This Summer I'm working at CitiBank at 388 Greenwich St. I applied to the Greenwich Hotel Dorms at NYU but didn't get a spot. Any advice on other places to live for the summer close to Citi? Thanks!

Sublet in the financial district.
Theres summer student housing on John St. I think it's called EHS. Will literally be about 10 mins door to door, 2 stops on the subway. Or like a 15 min walk.
Pace University is also right by.
Soho is convenient. Search Craigslist for cheap sublets. Some really good finds.

Where do Citi Analysts Live? (Originally Posted: 01/29/2007)
I accepted an offer at Citi IBD, and I was wondering where most of the current Citi analysts live, or where future Citi analysts were thinking of living. Tribeca is really expensive, so I was looking into the Fin Dist or maybe Battery Park, b/c it's pretty cheap and sort of close to the office. A lot of people say the Financial District doesn't have a nightlife. But does it really make a difference when you'll be spending most nights at the office anyway? Any thoughts?
FiDi and Battery
I'm in the same position gqbanker, not looking forward to spending $2500/month on a place in tribeca but I don't want to be too far from the office. I'm not very familiar with the city, but what about chinatown or even little italy? They look to be as close to greenwich as financial district...
You can't live in chinatown or little italy. Live in Financial District or Midtown West. Problem with Financial district (mentioned this to a friend who is starting at Citi next year) is that you're going to end up taking a cab to work everyday b/c subway from financial district to tribecca doesn't exist (too close and sort of cross town.
1 train runs to franklin st which is 3 blocks from 388 greenwich. Other than this closest subway is 2/3, stopping at chambers and church, which is somewhee b/w 8-12 blocks.
You can walk to 388 from upper FiDi/Battery Park.
I've known folks who live in Chinatown or Little Italy as analysts. It's cheaper than the financial district, but apartments are few and far between.
Where to live? Citi Analyst (Originally Posted: 11/30/2010)
New analyst starting at Citi. Where is the best place to live? I was thinking FiDi, Midtown west, west village?
Ideally looking to spend upto $1500 for a decent place. Don't want to spend more than 15-20 minutes commuting.
bump?
lol you didn't mention what city
each of the areas he listed are nyc...hence its clearly nyc......
Should have been fairly obvious from the neighborhoods I listed.
NYC.
Use websites like Corcoran and Citi-habitats to discover beautiful places, and then utilize the 'FT/SA 2011 roommate' threads that abound on this site.
corcoran and Citi habitats suck, fuck brokers. go on craigslist and find shit. i live near columbus circle and lurv it
Honestly, I don't think you going to find anything decent for $1,500/mos in those areas if you plan on living alone. The West Village is the most desirable places to live in the city with vacancy in that area below 1%.
I've spent the past couple of months trying to find a place in the city (I was living at home in NJ before that, and was in no hurry to leave until I found something sweet), and from what I saw it looks like you'll spend anywhere from $1,700-$2,300/ mos for a somewhat decent sized, modern studio. What I did is looked up and researched various mgmt companies to see where their buildings where and what was available, effectively cutting out the broker and saving some decent coin. Craigslist isn't bad, but there are a lot of shaddy characters so be careful with that. Good luck dude.
FiDi is easy and convenient. Most of the big apartment buildings down there work directly w/ tenants, so the broker is cut out. Rent can be cheap, especially if you throw up a wall to utilize the "flex" option and you have quic k access to the important trains.
It can blow not living in a real "neighborhood" and not being close to an area you want to go out in, but given the hours of the job, probably not a game breaker.
For Citi specifically, I have multiple friends at the bank who live in this area. Commute to work is under 20 minutes and is walkable. All in, if you are price conscious and don't want to bust your ass looking for something, I think its a solid move for your first year in the city.
Citi housing help! (Originally Posted: 03/31/2015)
Hi, I am an incoming Citi FT 1st yr analyst trying to get a place in Manhattan. Since I do not have any background living in NYC before, I need your help. (I already searched through the site for several times, but could not find the good answer due to search function recognizes Citi as city, yielding many of unrelated results). I am looking for a studio or 1bed without roommate under $2000. I am willing to commute if it takes reasonable time, lets say 15-20mins. Which location should I take a look at? Thank you in advance for your help!
Zenly.com is a great place to go to look at what apartments in each neighborhood will cost/what size you can expect them to be/quality of apartments. I suggest you flip around and see exactly what $2000 a month will get you before you commit to spending that little.
$2000 a month will be VERY hard pressed to get you anything south of 100th (20-30 minute commute to Citi in FiDi). Even then, your apartment will be pretty shitty and basically just be a room with a kitchen nestled into a wall.
My advice: suck it up and live with 2 other guys in your analyst class or at a different bank for $1800-2000 a month each. Both you and your roommates will be out of the apartment pretty much all day anyways, but the difference is a 3br/2ba for $5500-$6000 is WAY nicer than a studio you're going to get for $1800-2000. Plus the 3br is going to be in a much more convenient part of town for you, you can definitely get a cool place in FiDi or EV for that price.
So same price for better location, nicer place, opportunity to have buds to chat with and keep you from getting too depressed from all your work when you go home. When you get your 1st year bonus and meet a cute girl you want to move in with, then you split a 1br for $3500 and get a sweet place.
What ^^ s/he said. Studio/1 bedroom is def a no go if you want to live near the office and only want to spend around 2000. I have seen VERY FEW studios go for around 2000 in the LES and alphabet city but they were very run down. Best bet would be to find a roommate or 2 and you can probably get a place within 10-15 min commute.
Thank you for your replies guys
look at Chinatown
Brooklyn Heights is only a 15-20min commute and will probably be less expensive
Citi S&T Intern looking for housing (Originally Posted: 02/20/2013)
Title says it all. I got an offer from Citi in their S&T division this summer and am now in the process of searching for housing. If anyone wants to potentially be roommates, please let me know.
Thank You
I'm looking to live with an S&T intern over the summer. I was really hoping for someone from barcap or CSFB though. I'll let you know if I can't find a better option.
anyone else?
