NYC ppl??? (apartment question)? |
Ok, I've just looked up for apartments in manhattan and I found this website: http://manhattan.apartments.com/... anyways, when I click on the areas and search for apartments there is always talked about communities there and there are pics of the lobby, exercise room and so on. I've never lived in a city so I'm kinda confused. Are the apartments there like little hotels or what? what I'm thinking is that there's your apartment in a building and then there are several rooms for all ppl living there or what? Or am I just too stupid to find the right website? Plz tell me, I'm really confused. they are mentionning the amenities the community offer to their residents: fitness center etc... Usually those types of things are included in your rent or for a small fee - to encourage you to live there rather than somewhere else where you have to pay extra and go out of your way for those activities. Its incentive for you to lease with them. You must be rich. It is ridiculously expensive to live in Manhattan. there are lots of apartments in the city that have doormen and fitness areas.....and grocery stores in the lobby...this is for the convenience of the people who can afford to pay high rents. I live in Washington D.C and alot of their apartment buildings are like that too, lobby, excersise room, pool/spa... Te nicer the apartment building the nicer the ammenities, but to answer your question: Yes, they can resemble hotels. It's actually kinda cool, and alot safer Those building are impossible to get into. A lot of them have associations that have to vote new tenants in. The monthly fees for all those luxuries like pools and gyms, can be many hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Better to look for a roommate situation in New Jersey. Craigslist.org is the best apartment hunting resource online I think. |
