This is what a $1,500 apartment looks like in the USA: Latino causes a stir with his viral tour.

The video has garnered 33,000 likes in two days.


@johnnyenglishcr, a Latino TikToker in the United States, toured an apartment that is available for rent at $1,500 per month and left many surprised by the details.

In the video, the creator explains that this place, near his home in Oregon, seemed interesting to showcase, although he clarified that he is not renting it for himself. Between jokes and comments, he detailed the features of the space, noting that it is a renovated two-bedroom apartment, with a equipped kitchen, carpeted floors, a small balcony, and even a fireplace, which helps him cope with the typical cold of the area.

According to @johnnyenglishcr, this type of apartment is usually comfortable, although he warned that the monthly rent can increase to $1,700 when adding costs for electricity and heating in winter. He also discussed the leasing process in the United States, explaining that it generally requires a security deposit and upfront payment for several months, which can be challenging for those who have just arrived in the country.

The video stirred up quite a reaction among its followers, garnering over 33,000 likes and hundreds of comments. Some users compared prices in other cities across the United States, highlighting the wide range of costs in different states. “I pay $1,400 for a room in New Jersey,” one commented, while another added, “In New York, I pay $1,300 for a room with utilities included.” Others took the opportunity to inquire about the exact condition of the apartment, and several joked about how expensive the "American dream" can be when it comes to housing: “Just imagine, with one job I pay the rent, and with another, I cover the groceries,” commented one user with a tone of resignation.

The comments also included experiences with rentals in other states and countries, with some saying that it's cheaper in their areas. "In South Carolina, I pay $1,400 for a three-bedroom, two-bath house," shared one user. Others took the opportunity to joke about the TikToker's style, especially his striking haircut and the casual way he described details of the apartment, like the carpet or the lack of light in some rooms. "The haircut, bro, makes you look different," wrote someone.

The issue of rental costs in the United States continues to spark debate on social media, and many are eager to see more videos of this kind. Some have asked @johnnyenglishcr to keep showcasing apartments in different states or to compare rental options to provide a broader perspective on what it means to live in the country.
