Perhaps it’s more of an interest/personality thing but I’ve never really cared too much for gym memberships just to exercise. Going for runs throughout the city for free instead and buying a cheap yoga mat for calisthenics exercises, is a much more cost effective alternative. You do lose the ready access to weights/machines however if your goal is simply exercise, it makes sense to opt for it (especially when you live in an environment with high expenses such as large cities). And if there’s a social desire, you can find local fitness clubs; there are probably free ones in the places like NYC.

Love the second apartment--perfect example of how natural light (in this case southern exposure) can transform a space into something light and bright and not claustrophobic. The tenant is also well organized, which helps, but he's not minimalist either--he has plenty of stuff, but everything has its place. And room for his adorable cat as well! Plus, the second apartment definitely has more headroom than 1-1/2 feet in the loft bedroom, which helps. If NYC is where you want to be, and especially if you are young and not burdened with too many possessions, I could see the second apartment working nicely for people for a few years. The rent is manageable, and that counts for a lot. Thanks for sharing these with us!

Yes, but in London you could never get that much space living alone for that price. And London is more comparable to New York City. I used to live in studio flats in London. The first was £695 (inc. bills) iirc - it was really tiny but thankfully didn't have any hazards like this apartment does, like at least I knew it was safe. And it was an attic room so had decent light from slanting attic windows. The second was £800 without bills, probably cost about £1,000 inc. bills. It was slightly bigger but still effectively just a bed and room for a desk. Neither of them were particularly central though so I'm assuming somewhere in central London would have been a lot more expensive. Lived in the second one over COVID and I hated it so much that I sacrificed having my own space and ended up moving in with flatmates. £875 bills included (rent increased to £1,000 a month and I moved out shortly after).

when I moved to NYC I lived in a Bushwick loft. It was pretty much the same, but it was just a room in a loft with 7 rooms. Those were the days
2nd room was definitely worth it he is very organized and utilized all the space

@@Jacob-ii4nr yea i think legally to adhere to fire code regulations there has to be a window to use as a 2nd exit in case of fire, basically if there was a fire in the hallway these apartments are a death trap, you would basically have to sit in your apartment and suffocate or be burned to death.
The red brick is beautiful:)
I believe my nephew is in a place on E72st with 2 roommates at over 7K a month. He was on E34th with one roommate at 4200 a month. That place was a real dump. The photos of the new place look nice and the view out the windows is great. The old place had a window facing a brick wall. The skylight was something from a travel trailer, about 4 inches square.
On one hand, it's kinda cool. On the other, I would go mad if I couldn't pace around.

The young man's apartment was actually very cute - neat , clean, organized, and uncluttered. Because he had so much less stuff, he had much more space. Although I wish he had a private bathroom, I suppose sharing with only one other person is tolerable. For $687 per month, it's definitely worth it.
The house plan reminds me of Alex's apartment from a 1999 show called 'downtown mtv'

They were interesting and new about 5 years ago, but now all these tiny apartment videos look the same after awhile. I prefer (in this channel's case) the million dollar homes. It's a bit more "realistic" living in terms of what we would rather have and dream of. And as a former NY'ker, I could never live in these small apartments. Most of these people I've noticed come from out of town and find these tiny apartments.I believe the girl is from California. I give them props though. 👍

I am grateful hands down for each day and each person is given options to shoot for the stars and it'll come with sacrifices that each will make to obtain their goals. You however must decide which best suits you and those you take along for the ride. Reflection however will prove whether the journey was worth it based on the decisions you made to the spectrum you achieved.
that second one is the same exact price I pay for my current college apartment. Sure, hit is a bit small, but has all the essentials. I would absolutely live in that, being in Manhattan!
I fully appreciate that I’m not a native of NYC, and therefore don’t have experience or knowledge of renting prices there. But this is insane to me! $650 per month for that shoebox is ridiculous. There is no way the landlord should be charging her that much. I mean - if she’s genuinely happy with that space, thats great but also the fact that her roof was leaking with that type of damage is unacceptable.
I live in a studio and am fine with a small space, but that bed loft made me feel SO CLAUSTROPHOBIC just to look at it.

Okay, I was with her the whole video. And then she says she spends $340 a month on her gym membership? The girl's logic is just so flawed after that. Trying to save money and put yourself through this, when you can EASILY get a membership for $50-$100 instead, and rent a nicer place where your mind is at peace for the $900 then instead.

Not only could I never live in the equivalent of a walk in closet, but in New York period. Man oh man. In my neck of the woods, 750 a month gets you a decent apartment. 2 bed, 2 full bath, walk in closets. About 1,000 square ft. Oh, and a pool, tennis court and fishing pond with gazebo over the water. In a really nice town. You can have New York City.
I love these types of videos of micro homes. The homes are efficient and these people make it work at an affordable price. It's so nice and cozy, and forces you to not buy so much stuff. Only the essentials and they make use of all the space and things they can. As minimalist ocd type of guy I sometimes think about moving to NYC and live in one of these apartments if I could find some at an affordable price of 600-700 like these. I currently live in 2,000 square foot house too.

I hope she got that sagging ceiling water leak fixed already. Something like that happened in a place I lived in Midtown Atlanta. The ceiling bubble was in the living room in a townhome duplex I shared with 3 other roommates. One evening it burst while one of my roommates was home sitting in the living room. It was caused by a plumbing issue in one of the top floor bathrooms. Shes lucky it didnt burst while she was sleeping in the bed. And yes our landlord got both issues fixed for us.
I’m grateful for where i’m able to pay a grand a month without issue for an apartment in Jersey, but i’ve always wanted to live in NY and granted the space is much smaller but it feels more cozy.
