ahhhh!!! what apartment do you think i chose?!?

@kinggeorgelll8882 Ай бұрын

ahhhh!!! The third one

I hope you got the last apartment because of the in unit laundry. However, I don't think you did because units like that will go fast. I'm still excited to see what you chose. 😊

I am such a low energy person that I am SO impressed and in awe that you toured soooooo many in one day. Holy cow. I’m pooped just thinking about it. Major props to you. I know you said it’s because you didn’t want to take off work but still - that’s insanely productive. I hope you continue to live a happy and healthy life in your new place, so exciting! The hardest part is done, the fun of moving in and decorating is about to begin 🖼️ 🛋️🪞

Congrats on your new place! FiDi is a nice area to land for new transplants. It’s not known for its vibe, but worth it for many for the convenience. As you know, access to transit is superb and it’s fairly quiet after hours. Cons are the area is windy and with all the buildings so close together getting decent sunlight is a problem. Can’t wait to see which one you picked. 😊

@retrieverlover8228 Ай бұрын

Damn ... I'm exhausted just watching you hustle around not to mention increasingly stressed as your phone was dying and trying to locate a place to charge it. 1) Buy a powerbank; 2) Buy your own stash of gluten free straws and utensils to keep in your bag at all times--this is frequently an issue for you esp cuz you're always eating/drinking out!; and 3) My guess is also the last place with the W/D! Second guess is the one you got really excited about towards the end. 😊

Hi Lucia! I just moved to Battery Park in January and I’m renting a one bedroom for 3600 per month! Just for context it also has a concierge, rooftop, gym, 800 sq ft and nice! Also dishwasher and laundry on every floor** These studios you’re touring definitely seem a little pricey given my recent experience so it could be good to email apartment mgmt directly by finding their websites. Good luck with moving!

Lol I was soooo tired

@AllisonIntheCity Ай бұрын

glad you decided to branch out of greenwich village. honestly, i'd never want to live there. it's way too crazy on the weekends. i lived in FiDi from 2005-2008 and it's totally safe, and there's way more down there now than when i lived there. there's also an alamo drafthouse near the Federal Bank. But also... do you not wash your face after you take your makeup off?? If you don't, you 100% should. the makeup remover takes off makeup, but not dirt. lastly, you do NOT want to have to deal with a board packet to sublet from an owner in a co-op. it's so much work. (did that from 2008-2014.) can't wait to see the apartment!

I’m confused why you didn’t like West village (too expensive?) Fidi as you call it is struggling massively. After 9/11 it took a major hit and than after pandemic commercial real estate there took another major hit, which puts even more stress on residential there. If you can, visit Dead Rabbit for dinner- place is amazing- if it’s still there. I went last in fall of 2019. Anyone else been recently???

I hate brokers fees, the worst part is that they only really do it in Manhattan because they want to scam people.

Girl I’ve been living in NYC for 6 years. Idk why girls always look for luxury buildings floor to ceiling windows. There are much cheaper options in the UES and UWS with exposed brick, windows and charm 1 bedrooms. Close to Central Park. I live in 78th and Madison Ave. Don’t get blindsided. I’m on IG on a group called UES girls. You’ll see how much you’re missing.
