What the topic says. I am moving for work and need to do it quickly. But I haven't been able to have any luck because of the fact that I can't make it to the area before I need to move. The last two times I moved I just rented a place from craigslist from pics but no one seems to want to allow me to do that in the NYC/NJ area.

Any thoughts?

Can anyone working around the Century City area give me some suggestions for apartment buildings? Some of the things I'm looking for are:
-2-3 br, planning on 1 person per bedroom
-10-20 min drive from the office
-around 1-1.2 K per month per person, 1.5 K max

Thanks for the help!

I start my internship in the beginning of June and need a place in NYC for the summer immediately. May only need to really stay 1-2 months (June & July) because I may have a family friend who'll help me after that.

Anyone still looking for roommates? Please PM me with details

I know this topic has probably been discussed at some point but, I need to find a place to live for mid-June. Offices are in mid-town and any advice on where to live, how to go about finding places/roommates is appreciated.

Im moving from London so will have limited time to apartment hunt over the next month or so...

Other than craigslist, what is the best way to be able to find a sublet in NYC?

I will be starting my 2nd year in banking and my roomate is moving out. I have a really nice, high quality place in times square (converted 1 bedroom). Rent got bumped up to $3400, so $1700 a piece. Let me know if interest.

I've been having some trouble finding a place in the City and thought I'd give it a go on WSO. I'm moving up in mid-May to early June after graduation and don't have anything lined up so I'm going on savings for a bit.

I'm looking for something as cheap as possible, preferably under $700, and as close as possible to the City. I'd be willing to commute from anywhere as long as it can get me into the City in under an hour, or even stay in a less than 300 sq ft room.

If you're also moving and are willing to take on the struggle, maybe without work, we could push each other to learn and read more about finance. If you want more details on me, just PM.

I know some of us are relocating to SF this year and are looking for roommates. I don't see a consolidated thread up, so I'll start it.

I'm relocating to SF and starting out as a 1st year IB analyst this summer. Looking to live around SoMa, Marina, or similar areas.

My roommates and I are moving out of a 4 bedroom / 1 bath elevator building in the east village on 13th / 3rd. It's a great location downtown and near a ton of bars and restaurants. The apartment is clean and all the rooms are decent sized and good value for the price and location.

It's a great share for analysts moving into the city if you have a group of friends you know you want to live with or for people on WSO to live together. PM me if you want more details and I can send pics, pricing, etc.

Hey all,

If anyone else is looking for a place in the city for a summer internship feel free to pm me, my office is midtown but i'd be okay with living downtown too.

quick question: what are your thoughts on singles vs doubles?

planning to room in EHS this summer, trying to figure out if it's worth ponying up for a single.

They gave me a group code, so I can either use it and live around a bunch of MS people, or not use it and be placed randomly.

I am a sophomore I will be interning this summer at a top BB, JPM/GS/MS is risk management and have a question about house. I have a friend who I can live with in Hoboken for about 2500 for the whole summer. Should I be looking for housing in the city or is Hoboken okay. The apartment is about 5min from the path.

Anybody have any experience with NYU Law housing options? Specifically D'Agostino Hall???

If not--- does anybody have an apartment downtown they are willing to sublet for this summer in soho, tribecca, battery park, or fidi? late may to mid August would be ideal.

What's the best housings you guys used/stayed in for your SA stints? Needs to be close to Financial District/Market. Interested in an apartment w/ single bedrooms! Thank you

Anybody know about summer housing in the financial district... In particular, any word on:

-EHS 55 John Street?
-New School summer housing?
-NYU Lafayette?
-Other options?

I am working near WTC and looking for housing close to there. Some past threads favor NYU housing but I'm trying to live in FiDi if there are any good options.

Anyone looking for housing and roommate in Charlotte for full-time Summer 2013? If so, shoot me a message

At a BB... I assume training begins late June and early July. If you havent found a place to live by then are you pretty much SOL?

Was looking to find a new place in NYC and wanted to focus my search downtown. Anyone have any thoughts on how negotiable downtown rents are post-Sandy?

I was thinking that alot of apartments downtown that were affected by Sandy has displaced tenants (alot of them disgruntled, with good reason) and whom have found places further north. As a result, does anyone think that decreased apetite for downtown housing (BC of Sandy) coupled with increased vacancy rates will push prices down (downtown) making a more renter friendly market?

Would like to get the POV of some of the monkeys on here...

Anyone know where / what areas bankers in Boston generally live....? FiDi? Is south end / Cambridge commute a hassle? How much is a reasonable rent range in Boston?

I heard that non-local financiers in HK BB receive housing allowance every month in addition to their salary/bonus, but it seems not every bank offers this kind of benefit.

Does anyone know which bank has it for analysts? Is it only to IBD or to all FO functions? and around how much per month?

Thanks

If you are traveling to work at client's site from Mon thru Thurs, what should you do about housing for fri, sat, and sun? The point of this is to save money, obviously. Just like what the other guy said in the other thread, hopefully saving 100k for working only 2 years.

Fri - it really depends on workload. Could either still be working at client's site or home-based office. But most definitely, you will have to come home on friday night and sleep.

Sat - need a place to sleep

Sun - Sun evening, it depends.

A few options I can think of...
#1 - use airbnb - keep rent under $50 per night

#2 - rent an apartment under 1k, lease it to tenants but negotiate with them that you will come back home on weekends and need a space to sleep?

What are you thoughts on living outside of Manhattan. Would it be possible to live in say Queens and commute to Midtown. It is about a 40 minute train ride. Assuming the company pays for your cab rides at night would this be doable for two years?

Has anyone on this board tried this? Would like to know so I can plan accordingly.

Would really like to save some money and pay off my school loans.

By living outside Manhattan I would be saving atleast $500 a month.

I'm renting out a room with full bathroom in my house, which is 1 mile west of Downtown (Washington Ave near Sawyer). 3 story townhouse, 2008 construction, pool/hot tub, connected garage, and walking distance to several bars, and running/biking trails.

I just graduated and will move to San Fran in August to start working full time but I haven't found a place to stay.

If you are looking for a place in San Fran as well or need a roommate, please PM me. Thanks.

I've been developing an idea recently and would like to run it by the WSO community. If it is a very stupid idea, hopefully you will help me fill it with holes.

I'm currently working with mortgages while doing a lot of side reading and thought of this. Is this perfect timing to get into real estate? The current interest rates are pitiful (think 3.5% to 4% fixed) and you can pay to have it reduced further. Furthermore, if we assume that inflation will in fact be realized, then the dollars we use to pay this loan back will be significantly less valuable than they are currently. On top of that, if we assume that the housing market rebounds, we would be increasing our returns even more.

I'm going to be working for a regional BB office (SF, LA, Chicago, etc.), and training lasts through July into early August. So I don't need an apartment until around two months from now, but I would really like to have signed a lease before I leave to NY (or else I'll only have a couple of days to find an apartment and move in when I get back).
