Hey gays,
Jeff and I have been living in the same building since we moved to NYC. We got lucky when we first arrived and landed the 1st apartment at 310 east 23rd street 5c. Our landlord was a nice guy Sherman who was a producer at VH1. We had moved from a 2 bedroom apartment in Norwalk, CT to a 600 Sq. foot studio loft, what a nightmare...LOL. We had so much stuff. The boxes were literally from floor to ceiling.
We were forced over the years to unload lots of furniture and items. It really is hard to keep a small place from feeling cluttered and maddening. We spent 5 years in 5C and then had to move due to the sale of the apartment, in a way at the time I wish we had enough money to buy it...
We got lucky again when we found out that a woman we knew Jessica on the 6th floor was moving to Florida and about to rent her place. This apartment is on the opposite side of the building and faces 23rd street. It has a lot more light than 5c which was on the back side of the building, sometimes you'd feel like a bat in that place.
Well Jessica told us she has to sell the apartment but probably won't put it on the market until December. We are suppose to sign a new lease in February but she told us if we find another place after that she'll let us out of the lease. Renting in an apartment that goes on the market is a nightmare with open houses and such..we learned that from 5C, never again!
So we are thinking of stating to look in May and move in June. Apartment hunting in NY is a nightmare and I hate it!! We are thinking of breaking down and moving to a borough to save on rent to free up some cash. We may even consider moving to the Yonkers, Hudson area. There are times we've taken the train to my sisters and Bronxville looks lovely.
Goodness I know one thing I'm not looking forward to moving but in the end its probably best we get out of Manhattan. if we can find a place cheaper in Manhattan that would be great but if not we'll be training it.
If anyone in the NYC area hears of any apartments starting in February please let us know. Word of mouth is probably the best way of finding a place!
XO, BT
