Welcome to round 2 of my NYC apartment hunting!! This year we only looked at places in Manhattan and did these tours during late July. Being familiar with this process already was definitely helpful, but the hunt and application process was still stressful nonetheless. All of these tour videos were taken with 0.5x zoom, and good luck with your hunt if you're touring for apartments in NYC too!

P.S. look forward to some moving vlogs coming soon :)

    first time seeing you and I really loved this video and your vibe. xoxo

    Congratulations on your apartment! Location is everything.

    I’d almost rather spend the higher amount to get a true 2 bedroom in another area- I mean, since you technically have to pay to put up the wall and tentatively pay to take it down- couldn’t you increase your budget slightly to get a true 2 bedroom? Or are there really none in your budget in the areas you looked at? I’m from CA, so I have no clue! :-)

    This is great. Did you know your roommates before? I'm moving there from texas but i don't know anyone. Are there tips for finding roomies?
  • @namisan9310
    if you don't mind me asking, how are you able to look at $5400 apartments? Does it follow the 40X rule? I'm just surprised because I thought you graduated recently. I can't seem to find a good apartment in my budget because of the 40X rule😪😪

    Is there a reason why you guys didn’t just look for a 2 bedroom instead of a 1 bedroom/flex?
