How much would a new york apartment cost?

The smallest thing out there. I don’t care if it has fucking roaches or whatever. I need something super small and cheap that isn’t in the ghetto (wherever that is). How much do you think I would have to pay? How much do you think I would have to make to live there? Thanks!
do you think I could get somthing for $500 a month?

The median NYC apartment is $650,000.
I own a luxury condo in Midtown and it was $1.7 million.

Good luck on finding something in the city for $500. The typical and median apartment rent for a NYC apartment is $2,000.

The only thing you will get with $500 a month is a 120 square foot apartment in the ghetto of Queens.

Why is it illegal to rent a holiday apartment in New York City?

I’ve been reading about the amount of scam rentals in New York City and keep finding endless posts on forums saying that all/most of the time it’s illegal to rent an apartment in New York for less than 30 days. Is this true? What law is it stopping us and how can we find the few legal lets?

Thanks!

Most people do it regardless of whatever law. There is also a law in New York that you cannot dance if the bar has no Cabaret license….

There is a 30 day rule in New York. If someone has resided in a unit for more than 30 days regardless of payment status, that person has a right to the dwelling and can only be put out through legal Eviction through Court procedure.

So if you stay somewhere 31 days it is illegal for the locks to be changed etc.

Given that, it probably is not legal because anything less than 30 days the person can totally throw you out and do whatever with the money.

Most NYPD officers will always refer Tenant situations to court unless violence is involved.

"what is a new york style apartment?"?

I’m shopping for apartments in Los Angeles. Many of the adds for places in Koreatown say, "New York Style apartment." What does that mean?

Well, there are a lot of architectural styles in New York, but the common modern usage of the term would suggest an appartment that incorporates these characteristics: urban- industrial- metro- loft-
and uses a pallette of muted pale colors such as concrete, putty, white, taupe, and clay.

Betsey Johnson: Beautiful Clothes, Beautiful Person

Betsey Johnson really does make this world a more beautiful place.

She’s the iconic designer with the downtown sense of style. For over 40 years, Betsey Johnson has been rocking the fashion world with her fun, flirty and fabulous clothes. But there’s so much more to Betsey than meets the eye. This designing superstar sat down with momlogic to talk about success, secrets and surviving breast cancer.

“I had these boobs in saline, for like ten years. I didn’t think about them. I never liked them.” Until one morning when Betsey woke up and found one was gone. “It deflated over night and that was OK because it was just salt water in my system. So I went to my doctor and decided to have them both out — the good one looked just like it did when it was put in, the bad one looked like those mushrooms, those shiitake, really bad-looking, brown, shriveled-up mushrooms. I was so glad to have them both out. In the healing process I noticed scar tissue, and then I saw this little bump next to the scar tissue.” That little bump turned out to be cancer.

But instead of leaning on her extended circle of friends and family for support, Betsey decided to keep the news a secret, sharing the information only with her daughter, Lulu. “I decided that I couldn’t tell anybody but Lulu — and she had to swear that she would keep it a secret, because I just couldn’t handle it. I had my radiation every morning at 7:30 and nobody knew — just me and Lulu. I thought about it kind of like a contagious disease — not so much physically contagious — but mentally and emotionally contagious. I just thought ‘Well, everyone is going to think that I’m just going to die so they won’t sell me a fabric anymore.’”

But clearly, Betsey is a survivor in every sense of the word. Not only did she beat breast cancer, but she has made it her mission to help others do so as well. Betsey is a tireless advocate of breast cancer awareness and fundraising programs. “I think it’s crucial to be positive — really really positive. I’ll do anything constantly to just to keep the money coming in and to keep young girls and everybody aware. I mean that’s all you can do, just bring it up.”

It’s her devotion to the cause, as well as to her new role as grandma, which makes Betsey the happiest and most fulfilled she’s ever been. In fact, the devoted New York City downtown dweller recently sold her beloved Greenwich Village apartment so she could move into the same uptown building where Lulu and granddaughters Layla and Ella live. “It’s so great to see your daughter have the life that I always dreamed of. I’m thinking that when I’m with my walker or with my wheelchair how nice it will be to get in to the elevator and press down or up.”

But no matter where she lives, Betsey will always be at home on the runway. Each show ends with Betsey’s signature cartwheel and now another showstopper as well: a victory lap down the catwalk with her fans cheering from their seats and her adorable granddaughters smiling in her arms. And as we all know, those are the greatest accessories of all.

Living in or Visiting Philadelphia – Looking at the Community

Philadelphia is the fifth highest populated city in the entire USA and the largest city in Pennsylvania. With a population of just over 1.5 million living in Philadelphia offers you a great cultural atmosphere.

Philadelphia is fondly called Philly and as the city of brotherly love. It is the second largest city along the east coast and it is a major educational and commercial center as well as housing the largest cultural center in the United States. It is also the fourth largest metropolitan in the United States. Philadelphia’s downtown and New York City’s downtown are only 80 miles apart.

Philadelphia is rich in history and culture because it is one of the oldest cities in the United States. And while it holds the title of being one of the founding cities it is also one of the most innovative cities. It was the first city to have a botanical garden, the first city to have a public library, the first city to have a pediatric hospital, a cancer hospital, an eye hospital, and a medical school. It was the first city to have a municipal water system and a modern skyscraper. That’s just a few of its firsts. It’s easy to see how this city earned its reputation.

Philadelphia is a humid subtropical climate with hot and muggy summers, mild falls and springs, and cold winters. Its average summer temperature is 80 degrees while its average winter temperature is 32 degrees.

The median age is 34 with a slightly higher female population than male. The average income is $40,000. You’ll find the second largest Jamaican, Italian, and Irish population here and the third largest Puerto Rican and African American population.

Philadelphia has the highest homicide rate in the United States and it earns the honorable title of being the 6th most dangerous city in the USA. Don’t let those numbers scare you off because as with any large cities there are pockets that are heavy in crime while the areas around are as safe as any other community.

The average single family dwelling runs around $215,000. Condominiums have become very popular and thus make up the majority of new development occurring in Philadelphia. A 2 bedroom apartment will run you around $1000 a month for rent depending on the location.

There are several Fortune 500 companies that have their head office located in Philadelphia which means there are some very good paying jobs here. Philadelphia is also home to the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

This is a city with a very high student population because of the prestigious Drexel University College of Law, American Law Institute, University of Pennsylvania Law School, and Temple University Beasley School of Law.

But wait there’s more. This is also a very important area for medical research with Wyeth, Siemens, Merck, AstraZeneca, and GlaxoSmithKline all having large research facilities in Philadelphia also offering very high paying jobs.

This is a city with a distinct past and a distinct future. If you are looking for a city of opportunity this is certainly a city that fits the bill. Living in Philadelphia offers you all kinds of great opportunities.
