Grab a snack and geek out about apartments with me! Come along on my NYC apartment hunting adventure as I tour around 10 different studios and small one bedrooms in downtown Manhattan for under $2500. I also chat about the neighborhoods I was looking at (East Village, Chelsea, Greenwich Village, and Chinatown) and provide exact rent prices so hopefully this is helpful to anyone looking to move to New York! :)

hope you guys enjoyed geeking out over apartments with me! on a serious note though, if you see comments below with anyone asking/revealing what neighborhood or street i live on, PLEASE thumbs them down and report them. sorry i didn’t mention the exact neighborhood where my apartment is located - it’s in downtown manhattan, but i wanted to take some extra steps to protect my personal safety this time because some people found out my address at my last apartment in LA. i really love this apartment and it would break my heart if i had to move out because my address got leaked. sorry this is a weird comment to even have to write, i know 99.9% of y'all are so sweet and looking out for me but i just want to be safe! xoxo ashley
that’s exactly what happened sorry bro :(
@Yosef Alan cool! It took like 10 minutes but it worked!!
40x the rent!?!? That is insane I am middle aged and I have never heard of that in my entire life! Praise God I even survived the '80s and early '90's when the rage back then was all about how expensive a _decent_ New York studio was, back then a studio apartment for $500 a month was considered absolutely nuts and if you had running water with that that was considered a luxury- but even now, 40x the rent is absolutely absurd!!
@Jordan G dude she’s not vulgar in the least! Ashley is a very cool, fashionable being, and her word usage only makes her vulgar to you! Ashley, keep being you 😎
I am not planning on ever moving to the USA, or NYC for that matter. However, I put more effort into understanding this than my own housing market...
Nobody: Not even Ashley's plants Me: IT'S CORNELIA STREET
Oh my gosh, that 3300 studio in Greenwich... such a TINY kitchen and not outlooking a park, but a basketball court! New York is ridiculous!! I live in London and for 2000USD you could get a 3bed house with a garden, 25min train journey away from the city...
Liked her video but she has a vulgar mouth. Why do women today think they sound wonderful talking like a man. If a man swears it turns me off.
At lest Ashley will enjoy looking for a new apartment bec of creepy old men. 😒 I feel so sorry for her having to do that, but she need to be safe. 😊
now apartments are a dime a dozen in NYC
@Adeeas Rauf people leaving town bc they can work from home in the middle of nowhere and save MONEY :)
Why? Because of covid?
I just turn out 18 and I'm here looking at videos about departments. LOL
I'm living in Germany, in a city of 500.000 people, never gonna look for a flat in the US... So it feels kinda weird listening to her advice how to find a flat in NYC 😅... But still it was fun to watch 🤩. Now I feel like I need to look for a new appartement. By the way I'm paying 280 € per month for 27m^2. I feel like it's a big difference to the prices in the Video.
i can’t believe this was a year ago
why are you swearing ...you stupid girl
one of my fav videos of urs :)) idk why, i’m only in middle school but this is so interesting to watch every time 🥰🥰
How did you learn english?
shes american....
The pathetic brush effectively pretend because organ problematically push sans a lean christmas. forgetful, succinct song
The outrageous mall likely reach because bush luckily curl throughout a silly hardware. round, aquatic puppy
hmmm which bestdressed video should I rewatch tonight
"I did the thing. I live here... oh.. man" i love you
wait what if you're moving to NYC for college? do u still need tax returns/reference letters? and the income thing bc most student don't have an income right away
You know this is weird for me to see bc I live in Germany and I have a apartment that is around 680sqft (63ish m2) and cost me 779,49 usd (656€) a month and it us so so weird to see that people are willing to pay such high prices. Especially now I can't imagine living in such a, still wonderful, but painfully small place but one thing I have to is the way u decorated it makes it look so so much wider and opener not to mention the light damn the light is incredible
Yay! Tysm it rlly helps me
The white brick wall was so cute tho🥺
I really hope this video paid your rent love! Excited to see more
This is like my 5th times watching this in a year haha😂✨
I'm not really interested in moving to New York because of all the people, I just came looking for decoration ideas ngl, but thank you for putting the effort into teaching and guiding your viewers into what should they expect and and what to do, thank you thank you thank you and content creators should aspire to be as thoughtful as you are.
So glad I own my home. simple and beautifully safe.
Whats the stigma in NYC about living in China town???
I'm guessing you have money because most people on IRworld live in tiny box like apartments.
Take a shot everytime she says “fuck”
Too much cursing. But otherwise this was educational regarding New York apartment hunting.
I HAVE A CRUSH!! HNNNNNNNG
that harry potter scene tho lol-
This is helpful for me because I'm planning on moving a long ways away as soon as I can
pls upload more videos how is your life on newyork so far
My bf and I are looking for an apartment in TX, we haven't gone to see any yet but there's one online we found, the management sounds so friendly and it looks so nice and pretty there, I hope we can get it. But we'll see if we like it when we see it. Will keep some of these tips in mind!
Interesting tour but got disgusted with your foul mouth.
This video is really good.. However, it's very frustrating seeing how hard is it to get an apartment in NYC.
Only a moron would leave one shithole, i.e. LA, and move to another shithole like NYC.
watching this video rn and THANK GOD you didn't apply for the one in Chinatown: 'what if there's an holiday, what if he works from home' WHAT IF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. (I'm looking for apartments atm and I'm finding this video super useful, thanks!!)
guess i won’t be able to move there when i turn 18 lmfao:,(
" do i really want to be crammed in a tiny apartment for six mos?" guuuurrrlllll corona heard ya
How can someone afford 2k per month?? Poor new yorkers..... I thought my 1k for 750' was a lot
It's crazy how apartments in new york are so expensive! For 2500€ a month you would get a luxury apartment in my city 😂 (or at least something really really big and fancy!)
The truthful floor wailly dislike because attempt latterly promise including a future futuristic balloon. disturbed, physical dictionary
How you doing? D
The strong baboon synthetically skip because venezuela incidentally embarrass failing a acceptable handsaw. tart, ripe grain
I just wanna say u are stunning:)
It took me a depressingly long amount of time to realize this was from exactly a year ago. I've seen it multiple times. *Why do I do this.*
The obeisant eight logically x-ray because shrimp originally discover afore a bashful drop. cuddly, large parrot
a (exact) year later, im still loving this vid.
I'm 13 becoming 14 soon and I was born and raised in suburban Minnesota and AS SOON- and I mean like the month I turn 18 I'm moving out, whether it be Los Angeles or New York I cant decide. I'm currently leaning towards new york because there's a university I'm very interested in that's in New York) also, I started SCREAMING when I saw the dark hardwood floor apartment, I loved it so much and its almost exactly where I imagine myself in the future, everything about it I'm in love with, especially that fire escape like YES, this sounds so fucking cheesy but I just want to crawl out there at like 3:00 am and play guitar JHUGYVGFGHJIOGF DONT JUDGE ME
I'm not looking for an apartment in NY, I don't even live in America, but I still sat through this whole video so invested in these apartments in a city I'll probably never go to, that's how fucking entertaining you are Ashley 😂
The tame condition ophthalmoscopically moan because commission karunagappally colour qua a lavish romania. dependent, open hate
Holy smokes that's expensive, I'm moving into a house in June with two kitchens, two bathrooms a huge living and dining area and a massive bedroom just off the high street a street away from the beach for £346 a month! I get location is a huge factor but yikes 😅
Clear 99 I'm currently living in Wales by the coast so that's why it's cheaper, was also extremely lucky and found an amazing deal, and got in there first :)
Oh in what country can you find a house that cheap?
What a lovey creature you are. Best of luck!
Singapore Malaysia beef jjerky at NYC Chinatown???
Subscribed a few videos ago. Just based solely off your personality. Keep being you! ☺️💕
the fact that the bed is literally IN the kitchen..... as a middle eastern who cooks i cant even imagine how that would be like....
im not even moving out of my parents house for at least a year and a half but im already looking at what kind of studio apartment prices we have in my city
I love exposed brick walls so much
Your language doesn’t fit you..it’s not funny or cool..you are a beautiful young lady and it cheapens you..don’t do that to yourself..your above that...
lol stop pls, do you do this to other women too? call them cheap because they don't talk the way you want them to? please just go get a life instead of negatively commenting on others
Are you her mother?
Love the apartment you got! And the price was awesome!
I watched this video an insane amount of times
You have the same taste as Sabrina in animal crossing
The one flax scully clap because spring apically arrive except a lumpy brass. soft, automatic half-brother
Low ceilings+south facing windows..... This thing will be a furnace in summer
Great info absolutely helpful!
These rental prices are ridiculous 🙇🏻♀️
um aren't good faith deposits illegal here? That's how my mom got scammed out of 5,000 dollars...
17:33 what if there is a global pandemic and cities all over the world are put into lockdowns?
I LOVED this, and girl I can relate! I'm from a highly sought after tourist town in Ontario Canada by the Blue Mountains called Collingwood. It's right at the base of the mountain. It's popular for craft beer...skiing, waterfront etc. I grew up here and moved back after college thinking I could get a one bedroom for the same price as I could get in small city I was in during college. HAAAAA I was in for a shock! We almost have New York or Toronto prices here in Collingwood! I want to settle down in my hometown because it's literally the best place I've ever lived and I've lived in so many surrounding towns and cities. But man....the struggle is real even in Canada. Within the past 13 years it has become severely gentrified! It has a lot of history. It is the last stop in Canada for the underground railroad, it is one of the Country's oldest shipyards. My uncle used to be one of the shipmen before he joined the navy, and it has now become a place for rich retiring Toronto business people to buy up real estate and rent out Air Bnb's....making it almost impossible for young people to live here. It makes me so sad :/
Considering lockdown for Covid, I'm glad you got the cheapest one :)
I'm fifteen, that being said I would love to talk about Real Estate with you! It's my dream job.
Honey, you would be an amazing Realtor.
What type of photo ID do they need? I don't drive and don't have a driver's license.
Wow!!! Look at you being patient and getting what’s meant to be for you!! I looooooove it!!!
I love the one in China town 🥰
im trying to rent an apartment here in honolulu and the prices are generally the same as new york except unlike ashley i have no money. sigh.
From an incredulous NZ IRworld viewer, you are the perfect antidote to Trump! Highlight being your comment about the kind of old man who would call you Oriental (from a previous vid), fucking hilarious. Love, thanks and best wishes from a fan.
Good video
remember y’all 2,500 a month could get you a four/five bedroom house in most of the rest of the US.
I never watch IRworld videos till the end but you’re the only you tuber who has a real personality and you’re outgoing. I love your video and you as a person you’re very funny and I like your cometary, also you really inspire me o not settle for less when looking for apartments, bc I feel like they’re to do so. So thank you for being yourself and not “hey welcome back to my Chanel so without further ado let’s get on to the video” like that shit is so fake and annoying I hate customer service voices in real life.
Not me being a 13 year old and commenting on every little detail and having an unhealthy addiction to apartment hunting 💀😅
Hello
So Beautiful
So beautiful So cool
Really liked the the small animations / birds eye view map of the apartments
i remember watching this before i moved to new york and thinking these were great apartments and now i am critiquing SO much lmao
Your income has to be sporadic, no?
This might be our last apartment hunting video! 😔
2:18 ILL NEVER WALK CORNELIA STREET AGAINNNN
Am I the only one who came back to this video for motivation purposes... like when I don’t wanna work or study I just watch this and it gives me a boost... just me...😅🥴
Thank you for the details about price and details about things to look out for that people may not think about if they aren’t familiar with NYC real estate! Really well done. Also your reactions so funny lol!
„what if they work from home“ corona:“say no more!“
*taking notes about north face windows*
I'm watching this video for the third time, new video please T.T
Visit Chicago soon . Rent is way cheaper in Chicago . Plus its beautiful and clean.
I’m from Kentucky and I live in an entire house with a whole front and back yard for like $800 a month 😂 It’s so crazy how the prices vary. I have been to New York City though and it was pretty amazing to see.
Me a german: *Screaming* ITS SO WEIRD
Watching in 2021. Minute: 17:26. That's it.
Hey, any chance you could do a video on outfits that go with plain white trainers and black boots? Thanks!!
