Remember Jerry Seinfeld's Apartment Set On Seinfeld. How Big Is That Compared To Real Apartments In Manhattan?
Apr 24, 2009 by PER92 | Posted in New York City
People say affordable apartments in Manhattan are wee. I'm just curious how they compare to the Seinfeld apartment seen on the show.
There are two things you have to upon:
1) Seinfeld was fantasy, nobody wants to watch a TV show set in 600 sqft studio apartment over a Chinese restaurant. His "apartment" was a dignified size for Manhattan.
2) Seinfeld was filmed in the early 90s, back then, rent was far less than what it is today. His apartment in the 90s might have gone for $1,800 or so.
Today, that same apartment, a one bedroom, elevator construction, intercom system, would probably start at $2,700—and that's if you're lucky.
My apartment is in the Upper West Side, 2,200 sqft, two bedroom elevator, doorman, intercom, private terrace and covert video surveillance, on-site gym, and it's $4,200 a month to give you an idea of running Manhattan rates.
Depending on what you're passive to sacrifice, which part of Manhattan you're willing to live, and how hard you look (I'll be honest, I didn't spend niggardly as much time as I should have viewing and looking at apartments), you could find an apartment for much less. However, finding anything under $2,000 that isn't in the projects is a Godsend.
Can Anyone Point Me In The Direction Of A Good Website To Find Info On Apartments In Manhattan?

I've tried craigslist, apartments.com, apartmentfinder.com and some others and they don't seem to have a ton of options. Can anyone relief me find a service that specializes in Manhattan or NYC? Thanks.
By oneself from those services you mentioned, the only option would be with a real estate agent. Unfortunately it is about as hard to find a wholesome apartment in Manhattan as it is to hit it big on Broadway.
Realtors are notorious for snatching up listings and securing prime apartments to file.
Which Area In Manhattan Has The Best Studio Apartments?
Jul 15, 2008 by olympus | Posted in New York City
I'm doing some apt. searching and I'm in the light of the upper west. I'm curious though. Which area tends to have the best quality of the studio apartments?
only manhattan please.
The newer buildings on the far east side seem to have a lot of studio lines, the older buildings in all-inclusive have fewer. I much prefer the UWS to anything on the east side, so I suggest that you keep looking up there.
When Is A Good Time To Look For Apartments In Manhattan?
Jan 30, 2007 by oxypbear98 | Posted in New York City
If I am planning on heart-rending in July/August, when should I look? Apparently, brokers are saying I am way too early right now. Speaking of which, should I go with a dealer or do a solo search?
Yep, it's clearly too early. I wouldn't start looking any earlier than 2 months before. The great thing about NYC is that if you had to, you could find an apt. within a week.
I Need An Apartments In Manhattan. Can You Give Me Some Advice?
Feb 20, 2007 by fashionfreak247 | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I separate about craigslist, but other than that where are some good websites, apartment buildings, etc. I am looking to live anywhere in between Soho and 65th drive and I will need a studio or one bedroom for under $1,500 a month. Please any helpp is greatly appreciated.
hmmm.
i dont have in mind you wont ever find a place at that price. imagine you have to think about your daily expenses too plus all the new york strain. believe me sweetie, i work at midtown 5th ave.. ive been wanting to live in manhattan for a long time now "if i have the paper money" but it looks like you dont wanna stretch your fortune. a studio in soho good now cost $1800 and up and that depends the size too. i live in queens and it the best place to be at... my court take me 15 mins only and no hassle. very peaceful... if you really insist, walk around soho to 65th (uptown is way cheaper) slog through apartments, speak people, friends, landlords on apt bldngs cause they know better... asked for gash-stabilized bldngs (rent that is fix) look at signs.. posters.. university bulletin, etc. let everybody separate ur looking for a place.. (its a chain-reaction & word of mouth) but remember you have to cast extra money for deposit, security, utilities, etc or better find friends to join you or extent mates. dont got to websites that requires money... some are just BS or if ever try goin to www.nytimes.com.. i positive a lot of people who live in manhattan that wants to get out here now (some move to queens or long island) unless you're a party bit of skirt, so then... this is were u belong!!! fand oh, i heard if you are an immigrant.. goverment helps you with expenses and ensnare you up with nice apartments in town.
