The Math for These Dates
The middle price on this page is $2,250 a month. June 1 to August 15, 2027 is 75 nights, which comes to $5,548 in rent, because rent here is charged by the night (the monthly price times 12, divided by 365). Renters pay no fee to Sublet Buddy on top of that.
The Three Usual Options
People coming to New York for a summer internship usually weigh three things: university summer housing, which is convenient but priced per week and often shared; a hotel or extended-stay room, which costs the most; and a sublet, which is a regular apartment or room for the weeks you need. A sublet is usually furnished, comes with a kitchen, and lets you choose the neighborhood.
Where to Live
Start from your office. Most internships are in Midtown, the Financial District or Hudson Yards. You do not need to live next door: much of Manhattan, western Queens and north Brooklyn sit within about half an hour by subway. Use the commute line on each listing as a first filter (it is an estimate from distance, always marked “about”), then check a transit app for the real trip.
Keeping the Cost Down
A private room in a shared apartment costs far less than a place of your own. Looking one or two subway stops farther out lowers the price again. And because rent here is charged by the night, a ten-week internship costs ten weeks, not three full months. Search with your start and end dates to see each total.
Timing
Offer letters go out months ahead, but the students whose rooms you will sublet often post in March through May. Save a search so new matches reach you, and have your dates ready.
Have a place sitting empty for these months?
An empty room is rent paid for nothing. At $2,250 a month, three months away is $6,750. Listing takes a few minutes, you choose the dates and the price, and listers pay a Concierge Fee of 10% of each rent payment (8.5% with a creator code). Get your landlord’s written approval before you sublet.
Questions
Where do summer interns live in NYC?
Many sublet a furnished room or apartment from a student who is away for the summer. Others use university summer housing or extended-stay hotels. A sublet lets you pick the neighborhood and pay only for your weeks.
How early should I look for summer intern housing?
Listings build from March through May as students settle their own plans. Starting to look in early spring gives the widest choice.
What is the shortest stay?
Thirty days. Every listing on Sublet Buddy is a sublet of 30 days or longer.
What do renters pay besides rent?
Renters pay no fee to Sublet Buddy and there are no security deposits. $5 secures an agreed deal and is credited to your first rent payment. Rent is charged every 30 days from move-in and prorated by the night.
