I live in a closet-size 80-square-foot NYC apartment: See inside | New York Post

Tiny houses may be chic elsewhere, but in New York they’re generally just considered a good deal.

This city slicker calls a closet-sized space home, but she’s customized it to feel a lot bigger than it is.

“I’m basically living in an RV or van without wheels,” said personal trainer Nikki in the latest home profile by creator and self-proclaimed “MTV Cribs” of his generation, Caleb Simpson.

“I can almost lay down the entire apartment,” Simpson commented of Nikki’s micro unit — which measures in at a tiny 80 square feet — in a video captioned “Minimalist life style unlocked!” that has accrued 53,000-plus likes since being uploaded. Nikki’s neighborhood is not specified, and only referred to as being in the “heart of Manhattan.” Her rent for the itty-bitty abode somewhere in the city? An even $1,750 a month.

I mean, that's cool for her. I'll take my 3-car garage, gym, office, big bedrooms, a backyard, etc etc, for about $400 more per month. Oh, and equity in the property.

That’s the nicest prison cell I’ve ever seen

For $1750 you can rent an 1, 800 square foot house with a yard about 40 minutes outside of Raleigh/Durham NC.

That's more than my mortgage my house is about 20 of hers.

[louzer]

Only in NY city you can pay $1750 a month to move into a glorified closet.
It's almost like paying to go to jail.

80² feet for a living space... No thank you. I'd rather have a 1, 000² ft. mini-home than that micro apartment unit.

[atomaweapon]

why in god's name would you live in one of the worst cities in the world, and then barely able to move in your own home and pay twice what i pay for two mortages, one in florida and one in La. insane

[mke]

It doesn't looks like 80sq ft. Looks at least like 100

Why do people live in NYC when they have to live like that?

[joeltb]

We saw the toilet but where's the shower?

[curiousdog]

So this girl pays $210, 000 a year for a 80 sq apt.
I bought a 2000 sq 5 bdrm condo duplex and i paid $157, 000

[taubabo]

Yup... live in the pod, eat the bugs, own nothing, and you'll like it. No thanks, I'll take my house out in the boonies, own whatever I want and eat whatever I want. I can't believe you people even think $1, 750 for a closet is even reasonable.

[whataboutvegas]

How small can you go? I'm waiting to see a 10sq ft apt in NY city. How much would that rent for? $400/mo.?

[jacobdaubenspeck]

You can buy a house for 1200 a month. Don't over pay for cramped space.

[thatnthese]

this is what being priced out of living in an area looks like, that space should be no more than 600 dollars

[pcgameboy]

So happy i live in a Red state.. Oklahoma we have a 2 bedroomn apartment with plenty of room.. Decent sized living room, and alright bathroom for $880 a month, Though was $720 when we first got it, but inflation, and such has made it go up.

[fainepeony]

Wait people consider this space the size of a closet? That’s the size of a decent bedroom….

[tungengasche]

My house is equal to 50 of those. I think every room in the house is bigger than that apartment including the bathrooms and closets. My cats' playroom is equal to 7 of those apartments and has a 16 foot ceiling. I have parking for 6 cars indoors and like 12 outdoors. My front yard is the size of a football field and so is my back yard. And these are the people who look down on rural hicks like me. Seriously.
