Despite the heart-pounding and legs-burning experience of climbing endless stairs, the content creator is not planning to move out anytime soon. The Lower East Side is among the neighborhoods in New York City where walk-up buildings are common, including the Upper West Side, the East Village, and Chinatown. Most walk-up apartments are five stories tall, but some can go as high as six or seven stories. According to reports from real estate research firm UrbanDigs, over 15 walk-up buildings on the Lower East Side have six or seven stories. These buildings were constructed before 1968, as the city’s Department of Construction requires buildings with five stories or more to have an elevator. Despite the physical challenges of climbing endless stairs, the designer has no plans to relocate. “We were just meant to be at LES,” Haley, a recent college graduate, humorously noted in the caption.
