E 13th St: a shared apartment in New York’s East Village
E 13th St is a three-bedroom apartment-style residence located in the East Village neighbourhood of Manhattan, New York City. It is operated by a housing provider that specialises in short-term shared housing, with particular focus on summer stays. The property offers a furnished apartment with kitchenware, laundry facilities, and a smart TV. Security is present at the front desk, according to past residents.
The indicative monthly rent is USD 2,350 – 2,400, with a deposit of approximately USD 2,100 (confirm both figures with the operator). The residence is listed as a single unit type – a three-bedroom apartment – meaning residents share the living spaces while each has their own bedroom.
Who is this residence for?
E 13th St suits students or interns who need a short-term, fully managed rental in Manhattan and are comfortable living with two other people in a shared apartment. Based on recent Google reviews (all rated 5/5), the property works well for people spending a summer in New York who want a “safe, new, and in an amazing part of the city” environment, as one reviewer put it.
The location in the East Village puts residents close to many restaurants, subway lines, and bars, and the property is described as “central” by a past guest. If your priority is a hassle-free set-up where the housing provider pairs you with roommates, and you value 24/7 front-desk security, this residence is a strong candidate.
The internal rating dimensions – staff (4.7), location (4.7), cleaning (4.7), internet (4.7), and value for money (4.7) – all score highly, with only amenities (3.5) slightly lower. That suggests the core experience (team, cleanliness, location) is consistent, while the on-site facilities may be limited – which matters less if you plan to spend most of your time out exploring the city.
Who might want to look elsewhere?
This residence is not suitable for students who need a private studio or one-bedroom apartment. The only available unit type is a three-bedroom apartment, so you will have two unrelated flatmates. If you require exclusive use of a kitchen or bathroom, or prefer living alone, this property will not meet those needs.
The indicative rental price – USD 2,350 – 2,400 per month – is well above New York City’s overall from-price of USD 850 (which typically reflects shared rooms or lower-cost outer borough units). Budget-conscious students or those looking for the cheapest possible option in the city should look elsewhere. The rent is also on the higher side for a room in a shared apartment, even for Manhattan.
Additionally, the property is tagged as “not_available” on the listing platform at the time this data was compiled. You should confirm with the operator whether it will be open for bookings in 2026 or 2027. If you need guaranteed availability far in advance, you may need to check other residences.
The amenities rating (3.5 out of 5) suggests that while the basics are covered, there is no gym, pool, or common lounge area beyond the apartment itself. If you rely on on-site extras, this may not be the right fit.
What residents actually say
Three Google reviews with a perfect 5/5 score provide insight into the lived experience at the E 13th St / East Village Residence. Below are their verbatim comments.
Hannah Hacohen (5/5):
“I had the most amazing experience living with EHS this summer, I absolutely cannot recommend it enough. Not only was the building safe, new, and in an amazing part of the city, but they paired me with the absolute best roommates. EHS completely set me up for success, and I truly made lifelong friends there! I am so gra”
(The review cuts off; the intended meaning is clearly positive. The mention of being paired with roommates is a key feature of this operator’s model.)
Karolina Kacinskas (5/5):
“The EHS East Village Residence was an amazing experience this summer! The room and amenities were in great condition, the staff and security were very helpful, and the location was a perfect spot in the East Village. I loved every moment of it and miss it already! Thank you EHS.”
Savannah Shafer (5/5):
“EHS East Village Residence was great for the summer! The rooms and amenities were in great condition and is in a pretty central location in the city. Security was also always at the front desk which made for a safer experience!”
All three reviews highlight the summer experience, the quality of the rooms, the security, and the location. The most recurring positive theme is the safety and helpfulness of staff. The first review also strongly emphasises that the roommate-matching process worked well, creating a sense of community. This is a key differentiator if you are arriving alone and want to avoid random listing websites.
Price positioning and room-type guidance
The city of New York has a from-price of USD 850 per month across all 212 student housing properties tracked by the platform. E 13th St, at USD 2,350 – 2,400 monthly (indicative — confirm with the operator), is approximately 2.8 times higher than that baseline. However, the from-price typically represents a shared room in a lower-cost area or a bunk bed arrangement. A private room in a Manhattan shared apartment commonly falls in the USD 1,800 – 2,800 range. By that measure, E 13th St sits in the upper-middle tier for a three-bedroom unit in the East Village.
Because the residence is a single unit type (3b apartment), there is no choice between studios, en-suites, or shared rooms. You will be assigned one of the three private bedrooms and share the living room, kitchen, and bathroom(s). The deposit of USD 2,100 (indicative) is roughly one month’s rent, which is standard for the market.
If you are on a tight budget and can accept a longer commute, many properties near universities in outer boroughs or New Jersey start near the city from-price. But if you value being within walking distance of the East Village nightlife and a short subway ride to Midtown, the premium may be justified.
Booking timing and availability
The listing data shows the unit as “not_available” at the time of collection. This could indicate that bookings are currently closed for the next intake, or that the property operates on a seasonal basis (summer only, as reviews suggest). For 2026 or 2027, you should:
- Check with the operator directly whether the residence will accept bookings for spring, summer, or fall terms.
- If summer is the only offering, expect high demand. Reviews imply that the roommate pairing and security are popular, so early application is advisable.
- The deposit (USD 2,100 indicative) and first month’s rent would likely be due upon confirmation. Have funds ready.
Because the on-platform availability status may change, the most reliable way to learn about open dates is to contact the operator or use the live assistant (see the final line of this article).
FAQ
Is E 13th St open for bookings in 2026 or 2027?
The public listing currently carries a “not_available” tag. Past reviews all refer to a summer stay, suggesting the residence may operate seasonally. You must confirm with the operator whether 2026 or 2027 intakes are open, and for which months. Prices and deposit amounts shown in this article are indicative and subject to change.
Can I live here alone?
No. The only unit type is a three-bedroom apartment. You will share the kitchen, living area, and bathroom(s) with two other residents. The operator matches roommates, as noted in reviews. If you want a private studio or a one-bedroom, this property does not offer that option.
How does the rent compare to other student housing in New York City?
The indicative rent of USD 2,350 – 2,400 per month is significantly above the citywide from-price of USD 850. However, the from-price typically represents a bed in a shared room or a room far from Manhattan. E 13th St offers a private bedroom in a managed apartment in the East Village, which commands a premium. Compare with other private-room options in similar neighbourhoods before deciding.
