Arpit Ahluwalia, 26, rented an apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York, just a few meters away from a subway platform. The man pays $4,000 a month for rent.
A 26-year-old man named Arpit Ahluwalia pays $4,000 a month to live in an apartment just 1.5 meters away from a subway platform in New York City.
Located in the Brooklyn area, the building was designed to muffle the extreme sounds of the train, according to Ahluwalia, who shares the apartment with two roommates. They consider the train noises as “ambient sounds.”
“I never open my windows. I feel like if I open the windows, I could walk straight to the tracks,” he said.

The subway platform barriers are just over 1.5 meters from the building, and the trains are 3 meters away from Ahluwalia’s apartment.
A video shared on Instagram shows the inside of the residence, leaving many users shocked by the reality.
“He’s trying to sell the idea of having a train right next to your window as if it’s something good,” commented one incredulous user.
“$4,000 to hear a train all day and night long, count me out,” said another.
