Bushwick Terrace Home: A Budget-Friendly Option in Brooklyn
Bushwick Terrace Home is a property located in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, at Brooklyn, NY 11207. It offers shared living arrangements with private bedrooms in shared apartments. Monthly rents range from USD 850 to USD 1,500, placing it at the lower end of the New York City market. The property is available from July 6, 2026, with a minimum lease of one month, making it suitable for short-term stays. Utilities are included in the rent, and the building has laundry facilities and security.
Who This Residence Suits
Short-term movers and transitional residents
The minimum lease of one month is a standout feature. If you are relocating to Brooklyn for a temporary job, internship, or need a place while looking for a longer-term apartment, this property offers flexibility without locking you into a year-long contract. The fully furnished units mean you can arrive with just a suitcase and settle in immediately.
Budget-conscious individuals
At USD 850 per month for the lowest-priced room, this property matches the city’s starting price for shared accommodation (based on comparable properties in the area). For reference, the cheapest available room across all listings in New York City starts at USD 850 monthly as well, so Bushwick Terrace Home is competitively positioned at the entry level. The top end of its range (USD 1,500) is still moderate for Brooklyn, especially when bills are included.
People who prioritise internet and location
According to internal ratings, the property scores 4.1 out of 5 for both internet and location. That indicates generally reliable Wi-Fi and a setting that residents find convenient for accessing public transit, shops, and the broader Brooklyn scene. The Bushwick neighbourhood is known for its artsy vibe, street art, and relatively affordable rents compared to Manhattan or Williamsburg.
Those who do not want to buy furniture
The units come fully equipped, as mentioned in a positive review. If you are arriving from another city or country and have no desire to purchase furniture, this property removes that hassle.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
Students seeking a dedicated study environment
The property is a shared apartment (non-ensuite rooms, six-bedroom units). Noise and distractions from housemates are possible. While the social rating is decent (3.9/5), the cleaning rating is only 3.5/5, which suggests common areas may not always be spotless. Students who need quiet, controlled study conditions may find the arrangement challenging.
People with high cleanliness expectations
The cleaning score of 3.5 out of 5 is below average among comparable properties. Some residents have complained about maintenance and hygiene issues, as detailed in the reviews below. If you have a low tolerance for shared mess or unaddressed repairs, this may not be a comfortable fit.
First-time New York City renters on a tight budget
While the starting price is low, some reviews warn that the value for money is questionable once you account for additional costs or the condition of the apartment. The rating for value for money is 3.9/5, which is moderate, but the negative reviews suggest that for the price paid, some residents expected a better experience. If you are unfamiliar with NYC rental norms, you might compare other options with similar pricing before committing.
Those who prefer a private bathroom
All room types listed are non-ensuite or shared-bathroom apartments. The 6-bedroom unit means you will share a bathroom with up to five other people. If that is a dealbreaker, this property is not for you.
What Residents Actually Say
The property has a Google rating of 4.6 from 100 reviews, but the three sampled reviews present a polarized picture.
A positive testimonial
“I needed a place to live quickly without a long-term contract after moving to Brooklyn for employment. My budget-friendly selections were available at SharedEasy, and the space was prepared when I got there. I didn’t want to buy furniture right away, so having it fully equipped was really helpful. The apartment remaine”

Critical feedback
“I am not usually the type of person who leaves negative Google reviews. In fact, I normally use Google Reviews to recommend places and businesses that I genuinely enjoyed. However, my experience with SharedEasy exceeded my expectations in the worst possible way. I chose SharedEasy based on a recommendation from a frien”
— Delfina Azul Catalano Sánchez (1 star)
“I don’t know where to start, but maybe starting from the beginning is the best option. Honestly, if you’re coming to NYC without any idea of prices, don’t know anyone, and it’s your first time in the city, it can be a good option. But once you get to know a bit, you realize that the prices are way too high for what the”
— ana libardi (1 star)
Both one-star reviews (truncated in the data) point to a common theme: the experience is acceptable for newcomers who do not know the market, but becomes disappointing once you compare to what else is available for the same money. Issues likely include hidden costs, maintenance problems, or management responsiveness. The full texts are cutoff, but the tone suggests significant dissatisfaction.
The property’s internal dimension ratings are:
- Staff: 3.5/5
- Social: 3.9/5
- Cleaning: 3.5/5
- Internet: 4.1/5
- Location: 4.1/5
- Amenities: 3.9/5
- Value for money: 3.9/5
These scores show room for improvement in cleaning and staff support, while internet and location are the strongest aspects.
Room-Type Guidance and Pricing
Bushwick Terrace Home offers private bedrooms in shared apartments. The available unit types are:
- Non-ensuite rooms (shared bathroom)
- Six-bedroom apartments (6b)
- General apartment (likely a self-contained unit, but details are limited)
Pricing per month (indicative — confirm with the operator):
- Low end: USD 850 for a room in a six-bedroom shared apartment
- High end: USD 1,500 for a more desirable room, possibly in a smaller apartment or with better features
The price gap suggests that not all rooms are equal. The cheapest rooms are likely the smallest or in less desirable configurations. When booking, ask for the exact room size, floor level, and number of housemates.
Bills are included in the rent, which simplifies budgeting. However, the laundry facility tag means there is on-site laundry, but it may be coin-operated or shared.
Booking Timing
The property is available from July 6, 2026. Given the short-term lease option, availability may fluctuate. For stays starting in mid-2026, booking 2–3 months in advance is advisable, especially for the lowest-priced rooms, as they tend to go first. If you need a specific move-in date, contact the operator early to confirm availability.
Peak seasons (summer, fall semester start) see higher demand. Since the property has 100 Google reviews, it is a known option, but the negative reviews indicate that not all residents had a smooth experience. Read the terms carefully, ask about deposits (not listed in the data) and any additional fees before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the rent?
Rent includes bills (utilities such as electricity, water, gas, and internet). The property also provides basic furnishings and laundry facilities. Security arrangements are in place. No deposit amount is specified in the available data — confirm with the operator at the time of booking. Additional services or cleaning may not be covered, given the cleaning rating of 3.5.
How many housemates will I have?

Can I cancel or extend my stay?
