It's amazing how there are so many badly designed small flats/houses commanding such ridiculous rental prices.

Not sure if folks know, but buildings in NYC get graded on their energy efficiency. Similar to the way restaurants post their Health Dept. letter grades in the window, buildings do as well. This one has a D. That means the building is not doing such a good job. A lot of people may not care about this, but I think it's important info to know. Plus, it just looks worn out to me.

Seeing all these comments about how $517,000 is not a bad price for this toothpaste tube astounds me. However, the entertainment one receives watching CASH describe it is definitely worth it...☺️

Cheap finishes and poor workmanship are evident. @ 5:35, The laminate countertop wasn't trimmed off properly. @ 5:40 and @ 6:40 What the heck is going on with that untrimmed tile backsplash behind the stove and bathroom sink? For the price they are asking, they should have hired a professional to work on this place.

This is what half a million get you in Manhattan? 🤣🤣 4:09 I like how she says the exact asking price but doesn't say the exact amount of what the common charges are making it seem like a bargain because it under $1200 a month. 5:03 Yes, massive air conditioner but were going to ignore the rust spot on the bottom corner which indicates thats where it may occasionally drip water from instead of outside in the rear. 5:33 They went with cheap Formica Laminate counter tops but didnt bother to get the end cap kit to seal the particle board to help prevent it from absorbing moisture and making it swell. 5:38 Peal and stick? Someone decided it would be a good idea to put Peal and Stick behind a slide in Range? All the heat from the oven will vent from those slits close to the back splash and its bye bye peal and stick adhesive. They didnt even attempt to cut it to make it square either. 5:52 In all my years of installing kitchen cabinets, i can always laugh when they do not put the correct 24" deep cabinet above the fridge but I have never seen someone put the pulls at the top of that cabinets door. Never. 6:03 Unrated and overlooked feature. Theres a vent in the kitchen to suck out cooking smells. 6:40 Again, Peal and stick. Enough moisture and heat will make the edges rise then it will look tacky. 8:12 Its to mount a TV. String lights can be good but to make it look professional they will spend more of 45 degree channel diffusers than the lights themselves.

This apartment is cheaply done and the low loft heights will guarantee someone is going to knock their head. The apt. is located at the 59th street bridge area which means horrible exhaust and 24hr. traffic noise. Whoever owned this must have done it years ago because it's outdated and dreary. Pass on this one.

Gotta love how he makes all these overpriced places seem like a steal

Bridge traffic all day means you can't open windows without breathing car exhaust. Apt only faces north so no direct sunlight. Ground floor requires steel bars which makes it feel like jail. Maintenance charges kind of high for a ground floor studio apt. Dimensions too quirky for most people. Midtown east is a boring neighbrhd but pretty safe.

Condo fees plus taxes $1200 a month, eek. $468k (10% down) is $2,512 a month (30 yrs @ 5%) = $3,700 a month.

DINER FRENCH TOAST REALLY DOES HIT SOOO DIFFERENT!!!!!

I'm from Greece and i'm renting a newly constructed (built in 2019) 50 sqm (538sqft) apartment fully furnished with a balcony and with all the bills icluded ( internet, electricity, water) and my rent total is 575 euros (it's the exact same price in dollars) it's so funny and rediculous to see the rent prices in New York for such badly contructed apartments

💙 Cash, you are now my favorite KZfaqr..even though I will never have a reason to move to New York..having you to show me New York is 100% win win for me..You’re such a great entertainer, I wouldn’t want to see the city with anyone else..Much love 💕 NOLA🎭🎷🎭 Gee

let me see your your hand if you're also binge watching his videos even though you're halfway across the world with no plans to move to New york (or even the States). EDIT: Hi, y'all!

3.000 dollars for a storage room? Welcome to NYC. 😄

These prices are disgusting. But watching Cash makes it worth it - he is great fun and it is very informative too. Great apartment despite the cost

My dream apt when I was 20. No way now that I'm 40. Cool place though.

Looks like it was built in the Sims.

If you research this unit it was under contract back in February 2022 but the deal fell thru. When that happened they raised the price another couple of thousand dollars. Also there is a current assessment of almost $100 added to the monthly common & tax charges for the next 3 years. The last time this was sold was prior to 2000 & has been rented out since about 2004. It does need updating, especially in the kitchen area. If the owner didn't want to go for granite counters at least they should have installed quartz

That apt is so awesome. Thanks for all your hard work… I will never live in NYC, but I love your videos. Take care

It's more interesting than the usual studio, though it's only for short people. The kitchen is spacious, though I wonder about the unfinished look to the stove backsplash and the outlet over the sink. Someone below mentioned that the peel-and-stick tile won't tolerate the heat from the stove. The a/c may be "massive", but it looks old. The ladder/steps would be tricky in the middle of the night, so the occupant needs to be young as well as short. With a $2,500/month mortgage and $1,200/month in taxes and fees it's not cheap.

I always liked the area, but I couldn't live with bars on the windows, but , that's me. Plus navigating those stairs in the middle of the night, wouldn't be anything I'd want to do, but hey, a lot of people love this unit, so who am I to say. The finishes could be better also.

I was ready for Cash to say the small nook upstairs was for the mother in law 💁🏽‍♀️

I like the building. The thing is if you wake up late at night and have to use the bathroom you have to walk down those stairs. Kind of treacherous. But overall it's very nice. Nice neighborhood too. See ya

The restaurant is Canaletto! It's been there for a bazillion years, and it was one of my parents' favorite spots!

$519K for a studio send a little high. Yes it has a 24 hour doorman & a beautiful lobby but you don't live in the lobby. Yes it's a nice neighborhood with tons of shopping & restaurants (albeit overpriced). But omg $1200 a month common charges??? You can definitely do better

Not a bad price for a Manhattan apartment...but 1st floor? Nope. Hate that people walking by could just rap on your window and always hate the prison bars needed on lower floor apartments for safety.

1200 a month in fees! That's 500 more than my mortgage payment,no thanks

You did a good video to service the sale of the apartment. It may be a decent apartment consideration the price but there are some obvious problems to consider. I think the floorspace is just too small and the ceiling height in the loft and below the loft is a problem if you are a tall person. The living/dining does not look 11x17, maybe they are including the kitchen in that measurement. The neighborhood is noisy because of the 59th Street Bridge traffic. The dressing closet is limited because it is also a hallway to the bathroom.

Common charges and taxes....holy cow! Less than $1200 so that means over $1100 added onto your mortgage...who can afford ANYTHING anymore? And those stairs...come on. Crazy cramped living room, no dining room. More of the jail style bars on the window. Claustrophobic kitchen. You can't even fully stand up in the loft! LOL God this is just awful.

Ur pretty close to Billionaires row. This is a nice escape place for a rich person who visits NYC. I like it.

this lofty studio apartment is really nice and set up really well. real estate agents and owners from Sydney, Australia take note we could use some of these in other areas of Sydney other than unilodge

I would still be worried about the stairs.

517k for this while in Texas, you could get a recently built modern house with a huge plot of land for roughly that price or cheaper. Nah I’ll pass. Lol.

Surprisingly well planned appartment. There are so many sacrifices that tiny apartments usually require. Tiny kitchen. No real storage. Boxy, closed in feel. This one has a very nice kitchen, open airy feel, good use of "dead space" and lots of storage. I guess $519,000 for NY is good. But here in Texas you could get a 5bed house with lots of outdoor space for that amount and even have money left over.

When you backed up to the railing on that loft I actually thought you might do a backflip down to the living room because the railing was too low.

I love how he asked if the nook could be rented cause that's exactly what I thought when he opened it up 😅

The common charge on top of the mortgage makes this insanely expensive. I bet the doorman makes minimum wage so… why is it so expensive?

Call it what it is, a galley kitchen!!! I love it that you are trying to upsell a shitty apartment!!!!!!!

Of course it isn’t perfect, but I like this design. Different but functional and provides space in the area you really need it. Washer/dryer hurts thought

I just can't get with a place that makes me plunk down money to buy it then makes me rent it while I live in it.

I really like that one. The price is still ridiculous though.

Thanks Cash agree it is a well thought out floor plan for using space but if you add up the 1200 $ a month with payments on a 500,000 morgage that is a very steep monthly payment for a tiny space to call home.

Texas! I live between Houston & Beaumont. 50 acres, 3500sq brick home built in 2015 on the bay, MASSIVE barn, fenced pastures, stocked fishing pond & chicken coop - we paid $450,000 (in 2015). I am a stay at home and my husband works. Our note is only $2300 a month!

I loved New York… as a retail buyer , I had the best of both worlds . Monthly trips to New York with the Theaters.. museums…shopping…shoe shopping galore…restaurants ….parks and, best of all, no unreasonable, overpriced rents…… just comfortable stays in hotels paid for by my employer.

Niiiice! I know someone who has a similar place in Portland for around the same price. I'd rather live in midtown Manhattan myself.

$517,000 is a 7 bedroom 3.5 bathroom house with an acer or 2 of land, a pool, a 2 car garage, and a 2 car detached garage in TX. WHY THE ACTUAL...... IS NY SO EXSPENSIVE? 😱😱

great video, love seeing that you got a helmet, nice!!!! and keep up the good work, you rock!

I would prefer first floor. I wouldn't want to lug groceries and food up steps.

Who installed those backsplashes and didn’t bother to cut off the excess tile on the sides?? Haha

This is Gonna B so Good CJ🔥🔥🔥👍….

Watching with my daughter! My b day! We love patsys pizza and she thinks is you’re hilarious!

I am really enjoying these videos, thank you.

Very good use of space and unique layout. But still too much for this amount of room. Nice neighborhood and full time doorman, but way too small for the price tag. Need an outdoor area. 😁

its adorable... its nearly perfection really... maybe kitchen i would replace the dishwasher with the stove and remove the other side for even more space,, the climbing of the steps and low ceiling might be an issue.. but i love the quirkiness of the loft and the nook.. i would definetly like this place! and its cheaper rent than some turds we have seen that cost more !

"The trains aren't too bad" OMG, Cash, those train times are AMAZING for someone who comes from a place where even peak hour trains only come every 15-20mins.......

If you have guests over you can spy on them in the living room? 😂 ok, Cash. Those kind of machines are the ones in my laundry room. They're fantastic.

I actually really liked this one . I've watched a lot of your videos and seen worse apartments listed for more $$$ . I especially like it cuz you COULD have company visiting but be able to get away from them. And there was a lot of storage. If I purchased it, I'd definitely upgrade it a little though. (not that I'm looking to move or anything, just speculating) Very cool!!!

Freeze frame at 0:01 - AWESOME SHOT! It's make a great album cover or horror movie poster.

It's 2022. I think most people prefer in unit washer and dryer. I do not understand why condo buildings and luxury apartment buildings do not have free washers and dryers in their laundry room (if they are unable to support in unit washer/dryer). Having to pay for each load really cheapens the living experience. I would rather pay more in rent or have higher association fees than have to pay for laundry in my own building.

A half million-dollar apartment where you have to stoop in every area in the upstairs bedroom loft is ridiculously overpriced. What if I have bad knees and/or lower back pain, which most Americans suffer from or will one day this apartment only accommodate a very small, no pun intended, portion of Americans.

Haven't watched yet. Intrigued to see how CashMath makes this the "cheapest in NYC". Later - Actually a surprising price for that neighborhood. Nice space. Lots of light. Very well laid out. Loft is easy to access and move around. Construction quality looks high. Not exactly "luxury" finishes, but nothing too precious you'd be afraid to sneeze around it either (easy to upgrade at this price if you wanted). Wish there was in-unit laundry. Oh well. Kitchen is nice with plenty of counter space.

Very nice but I definitely wouldn't want gas walking through my closet to get to the bathroom

I love watching your videos sometimes you are so funny

I love this unit! As much as I'd want to live on the west side, the more I've explored the east side just surprises me more and more!

517k for this… where I live, an apartment of this size and quality would go for about 40k MAX… omg

I would redo the whole loft. Including the rusted AC and the steep staircase.

Not Bad for NY and the Area .. love lofts ...narrowing stairs may be a problem tho ...it was cute ..

Thank you for sharing your cool crazy tour...You made me laugh about the 7-11 Store and the items sold there!!! Lol!! The restaurant here in mid-town are very nice it seems.. At least you do not have to go too far inorder to enjoy a nice meal...The apartment looks nice and by me being 6'2" I would have to be careful going up stairs to the loft area for bed...Again, thank you for your tour here...

Seems like a good value, I like having a bathroom connected to the Primary.

man this is what happens when we don't have walkable cities, its either pay out ass for a space like this or live out in suburbia/innawoods which not everyone wants to do. By design (through lobbying by corporate landlords and nimbys) we have shitty zoning; the lack of decent public transit also contributes to this problem. At least we get cash's videos.

I would make the loft the living room. Those stairs at night. No thank you.

For a cozy spot in an excellent neighborhood in Manhattan, really not that bad. Definitely beats renting a place if you can get a mortgage. Only downside is that it is on the first floor.

What a great space. This is prolly my fav small home so far- & I have watched every Cash video (sometimes twice). The space just makes sense & there is no wasted space. In unit laundry would make the place perfect, but the laundry room looks clean & well maintained. I am super short, 5”3, so this place would be perfect for just me. But, I would bet that somebody has already swooped it up to turn it into a rental. Very cool place!!

This loft is such a good of space. Having the large closet near the bathroom makes sense. The storage area upstairs would be great for off season clothes, suitcases, and linens.

Kind of gives me a mouse maze vibe! Not gonna lie! And the nook is where you would find your prize at the end of the maze! Hopefully one of those shops is a chiropractor. You will need it trying to stand up unless you were a short person. Thanks Cash for another fun walk through. How anyone can live in New York is beyond my comprehension! Bless all of you that live there! I beleive frugal originated there, it would have had to!!!!

Wow this is really nice! The set up is so functional and it looks fun!

8ft bathroom ceiling passing through a 6ft closet? Why not make 7ft high bathroom, enter through the hallway, then you get another ft in the loft and you can make the closet ceiling lower since you're not walking through it. You may be able to get a built in desk on the landing. 🤔

I would update the kitchen and make a bar to eat at add a washer/dryer combo unit under the ladder and update the bathroom

When you see baseboard heating, that usually means that you are paying for electricity to heat your unit. Very very costly. Ask to see winter Con Ed bills to see how much the previous tenants paid. CJ shows a good number of units with this "feature." Be careful. i love his videos.

Cash, can you do a Q&A? That could be fun and pretty interesting to know some of the stuff you've seen that you don't show in your videos! Maybe a little creepy, gross, strange, silly...etc. Maybe take questions from your subscribers on IG stories? :) Love you Cash!

A nice place with an extra interesting layout...but not quite for me. The deal-breaker is the two-story-high living area. I simply won't pay to heat and cool all that empty cubic space with which you can do nothing.

I only wish I could live there in midtown. I live on Harlem West and its nice but I hate waiting for packed express just to get to 36th. If I lived there I could walk to work. Sucks being broke

It would be nice if they could turn that staircase into some kind of a pull--out / extendable type, so it is not as steep. When not in use, you pushed in it.

I would love living there.

I have a huge kitchen and nice be room on ground floor it's fine!

I lived at 70 and 2nd in 1971, 72 and then moved to 38 down by the midtown bus terminal. Left NYC in 74 to go back to Cali

If i have enough savings, I would definitely buy this apt and rent it to someone. After $1200 fees and mortgage payment you could probably net $1k/month. The location is great cause it's walking distance to all the Hospitals on 1st Avenue. Probably medical professionals could live here

You being showing some great apartments townhouse brownstone when I get my million I will be moving to New York City

It's crazy how people still get triggers at NYC prices. The context of the building matters. Of course you can live anywhere else, but space in that city is absurdly limited and therefore it applies the extremely basic concept of supply and demand for space. Nobody should be comparing a NYC building to a texas home, its not even remotely comparable

With me getting off in the middle of the night that is a disaster waiting to happen. Sorry but it's definitely not my cup of tea at all. Yeah she could use the cubby hold to store your suitcases and boxes so that is good storage. I could see why someone moved out it could be various reasons but there's nothing there to impress me enough to stay there.

Not only is it not the cheapest loft in nyc, its in a very busy neighborhood and it looks like it has not been renovated in a long time. Having new appliances will not cut. And the asking price for that is too ridiculous. You can get a house in NYC for less than that. With common charges and taxes might as well rent the place since its just about half of the rent price

Just over $500K for that unique space isn’t terrible Charles has a few unique spaces like that also . I would love to live here . Love your mini tours always . On a serious note there have been so many E-bike thefts here in the city . That plus the high speed and the fact that we don’t need to have a driver license to hit 35 mph has put a lot of attention on ebikes . Be safe and always wear a damn helmet .

I have no need for a NYC apartment- I’m just here for Cash’s sarcasm.

Normally i aint one for a studio but somethin like that where u could make ur room on a different floor like that i could go for.

So cute ! Seems to offer everything needed for one person or a couple

Anybody know what happened to his orange bike?

I could make that work even though I'm 6ft. There's a lot of space to store things and the kitchen is perfect. Love the neighbourhood of course. Thanks Cash.

This place is awesome. I could totally live there.

Aaww! Another cute place! Thank you 😊

I actually like this place.
