They should pin this comment.

Same as the London and New York apartments. Basically you can't trust this series.

I agree. If they can afford the rent. Means their salaries are good. Many people have 10,000 rupees or 20,000 rupees salary. These people are literally paying more than that for rent. That is amazing

@Fuzzybucket You don't need to live in slums to pay less. That said this location is probably dead center in terms of location based house pricing (Not sure about rent). but when they show 3 houses they shpuld show 3 distant locations as opposed to all within a 10KM radius. I guess the point of the series though is to show what its like living close to offices (or have good public transport) in different size houses

@Fuzzybucket Dude that was ignorant....just because you live outside the cities does not mean you lives in the slums...Its like saying if you live anywhere in the US thats not New York or LA then you must live in a dump..

“When we’re a little less broke we’re going to get floor cushions and things” 🤣🤣🤣

It's so relatable, I tell you. My family lives in Mumbai but I decided to move to another city and get a job and living the broke bachelor life in India is no joke. Haha. As is elsewhere, I'm sure! 😁

They probably never heard of a DIY artwork. Not saying it's a bad thing to live with no wall decor at all though.. what's more surprising to me is they chose to share bedroom instead of using the couch..

@@leoprg5330 ikr, I thought the same thing

😂😂😂

Haha exactly

Lmaooo yessss I was like omg I could probably live it off well in North India with that money😭😭😭😭😭

@Kat Brown Yeah its all relative to the economy of a country. LA is one of the biggest metropolitan in the world. Also, 1 US dollars is about 70 Rupees in India so it sounds really cheap to you. But India won't pay you that much so the ratios will come down to Indian standards. Still better than LA tho, considering everything going on in US lol so you should definitely move-in here😂

@Maip video Yeah that's actually one of the most disturbing things here. Especially in rural areas. we're trying to bring everything forward into light but our gov is fucked up so it sucks.

@Maip video no I didn't assume you were American 😅 sorry if my msg gave that impression :p

It literally blew my mind. I was like oh my God that is freaking genius!!

i have seen this style in many houses here in india.....its saves a lot of space and also time to put dishes back in the racks......i hate my landlord for not giving me any dish rack like this but lots of drawers in kitchen which are mostly useless.

Even in Scandinavia, they have those style of dish drying rack over sink.

Cool thing to find when deciding how to renovate your kitchen

i live in Spain and i also have that in the kitchen

tati South Africa is not unique in the slightest we’ve legit just got 70s apartment buildings

and Kenya

I came to the comments specifically to like a comment that suggested they go to Africa next. Thanks lol

Nothing to see there.

@@cindypattana6071 Plenty to see there. You'd know if you ever went. Such an ignorant comment.

I didn´t know that, but interesting fact. Us N. Americans are too selfish for that concept. We would put a mattress on the balcony or sleep on the couch. Embarrassing, but true.

@@moniqueuu8777 when you live in tiny spaces you learn to share😂

@@moniqueuu8777 yeah it is pretty common here, I live in my university hostel, it's like a dorm, two people share a room, we have separate beds but you'd often see roommates joining their beds and sleeping because they've become as close as sisters.

@@moniqueuu8777 i always find that so strange. From what i see in movies and on the internet N,Americans let even relatives sleep on the couch. In India we always share our beds with a same sex relative. Or they sleep on a mattress in the room.

That is unheard-of if the two people are not related or a couple in North America, Wow!

Dombivli :).

@@rajeevpoojary1729 🙅🏻‍♂️

In that way one hour episode can be made. 😉

Muland

Well its made by Buzzfeed employees, I guess nobody working in that company lives in the central suburbs. Even Andheri is still not proper Mumbai hahaha.

Agreed!

Frfr lol like oh another expensive American/European apt I can't afford 😂

Hear hear

In the US itiscustom to be on your own at 18. It is a stigma if you are in your 20´s, 30´s and still in yourparents house. This custom explains why we struggle and have a hard time saving. I live in Brazil now and many kids are at their parents home until ,arriage and sometimes after that, their family moves in or they build onto their parents´ home. I love this concept of togetherness. It´s awesome.Some families have broken this custom in the US, but for many, it is the norm: 18 and out!

Monique UU it’s actually a custom to live with parents even at the age of 18 in India, it’s Avery family oriented country, nowadays it’s decreasing but a lot of people still stay with their parents

Well said mam/sir

If you tell an indian parent you'd like to contribute to the rent, they'll start a soap drama. Its a rookie mistake. But they make you do everything they cant do for themselves, from operating phones and computers to repairing the appliances.

I felt the "I'm crying less" 😂😭

@@rosebud0391 same😂😂😭

You are so lucky to live in the US

Time to shift! 😂😂😂

In my town mecheri 2000rs rent !!!

Umm where in mysore 🧐

That's because you guys are probably student. And it's called pg/hostel. This is 3 yo. I'm assuming youoved out probably.

I actually wanted to see someone stay in santacruz, parla, borivali, kandiwali,etc. Different places

@@pinkheart315 Same. I used to live in Parla and a lot of the houses and apartments are really nice and spacious. There's lot's of gardens and parks there too! 😁

@@pinkheart315 I live in Vile Parle!

there’s no one from Central side yoo

mine's half of it . lmao

Now we know why Mumbai got so many drug peddlers

@@ravaladitya6782 basically 😆

lol your family is poor af

@@ravaladitya6782 well yeah 😂

and a bed too!!

I don’t like sharing bed. I would consider a roommate only if we can have two separate bedrooms.

Yeah, sharing the bed freaked me out too

Actually this is common in London as well when you’re broke and have moved from overseas. I shared a room and a bed with someone to save money. London is expensive!

it's like having a long term sleepover

They should have gone to dharavi

Arcis arc there’s a difference between slums and apartments🙄

A lot of people call Dharavi a slum in a derogatory manner. I agree it's a slum and not exactly the kind of place anyone would want to live in but it's different from the East Asian slums or the Western slums. Dharavi is a full on economic powerhouse and people don't give it enough credit for that. They look at it and be like "oh slums" when it's much more than that. Dharavi is not your typical slum with poor people and cheap drugs. There are a lot of businesses in Dharavi that would give a tough competition to brands like purplle and zivame had they the proper advertising and investment. Many don't move their business out on purpose because they'll have to then register it and pay the high Bombay rent and income tax. All I'm trying to say is that I know it's Asia's largest slum but it's also Asia's largest local economic community.

Exactly. Versova comes under Andheri too

accurate

Ikr. Its quite nice and have very good air circulation. They literally got a very good deal with that one

Ye it is. It's already furnished too

@@pmanlicious7117 They got an excellent deal considering that it's Andheri West! Those apartments are very very pricey.

@@Nix_101 it looks very spacious and comfy. I would love to live there

Yes I liked it the best for functionality and character .

Same here in germany, at the end the plastic bag full of plastic bags unites the world in peace finally 🌍❤️

My family used to do the same but now in New Zealand you have to pay for shopping bags so we have a pile of reusable bags.

Same in Uruguay

why do you still use plastic bags???. that is the question, chance something

I volunteer for an episode in Lima Peru!

In the Caribbean it look similar to America ..

@@kadianjohnson9519 not necessarily

I'd like to see Brazil as well, but not Rio or Sao Paulo, those two have been done to death...come to think of it maybe they should hit up parts of the US that aren't NYC or LA

These apartments are quite cheap compared to Port Harcourt, Nigeria

She isn't paying it alone. She says she's living with her parents + has been there since 2003. It's more likely that her parents own the house & she gave a general estimate of what a house like hers would be rented out for in that neighbourhood. I agree that it's not representative of the rent situation for young working professionals in Mumbai, though.

she doesn't live alone. She's sharing with others.

The sea view is wonderful tho

Its her parents who own the place.. she ain’t paying no rent

@@dreamzamazon4761 she literally said 90k rent.

Same I pay 11.5 for my own place in Bangalore. Can't imagine paying even 17k with a roommate. Seems crazy expensive!

@@Nix_101 imagine paying 90k lol

pratz love the last one did.

And I pay ₹2500 in Kolkata. But my apartment is 25 years old. ☺

Paying 9000 for a 3 bedroom all attached flat, with balcony and terrace. in Trivandrum

South Bombay 😁😂😂

Malabar Hills 😁😁

Ikr🤣

@Brown knight yeah that why I said that🙄 lol.it's a boujee place.

@@anolalobo5574 depends on what part of Paris lol. Greater Paris is trash for the most part with gangs and a lot of drug trafficking

Same 😣

@@pinkheart315 yeah true I am unemployed

@@user-qy8zi8hq4v 😂🙌🏼

In 90k, I could rent an entire floor in South Delhi 😅. But that is literally double my salary 😞😞😞

For 90k you can get a huge apartment like 3 or 4 or 5 bhk depending on the area. Plus other amenities.

@@sidakgill8195 Where do you get that in which place?

Think if she saved up instead of paying every month 90k. She would own an apartment than rent it

@@pinkheart315 gurgaon

Seriously even 1bhks here cost 40 to 60k depending on the building and locality. And in some towns 1bhk can be as cheap as 5k or less

It's not being comfortable, it's called being poor. I share my bed with my siblings. :(

Vipula Sharma Hey, I wasn’t sure if they were poor or doing it by choice to save some money. My mom grew up in Trinidad and shared her bed with her two sisters. She also has 5 brothers who shared 2 beds :( so I can imagine how you feel. I hope your life changes for the better soon 🙏🏽 actually I know it will change one day be patient and try to stay educated as much as possible❤️

@@amya7066 It's usually situational to be honest. You don't always have to be broke. A lot of us who move out into our own homes do it to get away from family and make our own lives. Most of my bachelor friends had to live like this initially and we're all very educated and from middle class families. I myself had to share a bed with my ex roommate (also ex best friend) for around 6 months due to expensive rent. However, I have my own place now but it takes a while for a lot of people to settle down independently in Indian cities. One of the biggest reasons so many youngsters choose to stay with family is to save out on paying rent.

When I visit relatives in West Africa we sleep 4 people in the same bed. My little niece snores so we keep bursting into laughter in the middle of the night because of it.

I just finished commenting that we would sleep on the couch or rotate the bed: sharing, 1 bedroom, 1 bed in the US.................

@Harshit Kapoor India

Most people in Mumbai would think that Versova apartment is luxurious.

In terms of housing, Mumbai is the most expensive city in India. Certain areas of Mumbai get even more expensive, like Bandra, Juhu, Worli, with South Mumbai in general being more costly

@@beezlebub9 it was a really nice apartment,nice decor, ungrilled windows AND THE VIEWS

Arcis arc yup, a dream home for most bombayites. I like how the kitchen was so ultra-organised too.

@@TabooTalzthats why almost 50% percent of the population live in slums 🏚

Congrats man!

For how much bro?

She meant sleep. 😂😂

It’s a series . So this video is about Mumbai and there are other videos like new york,london etc

Read the title again this is the Mumbai edition there are others 🙄

@@Srishti_Kaur but mumbai is not about Andheri..it's like 1%

How could you compare mumbai and jarkata two different countries two different economies two different currencies

😂🤭😂

The prices seem affordable to you because the dollar is priced higher rn.

Hey blink! I find my kpop people everywhere nowadays.

It is in fact luxurious, her rent is more than my what my father makes in a month....

Mumbai is overrated and overcrowded

@@tanio7639 indeed

I moved from Bangalore to Mumbai. I forget to breath sometimes 😂

@@tanio7639 That's true! Mumbai is overcrowded! But many people love that including me!

Mumbai is not cramped, these people are living cramped up! Just take a tour to bandra pali hill/ worli/ parel/south Mumbai , you will find sky villas / terrace apartments/ duplex bungalows/ plush high rise apartments.....list goes on. Bottomline is what can you afford??!!

@@jesin0005 no one's saying India ain't pretty mate.

That's $308 for 269 square feet. That is tiny. I'd go crazy in quarantine.

@@recoil53 really? That's pretty large considering the price??

@@graskok2863 Small in total space. Per square foot it's roughly what you get for a medium sized city in the US.

recoil53 yeah, it’s so tiny for the price. I mean, everything in the Philippines is so expensive.

🤷‍♀️mumbia is overrated like New York

Kavya Prakash yeah indeed

Living in Mumbai is very expensive due to space crunch and property rates. As you move out to the suburbs or even further the prices drastically reduce.

last house pay 90,000 a month which is like $1200 (US) or about 6 month of my salary.

New York has the same issues as well. Ig all the Cosmopolitan cities have the same issues.

agree

Harshit Kapoor India

😂😂😂😂 it's just around the house if you travel outside the buildings there's only big skyscrapers and infrastructures. Most building here have their own small gardens and plants around the buildings that's why it looked that way.

Are you serious ? Where in Hyderabad ? Sounds like I need to shift there 😁😁

35k for 1bhk is kindof minimum. It goes till 1 lac in good areas. No, I am not talking about luxury accommodation, just regular apartments.

I’m from Jabalpur and here the rent for 3bhk flats is as low as 5k.

@@liveenjoy6821 in Hyderabad, if you stay in Hitech City, Gachibowli where most of the IT Companies are nearby 1BHK is 10k, 2BHK is 18K and 3BHK. is 25K. Still lot better than Mumbai to be honest.

@@abhishek8243 You are correct. I'm from Shillong and was in Mumbai till 2017 and it was awesome just too expensive. Did visit Hyderabad in 2018 and I don't think I'll survive there coz of the dry heat and I think public transport is not great too with auto drivers not using meter or is it because I'm a tourist no idea. However, regarding with expenses its really cheap with rents especially when I checked on rent/pg online considering its a metro city.
