Summer Housing - Goldman Sachs

For a summer internship at Goldman Sachs' 200 West St office, here are some housing recommendations based on the most helpful WSO content:

1. Neighborhoods Close to 200 West St:

   • Battery Park City: This area is very popular for its proximity to the Financial District (FiDi) and offers a quieter, residential vibe. It's ideal for a short commute to Goldman Sachs.
   • FiDi (Financial District): Another excellent option, as it's close to the office and has a mix of residential and commercial spaces. FiDi is known for being quieter during the evenings and weekends.

2. Subleasing Options:

   • Luxury Living Suites: A sublease opportunity was mentioned in a previous WSO thread, offering summer housing options. You can explore platforms like this for short-term rentals.
   • Airbnb or Sublets: Many interns opt for Airbnb or sublets in neighborhoods like Battery Park City or FiDi. These can be cost-effective and flexible for summer stays.

3. Other Considerations:

   • Murray Hill/Gramercy: While slightly farther (around 20-30 minutes commute), these areas are popular among young professionals and interns. They offer vibrant nightlife and a social atmosphere.
   • Long Island City (LIC): Located in Queens, LIC is just 1-2 train stops from Manhattan. It’s a more affordable option with easy access to midtown and downtown.

For subleasing, you can check platforms like Craigslist, Facebook housing groups, or specific intern housing forums. Additionally, networking with other interns or colleagues at Goldman Sachs might help you find shared housing opportunities.
