This room is in a community house by Union Square in Manhattan. 26 residents live here in a 5-story brownstone, we have a chef who makes dinner Sunday to Thursday, we have lots of shared indoor & outdoor spaces, and the house has two live-in managers.

The room is in the back of the house on the third floor. It has two windows, a bed (single), a desk, a closet, and a sink. My floor has 7 residents who share two bathrooms (one with shower, one with a tub), though there are more bathrooms on other floors which can be used too.

Current residents of the house range in age from 20’s to 60’s. The residents span a wide variety of professions, studentships, ages, ethnicities, religions, etc. The house is LGBTQ friendly. Joining communal dinner is encouraged but not required.

I have been living in this residence for about six years now and I think it is a unique and special place! I think spending a month here would be a fascinating experience for anybody interested in communal living. Also, the location is exceptional if you want to explore NYC.

You will need to fill out an application and attend an interview (in person or virtually). Upon acceptance, you will be asked to pay the one month rent to secure the room. Upon arrival, you will need to sign our House Manual.

The rent is $1,856 for the month and includes everything (including food).

Note there is no alcohol allowed in public spaces, and smoking/vaping is not allowed anywhere in the house. Note the building does not have an elevator.
