Title: $1,650 A Month West Village Apartment
Post by: Palumboism on January 31, 2021, 09:58:19 AM
Tiny NYC apartment with no bathroom costs $1,650 a month.

Now I understand why the Mayor doesn't care if people leave the city.  Millennials must really like NYC to put up with this scam.

Hahhaha reminds of the time I was walking up to my buddies house and as I got close to the front door a big crap landed a few feet away from me as he was taking a dump out the second floor window.

You have to walk down the hall to the toilet with no sink and for a shower you go further down the hall.  Both require a key.

I like the part where at the very end they zoom out (from the wrong angle) and you can clearly see that your neighbors are within earshot while you're out on your skyscraper balcony. You'll undoubtedly have to keep the blinds closed on that side of the house 24/7.

LOVE the balcony overlooking the entirety of Central Park, don't really like anything else.

That said, for $40Million, there's nothing about that place I could EVER afford.

240 million for that? I get it, some people have so much money that they don't give a shit. However, that is not worth 240 million dollars. But some billionaire  will probably pay the asking price.

That is why city living is so overrated. For 240 million dollars, you can buy your own private island, and build a castle.

Still will have enough left over for ESPN+ and Netflix.

I believe it's actually worth $40 Million. I think they didn't properly advertised the real price, but here is the most recent listing:

https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/150-Central-Park-S_New-York_NY_10019_M34952-82816 (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/150-Central-Park-S_New-York_NY_10019_M34952-82816)

Still, if you put down 20% as a down payment, your monthly Principal + Interests + Property Taxes + Home Insurance + HOA fees combines will cost you $500,000/month!!!

I mean, WTF, monthly property taxes alone just to have the property is $28K/month!

Living in a broom closet with a communal bathroom down the hall and a hotplate to cook on is common in NYC unless you want to spend $2-$3k/mo.

Even for $2-$3k you only be lucky to get a small studio.

Forget about having a car.  Parking is $25-$50 a day.

But hey, it's worth it to live in NYC they say.  Personally I detest living in a big city.

$1650 is dirt cheap for New York city.  Little crap apartments go for $5K a month. Prior to DeBlasio though it was the place to make serious money.  Now it looks like a post apocalypses abandoned hell hole.

For someone who dreamed of living in NY now is probably the time to make the move.  You can probably get a very reduced price that's rent controlled.  Once DeBlasio is out and the city picks back up you'd be set.

Absolutely. But, can you find a job that pays as much as many do in NYC? It is likely that the town is too far a commute to the city if the cost of living is significantly lower.

I have family in Bronxville, NY which is 15 miles from Manhattan. Trust me, there is nothing cheap about living there, although you do pay less per sq. ft. which is, $331 on average. On the other hand, houses are pretty large. Presently, there are 148 homes for sale in Bronxville ranging in price from $99K to 10M.

When I was a tiny tot, my parents bought a small post WWII house in West field, NJ. and my dad commuted 28 miles to NYC for his job. Today, homes in West Field are comparable in price to those in Bronxville.

My grandparents lived in South Orange, NJ which is 23 miles outside NYC. My grandfather was a corporate attorney who commuted into Manhattan. Today the median price per sq. ft is $275. slightly less than the other two cities I exampled. They had a very large old Victorian on a big lot with a garage/barn and a gardener's cottage. Just for curiosity, I checked today's estimated value on Zillow which is $937K.

But srsly, how is that possilbe? Do people earn that much more in NYC? I mean, in a huge city there have to be "regular people" (nurses, policemen, store clerks etc.) as well, how can they afford housing/living there, assuming not every cop or nurse is living in his/her car? ???

Hey man, store clerks are regular people, Nurses are not.

I used to serve as an accountant for one of the major hospitals here in NYC and part of my role involved processing payroll to ADP. I'll have you know that as far back as 2016, Nurses in big NYC hospitals working day shift were being started at $95,000/year. If they worked night shift, they were being started at closer to $110,000. Remember, these people work 3 shifts every week with an additional 4 days off every week. They could literally work 2 extra days each week as overtime (still getting 2 days off every week for rest) and over the course of a year by way of overtime they could gross well over $200,000/year.

In other words, Nurses are far from "regular people". Unlike cops and store clerks, they also have much more rigorous educational standards (Bachelors degrees, various certifications and national licensing exams).

The pay you make in NYC is offset by the cost of living.  You can live in Manhattan, Kansas for way less and you don't have to deal with the traffic and other high expenses.

Yup! And, relatively well off retired seniors. My family there was comprised of both. An aunt and uncle with money and two younger second cousins earning high incomes.

When taking the train back from NYC and upon arriving at the station, 'pirate taxis' chauffeured us home for a fairly low price. This was before Uber.

My ex lived in a small "loft" in downtown Houston. It was $2200 a month for 550 SF, parking was $125 per month and there were no visitor spots. I had to Uber to her place or park my car 3 blocks away and pay $40 for an overnight stay.

This place was a shoebox, you could barely fit two people in there. The bathroom was so small you couldn't shut the door while sitting on the toilet, you had to stand in the shower, close the door and then sit with your knees up against the back of the door. It was insane.

The laundromat was always full unless it was after midnight. You had to carry an access card everywhere, all doors locked. Trash bin was in the alley behind the place, took 20 minutes to take the trash out.

It was an old office space converted into small "lofts".

Oh and the view was of the local homeless camp off main street by the light rail. Bums pissing and shitting on the sidewalks, harassing everyone who passed by.

But she loved it because it was "hip" and close to all the downtown hipster bars/clubs.

For the same price i had a 2000 SF house on a 1/3 acre 20 miles outside of town.

Yup. As long as you can afford it, where you live is pretty much a matter of choice. There's a long running TV show, House Hunters on which many of their episodes address this issue between partners, one wants the city because it's where all the action is and the other wants the suburbs where you get more house for your money. What they end up buying, goes either way.

That's true. I always want to live in the suburbs or in the country on a few acres of land. I grew up in the country so i think that's why that's my preferred location.

All my past GF's like the big city life. Probably why we never live together. ;D

I can't stand crowds and want peace and quiet.

It's not that it bothers me that people want to live downtown, i just find it annoying and extremely inconvenient. I remember at 7am if would take me 10-15 minutes just to get out of the parking garage due to the insane traffic. I guess if you work a few blocks away and can walk it's different, but i worked 12 miles away.

Like this morning i drank coffee on my back patio while watching a few quail run around the yard searching for bugs. Nice and peaceful. When i used to stay downtown with my ex you couldn't even open a window and the view was homeless people and traffic.

A couple of points:

1) There’s nothing like living in Manhattan when you’re 25-35 and making a few bucks. Nothing. It’s a great lifestyle.

2) There aren’t many “regular” people living in Manhattan, although there are housing projects and subsidized or regulated housing, i.e., rent controlled or rent subsidized. Regular people live in the outer-boroughs or lower rent suburbs.

3) Suburban cops in the NY-area, particularly on Long Island, make $200K a year easy. And they get to retire on half-pay after 20 years. And their half-pay is based on the average of their last 3 years when they rack up the overtime. They then move to FL at age 44 with their $150-$175K tax-free pensions. It’s a racket.

4) Real Bronxville houses, meaning those in the Bronxville school district, are as upscale as it gets. Expect to pay $1 million for a 2400 sq ft house with $50K a year in property taxes, if you can find one as a true Bronxville house is hard to find. The prices goes up from there and expect a bidding war. There are some apartments near the train station that are in the Bronxville SD but the residents there (Soul Crusher types) are viewed as losers by the homeowners.

5) See No. 1.

And their half-pay is based on the average of their last 3 years when they rack up the overtime. They then move to FL at age 44 with their $150-$175K tax-free pensions. It’s a racket.

4) Real Bronxville houses, meaning those in the Bronxville school district, are as upscale as it gets. Expect to pay $1 million for a 2400 sq ft house with $50K a year in property taxes, if you can find one as a true Bronxville house is hard to find. The prices goes up from there and expect a bidding war. There are some apartments near the train station that are in the Bronxville SD but the residents there (Soul Crusher types) are viewed as losers by the homeowners.

5) See No. 1.

I don't agree with 2 at all, Im 35 and am barely in manhattan, My apt cost more than an manhattan apt as well. For at least the last 10 years brooklyn is wayyyyy wayyyy cooler than manhattan. There's almost no nightlife worth going to in manhattan for anyone under 40, i guess if i was old and cared about the opera or ballet i'd venture into the city more

There are some areas in western Queens and downtown Brooklyn that are good for the younger crowd. However, that’s a relatively new phenomenon (like you said last 10 years, maybe more in the case of Brooklyn). On the whole though, Manhattan is still way more expensive to live in than the outer boroughs. There are blocks and blocks in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s filled with multi-million dollar apartments.

Over priced everything and unless you are a multi millionaire (very few men age 25-35) you have no chance with the gorgeous women there.  What's the point?

That’s just ridiculous. You don’t have to be a multi-millionaire. Not even close.

with 9 million people just in nyc you can't walk down the block without running to a gorgeous woman, they're in abundance. nyc is also like top 15 in least obese cities
You also can't walk a block without running into a millionaire.  There are more gorgeous women but there is much more competition as well.  Unless you are elite in the wallet, you aren't getting those girls.

I pretty much stay stay in brooklyn that's not the scene there, that's more of a meatpacking or sutton place vibe. Plus i find the girls that chase rich dudes are usually indians, asians or russians and those aren't really my type

Your place looks like it is coming along nicely. You've managed to get a lot of function into a fairly tight space. Everything except your office seems well organized. Seems like the office was a catch all in the last video I saw. The storage shed should help. Considering the climate there, aren't you somewhat limited in what you can safely store in an unheated and uncooled space? The living area color scheme suits you and the limited palette helps keep the space from looking cluttered.

I noticed the curb at the street end of your driveway. That is the same style curbing as in my neighborhood. I hate the way it feels when driving the car over it. A few years back I bought online hard rubber ramps designed specially to soften the curb. They worked great. Many of  my neighbors put them in after I did.

I say worked because when I had a new driveway installed, I got a permit from the city to redesign the curb to a softer one which meets ADA requirements. Mine is the first and only redesign in the neighborhood so far. Other folks are still using the rubber ramps. I gave mine to my neighbor.

You. mentioned your Bose sound system. Is your soundbar not part of it? I bought a Bose soundbar which works great on it's own. I expect it is possible to add speakers and a subwoofer for richer full sound if one wanted too.

the video was a month after I bought it which was 2 years ago.  A lot of stuff was sorted and a ton of unused items were shedded.  This is the office/ exercise space currently.   I've made a number of improvements to the home since then.

Killer! You really pulled that room together. Love the dual monitors. They make it look like you are really a busy professional.. 

I am definitely jealous. I gave up the bedroom I planned to make into my office, when I agreed to let my my grandson and his fiance moved in. Right now, my great granddaughter occupies the space. She's almost a year old. She needs the room more than I do. they are only suppose to be here for another year....we'll see.

For the time being, I've got a mini-office setup in my bedroom. Fortunately, this room is pretty large. But, having one's office in the room where they sleep is not ideal. For Zoom meetings, I am using the living room because the light is better. Ultimately, I hope to have a bookcase full of books as a backdrop like all the folks on TV do. LOL!

Getting back on subject, I don't know why anyone would think that you can't get fine cuisine in Greenville, SC.   I went to Passerelle Bistro for dinner tonight and had a Wild Boar Osso Buco Cassoulet along with a Coffee Creme Brulee for dessert with a glass of Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris and french roast coffee.   Best of all, the whole meal was about 70 bucks and when I'm in Asheville or New York its going to be well over 100 dollars.  New York can kiss my ass....too expensive for what it offers and I have a much higher level of living in South Carolina along with not having to deal with the COV-19 bullshit

No, only NY and SF have good restaurants.  The rest of us across the US eat peanut butter sandwiches for every meal.

Out of curiosity do you know what would $1600 get you in Thunderbay, (besides a broken heart and a restraining order)?

For another 150 a month, so 1800, you can get a 3 bedroom house on 40 acres just outside of Thundery BAy. Comes with a mancave with pool table and foosball table, chickens with multiple coops, many many bushes with edible berries and 5 minutes to multiple beaches and fishing spots

probably have to have an eye appealing penis to get it though, and it must measure 6.45 inches

But srsly, how is that possilbe? Do people earn that much more in NYC? I mean, in a huge city there have to be "regular people" (nurses, policemen, store clerks etc.) as well, how can they afford housing/living there, assuming not every cop or nurse is living in his/her car? ???

Most of the cops in NYC live in NJ or in cheaper neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens. No cop could afford mid town Manhattan.  Even though cops and many nurses in NYC make over 100K they couldn't afford Manhattan.

I asked my brother the same thing!  He used to live outside of San Francisco, and now he lives outside of Seattle.  In his old neighborhood, a house that burned sold for $1.4m, yes... 1.4 F*cking million dollars.  Keep in mind, you are paying for the home to be demolished and removed, so the buyer essentially paid around 1.5m for a lot of land less than 3/4 of an acre!!!!!!  I asked him where do people live that make less than 300k a year, and he just said "not around here"! LOL!

Cops don't live outside of the city because they can't afford to live here. Everyone who is not a uniformed officer that works for the NYPD (administrative, etc) has to live here and they are not all making hundreds of thousands of dollars.

No one ever accused NYC of being reasonably priced, but it is not  impossible for "normies" to live here. NYC is not just midtown or even manhattan. There's nothing wrong with living in an outer borough, but even staying within Manhattan, there are plenty of areas with more reasonable housing prices than central midtown.
Yes, things can be very high priced in central midtown, but even here when you go east of 3rd or west of 9th,  rents drop drastically. And most new yorkers know that studios and one bedrooms are the worst bang for your buck, 2 and 3 bedrooms are a pretty decent deal if you are splitting with a roommate (which is common in NYC.)   
Also, singles who see a future with each other tend to move in together really fast here to save money on rent. Then there is a decent amount of subsidized housing here.  Wages are generally higher here than in most of the rest of the country, but there are plenty of moderate incomes living all over manhattan.
