I think this was the first video I made specifically for youtube and I CRINGE SO HARD at my stupid voice and how young and self conscious I was. Keeping it up anyway because a lot of you found it useful. Sorry about my voice.
This is a 3rd story walk up railroad style apartment in Buswick, Brooklyn. The building was constructed in 1910. It's a relatively safe neighborhood, with easy access to Manhattan.
Thanks so much for watching! :)

Thank you for actually telling us how much you pay for an apartment in Bk! Never understood why people would never share. Great apartment. (:

@StefanieHurtado 7 жыл бұрын

Vanessa Abena Haha yeah, no problem! I think a lot of people are embarrassed about how much they spend to live in NYC. I've seen a lot of comments on other videos where people say, "That's stupid! You can live in a mansion in Oklahoma for that price!" Hahah! But I'm confident with my decision to make sacrifices to pursue my dreams, so idc 🤷🏻‍♀️🕺🏻

Many people just like to show off and pretend that the price doesn't matter.

@@DDios-ih9deMany yeas I got one small building in Greenpoint I know What I'm talking about it...same size and floor plans you can rent in Union City NJ for 1,300 in Hoboken 2,500 or more..."utilities" (electricity, water and heating, many landlord are switching for electric heater) believe or not, but is the true.

Great apartment! A friend of mine in Park Slope has a railroad apartment! You get a lot of rooms, plus 2 entrances so it's very versatile. Trust me, $1900 for that in New York is a great deal! You have people paying $2500 for a studio! Thanks for sharing!

@StefanieHurtado 7 жыл бұрын

Oh for sure! Especially places in Manhattan or along the Brooklyn waterfront. It pays off to be a little further out :)

People paying that price are actually in the city.

Actually, there are also places in Brooklyn where studios are going upwards of $2000 a month. Check out the new high-rise buildings in downtown Brooklyn. This area of Brooklyn is being called the New Manhattan.

J SMITH it's called gentrification, those places been there for decades

@jsmith5509 7 жыл бұрын

No doubt , gentrification is real! I was speaking of the NEW buildings going up and the ones that have opened over the last year or so. These are newly built buildings so they have not been there long. Some have not begun leasing yet, but on their web pages, you are given a breakdown of floor plans, and price.

I lived in the same apartment in the early 1990's. It was on 12th street between 8th and the park. We paid 500 dollars a month. It was originally built as dormitory for the men that worked in the clock factory in Park Slope.

I lived in williamsburg/bushwick in 2010, so I've been scouring youtube for videos and living on craigslist to have a good idea of what's available at what price point now. I was thinking I was going to move back to the same area, but now I see they're taking down the L train for 15 months starting Jan 2019! But we shall see!

I KNEW exactly what you were going to say next concerning the heat. There’s been days where it’s like 60 degrees outside and the heat is on full blast. When it’s below freezing, the heat is either off or extremely low. But they claim it’s working fine bc the heat we get is based off the outdoor AND indoor temperature. I think it’s rigged that way. I’m convinced. TOOOO many ppl are complaining of the same exact problem. So much so, it was on the news.

It's annoying, at times! In 2003, Grace Kelly's little overnight bag she carried in the movie came up for auction. I wanted it SO BAD! I did not on it, but did not win :( I believe my final bid was $950! It would have been soooo worth it!

I don't think people are being secretive or snobby about not disclosing rent prices, most people just don't talk about money like that. If you live between DC and New York you know what we pay to live in spaces that most people would call tiny. Rental rates vary by space, location to trains, etc so knowing what someone's rent is isn't helpful to anyone unless you're going to make a donation. $1900 is great btw.

@AuNaturale2012 6 жыл бұрын

AmeriKraut it is actually helpful especially if people want a realistic idea of how much they will be spending if they actually move and it's better than going on websites like trulia or Craigslist because you're getting a full view of what these apartments look like. I do agree that it's not snobby to no disclose rent but I mean honestly ppl know that these questions are going to be asked when they upload these types of videos. I don't see the reason not to disclose it, it's not like the people are asking for their address 😂😂😂

@dianajenkins6928 4 жыл бұрын

I really like your apartment. Never looked at real estate in NY. But for that much space your rent doesn’t seem all that bad . I live in a 2 bedroom house in Illinois, I know Illinois stinks, but I also have 5 acres of property and my mortgage is less than $600 a month.
