Living in an $1,850 a Month Loft in Yonkers, NY

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.
