SPOTTED: NYC Apartment Renting Tips (Series) Episode 1

04/12/21 • 18 min

Making big moves in 2021? The rental market landscape has definitely changed due to the pandemic, and I believe it’s still very much a renters market in New York City.

Whether you’re a current New Yorker who looked to optimize during Covid’s availability in NYC and upgraded your apartment to get those views you always dreamed about; or move to a new more desirable neighborhood; maybe have more amenities; or need more space, etc., it’s all been possible and it’s only the beginning.

If your new to the city and/or dreaming of a New York Lifestyle, it’s more than possible!- I’ve gathered some tips throughout my apartment search, which you may find helpful and I’m here to answer any questions you might have.

I’ve had my finger on the pulse since early on as well as the height of apartment rental vacancies in the city during September/October 2020 and have experienced it firsthand.

From what’s going on with brokers and fees right now, to the stringent application process, the difference neighborhoods in the city, things only New Yorkers would know about apartments and searches, etc. There is so much more to share that I’ve decided to start an ongoing ‘Spotted’ series on Apartment hunting.

This would not have been possible without the number one source New Yorkers look to find an apartment, StreetEasy.

Making NYC Your Temporary Home with Mark & Kristen Morgan

Who doesn’t have the travel bug right now? I definitely do! How amazing would it be if one could try before they buy into something - especially a place like New York City!

That’s exactly what my guest’s this week did, Mark & Kristen Morgan. Scientists by trade and world travelers by design, they left everything behind and set off on an 18 month honeymoon around the world in 2018 and ended it right before Covid-19 hit. However, that did not stop them towards the end of 2020, settling into New York and experiencing the city nearly all to themselves for a couple months in 2021.

With a world of knowledge learned from traveling to 4 different continents and 35+ countries...and counting 'Where Are Those Morgans' travel blog - tune in to hear their perspective on the city, what they liked, disliked, and if they’ll make New York their permanent home. Also, hear some of their amazing travel adventures, which seem right out of a movie. What countries they enjoyed best; how much you can expect to spend in some countries and what 18 month of travel will set you back, plus suggestions on where to go next and of course, how to explore and live in NYC just as they did.

All of this and so much more on the episode. Let me know what you think and what you’d like to hear more of. Thank you, Mark & Kristen!
Please Note: Mark and Kristen's stay in New York City was from Jan-April 2021
