Your dream neighborhood in Hells Kitchen

What comes to your mind when you think of this name? The streets engulfed in flames? Or Gordon Ramsey breaking into your house when you put milk before cereal? Despite the pretty tense calling, this does not scare people away from the area. Being a residence for poor Irish immigrants at its beginning Hell’s Kitchen grew into one of the best neighborhoods in town, and why? This will be explained a bit later. We will also touch upon the topic of where to find affordable Hell’s Kitchen apartments, the pros and cons of living there, and places you might visit.

It is possible to find Hell’s Kitchen rentals, but before that let’s figure out whether it is worth it.

Hell’s Kitchen is situated west of Midtown Manhattan. Hell’s Kitchen has borders with the Upper West Side on the north, Midtown and the Garment District on the east, Chelsea on the south and the Hudson River on the west.

Ninth and Tenth Avenues run through the entire Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. There are more than 100 restaurants with all types of cuisine from every corner of the world. Hell’s Kitchen is also a place where a lot of celebrities have their apartments. For instance like Mekhi Phifer, Carmello, Anthonym Derek Stepan, and Mary J. Blige.

Let’s talk more in detail about the pros and cons you might find in Hell’s Kitchen.

The advantages of Hell’s Kitchen:

• plethora of places to take your family or rest after work: bars, restaurants, parks, and so on;
• by choosing any apartment, you will always be in close proximity to schools, hospitals and all the needed facilities;
• bearable price for rent apartments compared to other regions of New York of the same quality.

The disadvantages of Hell’s Kitchen:

• Not suitable for those who seek a quiet life. Plenty of tourists as well as other residents like to take a walk among the industrial-looking apartments of Hell’s Kitchen. The neighborhood’s 24\7 hustle might get on your nerves.
• Some people recall that 42nd and 9th Ave is their least favorite part of the neighborhood. It is too dirty and at night you may encounter not so good people. So, do not choose an apartment there.

If you don’t like all that hustle and bustle, there’s one option for you. Check out the Gramercy neighborhood. It’s located in Midtown, one of the best parts of NY. It’s a rather small neighborhood with many parks and walkable areas. A wise choice for people who value personal space in big cities. But unfortunately you won’t have any picturesque views of the Hudson river.

And this neighborhood is also located far from Hell’s Kitchen. So if you work in that area — it will take some time to get there. Think of it all in advance.

Of course, you can not decide whether it is suitable to find apartments there by reading just one article, so we do recommend you to conduct some research. Ask people on forums, read more about the Hell’s Kitchen apartments, and see whether this information is reliable.

There’s plenty of entertainment for everyone:

• Sea, Air, and Space Museum — an aircraft museum with exhibits from World War II and the Vietnam War.
• Irish Arts Center — Irish culture: performances, paintings, sculptures, and music stored in one place. It is pretty logical to find an Irish museum considering the neighborhood’s history. The Irish contributed a lot to American culture.
• Hudson River Park — great green space where people like to jog, walk around or sit on a bench with a cup of tea. Best place to get fresh air, rent a bike or enjoy the view of the New York apartments.
• Landmark Tavern — one of the oldest bars not only in Hell’s Kitchen, but in New York opened in 1868 bears a mysterious urban legend. Locals say there is a spirit of a Confederate soldier guarding the tavern. But besides the mystics, it is a great place to visit with your friends and have a pint of beer or any other beverage. You will enjoy their cuisine as well as their beverages.
• Kahve — if you are a coffee lover you may like this Turkish cafe. They serve both Colombian and Turkish coffee and other coffee beverages. It can be the right opponent to Starbucks with the right amount of advertisement.

Near Hell’s Kitchen, you can also take a walk to the famous Times Square, and enjoy the Broadway Show and Museum of modern art. Of course, this list is not complete and you may find a lot more attractions in real life.

All options for commuting are available. All of them are close to you, no matter the apartment you choose. You can get here by:

• Bus: M11,M34A-SBS,M42;
• Train: HUDSON, PATH, PORT JEFFERSON BRANCH, PORT WASHINGTON BRANCH;
• Subway: 2, 3, 7X, A, E, Q, W.

It is also possible to take a walk through the neighborhood, if you wish. There are plenty of attractions and photoshoot ideas for places you might encounter by walking from your rental apartment.

The Outpost Club — where quality meets fair price

It is common thing for the USA landlords to make their rent high enough so you will be working only to stay at your rental apartment. Especially for Hell’s Kitchen apartments. Also, you will be obliged to pay for more than a month ahead, and there is almost no chance to get your money back if you change your mind. Things are different with Outpost Club:

• you can rent a room for a day or several years, it does not matter;
• all the rooms in no matter what kind of a house or an apartment you choose are fully furnished — needless to say, for the less price you will live in a fashionable designer interior with all needed utilities;
• yes, you won’t have to bring all the kitchen supplies, toilet paper or even your favorite cup if you do not have the opportunity to do so — all this is provided by the company and is already in the apartment;
• your belongings as well as you will be fully protected all day and night long by our Nest system;
• you won’t even have to touch bills paperwork or clean your apartment — this is also the responsibility of the Outpost Club team.

But if it is so perfect, then why sell it cheap? The answer is coliving.

What is coliving or communal living? It is all simple. You live together with other people in one big house or apartment. They are called shared living spaces. You can have your own private bedroom in Hell’s Kitchen with the needed extensions as a fridge or a bathroom and share some common rooms with your neighbors. If you want to, you can share your private bedroom in the apartment with other people too. The common room in the apartment can be the kitchen or the living room. It will be a place where all the tenants gather together in the apartment to play some table games, chat, celebrate, party, and so on. It is a great opportunity to get to know the city by asking people who already live there. If you have some problems getting from place A to place B, then it is easier to ask somebody from the apartment to show you. That is how you won’t stay alone in a big unknown city. It is also a possibility to make new friends. This option may be not suitable for those who prefer to live on their own and do not expect to see people walking into your apartment after work. It may be also difficult then to share your kitchen supplies or shower. If you are this type of person, we suggest you look for a private rental apartment. Your comfort is more important than money.

If you change your mind and want to look for an apartment somewhere besides Hell’s Kitchen, then you can look at the other rooms in New York City available on the Outpost Club website. We have apartments and homes available all across the US. Check out website and see the price list for the apartment that caught your attention.
