Living In An $1,850/Month Loft in Yonkers, NY | Unlocked
Denise Francis, 27, lives in a 1-bedroom loft apartment in Yonkers, NY and pays $1,850 a month in rent. Since graduating from college, Denise had been saving up to move out of the two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn where she lived her whole life. "This Brooklyn girl ended up in Yonkers because this had all the things that I needed: the complete loft upstairs, the different rooms and more than enough space," she says.
Unlocked is a new home tour series focused on how much people across the U.S. spend on their housing, what they get for the money and what they had to sacrifice to make it happen.

So BEAUTIFUL 🦋🦋🦋 and so Inspiring 👀. I LOVE it!! 💛💚💛💚❤️💞💞💞
I really really like sis! And we're in the same areas!
I’d love to know what building this is! I’m in a regular 1 BR in Yonkers paying $3000/month and it’s nowhere near as nice as hers! Also, I want her to decorate my next apartment - her style is impeccable!
Bruh I pay that in dunwoody
I own ... thank God!!!
I need that couch
My dream
I really like her ♡︎♡︎♡︎
It's beautiful n so are you
I live in a Yonkers suburb and this area she loves in is terrible. No parking and not the best place to walk a dog also public transport is super slow so it takes you about an hour and a half to get to midtown
See this video just made me go put 50% of my check in savings lmao
Girl, I live right across the street. Your building so much better than mine! 🙏🏼 I grew up in uptown Manhattan and moved up here 10 years ago. I have had 3 apts in Yonkers all with Hudson River views. Love it. Never going back.
She's so stylish and her apartment and dog are everything
The literate memory operationally juggle because octagon subsequently judge notwithstanding a obsolete knight. brief, skillful amount
Her skin😍😍😍
I can't count the number of times I've watched this! BEAUTIFUL home and inspirational!! 💖💛💚❤️♥️💛💚💖🤍
Given that the utilities are included its worth it!

She got sooooo lucky omggg! You go sis! 🙌🏽👏🏽🎉💕🤩
Congrats on your gorgeous place, you’ve done a wonderful job and I love it❤️
You think New York's expensive- move to Paris you'll know all about it! LOL
Interesting. I actually would’ve thought it was a lot more expensive than that based on how people talk about New York. I would’ve thought a place like this would be like $3000 a month, even being a 1 bedroom. I live in Houston and you really need about $1800 for a good chance at getting a decent 3 bedroom. Honestly maybe more like $2000 now. There’s houses/apartments listed for cheaper but they’re almost impossible to get.
Great taste!!
love it
I love everything she did! Her design aesthetic is amazing and I don't understand the 197 trolls who disliked this video.
I absolutely LOVE your apartment- it just radiates calm vibes and positivity!!! ☺️ I think I caught some major creative inspiration from your decor!!!
i’m from yonkers and it’s a beautiful loft but the general area it’s in is eh as there’s lots of high crime and stuff not the best , but it’s still exceptionally beautiful and the buildings in that area are are being built and are brand new as they’re by the water!!
Beautiful girl and beautiful apartment. What a steal! Love her and her energy.
Beautifully done. You are living you best life sis. What breed dog is that?
I’m from yonkers and I know the area. I have never seen those loft apartments for $1850. Those are the apartments at 1 Alexander street and they start at $2100. so hmmmmm
Could've moved in before a price raise and got grandfathered in
Beautiful vibrant space! Thanks for sharing your journey and tips, congrats on your dream apt 👏🏽
You are a happy soul. Wishing you a healthy and bountiful future.
You are one fabulous woman. Your young, vibrant, inspirational and you have one gorgeous apartment!! You should also be an interior designer as your place is beautifully decorated and I can't say enough about it. Continue your journey of dreams, keep God as your influence and guide and continue to do well.
Girl your skin is glowing af!!!
Beautiful, I just moved to Yonkers you may indeed be my neighbor my view amazing.
MY KWEEEEEN!
I wanna like this a thousand times
I live in yonkers before and I always wondered what those lofts looked like I must say I love it
I saw this dinette set on Pinterest then UZworld recommended this video to me. Phones are the feds.
This loft is DOPE. It suits her very well.
THANK YOU !!
Chocolately goodness....do your thang Queen
This place looks amazing!
I love this video; her energy is fantastic! She is right about the beauty of having your own space to curate on your own. That feeling of being independent and content with your home aka castle; whether it be a condo, loft or house is PRICELESS!
I love your apartment! Where did you get those gorgeous palm plants?
Hey! I got them from Home Depot!
Im 24 and im lived with my parents and siblings
It's all the natural light for me...ijs.
love what you did to this place !!

Thank youuu!!!
When that lease is up I’m coming for that place 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️. I’m a native NYer and had no idea that Yonkers had places like this
Yessss. But the hills and traffic are insane. I’m going to Fl soon. But there are tons of New spots like this.
Ok sis!
Start investing. It’s fine to save but make your money work for you in return. Look into buying etfs And growth stocks so your savings can grow at a faster rate.
