathroom design at 3:24
I like the last one in the east village. It had a bit more character and a much more classic neighborhood
8:05 “There is a catch to this unit” is the motto of NYC 😂
The suspense is killing me 😄
Honestly the last East Village one is pretty good. I'd rather get a good deal with an older apartment in a good area, and they have more character!
Criminally high rent prices. Oh, but we justify it by saying that's just the way it is because, New York.
If people don't pay, they will drop the prices or else they will bleed cash lmao. People are obviously willing to pay. The only thing criminal going on here is how you don't understand the basics of supply and demand.
New York is one of the greatest places on earth in which to live. Poor people can live elsewhere.
I mean every big city everywhere around the world are criminally high it’s just normal tbh
@@Charlierose214 Forreal, wait till he finds out how much it costs to live in Singapore, Shanghai, London...lmao.
Loved your apartment tour video! How much was the apartment in Chelsea? Didn't see or hear that price. Can't wait to find out which one you choosed!!
Wow the first Brooklyn apt you would think they would have sound proof windows, here in Miami most of the windows are hurricane proof so the outside noise is pretty minimal
I love The Dime!
I think my favorite was The Dime. Cool windows and lighting. Although, I just couldn't make myself pay these amounts for rent. Id rather live somewhere cheaper and invest for retirement.
I knew by the font in the sign i would like that place
I think if I made the kind of money Shelby makes and hung out with the same crowd as her, I would probably ball out as well.
I've stayed at the first building but in a 1 bedroom. It was very quiet and nice. You can people watch all the tourists.
It looks like the apartments you toured in Brooklyn were mostly in South Williamsburg. If you go more north into Williamsburg, closer to L train and closer to Greenpoint, I think you'll find the neighborhood to be much more appealing--a lot prettier, more hip, with more parks and things to do.
I thought that too. I think she doesn't know Brooklyn that well though
As a kid in the 1950's or 60's, I was taken to an optometrist* in the Wall Street area. For more than one pair of glasses; Saturday or Sunday morning. That area was totally dead on weekends.
* I checked. They are still in business.
After knowing Shelby’s annual income from a previous video, (I think it was around 500 k per year if I remember correctly) I’m surprised she didn’t want to check out more spacious apartments at a higher price point. She could easily afford to spend 10k a month on rent if she wanted to, and get a much larger place.
Rich people don’t get or stay rich from frivolous spending lol. She is a smart gal, always live below your means.
You probably live pay check to pay check with that kinda thought process
just because you can afford something doesn't mean its a smart use of resources. your net return on taking the savings and say, investing it totally outweigh the added benefit of an extra 200 sq ft or nicer building imo. but to each their own!
@@Desert_Dreamin024totally agree! I just thought that amount would likely be far below her means
@@Desert_Dreamin024 You can always tell when someone has no money because they always make some stupid blanket statement about rich people. 😂
FiDi is amazing. It has much better apartment quality, access to sunlight, and competitive pricing than East/West Village.
“It’s like 4200… which I feel is pretty good” meanwhile my broke ass is complaining about them raising my rent from 1486 to 1786 for my 1bedroom in Denver 😭
Wow I love your vlogging style 🎉❤ Greetings from Switzerland, Susanne
I used to live in an old walk-up in East Village on St. Marks Place and the building is actually on the cover art of led zeppelin's physical graffiti album. the bathroom was tiny but i loved being so close to all of the restaurants.
St Marks was at one point, the apex of counter culture Hippiedom in NYC!
Also wanted to add regarding those rooftop and outside areas ... you would be lucky to use them 5 months a year based on New York's weather!
The one for $3800 for all the steps is not a good enough deal for all the steps. JMHO. I still think it’s nicer in Cali. By comparison in Ankeny, IA- I pay $1050 for one bedroom. I’m ground floor with exterior entrance, and washer/dryer in my apartment. Plus I pay extra $150 for an over sized garage. Great video Shelby!
Yeah I thought that place was terrible in general.
these are great. I am looking for too as I am planning to move next year.
This video is the best one I've ever seen for the apartment tours. These are actually really great deals!
Definitely agree!!
It's so beautiful, love New York
Apartment looks so amazing !
I know there's a certain magic to living in NYC but I can't for the life of me, imagine paying that much. Especially that East Village one that's the size of a shoe box for $3,500/month.
For one year just spend what you are happy with, but we all know you love light, just remember it is NY, not always that sunny... Good Luck! Oh, also remember you can hear all those sirens up in those apartments! You can see I am leaning more to LA... LOL.. I am back, guess you did not see the L in Chicago, it is mostly above ground... ok, back again, that bathroom at 10:20 or so how in the world do you turn it on without getting soaked or frozen?
i used to live in nyc, so these videos are so fun to watch even though i do not intend to return. OMG so small living space. claustraphobia
I am not regretting my move out of Manhattan this year, even though I still work in Manhattan.
@@user73958 i agree. i live in suburbs now. nyc commute must be tough!
Notification squad!!!
Great content! My niece just moved to New York and is looking in the Bronx so it's interesting to see other areas. It's weird that some places are charging 100.00 extra a month to use outside area. What about when it snows or during the winter? At least here Southern CA you can still sit outside in January. 😉🌞 As you can see...I'm Team CA for you living here on the sunny side.😄
Exactly my mortgage on a 4 bedroom house in LA is the same price as a 1 bedroom in NYC and I’m 15min from the beach in a better climate!
@@gjd424
Yeah, but in LA, you guys are dealing with the effects of climate change. I was actually just in Irvine for work, and there are just a ton of issues. Lack of water. Fires. It's like anything else when it comes to real estate. It's location, location, location. New York is a state that has access to some of the largest fresh water sources in the world. If we're talking apartments, fine, LA is great. If I were buying my forever home, however, I'd rather do NY than LA.
While crime has definitely gotten better, the Bronx is still not the safest borough. One of the nicer areas is Riverdale, but you're kinda isolated and it will take you a while to get to Manhattan from there. Plus it's not really where young people live. Queens is nicer/safer than the Bronx and is cheaper than Manhattan or Brooklyn. Don't even bother with Staten Island! I'm a life-long New Yorker and don't think I've been there more than half a dozen times! 😂
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 Well, Southern CA is not only L.A...San Diego is in Southern CA and it's beautiful. Yes, lots of climate drama happening here but it's happening everywhere not only CA. However, I agree with you regarding NY water...it's delicious!
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 Wow! Thank you for that info! Will def pass on your info to my niece...very helpful.
Keep on exploring apartments in Brooklyn and maybe Long Island City, Queens!
Your friends voice is crazy! 😂😂😂😂
i dunno why i like watching these videos. Im not gonna be getting a NYC apartment anytime soon
Same for me hopefully in the future when I'm older I can 😅 because its a dream
Def go with the 19 Dutch one.
All the apartments are so good, but i love this: 7:34
Absolute insanity!! 🤯😂
Some apartments may be cheaper but you need to have that 40x the rent and 650 or above credit score so what ever the apartment cost times that by 40 these are definitely the areas I’d love to live in
I actually really like that Midtown West/Hell's Kitchen area! So if you can get a good deal there, that's awesome
How much was the second to last one? Did I miss the price?
These are all very nice upscale apartments in building with amenities, but they're far more expensive than many of us could afford.
Cash Jordan would love the unit in The Dime, with the mirrored medicine cabinet.
Too bad she didn’t do the tour with Cash! 😂 He knows all about undiscovered gems no one else could find in NY! 😊
@@NormanF62 but who would hold the camera?
That would be awesome to see Shelby and Cash do a video together. Maybe one day if she moves to NYC....
@@hansonelthey have done videos together
village, chelsea, soho, tribeca, or upper west side 😊
Nice hope you enjoy NYC I am thinking of spending a significant amount of time there someday
You should come to SLC, Utah. Honestly the coolest place.
These 2 are made for each other!
I'm renting a studio for my daughter in East Village who is an NYU student - Loves it there.
So beautiful! Found a gorgeous rental in Brooklyn with breath taking views that you should check out. Its at 306 Gold st. Ap 33G
If you don't already have it, have you thought about putting debit card paying washer and dryer in your Airbnb?
If you're paying that much rent, the facilities such as rooftop garden and gym should be included!
Jersey City or Hoboken another option close to NYC?
So interesting to see! What are your thoughts on buying? The monthly rent is just so insane, esp with added amenities.
That's the angle I was thinking to... and when you're sick of NY you can sublet it out to pay the mortgage and then some...
New York is a very wild place with the pricing
Nice apartments.
The 2nd one was ok but the amenities for the win
