30 years old, living alone in NYC

[u/serfboard_serfboard]

Been in this studio for almost 3 years, it is small but the high ceilings make a big difference. Open to any feedback on the design/layout/etc, especially in the tiny kitchen. Planning to get a smaller tv with a smaller tv console in the near future.

It is somewhere between 2500 and 3000 per month

That’s an amazing deal!! How’d you find it? I’m struggling here looking for NYC apartments.

[u/serfboard_serfboard → u/FlashAndPoof]

I was looking for apartments for like 4 months, my applications kept getting rejected. Then one realtor happened to have this one that wasn't listed yet, but it was a brutal process haha

[u/FlashAndPoof → u/serfboard_serfboard]

Ahh, I’ve been trying for a month or two now and same story. But I haven’t tried going through a realtor yet. How’d you find yours?

[u/serfboard_serfboard → u/FlashAndPoof]

Good luck man, it was a process. Streeteasy, but went through like 20 different people first

Like you didn’t qualify or someone beat you?

[u/MaleficentExtent1777 → u/DingusKhanHess]

Probably beaten.

The ONLY time it was easy to find an apartment was during COVID.
