Living in Manhattan can be quite expensive. Sharing an apartment with a roommate is a great way to reduce the amount of money you spend on rent. It is also a comfortable and great way to start off your first year in Manhattan. With friends and peers, you can easily get acclimated to LIFE IN THE CITY.

In sharing an apartment with a roommate you can either find a genuine 2 or 3 bedroom and split the rent, or you can convert your 1 bedroom into a 2 bedroom or 2 bedroom into a 3 bedroom by putting up a pressurized wall. These pressurized walls have become a phenomenon in the city and have helped thousands of people save roughly $800-$1,000 or more per month.

Wall Companies/Pressurized Walls:
The wall companies specializing in these conversions typically range from $1200-$1500 for the duration of a lease. Once tenants vacate their apartment, the wall company will remove the structure. Over a year or two, this investment proves to be well worth it!
