Uh, it's sort of a 3-story loft. The first floor has a kitchen and a closet, the second floor has a bathroom, living area, and my bedroom, and the third floor has a bedroom and a vanity area, with a large closet.
I pay a bit of money for it, I'm not sure it's really worth what I pay, but I obviously love it.

Posted: 4/15/07 at 8:42pmI have a pretty fabulous apt. for the west village. It's a roomy one bedroom, top floor with a skylight in the living room, elevator, and lots of light all day.

Posted: 4/15/07 at 9:09pmI live in Queens -- in Astoria, it's really not a bad commute. 20 mins to midtown. And its safe and somewhat cheaper than Manhattan.

Posted: 4/15/07 at 9:19pmThe majority of Manhattan is nice and safe. It's the cheap part that comes into play.

I'm also eventually going to look for a place in NYC. But right now, I have one more year on my lease where I currently reside.

Posted: 4/15/07 at 9:39pmUnremarkable 1 bedroom in the West Village. What I pay is good because I'm rent-stabilized, but in the scheme of Manhattan apartment pricing, it's all ridiculous.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
#13re: Your NYC Apartment
Posted: 4/15/07 at 9:43pmYou have a .....rent. Stabilized? Ah, so jealous.

#14re: Your NYC Apartment
Posted: 4/15/07 at 9:53pmAren't most of the rental apts. in the city stablilized? I know that rent control is practically non existent by now, and that only buildings with what, 3 or less apts. do not come under stabilization laws. Am I missing a category? What's yours, Shira?

Well, stabilized raises the rent every year or two according to the law of percentage that year.
Rent control is almost phased out, where people are paying a fraction of what their neighbers in the same apts pay.
You posted that you were jealous of the rent stabilized one, so I asked what your building was.

Oh okay, I get it.
I think its rent stabilized. I'd like rent control though.

Posted: 4/15/07 at 10:23pmRent stabilized apartments are becoming very rare. There is now a law that says when an apartment reaches a rent of $2,000, it can be rented on a free market basis. Additionally, the rent stabilization program is based on a percentage of affordable apartments in the city. When that percentage amount is reached, rent stabilization will be done away with. (All of this is part of a master plan to get rid of the middle class in New York City).

If you apartment is rent stabilized it will say so on the lease that you sign, or at least mine did.
