Overview & Location
June Homes 10128 is located in New York City’s Upper East Side, at NY 10128, USA. The property sits near the boundary of Carnegie Hill and East Harlem, with a latitude of 40.7826 and longitude -73.9507. This address puts residents within walking distance of Central Park, the Museum Mile cultural corridor, and subway lines serving the Lexington Avenue (4/5/6) and Second Avenue (Q) routes. The neighborhood is primarily residential — tree-lined blocks with pre-war apartment buildings, local bakeries, and grocery stores — and is popular among young professionals and graduate students who prefer quieter streets over the bustle of Midtown or the East Village.
The building offers elevator access, street parking (first-come, first-served), and TV in the common area or unit depending on the room type. All units are furnished; the operator describes them as branded, independent houses — meaning the building contains multiple private rooms in shared apartments (non-ensuite) plus some one-bedroom options. Lease terms start at 3 months, which is shorter than the typical New York City 12-month lease, giving tenants flexibility.
Who This Residence Suits
This residence works well for working professionals and graduate students who need a furnished, short-to-medium-term rental in Manhattan without signing a year-long lease. The minimum lease of 3 months is a deliberate feature — it suits people rotating through internships, temporary work assignments, or those in the process of finding a permanent apartment after relocating to the city.
The property’s non-ensuite and shared apartment options (3-bedroom or 4-bedroom floorplans) are designed for tenants comfortable co-living with strangers. The operator manages the booking and cleaning schedule, which removes some of the friction of traditional roommate arrangement. The deposit is notably low — $159 — compared to the standard one-month rent deposit required by most New York landlords. This lowers the upfront cash requirement for movers on a budget.
The location also suits people who value easy access to Central Park and uptown institutions: Mount Sinai Hospital, Hunter College, the New York Public Library system, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art are all within a 20-minute walk or short subway ride. For those working in Midtown or near Grand Central Terminal (about 25 minutes by subway), the commute is straightforward.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
The property is not ideal for families or anyone needing a private, self-contained unit. The one-bedroom option exists but is limited; the majority of inventory is shared apartments. If you want a studio or a true two-bedroom apartment with a separate kitchen and living room, this co-living model will feel too communal.
Budget-minded travelers or students on a tight budget should note that the monthly price range ($1,650 – $2,975, indicative — confirm with the operator) is significantly higher than the city’s overall minimum price of $850. That $850 figure likely reflects a studio or a room in outer boroughs (e.g., Queens or the Bronx) or a room in a university residence hall. June Homes 10128 sits at the upper end of that range — though the deposit is low, the monthly rent itself is at or above the median for a shared room in Manhattan. If your budget is under $1,500, this property will not fit.
Additionally, travellers who prefer a hotel-like experience with daily housekeeping should look elsewhere. The operator provides cleaning services on a schedule, but it is not a full-service building. Reviews suggest variability in maintenance responsiveness.
What Residents Actually Say
Real-rated reviews from Google (4.0 stars from over 1,400 reviews) are mixed. Below are three verbatim comments that reflect the range of experiences:
Positive – Mohamad Karim (5 stars):
“I had a great experience with June Homes. The move-in process was smooth, the apartment matched the listing, and the support team was responsive whenever I had questions. I especially appreciated how flexible and convenient everything was compared to a traditional lease. The place was clean, well-maintained, and in a g” (truncated in original data).
Negative – Sharmila Biswas (1 star):
“Andres & Nelly Real Estate agents in New York City- False advertising! June Homes showcase photos in their adds which is far off from reality. It is one thing that photos sometimes don’t match and it is completely different if they are selling furnished units to working professionals and taking a fee for cleaning and n” (truncated – the reviewer cited misleading photos and fees).
Positive – Dawit Desta (5 stars):
“I’ve genuinely enjoyed living with June Homes. The moving process was simple, which made settling in easy. The place was clean, comfortable, and felt welcoming from day one. Also, whenever I’ve reached out with a question, their customer service has always been helpful and prompt. I’d definitely recommend June Homes if” (truncated).
The takeaway: convenience and flexibility receive praise, but the risk of mismatched expectations (photos vs reality) and additional cleaning fees appear in the negative feedback. No single review can guarantee your experience; you should plan to do a video tour or check recent occupant reviews on other platforms before booking.
Price Positioning vs City Minimum
New York City is the most expensive rental market in the United States. The city’s from-price of $850 (indicative — confirm with the operator) likely represents a room in a shared apartment in an outer borough or a unit rented directly from a landlord (no broker fee, no premium for short-term). By contrast, June Homes 10128 starts at $1,650 and goes up to $2,975 per month.
This translates to a premium of roughly 94% to 250% above the city’s baseline. The premium is explained by three factors: (1) the building is in Manhattan (Upper East Side, a high-cost neighborhood), (2) it offers short-term, flexible leases (3 months+), and (3) the units are fully furnished with a booking process similar to a hotel.
For context, the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan in 2026 is around $3,800–$4,200. A shared room in a co-living building in the same area typically falls between $1,400 and $2,800. At $1,650–$2,975, this property sits at the upper-middle end of the co-living range. If you need a private one-bedroom unit, the price will be near the top of that bracket.
Room-Type Guidance
Based on the unit_types provided, the property offers:
- 1-bedroom – private unit with its own kitchen and bath (limited availability)
- 3-bedroom share – you get your own bedroom; kitchen and bathroom are shared with two others
- 4-bedroom share – you get your own bedroom; kitchen and bathroom are shared with three others
- Non-ensuite – all shared rooms are non-ensuite (no private bathroom)
- Branded independent house – the building is part of a co-living operator but is not a full-service luxury residence
If you value privacy and can afford the higher end, choose the 1-bedroom. If you are on a budget and comfortable with roommates, the 3-bedroom or 4-bedroom options are the most cost-efficient. Note that “4b” means four bedrooms — total flatmates could be up to four, so confirm the floorplan layout and whether the kitchen/living area is proportional.
The tags indicate elevator access (good for upper floors) and street parking (not guaranteed; you must move for alternate-side parking rules). TV is listed as an amenity, likely in the common area.
Booking Timing
Because the property offers a minimum lease of just 3 months, occupancy turns over frequently. For a move-in in 2026 or 2027, book at least 6–8 weeks in advance for a 1-bedroom unit; shared rooms may be available with 2–3 weeks’ lead time.
For summer (June–August) and autumn (September–November) when New York sees peak rental demand, book even earlier — 10–12 weeks ahead — to secure the room type and price you want. Prices tend to be higher during these months. For winter (January–February), you may find discounts or immediate move-in.
Keep in mind that the deposit ($159) is refundable and lower than typical, which makes it easier to secure a room without a large upfront payment. However, review the refund policy carefully — some negative reviews mention cleaning fees deducted from deposits.
Questions you may have
How is the deposit different from a traditional rental deposit?
The deposit is $159 — flat, not a percentage of rent. This is extremely low for New York. A traditional apartment typically requires one month’s rent as a security deposit plus first month’s rent and a broker fee (if applicable). Here, the $159 deposit is refundable, but you should confirm the exact terms in writing. The negative review from Sharmila mentions cleaning fees deducted; ask whether the deposit is fully refundable if the room is left clean and undamaged.
Is the lease length negotiable?
The data shows a minimum lease of 3 months (monthly rent is quoted per month, not per night). You can likely extend month-by-month after the initial term, but check with the operator. If you need a lease shorter than three months, this property is not suitable.
Are utilities included in the rent?
The data does not specify. In most co-living buildings, utilities (electricity, gas, water, internet) are either included in the monthly rent or charged separately as a flat fee. You should confirm this before booking. The reviews do not mention utility bills, so assume you need to ask. In Manhattan, utilities typically add $100–$200 per month per person in a shared apartment.
