NYC Apartment Hunting Ultimate Guide: What I Learned from 50 Apartment Tours (watch before you move)

Apartment hunting in New York City is brutal—it’s intense, competitive, and expensive! Whether you’re moving to NYC for the first time or relocating within the city, this video is your ultimate guide to navigating the NYC rental market. I moved to NYC in early 2023, and my first apartment experience wasn’t what I expected. For my second apartment search in 2024, I went all in, doing an extensive hunt to find the right place. In this video, I’ll walk you through where to find listings, essential paperwork and eligibility requirements, key red flags, renter resources, and all the details on the apartments I applied to. I hope that sharing my journey will help you in your apartment search.

Love you guys!!!!
