If you end up moving into a building without an elevator or laundry services, doing laundry can end up being tedious especially in a walk up building. Amazon sells portable washers/dryers that you can hook up to your kitchen sink via a hose (reasonably priced)😊. Another nyc tip is that these older buildings can have roaches or mice. As far as roaches/bedbugs go I recommend buying more of a professional brand spray at home depot & spraying arnd your place 1x month as preventive maintenance.
FYI Hells Kitchen is a super safe hood. The worst you’d deal with are annoying tourists and crazy homeless if you hang too close to Time Square. There aren’t really any ‘unsafe’ areas of Manhattan, even with the recent uptick of crime. NYC is the safest big city in the country.
I was looking for comment about her saying she didnt feel safe in Hells kitchen. The only place in Manhattan that I really feel is dangerous is Harlem. And even so Harlem really isnt as dangerous as people make it out to be. Besides shootings and gang violence (which barely occurs) and the amount of homeless people (who are mostly by the main streets: 116th, 125th etc.) thats pretty much it. So it was really surprising hearing her say that Hells kitchen made her unsafe.
No, Oklahoma City is one of the biggest cities in the US. And it's 1000 times safer than NYC!
@@TheJerrydon575 Oklahoma City has one of the highest crime rates per capita in the country, what are you talking about?
@@artlesscalamity348 according to whom?
@@TheJerrydon575 Dude. Stop trying to argue about this - it’s data. Statistics. YT does not allow links, you have to Google it yourself. It’s very easy to do this research. Stop bothering me about it.
I love how you just say “it wasn’t meant to be” when they didn’t work out. Love the positivity 😁
Yes! Thank you!
Hells Kitchen is an awesome neighborhood! Great restaurants on 8th and 9th. And a one bedroom for under $2500? A steal!
I'm now convinced New Yorkers are mentally insane.😂Do understand the kind of house... yet alone an APARTMENT that you can land in Louisiana or Florida for $2500 a month? $2500???? you'd be fully gated, full kitchen, 3 bedroom surrounded by nature parks and a block from the beach year round. Not a concert jungle.
The way that the second hell’s kitchen apartment was dirty was not from a tenant. That was neglect for years and years from the landlord. They weren’t going to clean that before you moved in. Cracked tiles? Good call on not renting that.
I live in Brooklyn and have lived there all my life. Im telling you I cannot wait to leave! The requirements for an apartment in NY is crazy! They be having the mf audacity to show dirty ass small apartments and they’re not even modern but be wanting modern money. I hope everything worked out and you love it. Good luck with everything, love!
Wow thats horrible, I moved to Texas and love it. The houses are affordable and beautiful here comparee to CA and NV which is where Im from.
It's crazy how small & choppy the rooms are. Some had modern amenities but most were nothing special for that kind of money. Looking around my 2 bedroom & the 1 bedroom is as big as most of those apartments 😂
You are so right that this content is needed. Most NYC Apt Hunting videos are so fat out of budget or they don't list their budget, which we all knows what that means. 🙄 Found your channel through this search, but subscribed for how likeable and relatable you are. Can't wait to see more of your NYC content!
These NYC apartments are atrocious and they should be ashamed for charging these ridiculous rental prices. Lived there all my life and paying all that rent was not worth it. Once I left I would never go back when I can get something immaculate for a fraction of the price.
Agreed, born and grew up there but left for graduate school and when I was done, I thought I’ll head back but stopped and questioned myself why I want to go back. no regrets 18 years later and every time I see news, weather or speak with People from NYC, I knew I made the right decision.
Where did you move to? If you dont mind me asking
I agree with you. I too left New York for greener pasture and life, specifically a home, is cleaner and spacious not being in NYC. I left NY for Texas and don't regret it at all.
great video, I love how you dove right into talking about the in-depth details within the first three minutes of the video.
This was so interesting and fun to watch!!! Can’t wait for the next one!
Thank you so much!! Yeah it’s crazy how complicated it is here to rent!
Shower in the kitchen took me out 😂❤love the video. I’m from Chicago and think it’s a great alternative to NY for the city feel but everything is updated and spacious for similar prices or cheaper. I moved to San Diego and now Dallas thinking about my next move🎉
That’s awesome inspiring
Looking forward to the next one. You have a wonderful attitude.
Ahh thank you so much!! This is really kind ❤️
"I fell in love with this apartment" and it's standing-room only, laid out like a jigsaw puzzle piece with bars on the windows and a toilet in the kitchen. $2500 usd per month.
Really appreciate this video! A lot of others really do have a mind blowing price range!
Congratulations wishing you many blessings on this new endeavor 🤍🙏🏻
Thank you so much 🥹🙏🏼
Omg it looks so stressful you guys looked so tired 😭😭😭 glad you guys found something perfect for you guys!! 🤍🤍🤍
It was exhausting! Thank you so much 🥹❤️
You should have looked in Astoria! I lived there for 25 years- VERY safe, quick commute to Manhattan- and you could have gotten a generous 1-BR with a full kitchen- for much less than $2500. Manhattan is a rip-off- all those apartments were dumps.
I love New York (born and raised in Staten Island and still here) the rents are going crazy everywhere, but there is nothing like New York!!
Thanks for this content! Im moving this year its so helpful!
omg, my best friend lived in the building that they looked at multiple small studios in Chelsea. fully renovated now, and used to be over 1000 a month cheaper. 21st and 7th above the wine store.
All of those apartments u showed were horrible. The landlords chopped up large apartments out of greed & made tiny apartments & charge desperate out of towners ridiculous rent prices. The neighborhoods r cool, but u will get tired of the tiny apt quickly. Looking @ apartments is even more stressful when the apartments r horrible.
I usu tell people 2 keep an open mind n NYC. Some of the neighborhoods u least expect 2 b good have really nice apartments. NYC has some really hit or miss places. Patience is everything.
Great video! Reminds me of our small apartments here in Boston. Also, trust me, you don't want a shower in the kitchen!! It's cute now but won't be after a short while.
So true! Thank you
It’s crazy how renting has become just as complicated if not MORE complicated than buying a home now days.
Congratulations 🎉 Thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you, and thank you so much for watching! 🫶🏼
I love this channel just found it. Many blessings.
GUSH GUSH GUSH....In Europe all you have to do is give copy of passport plus 1 st and last month payment...it varies , but no away it is so complicated😳😳😳
So glad you guys didn’t get that creepy one!!! 😮
So happy for you both 🎉
Oh gosh never!!!
Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
Can’t wait to see your next video!
Can’t wait to share ❤️
I noticed that your NOT listing what the square footage is of these apartments. From what I can see a lot of these studio apartments are less than a two car garage. It is absolutely insane to think about spending that much money for so little.
The best thing you did in this video was give the Vital Information about what's going to be required to even be considered..👍👍
8:16 nothing could have prepared me😮
my jaw dropped
Congratulations on moving to NYC! ❤
Thank you so much ❤️
@@aniessa_emilio No problem!
Great video. Although I’m not moving to New York, I was interested to see what NYC had to offer in 2023. I’m personally considering moving to Miami, Florida, but I thought I’d take a break from the 305, and do research on other major cities, such as NYC, LA, Atlanta, etc.
Miami is beautiful but very pricey
However if I get to pay a lot for a place to live like these apartments in NY, I would much rather pay that much I will do it in Miami
NY is depressing
Same! I’ve never been to NYC, based on what I’ve ever (good and bad) I’ve never had a desire to move there but I like seeing what other cities have to offer so I thoroughly enjoyed this video 😊….but that dirty bathroom? Someone needs to go ahead and demolish it…no amount of Lysol in the world is gonna make that place clean again 😂
I believe that should be 40 times your monthly rent, not annual rent. At $2000 a month that would be $24,000 annually. $24,000 x 40 is $960,000.
Yes you’re right. Just 2,000 x 40 is 80,000 you’d need to be making :)
Great video! I can't believe how tiny the apartments are.
I know!!
this is very much appreciated!
That one restroom that was literally FALLING apart and they just had a bottle of vinegar in there like??? What's that going to do when half of the tiles are cracked and falling out
We are ready for your next video!!! 😂
Yay!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼
I always check under the bathroom and kitchen sinks for bugs anywhere in NYC
Anywhere where there's pipes, make sure there's no gaps. It needs a seal to keep out vermin.
Also check where the building keeps trash to check upkeep and cleanliness.
I need the apartment reveal rn!!!! 😍
Just posted it 🫶🏼
Yeah, if the landlord can't even bother cleaning/updating to get the place rented, you can be sure that maintenance and getting something fixed once you're in will be "challenging".
u can scan stuff in ur notes app if u have an iphone by the way to the ppl who don’t wanna download an app. i dont know ab samsung and stuff tho
TY for this video! I'm from TX and wanna move there in the near future... so thank you for this info sis! Just subs. :)
Awwwwww this was so cute!!! I’m so glad you guys found a place!! Ps I love the Prince cameo 🥹🥹
Aww thank you so much for watching 🫶🏼🫶🏼 yes we are so happy!! Haha of course 🤪
super informative video, thanks for sharing
Wow...to be young and in Nyc😊😊😊 the best decade of my life was in Nyc in my late 20s early 30s....that city is like no other place in the world...enjoy 😮😅
Prices in NYC are insane, but finding an apartment in Berlin in two weeks would be a dream
I live in Manhattan and pay $5,000 to $5, 700. Month
Congratulations 🎊 👏
Thank you 🤗
Great Video and Enjoy living in NY!! As a former NYER I can't believe the requirements!!!! My grandmother lived in a rent stabilized apartment in Harlem/Lenox Terrace. We had a doorman, incinerator, washer and dryers in the basement it was fantastic!! Now this was almost 30 years ago but it was a couple hundred dollars. Boy how times have changed. Loved growing up there but love my 2430, four bed, three bath 🏡 in Florida! I really enjoy seeing how people decorate such small spaces. ☺️
Thank you so much!! Yeah they’re pretty intense! Wow, I would of loved to be here during that time. Probably so cool!! Yeah we just moved from 14 acres, enjoy Florida! ❤️ thank you for watching !
God, I loved the one in SoHo, even with the shower in the kitchen. Lol.
Your brother commentary is hilarious!!!!! Omg lol. Enjoyed the video. Best wishes! 🎉
So funny!!! aww thank you so much!! Means a lot that you took your time to watch. Thank you again ❤️
I was going to say you could move to Bklyn. I have a very nice apartment in one of the best neighborhoods, 15 mins to Manhattan for $2500. Nice separate bedroom, living room and eat in kitchen
tell me more please
Which area?
@@mariumimran4464 In Park Slope and prospect heights area. But there are deals to be had outside of Manhattan in other Boroughs. This apartment is also a good one.
a lot of people are just hang up on Manhattan and assume Bklyn is the hood@@Myraisins1. Those apts in the video are so filthy there is no way i could live in them. I also save more money on food living in Bklyn. But everyone needs to experience Manhattan if they wish lol.
@@mvpglam8018 Yes. I have friends living in a huge old school 2 bed apartment. Separate eat in kitchen, separate living room and dining room with a backyard for $2200. Many apartments of a certain aesthetic have appeal to and are marketed to new transplants which is quite understandable. Those born and raised here find other options and maybe that's a good thing because rents keep increasing in general all over the city.
There was only one apt with a reasonably decent kitchen. Glad you didn’t take any of them. If you found a 2 bedroom in that price range enjoy for as long as you can, but be ready for increases every single year.
Yeah I’m glad I didn’t either. Yes I’m gonna hold on to it for dear life haha
13:07 That’s so annoying. I’m so sorry y’all had to go through that!
Yeah it sucked but wasn’t meant to be. 🫶🏼
Came across your video, I love watching these NYC apartment hunting videos even though I’ll in canada and have no interest in moving there but I love NYC.
I gotta say, your brother is FINE! (I assume your bro since you said your partner wasn’t with you, no disrespect intended lol)
im surprised the realtor took you all the way down to china town but they didnt send you to harlem. you could definitely find something in your budget up there. realtors are self serving.
Yeah, my friend lives in Harlem and pays soooo much less for her apartment, which, surprisingly enough, always has rotating openings.
@@clairebeane3455 today, 2023 there are all kinds of renovations going on and the streets are much cleaner. lets hope the rents stay affordable.
@@spicynomad Let’s hope so because I will probably be relocating there in a year. Not sure just how I’m going to swing it so I’m feverishly binge watching anything and everything in preparation.
@@clairebeane3455 i thought mayor adams sent the immigrants to brooklyn. nope! there are is a shelter there on lenox. if the city cant take care of the home less we already have why take on these immigrants? they should have sent them to park avenue. these people wont get help in harlem. i hope you find a nice bldg though. the city have neglected harlem for years so now i hope they do better and take care of these immigrants.
@@spicynomad It’s such a tough dilemma as Staten Island has always been the port of entry for immigrants. I agree though. One must clean up their own backyard before inviting in more houseguests.
I'm with you, I think your on to something with these tours in a more realistic price range. Keep em coming and jump right into the apartments, nobody wants all the run up and the wasted three minutes of fluff. Show the stuff and show the price. Good luck going forward
me: no interest to live in nyc again
also me: omg!!! NYC APARTMENT HUNTING | $2,000-2,500 budget - area included
omg!! so relatable I watched so many videos before moving! haha
I love your videos btw!! thanks for the watch
So you must have an $80K annual gross income to rent a $2K monthly apartment. The cosignor must make $160K annually? I would move to another borough or Long Island. Rentals in Manhattan are crazy and seemingly dirty. To move in, you need the monthly rent x three (security deposit, first and last month's rent). Broker fee can be negotiated. Not worth it.
I pay the equivalent of 770 usd/month for my 2 br Montreal apartment with 12 ft ceilings, bay windows, and natural light in every room. I'm here trying to figure out why normal people want to live in Manhattan when this is what they spend and what they get?
40 times?!
Yes!
I know 😂😂 I couldn't live there even if I was earning double my salary
Is this just for the Manhattan area? I ask because I’ve been looking around Staten Island and I have not seen this crazy list of requirements, I’m from Alabama trying to move to NYC, I chose Staten Island because it’s more affordable but I hope to god that the Island doesn’t have this many requirements.
the list of requirements in the video is pretty standard. It can vary somewhat, but I don't think that staten island is going to be completely different than what is in the video. For people thinking of moving to New York City, I would usually recommend taking a look at a co-living solution, or an AirBnb, preferably close to your desired neighborhood, so that you are able to get a feel of the neighborhood and can physically view apartments.
folks sleep on Harlem, but would rather spend 1K more in rent to live around coffee shops and expensive bakeries. What kind of work you doing because a croissant and coffee taste the same in Harlem. Duh!. My friend pays $2,000 for a 750 sq ft studio. New appliances and new building. Move to Harlem!
Did you guys stay in a hotel while you were hunting? I have to do the same and I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is?
Hi! Yes we stayed at the motto by Hilton! Best option. I’m sure your can stay in a Airbnb too but hotel is always easier with check in/check out!
Okay when you say 40x the annual rent , does that mean if rent is 12,000 annually, you need to make 400,000 k? That can’t be right ?
You are lovely. I love your headband.
Thank you so much
@@aniessa_emilio be 😊 happy in my beloved New York
Hells Kitchen is mostly fine, unless the building is on a sketchy street. A good friend of mine lives there and he loves it.
What if we move there from outside of USA ? I’m gonna move from canada. Does anyone know if I can show my taxes from canada? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
So you went to see the apartments in the area where you don't feel safe and you don't want to live there?
I love New York.
Its just too expensive
Like, like like you know!!!
Anything under 500 in NY (or near it) ?
Well, with all due respect, Emilio was unemployed, at that time, even though he had had interviews. Did you expect all landlords to not follow NYC rules for you (no shade intended)?
spend more, $3k, if two are working that is not hard to cover $1500 each/mo.
What about living just outside NYC? I grew up in Westchester County and right now you can rent beautiful apartments in that price range close to the metro. Those apartments were in terrible condition.
Westchester apartments are 4 k to 10 k
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I feel bad bc I would never recommend anyone to live in lower Manhattan unless you had a huge budget and even then, why would you want to. I wouldn’t even leave my house to view any of these tiny apartments, especially to share with a partner. Manhattan honestly sucks unless you’re upper Manhattan but then again, I’m black and a guy from nyc so I feel a lot safer than you probably would in most neighborhoods and it may be too much of a culture shock for you as well. The MTA exists, there’s literally no reason to require walking distance to work in Manhattan especially with a small budget of $2.5K for two ppl.
Hi , i love you videos and i really like the way you share all the important matter. I hope you can help me get in touch with your broker so i can find a place to live in manhattan. Thank you!
Ok, I live in Belgium and oh my God, are Americans super rich or what???? 2000-2500 $ a month???????? That's basically my whole paycheck, and here in Belgium that's considered not bad. I could never ever afford 2000-2500 $ a month! 😱😱😱😱😱
No this is a New York thing - not an American thing. America is HUGE and what you see in New York City is very different than the rest of the country. 🥰
Dear God, I'm from Europe and to me this all seems very expensive for a small square meter you get for that money......And such a difficult battle to get a contract for an apartment is like a fight with bulls. New York is really a very expensive city ... for that money I get 60m2 in the center of Paris
NY is one of the most expensive cities in the US
Restroom?
Limp bizkit ❤❤❤
What? Haha
Thank god I live in New Jersey ms. gurl because paying $2000 to close $3000 it crazy for that you should just save and buy a home instead not pay rent like that, this is why I hate NYC and I would never live in the city...
Don’t tell the area. Loved your video!
You’re right !! Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Those apartments were so small and the price of them were ridiculous
40x the annual rent?!?? So for 2,000x12 months = 24,000 rent annually… you therefore have to be earning 24,000x40 = $960,000 a year 😮😮 is that right or am I confused?!?
Because I earn 110,000 per year and can afford 2,000 a month so that seems crazy to me.
Maybe you mean you have to earn 40xthe monthly rent annually… so therefore 80,000/year? Lol sorry for being confused.
It’s definitely 40x the monthly, not annual
Definitely not x annual but x monthly.
I didn’t catch my self saying that I’m sorry. So 2,000 x 40 so 80,000 :)
Thanks Aniessa, for the correction! Yes, I couldn't figure out your math and if you both made that required off the charts salary why you were even considering the places you were showing us. So thanks: Yes, Monthly rent x 40--@@aniessa_emilio
All those apartments you showed are super small for two people.
Wow I could never live in those tiny hamster cages.
whats your brothers @? asking for a friend
No way in hell. These apartments are smaller than my closet.
wow.. $2400 for such a tiny space
Why do people live in NYC? Why? This is insane for people who live in a state with way less people and way more space.
You have the patience of Job. This is one reason why I will NEVER live in New York City.
Yeah it does take a lot of patience
Great video..the only critique is the background music when you speak..a bit distracting 😊
Noted!
they should be ashamed to rent something that bad from hallways to that awful apartment
No way! Price gouging for nasty places.. tiny tiny boxes... if u lived in Tennessee.. for 2500 month...you would (own ). a 3-4 bedroom HOME With land!!!! Sorry ppl take advantage in NYC....
I can't believe ALL the fees! Do you have to have on hand the percentage for the broker if it's on the yearly rent??? Yikes. All that money just for renting...So sad.
Yeah it’s a lot! Yes! I wish it was simpler too but it’s just so competitive so they can do whatever they want.

I’m sorry but it’s NOT worth it. NY has so much negative energy. I lived here for over a decade and I’m honestly working on leaving. It’s fun while you’re in your early 20s. The things that I have witnessed and experienced being here has changed my mind. It’s a love/hate but honestly it’s not worth the stress and anxiety. Everyone is on edge and are irritated, especially commuting on the subway. There are too many sacrifices to be here. Working in a hamster wheel for what? It’s smoke and mirrors and the prices are criminal. I’m leaving as soon as I can.
You resemble Sofia Richie
