WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — There is no shortage of mind-boggling apartments in New York City, but one apartment in Washington Heights recently went viral for having a seemingly endless maze of unnecessarily angled walls.
A video posted on TikTok by the real estate account RentNewYork has gotten nearly four million views in the last day. The clip starts with the real estate agent saying, "Tell me you don't know how to make a layout, without telling me you don't know how to make a layout."

"Why have 9 walls when you can have 37!" another commenter said.
"Where's the bathroom? 5th corner on the left, if you get to the room with 10 walls, you've gone too far, make a right and start over," a different comment read.
A long list of people questioned how any sort of furniture could fit into the Washington Heights apartment.
