Living in NYC’s SMALLEST Apartment (60 Square Feet)

Sell everything you own, because this is the smallest apartment in New York City hands down. But if you are willing to sleep standing up and cant cook, you’ll love it here! Jokes aside, loft your bed and its a win.

    "Quality of life" apparently can dip quite low in NYC because the city is so desirable. I'm not being sarcastic either. Or too sarcastic. Quite seriously, NYC is pretty much a case of: It is what it is. It has the charm of London/Paris, etc, & the economic muscle of Tokyo, etc. Good weather too.

    No, you didn't make the right decision when you left NYC -- even with the damage to the economy and culture from Covid, NYC is still an exciting city. I live in a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens for $1200 a month and have much more space than this tiny Manhattan apartment. You just need to do your apartment-hunting in the outer boroughs instead of Manhattan. I go to that Flame Diner several times a month -- it's just a train ride away from Queens. You can live here for a reasonable rent -- you just need to work hard to find it.

    Please have a well-balanced view of New York City apartments -- the apartment in this video is very small because it is in one of Manhattan's prime neighborhoods, where there is much demand for apartments. I live further out, in the NYC borough of Queens. I have much more space and pay less rent -- you just have to be reasonable about going to an affordable neighborhood. Cash wants "juicy" apartments to stir up comments on his website. You can find reasonable rents with private bathrooms and fully equipped kitchens in the outer boroughs and you are just a train ride away from Manhattan.

The tenants will soon be receiving new appliances, fixtures, painting, bathroom and kitchen furnishings, and floorings. The rent my relative pays is $1600 monthly! MTA Bus transportation is nearby; a major mall, and thoroughfare is nearby as well; plus a walking/biking trail near the major highway nearby‼. [But this is not in Downtown Brooklyn!]

    @AnimeBoysOnly : whoever CALLED it an "apartment" made a big error as well.However, the Greedy Bastard Landlord (GBL) is raking in over $12K yrly if & when, it's rented consistently. Its not even legal bc it's NOT a real apt, it's really just a place to sleep YET it still can't be categorized as a bedroom either bc to be called a bedrm it MUST have a closet. IMO, it may have formerly been a janitorial/superintendent's supply& tools room, reconfigured into a (haha) living space. The shared bathroom is a completely, totally, indisputable turn--off. No matter how clean a bldg's shared bathrm LOOKS,, its not an ndication that its being sanitized properly by bldg mangemt with bleach, anti--bacterial etc agents. I don't know what word to really use to describe the GBL : unethical, immoral, inhumane?? Nah. Think I'll just stick with GREEDY.

Yes I have roommates but generally have gotten along well with all of them. I have a very nice bathroom right outside my bedroom door that I only share with 1 person and we have a decent size living room (that none of us use) and an actual decent sized kitchen, not those tiny little glorified kids play kitchens.

    Good Morning, New York City dwellers and lovers. Even though "Daddy don't live in that New York City no more" I still love it and that is why I'm addicted to these Cash videos. Do you feel me? But I would expire from claustrophobia in that first "apartment". That is INSANE!

    Are you referring to yourself as Daddy?

    @@we-all-struggle1043 Yes I was also quoting Steely Dan, one of my favorite musical groups. I am happy to have left the big apple 🍎 quite some time ago. Where I live now, I display a large painting of the New York skyline at night. I don't have to go to New York anymore, they are all coming down here to me in the 6th borough. Sooner or later you will too! And your struggle will be over!

    I continue to wonder why I watch these from new Mexico with no intention of living in NY. The guy who does these is unflappable and I like that. I also appreciate that my entire mortgage is about the price of the closet apartment.

    You are so happy your mortgage is less than the NYC apartment in this video -- but, sadly, your place is in New Mexico instead of glamorous exciting New York City! I feel sorry for you being stuck out there.

    @@cathynewyork7918 calm down grandma, maybe you could try not to be such a condescending old bint to other people who don’t envy you and are happy with their lives. So you’re hot for New York, good for you, but you’ve been all over this comment section being obnoxious to other people. Dial it back. New York is a great place but not everyone wants that city and that doesn’t mean their lives are less interesting. There are cities all over the word with exciting shit to do and more affordable. We get the message. You like your life, fantastic but stop being a cow and telling other folk you pity them.
