How to settle in Manhattan for $ 1000 per month

Photo

Almost every day we hear about how difficult and expensive to rent housing in Manhattan. We are frightened by the verification of income, credit history and, at least, the first installment, which is equal to 3 monthly: for the first, the last and the agent.

On personal experience, I learned how to simplify my life. To begin, check whether you fall under the criteria of such a tenant:

• Are you male or female, from 21 to 35 years;
• student or young specialist;
• you plan to live without a family.

If everything fits, move on. Now we will give step by step instructions on finding and renting the housing you need.

How to find accommodation

You drive in a search engine residence for women or residence for menFor example, in New York. It is better to simplify your search by specifying more specifics, namely: residence for women, Manhattan.

Such residence there is in almost every city, but, naturally, there is more choice in megalopolises. Do not let the word “hostel” bother you, because they have nothing in common with the “hostels” in Russia and Ukraine. With the exception of a shared kitchen and shower cubicles, though, by paying $ 200-300 per month, you can rent a spacious room with your own bathroom and toilet.

Now choose the desired location and your future home.

For example, one of the best areas of Manhattan is Upper East Side. Near Central Park, museums, the best restaurants.

The Internet gives out options. And, as a rule, since we entered gender differences in a search engine, we got the option we needed.

Dormitories are divided by gender, but this is done, so to speak, for the general order.

For example, on 72 Street there is St. Mary residence for young women workers or students. Do not be afraid of the Catholic affiliation of this place: no one imposes anything on you, they will not touch you at all on the topic of religion and force you to pray or serve God.

This hostel is positioning itself as a hotel for tourists, only prices differ markedly from the usual.

Renting a room where only you will live costs $ 275 per week for a period from 2 to 11 weeks. The price per week is at least a day in any other hotel.

If you intend to rent a room from 3 months to 4 years (this is the maximum that you can live here), then the price per week is lower by $ 30 and is $ 245.

This price includes accommodation in a separate furnished room with a sink, bed linen (it should be washed by yourself), cleaning once a week, air conditioning, kitchen, laundry and showers on the floor, free internet on the ground floor. Electricity and water bills are also included in this amount. In addition, there is security in the 24 building for hours, and entrance is by pass only. By the way, you can invite guests from 9 in the morning to 11 in the evening: the female gender can go up to your room, and you can only meet men on the first floor.

If we talk about male hostels. In this area, on 88 Street is The kolping house. The historic building is intended for interns and male students between the ages of 21 and 35.

The cost of living in the long-term lease of a separate room is $ 250-260 per week. If you are on a short visit, then $ 70 per day.

The conditions are the same as in the hostel for women. Details can be read on Online.

How to check in

You can find an electronic form on the site, fill it out and send. Or call the specified phone numbers, find out the nuances.

Everything is absolutely standard, no difficulties, given that these houses are designed for students, visitors and young professionals. You need to confirm that you are studying or working, that you can pay for your accommodation (bank statement from your country, a letter from your employer or parent) and are in the country legally.

This is a great opportunity to save money for those who are studying, have just moved from their country, or, as a tourist, do not want to spend money on expensive hotels. It’s even suitable for a married couple: at first you can live separately - in residence for women and residence for men.
