Whether you’re in the city for a few months of work, a semester-long internship, or just figuring out your next move, finding short-term housing in NYC is… not for the faint of heart.
Traditional leases are long. Sublets are hit-or-miss. And let’s not even start on the application process.
Enter: month-to-month co-living, your stress-free ticket to short-term city living. With Roomrs, you get all the essentials — furnished spaces, flexible leases, great neighborhoods — without being tied down. It's like NYC with a trial period (but way comfier).
Think of it as all-inclusive living with a flexible schedule. You rent a fully furnished room in a shared apartment, enjoy built-in amenities, and commit only as long as you need. Three month? Great. Six? Even better. No long-term lease. No guesswork. No Craigslist roulette.
At Roomrs, we’ve built our co-living model to support short-term stays that feel just as stable and secure as year-long ones.
Let’s break it down:
If your timeline is flexible, evolving, or a little TBD, month-to-month living gives you the breathing room to figure it out.
Not all co-living is created equal. Here’s why Roomrs stands out for short-term stays:
Each apartment is fully furnished and move-in ready. No IKEA trips. No moving trucks. Just bring your suitcase (and maybe a plant).
Rent, Wi-Fi, utilities, furniture, and even cleaning of shared spaces — it's all bundled into one payment. No surprise bills or late-night Venmo arguments with roommates.
Our properties are located in some of the city's most accessible and exciting areas — Williamsburg, Crown Heights, East Village, and beyond. Easy commutes, endless dining options, and everything you need within a few blocks.
Stay a little. Stay a while. Change your mind. We won’t hold it against you. Our leases are designed for the “I’ll know when I know” crowd.
Let’s face it — traditional leases just aren’t built for flexibility. Most require a 12-month minimum, a hefty deposit, and competitive application processes. That doesn’t work when your life is moving at startup speed.
Month-to-month co-living takes the pressure off. You’re not locked in, and you're not scrambling to find furniture or subletters. It’s the perfect setup for anyone looking to live in NYC for a short stint — without getting stuck in red tape.
We hear this a lot: “I came for the flexibility, but stayed for the vibe.”
Co-living gives you a built-in community. A chance to meet new people. A home that doesn’t feel like a temporary pit stop. And at Roomrs, we’ve put a lot of thought into designing spaces that are not just livable — but lovable.
Need your own space? You’ve got it. Want to cook dinner with roommates? Go for it. It’s your stay, your way.
At the end of the day, you want a place that makes your life easier, not more complicated. Month-to-month co-living lets you enjoy everything NYC has to offer — career opportunities, culture, late-night dumplings — without stressing over housing logistics.
If you’re planning a short-term stay in the city, there’s a reason Roomrs Month-to-Month Co-Living in NYC is one of the best-kept secrets in the rental game.
