Hey everyone! Is this too good to be true? $1,640 in the East Village. I known it’s a den but still that price seems very low for NYC. Saw it on a Facebook group, so I am afraid of being scammed

Sounds about right for what’s essentially of a living room with a wall being used as a bedroom. Also 10x12 once you put a closet,bed and desk in is tiny.

That’s not considered tiny in Manhattan. Normal size.

My roommate’s room is 10’x12’ and he fit his full sized bed, desk, and drawers in okay. Room doesn’t feel that cramped. His closet is outside of his room which looks like yours would be too if one of the CL is accessible to you.

It’s a living room in a 1 bed with a fake wall at Stuy Town. $1650 for a room is normal pricing and it’s common to do in that building. Management provides that option.

No - that price is totally within what’s expected. Whenever you share a bedroom, paying around $1400 - $2000 is roughly what you should be expecting.

You going to take it?

You just have to go with your gut feeling. This looks very reasonable to me - enough to set up time with her to meet/ see the place.

Lol I wouldn’t say “too good to be true” or a scam, still extremely expensive to share with a roommate and having a semi-smallish bedroom. But with the prices the way that they are right now, you’re paying on the lighter end of the spectrum. I’d message and go see the place first.

Highly Technical Market Sell-Off - Though, it has picked up over lunch and I suspect that short term turn is in near. Old floortrader told me once, never trust a market that is making new session highs or lows during lunch. That's not normal. This might not be a normal day; but we do need to rebound to get another opportunity into the short trend. So, count on it. The last draw is more suspect as it hasn't been proven to exist yet. So, we will see how we look when we trade 9855.75 on NQ.
