hello friends ~ I got so many questions on how to actually search for an apartment in nyc & if I had any tips and tricks so I made a separate video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X2atwc6dftrAgLg.html thank you all for the love and support 🫶

I’m impressed that you negotiated the rent in one apartment and still didn’t feel obligated to take it when it didn’t meet your requirements. Good on you!

I don’t think it’s a shit move. She negotiated, it still wasn’t where she wanted it to be, so she backed out. It’s called knowing your worth. She knew something was better out there for her, and for probably way less money, and she was right.... right? She absolutely did the right thing. Plus, I don’t think the people who’re renting it out care. Apartments go real quick. Real real which. Someone probably rented that very apartment she backed out that same exact day. Kudos to her!

@@sketchyhoe7796 It's considered tacky if you negotiate to a fair price point that you're happy with and then back out. For example, I'm selling a tv for $200. You want it for $150. If I agree to $150 and then you back out, that is in bad taste. If you don't really want it, don't waste anyone's time. This is basically universal law adults follow.

speaking facts

Apartment hunting in NY was one of the most stressful times in my life. My husband and I just moved from Miami, and although we wanted to initially be living in NY as we are both chefs and will be working in the city anyway, thus making it more convenient, it just wasn’t going to work out. We have a car and we’re also used to having laundry in-unit, and with the amount of laundry we do (uniforms), it’s a must. The prices (we also were in the $2-2.5k range but lower is always better!) were semi-doable but obviously not with all what we need. The last thing I want to do after a 10-12hr shift is walk-up five flights of stairs. And open the door to a shoebox. And then walk back down to do 2 loads of laundry. And move our car because it’s street sweeping day. Then again tomorrow. We ended up moving to West New York, NJ as our non-negotiables were all met (laundry in-unit, dedicated parking, rent below $2k) and it’s only 20 minutes by bus.

Finding a place in any large American city is horrible now days.Seattle and San Francisco are torture tests. You think you have appointments with psychotic managers and no one shows up. That is standard. You pay $3 a square foot, first and last rents, and a damage deposit that you will never get back. Once you are in you can expect 7% rent increases every year which is the most that can be without 6 month notice. You won’t get 6 month notice because then you can prepare to move out. No one cares about any of your concerns because there is always right behind you trying to get a place. The tech industries have destroyed these once beautiful places. Paul Allen was a monster.

Manhattan living is hard. However, the opportunity, the experience and the exposure it provides are also unique. If you can afford it, stay as long as you can. You can always venture other boroughs when timing is different. There is no rush. Good luck, girl.

I apartment hunted in the summer (July/August) and honestly barely got anything. Your apartment tours were showing really nice apartments for a pretty reasonable price. For me, the hunt wore me down. After a month of not finding anything, I finally found the apartment I’m in in Midtown East that fit my requirements. I’m hoping to move to the Upper West Side though because it’s stunning. That or the Village.

That Times Square apartment though!

Hands down, the best NYC apartment hunting video I've seen. Great work.

this video is amazing but what is even more amazing is your skin. like holy crap queen you are glowing

Spot on in terms of the documentation, time involved and just energy and work needed to secure an apartment! This video was beautifully done and incredibly realistic. I lived in NYC twice (company relocations) and just didn’t want the long process, broker drama, etc. the second time around and so went with a national company that owns and manages apartment buildings. Place was awesome! W. 77th between CPW and Columbus. Just shy of 600 sq ft., doorman, basement laundry, etc. easy walk to midtown for work. At the time it was about $3200 and, for me, worth not having the search stress I experienced the first time around, but I also recognize how fortunate I was and that the search experience, of course, varies based on budget.

I really love the concept of this video! I live in NYC too and have been apartment hunting but in the Bronx and uptown (Harlem and Washington Heights) mostly and am shocked by prices

i randomly clicked onto your video and now i can't stop admiring your skinnnnn...its so beauuuutiful

Pretty similar circumstances to what is happening here in southern california. I was one of the lucky one’s whose lease was up when the rates dropped during covid and was able to move into a 2 bed 2 bath unit in my same complex for only $100 more a month than my 1 bedroom was going to be. I am currently paying $2319 before utilities and when I looked at prices a couple weeks ago, they want over $3700 for my same floor plan!

Shower in #8 was an add on that’s why it was high off the ground , to run the pipes. I also liked the first listing. I’m from Derby CT, where New Yorkers commuting an hour come to live in the suburbs, affordability. And if laundry is game changer amazon sells really tiny tiny washers for those times you need something tomorrow but don’t feel like going out to do laundry. Glad you found your new apt

@@desi2119 what do you mean by "these asian people” are you generalizing asian people do that? I mean some Asian families prefer to stay in their country…not all wanted to go live outside their homeland…. And it could be true that she’s just independent and trying to live her life with her own money, everyone can be independent including men. I’m just saying

very helpful for a friend of mine, shes been wanting to move to ny for so long. so informative tyy

Love seeing all the apartments! Thanks for sharing

I love how informational this video was! Recently found your channel and I’ve been watching it all morning! 😂 what kind of camera do you use? It looks so bright snd clean!

Subscribed just bc of how in depth the video was lol! I don’t live in NYC nor am I apartment hunting 😂

What a great experience to know! You really doing the good job, its really called 'journey' for real. How u found a lot of struggle , plus-minus of the apartemen, dealing with the broker, the epic moment is when u have to decide 'do views is so important to you or the amount of lights?' thank u for sharing, Julia!

Really nice to know all the details, for example what you were looking for!

Wow this is great. You’re so calm and constant-paced with your explanations! Subscribed :)

Good for you. I think you got the best apartment. The positive of the brick wall is privacy. The shelving unit idea to create a bedroom area was I very good idea. I look forward to seeing the decorated apartment.

great & thorough video!! I read the article wow, I learn something new every day!
