$2000 furnished 250 ft 5th fl w/u at 400 West 40th

1. 275 square feet isn't large enough for a dog let alone a human AND a dog.
2. There's nothing much else to say.

NYCMatt:

Your bark is worse that the bite of your wit. I once rented an apartment only 25-35 feet
larger to a married couple with a teenage daughter. The average apartment in Tokyo is only
160 sq.ft. so mine is a behemoth by comparison.

And if I furnish it with milk cartons, what reasonable person wouldn't jump at the chance to
pay $3000/month for the apartment.

OMG. NYCMatt and I are in 100% agreement (on this topic--not tips). Honestly: 250 sq/ft for $2000. Wow.

AND its opposite Port Authority?! Are you kidding me? I'm so depressed just thinking about this.

According to TokyoToday.com, the size of the average Tokyo apartment is 750 square feet. I have NO idea where you came up with 160 square feet (ok, maybe I DO, but I'm too polite to say).

Actually, I think maybe I do know where you got confused. They measure area in terms of square METERS, not feet. 160 square meters is 524 square feet. Still not quite 750, but at least in the ballpark of something livable.

160 square meters is about 1,800sf. Are you people competing for most misinformed poster of 2010?

rb345,

Simply place an add with photos on craigslist and see how many responses you get. If you get more than 10 replies for an appointment then its clearly the market rate.

Flmaoz. Who the fk do you think you are kidding nicercatch? Flmaoz. All trolled out? What a Fking joke.

Nyc re is getting fked with a triple headed dildo, and some way some how your livelihood depends on the bubble, so fk u, u little imbecile. And all the other who suckled on the nipple of nyc re. It's all bloody and dried out. Go suckle somewhere else, the days of easy money is gone. Fight for your nutz, cause there be plenty of squirrels.

Nicercatch:

Thank you for your kind remarks about the 40th Street apartment but it's not mine. I posted
to ask whether its asking rent was realistic given its location behind the bus terminal.

My apartment is at least 10% larger and located in a much better area, and NYCMatt notwith-
standing, is large enough to accommodate a nuclear family + four large 100+ lb. dogs as long
as the nuclears dont mind sleeping in the bathtub.

That much said, I will probably list it for $1850-1999 when it becomes available, with the tag
line "21st Century Apartment at 20th Century Price".

Ok.I own some rentals in the area. What I get (last one 2 weeks ago) is $1800 for 450sq ft. walk up, soso building, nice apt. It went in 2 weeks. market much better than say a year ago. However at 40 th street you may or may not know that there is a homeless place under the bridge wher they serve food. Lots of weird people there at night.
So to answer your comments: I think the price is wrong.(if the sqft is right).
Sorry for the jokes above, it was too tempting (I have limited patience for retards)

I'd rather jump into the Hudson than live right across the street from the POrt AUthority. First, it's noisey. ANd at night, there are TONS of homless people. Go a bit further uptown and it's a better area.

now.socialist.you're pushing it. pretty soon we'll talk brooklyn.let's stay civilized here.

Flmaoz. Nicercatch. You 'own' or rent on 40th and 11th? Either way, way to making a living...... Good on you. Flmaoz

I'm with socialist. I'd rather live 6feet in the east river......... Flmaoz.

Nicercath:

Thank you for implying that I'm a retard. That assessment is much more flattering than those I usually
receive from people who have personally met me in the off-line world/

My apartment is in a pre-war doorman building on a theater block. Unfortunatey, due to Bloomberg's abi-
lity to afford higher quality consumer disposables, there are no more streetwalkers providing comfort
and spiritual uplift for single male tenants.

Notwithstanding that loss, the block is still very nice and so I will price at $1850-$1999, possibly more
if the market continues to improve.

nicercatch for whom??

nicer than courtney love maybe??

maybe not??

"160 square meters is about 1,800sf. Are you people competing for most misinformed poster of 2010?"

Try again.

160 square meters = 524.9 square feet.

How are you coming up with 524.9 square feet?

Lots of contenders.

It's 1722 ft²

1 meter = 39.3700787 inches

39.3700787² = 1550 in²

(1550/144)*160 = 1722

Hahaha! NYCMatt was trying to convert linear feet into linear meters and call it square meters!

Another reason to fear the U.S. educational system. Just ball-parking will tell you that 160 sq m <> 525.9 sqft feet. Approx. 3 feet/m so squared would be 9ish, 10ish squarefeet /meter squared. So multiply by around 10 to convert sq. m to 525 sq. feet.

Dejavu - wasn't dear Matt an expert on washing machines?

I'm just picking on Matt because I'm jealous of his 0.25% maintenance increase. Seriously.

Though come to think of it, they might want to run those budget numbers again.
