Off the top of my head, the average Manhattan apartment is probably less than 1,000 sq feet. Ain’t no room for one’s own
washer/dryer...a common basement laundry is standard issue for middle and upper class buildings. It’s NOT like the rest of America. But you all knew that.
Is it true that garbage disposals are illegal in NYC?
While stationed in Germany, I lived on the economy in an apartment. The military provided appliances and certain furnishings. I had a small electic stove, a full size refridgerator (smaller than a standard American appliance) and a stacked washer and drier set.
The only possible issue would be adequate water hookups and drainage. The use of a drier may require an electrical upgrade. That shouldn't be too much trouble, since most major cities sound so gung-ho over setting up charging stations for electic cars.
