Apartment living is terrible brehs

[eastsideTT]

Yeah sounds like you living in a building built pre 2010

You not having these problems in a 2016+ built spot.

you're more likely to experience it in new builds, because if you're renting in a new building (versus buying), chances are the building went up as quick as possible, as cheap as possible, and is designed for new tenants and transplants to cycle theough every year or two...opposed to being built for people and families to live in for long periods of time.

luxury rentals with amenities and all those bells and whistles are are glorified hotels, not homes. soon as you get tired of it and move, someone else will come into the mix wide eyed and impressed, and will take your place , usually paying a little bit more

I thoroughly enjoy my apartment. Neighbors are around my age, and the people upstairs don't have any pets nor young children. Plus I have a great view from my window

False ..I lived in Buckhead (Expensive Atlanta neighborhood) paying $1600+ and dealt with every problem listed in this thread

Yes you are even in those so called luxury apartments.

1) He a goddamn lie and dont know what he talking about.
But 2) You can be in a nice building but it still not be anywhere near a brand new construction.
So 3) Dude still wrong, and I feel you though.

nikka no tf y'all not....y'all nikkas need to do some research on yall spots before y'all go signing up for 6+ month leases. Y'all nikkas dumb af. You get what you pay for.

If this what ya shyt look like then yeah you gonna be hearing everything with those thin ass walls and gonna be smelling everything. Ole built pre 2000. GTFO with that nonsense.

If ya shyt looks like this in a downtown spot with concrete walls and respectable people in the building then you DON'T HEAR NONE OF THAT shyt! If you not overlookin the city when you peep out the window then please don't be talkin to me

sounds like you live in a shytty apartment....My current place 12 ft ceilings concrete walls....don't hear my neighbors
since i'm downtown majority of my neighbors are in their low 20's to late 30's...hot tub, pool parties, rooftop deck, PAWGs.....

Thank you...I think ya shyt in denver. Yo let these nikkas know what the deal is with these legit downtown spots. Don't post ya building tho! I ain't posting mine

My condo is in a building

And my shyt is amazing.

15 foot ceilings

Exposed brick

Hardwood floors

Private parking garage

Step your money up

You kno was good. These nikkas ain't cashin out. These nikkas are the type that be arguing with the landlord over the rent and be getting notices left and right. I stay having 6 months of rent money ready to go at ANYTIME. These nikkas left their mama house too early.

lmaoo this thread is pure comedy..


I'm in a 6 floor brand new building.. I HEAR NOBODY. yall bum ass nikkas must be in old style buildings wit no lifts n shyt

I've never seen my neighbor to the left and I've seen my neighbour to the right once.. its lowkey.

I'm the only nikka in the complex so I stick to myself... the only other black guy is some african nikka wit a becky- but he doesn't even look me in the eye when I pass him in the lobby


I smoke weed on my balcony and nobody says shyt.. apartment living is good if you a single nikka in your 20s. my shyts more like a halfway house for tinder n stripper hoes

Living in a place with a lot of insects is probably the only thing to be wary of, I chose to live upstairs so I didn't have to deal with stomping.

Apartment life is nice, if you're single.

When I lived in West Chicago, my neighbors were Indians. I’m not trying to be racist, but under no circumstances do you want to live next to Indians. Curry permeates all surfaces and walls. You cannot mask the smell. I tried air fresheners, coffee grounds scattered around the house, febreeze, and normal incense. Nothing worked. I eventually found some extremely pungent incense at a smoke shop (which was ironically owned by an Indian), and that worked if I burned it nonstop.

I motherfukking never want to smell curry again. Now I make sure no Indians live anywhere around me.

I’ve also learned that if you pay a premium for an apartment, the walls and ceilings are thicker, and you can’t hear or smell your neighbors at all. It’s worth the extra $500.

lmaoo I lived next to Indians for 6months... the curry smell was crazy but they knew to keep they windows n doors shut


and I love vindaloo anyway, so the smell was aiight

It's weird to me reading this as someone most familiar with New York where most of the buildings were built before the 50s.

I actually like the old buildings though, they look nice, give off that old school NY vibe and can be pretty nice if properly maintained

The buildings built after World War 2 which you see in South Brooklyn and throughout many Queens areas are GOAT to me.

They were built better than the older buildings with larger and nicer apartments. A lot come with balconies and each have a parking garage in the building.

And yes parking is one of the biggest amenities for me and I’d be happy including the payment in my rent.

Depends what country...

 

[Astroslik]

We bragging about paying high prices for “rent” brehs?

As someone who lives in downtown Chicago, shyt ain’t even cool.

Currently waiting for the next mortgage crash to buy

I know most apartments in America have parking spots but in New York most of the ones near the subway don't. I think Philly and DC can be like that too

It’s all about the time frame of when the buildings were built. I think every building in nyc built between the 1950s and 1990s has a parking garage.

The new affordable housing buildings are mixed. Some have no garages and a lot of them do.

I live across the floor from a family from Bengladish and their smell sometimes creep into my apartment smh.

As a Florida native I have no clue what some of the posts in this thread are about and probably never will.

I travel for work a LOT and the biggest issue is with loud neighbors in apartments and/or hotels.
One of these days there will be blood.
At one point I had flashes of me throwing a neighbor off a balcony and just waiting for the police to come.
You better warn these people. I'm like Jules in Pulp Fiction, Superfly TNT, guns of the navarone....

If you’re not in/right out of college apartments are a nightmare. posting high rise condo buildings where most units are owned privately? That ain’t an apartment. I know folks that get suckered in to these new “luxury apartments” spreading like wildfire around Vegas. Within a couple weeks they complain about the noise. You hear everything. And pay thru the nose for it. Trying to be an adult living below a family of 4 crammed in a 2 bedroom apartment and and some 22 year old a$$hole next door who plays edm til 2am so you can’t get a good nights rest while the jackhammers get going at 6am because they are firing in as many new units as they can fit on the vacant lot next to you to fleece a bunch more people out of 1800/month for your high end studio apartment. fukk that

I doubt that is true of Manhattan. I think you see more of that in the outer boroughs in places that were trying to compete with the suburbs during the white flight era.

The postwar buildings are pretty boring looking to me and some of them are just garbage (like the Fedders stuff that's all over many poor neighborhoods). Although some of the towers I do like such as the River Park towers I believe they're called.

I have zero desire to have a balcony (I don't see myself using it for anything besides storing bicycles). If I lived in a centrally located part of NYC I would not have a car. I know some people love their cars even in neighborhoods where they're totally unnecessary but I can do without. I'm not one of those people who hates car users either though, it's one of those different strokes for different folks kind of things. I do wish people would stop buying so many SUVs, though.
