Caroline Walker, a real estate agent and influencer, shared essential tips on what potential renters should inquire about when looking for Manhattan apartments. In a viral TikTok video, she emphasized overlooked aspects like garbage chutes, dishwashers, and pest control signs in entryways. Walker also cautioned against feeling pressured to live in trendy areas like the West Village, where high rents may not justify the living conditions, urging viewers to prioritize practical needs over hype.
"No. 1, do you have a garbage chute on your floor? If not, you're going to have to carry your garbage down the stairs and down to the basement."
"Do not move into the West Village because you feel like you have to. I know people living in borderline squalor to live in the West Village, paying absurd amounts of money and you have to have roommates still."
