That was all last year though. Rents are WAY HIGHER now. They really lowered the prices in 2020/2021 because everyone had left the city during quarantine, but now that the city has been back for a while the rents Were raised again. I also moved here last year with two friends, we got a 3b/2br apartment in Upper Manhattan for $2,700. Now our lease is about to expire, so I’ve been apartment-hunting again, and the same amount of money won’t get me more than a studio around here.

Don’t get me wrong, I love watching apartment tours from rich KZfaqrs who pay $3000+ for rent but at the same time, all of my friends and family members don’t pay all of that for living here lol. My parents have a 2 bedroom in Brooklyn for only $1,500. It’s so spacious and in a beautiful neighborhood and way bigger than those apartments in the city. I also live in a 2 bedroom in Queens that has a backyard and parking for only $1,600. So many non-new Yorkers think that they have to live in the city but there are other boroughs too lol. I mean, if you have the money then go for it. I wish I can afford to live in the city! But it can be discouraging to those who want to move to NYC but think they can’t afford it

Finally! A realistic apartment hunt video. I loved this so much! Like you, I'm always frustrated by the other videos that act like only Manhattan and Williamsburg are the only two places to search for apartments in NYC. I live in the South Bronx, myself, so I know all about the affordability of the outer boroughs... and living where these out-of-state transplants are apparently afraid to go. I'm currently living alone in a studio slightly bigger than yours, and it runs me $1530/mo (up from $1480 after my latest lease renewal). I'm near both the D and 4 trains, with the 2 and 5 trains only a further 10 mins walk away. It takes me only 20 minutes to reach midtown Manhattan by subway from where I live, so I actually find it hilarious how out-of-towners are so scared to rent in my neighborhood. It's quite silly, especially considering how much cheaper it is here. My studio has a large living space, a separate antechamber before the living room (where I keep my desk and bookshelves and workout equipment), a separate kitchen, and 3 huge closets! One of the closets is a walk-in with a double row for hanging clothes. There also is an in-building (not "in-unit") laundry room in the basement that has 4 modern washers and 4 dryers. Thanks for this video. I'm actually thinking about moving from the Bronx (I was born and raised here) to Brooklyn. I wouldn't want to live in the so-called trendy parts of BK though, but the areas that are more filled with immigrants and fellow brown people. These are also the places hipsters and transplants never consider, so it's not too bad even for BK. But, hey, after watching your video -- I might just have to consider moving to Queens instead. The Dominican side of my family lives there, so I'm not unfamiliar with Elmhurst and Corona and Flushing, etc. Very diverse!

I loved the vid. I wish other apartment hunters would tour apartments that are more realistic and affordable for the average person, but they are looking for their dream place with the budget that they have. I always wonder how in the world can a early 20 something afford a $3000 apartment when there are people that have been working for decades and they can't even afford that. It's sad that the cost to put a roof over your head is sooooo expensive. And NY is not the only city that the rent is crazy in, but that you for sharing that you see the issue with rent and even when it is affordable for you, it can still be a struggle because you still have to live and survive.

Interesting, i lived in Queens (Astoria) for about 7 years, but moved to a 1br in lower Manhattan during in early-2021 when rents were super low, and I’m loving it. I’m currently paying exactly what you’re paying, although it’s going up to $1,900 when the pandemic deal ends. Also, at least for me, it was 40X the rent, not 70X, and I believe a 700+ credit score, although I honestly don’t even know if they ran it because I was approved in less than a day. There were so many empty apartments in early 2021 that the whole process only took a couple of days. I guess it’s much more competitive now?

Any advice for young living once you’re moved in? You said it’s been hard but manageable. Thanks! Great vid

I want to clarify for you guys, when she says NYC, she is referring to manhattan. Which is one of the five boroughs that comprise NYC. Queens is another borough of NYC. These youtube vids that talk about $2k+ apartments are mostly in the popular parts of Manhattan. Being the popular part of NYC, the rent there is very expensive. You can find cheaper rent FOR SURE in the other boroughs or in the very upper side of manhattan

So glad for this type of video. Queens does not get enough love, and let’s be real, these days if you can’t afford Manhattan you basically can’t afford Brooklyn either!

I don't know why I hear nobody talking about Washington heights. It's a neighborhood in Manhattan and their prices are insane for NYC prices. I saw so many apartments for under 2k. And you can easily split that with a roommate. And Washington heights is in Manhattan of all boroughs. Living in Manhattan for under 1k (if you split rent with a roommate) is insane.

Thanks for sharing your experience - it’s helpful for a lot of folks who are looking and may need a bit of guidance on how to get started. It’s incredible how much some of the young people are spending to live in Manhattan with roommates in tiny spaces in walk up buildings! You were lucky to find this apartment and I love the layout - definitely worth the price… is your place rent stabilized? I know the building is but I wasn’t sure if the law changes once the apartment was vacated, renovated and set at a market rate rent. Elmhurst is such a diverse neighborhood that has been changing over the last 10 years - it’s interesting to see the evolution and I do love the fact even with these changes it has still retained the cultural fabric it’s known for.

never knocking anyone's decisions, but i think it's so much more worth it to be happier in an apartment that you can afford AND love and not just moving somewhere for the "aesthetic." as far as I know, it is stabilized. i was born in elmhurst and it's so crazy to come back to live here after so many years. thank you so much for watching again 💖💖

@@mohuyakhan I couldn't agree with you more - at the end of the day, everyone makes their decision that's best for them and their circumstances. Elmhurst has been good to me since I came to the US over 30 years ago. It's a great neighborhood - especially for anyone who's looking for a diverse community close to the city and with great public transportation. I've been enjoying your channel and look forward to your content as it's always refreshing and so relatable! Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences, observations and providing a very unique voice on You Tube! Well done!!!

I don't live in new york, but LA. My rent here is 800. I don't live in an apartment, but I did tour apartments that were 3,000 for a three bedroom, so a thousand each. Or 1500 for a one bedroom.. It can be done even in cities were influencers loved to live in the most expensive places possible

Great video! Nice apartments for sure. But tbh I’m curious if you misspoke regarding the commute on the first one. LIC is closer to the city than Astoria and Jackson Heights. No way that it takes 45 min to get to Manhattan to LIC

that's what I thought too! but those were the realtors words for the commute, not mine

Great video. Definitely more realistic than what I've seen in other videos. Which realtor/website did you use to find that apt with very little counter space? I don't cook and that place was perfect. I would like to find something similar.
