NEW YORK CITY APARTMENT HUNTING (Rent prices - 2021)

[Music] hey what's up you guys and welcome back to another video today i'm joined with lara and we're actually going to be doing an apartment hunting video because lara is coming back from turkey and she's looking for a new apartment here in new york city so what's the budget so the budget is 545k uh monthly and for two bedroom two bathroom apartment okay i'm looking for in williamsburg area only uh so it's small i don't have much options but we'll see how it's going to go so you only want the williamsburg area yeah i don't want to go farther down so i made a list of everything that i need uh i need natural light 100 floor-to-ceiling windows um that's what i had in my last building so i really want that and i need a washer and dryer because i had it in units i know i had it for five years when i'm living in manhattan and once you have it you can't go back so you're bougie i need a washroom dryer and a doorman just easy yeah so so why did you choose williamsburg uh i feel like definitely it's a more of a friendly neighborhoody vibe that williamsburg gives me and i have a lot of friends here a lot of turkish friends that i want to be close at and yeah it just feels very welcoming and lower buildings and it feels really nice and and cute to walk around in so it's like so for those of you not in new york there's the main island of manhattan and then williamsburg is just off the side across the bridge and it has a great views of manhattan so ideally you want a view of manhattan right exactly that's uh the initial thought i had was beautiful manhattan skyline so we're gonna go check out a bunch of these apartments and take you along uh show you what the prices are of all these the pros and cons and uh hopefully we'll end up deciding on one for you hopefully we'll find it let's do it currently in new york city many buildings are giving away two to four months free when signing a new 12-month lease so there's the gross total price of an apartment which is what it actually costs in a normal year and then there's the net total price which is those extra months added on then divided by the total months some buildings require you to pay the total gross price and then give you the free months at the end of your 12 months some allow you to pay the lower net total across them all to keep things simple i'll be giving you the net total price [Music] we started our search inland at a newer building that had a decent view of williamsburg new appliances and flooring but not the floor-to-ceiling windows that lara was originally looking for we wanted to see all the options out there but ultimately i don't think this was the neighborhood that she wanted to be in since it was a little far from her friends the rooftop was pretty awesome and gave better views but we decided to head towards the water to look at some more all right so today we are in another building another two bedroom this one has a very nice modern looking bathroom then you come through here this is bedroom number one [Music] but look at this it is a really nice corner apartment you have these floor-to-ceiling windows looking over manhattan it's beautiful now this is the kitchen beautiful modern kitchen whirlpool appliances and this is the master bedroom which has a nice view of the bridge pretty decent sized closet and i like this bathroom i think it's very nice and just modern and simple and this is probably your master bedroom so that is this apartment which i think is actually really great especially for the price all right welcome to unit 29k i think this is gonna be the one for you come on in as soon as you walk in you got plenty of closet space and in unit washer dryer which in new york city is very hard to get coming here you have even more storage space for all your bags your you know jackets all that good stuff we have the living room slash secondary bathroom right here beautiful tile amenities great stuff here we go we got the guest bathroom our guest bedroom or a secondary bedroom doesn't have the bathroom but has great views of manhattan so you can't beat that all modern whirlpool appliances and probably my favorite part is coming here this is your little dining room nook which has a great view of the living room floor to ceiling glass windows seeing all of manhattan you got you've got uptown you've got midtown and you've got downtown manhattan all right here at sunset when it sets right over there over lower manhattan you're going gonna have a beautiful sun coming through here beautiful massive bedroom with the ensuite bathroom right here plenty of storage space even got a safe in there and you wake up to this beautiful view over the river [Music] all right so we've come into another one look at that view that's nice i like i like the view of the bridge you've got like a nice corner huh [Music] two bridge wow two bridges no this is pretty nice yeah it's i mean it kind of adds i mean i kind of like it actually it kind of like adds to the character i mean it's not bad because you still have this whole glass window that's not bad and the appliances are really nice look at this fridge so this must be bedroom number two which actually has a really cool view of the bridge wow it's a bright mirror it's a really nice bathroom it's a lot better than the first ones we saw [Music] i'm already matching it [Music] as soon as you walk in you have a large walk-in closet and then you come around here that is the beautiful kitchen but here you have one bedroom which is really nice and he said this whole thing is going to be painted as well this whole room is gonna be touched up and finished this is the best view ever this is a corner apartment and you have this beautiful view this is facing in towards brooklyn out here is towards manhattan which we'll see in a second once we go on to this look at this kitchen this is amazing and that's just manhattan right out there so this is a two bedroom this is the second bedroom over here wow so this must be the master bedroom because this one right here has the ensuite bathroom which is really nice yeah beautiful and this is your view over brooklyn but even better is the view over manhattan right here you get to see the sunset you're right on the water it's beautiful wow this is directly facing manhattan as wow this is a bigger balcony too oh my god this is still see brooklyn this is actually a better view of manhattan i didn't think you could beat the last one but what no no no no no [Laughter] that could have been bad we would have had we would have had to jump [Music] okay so wow okay though this view it actually beats the other view we still get both which is amazing yeah but this one you have more you can see you can see uptown more yeah you should get this one we just said that about the last one but i think this one does i think there's actually more glass window here it's hard to believe but it was brighter the other one right yeah i think it's just the time of day though but this kitchen seems bigger i don't know maybe it's just me yeah as you can see needs a little bit of work but they obviously would fix this up before you move in [Music] this is your room [Music] sleep when she wakes she will move mountains is that you so this is the closet and then maybe there's the bathroom yeah wow look at you you don't need a walk-in closet [Applause] [Music] so there you have it we toured multiple buildings over a few weeks and i spared you the boring ones the last one we saw was amazing but 500 over her max budget we later found out but luckily we have a winner let me know in the comments which number apartment you would choose all right guys so we have come to the end of the video and we have decided finally on this well you decided finally on this one and this is the apartment we're going with uh just to give you guys some numbers this was originally six thousand six hundred but with four months free it came out to about four or nine net so you have four months on this so you have 16 months here are you excited i'm so excited i can't wait to furnish it make it all look pretty and homey exactly i'm so
