Face it, just because you want to live in an Upper East Side Apartment, doesn’t mean that you can always afford to do so. The best thing to do is to start looking for the apartment you can afford on a budget. In New York, that is almost impossible to do. However, if you follow a few tips you should be able to find an inexpensive upper East Side apartment to suit even your most discriminating needs.
Always Make Direct Contact
The best thing to do is contact an apartment complex that has an office on site. You are going to pay a ton in brokers fees if you go through a real estate agent to help you find the right apartment that you can afford on a budget.
Look at the Bigger Apartment Buildings
A great way to find an apartment is to look at the bigger apartment buildings. Many times they will need to fill units and may be willing to rent at a more affordable price. Some of them even have moved in specials that can help you get settled and still have at least a little money left in your pocket. If you are looking for an affordable apartment that is still nice, this is one option that might work for you.
Wait Until the Winter
Very few people want to move during the winter months, so many apartment complexes are willing to give discounts in order to get people moved in during the months when most people just want to stay inside and not come out until spring.
Choose Amenities Wisely
While you may think it is totally awesome to have an apartment with a fitness center and an indoor pool, if you are on a budget then it might not be in the cards for you. These amenities have to be paid for and it is added into the money that you pay each month. Choose only the amenities that you can afford and hope to do better when you are making more money and able to afford it.
These are just a few tips to help you find an apartment in New York when you have to work with a budget. From moving in the winter to choosing your amenities wisely, you can find an inexpensive apartment if you are willing to sacrifice just a little.
