What $5,000 Will Get You In NYC

Serena Kerrigan is a 25-year-old producer and on-camera host at Refinery29. After living with her mom in the upper west side for 2 years after she graduated college, she just moved in to her first place of her own in the city on the lower east side. While it’s a bit pricey, she swears it’s worth the price for the city views, insane natural light, ideal location and the fact that her and her roommate/bff each get their own bathroom (and splitting the cost doesn’t hurt, either!)
