The Village draws a roommate pool shaped by its institutions and its history. Law students from NYU and Cardozo, graduate students at NYU and The New School, and visiting researchers look for housemates who keep the same hours as they do. Each summer, interns from across the country arrive for ten-week programs and need someone to share with until August. Young professionals who want a walkable, low-rise neighborhood make up the rest, and many LGBTQ renters choose the Village for its place in that history, centered on the Stonewall Inn and Christopher Park. 1 people are currently searching for a Greenwich Village roommate on Roomster's roommate finder, and putting your school, job or internship dates in your profile is the quickest way to find a compatible match.
Splitting a Village two-bedroom, which averages around $8,255 to $8,290 a month, leaves each roommate paying roughly $4,130 to $4,150, while a one-bedroom alone averages about $6,500 to $6,870. Sharing saves each person more than $2,000 a month, which is why so many graduates keep a roommate well into their working lives here. To bring your share down further, look at three-bedroom walk-ups in the South Village, where a third person can cut each share well below $3,000. Asking rents have also softened, by about 12 percent year over year in one survey, so ask for a lower figure at renewal. And if the apartment is rent stabilized, the leaseholder cannot charge a roommate above that roommate's fair portion of the registered rent.
It works well for them, because a graduate schedule is easy to describe and hard to live with if you do not share it. NYU School of Law sits on Washington Square South, Cardozo School of Law is at 55 Fifth Avenue, and The New School and Parsons are a short walk north around Fifth Avenue and 13th Street, so a large share of the Village's sharers are reading, writing or studying for the bar through long nights and weekends. Say in your profile what program you are in, whether you study at home, and how you feel about guests during exam periods. Two law students tend to keep compatible hours, while a law student paired with someone who entertains every weekend usually does not last past the first semester.
Yes. The Village has long been at the center of LGBTQ life in New York, and the Stonewall National Monument, designated on June 24, 2016 and covering Christopher Park, the Stonewall Inn and the surrounding streets, is the first national monument dedicated to LGBTQ history. Many renters here say plainly in their profiles that they want an LGBTQ or LGBTQ-affirming household, and that is a perfectly reasonable thing to look for in a roommate. Be specific about what matters to you, whether that is a household of LGBTQ housemates or simply people who are welcoming, and look for profiles that say the same. The blocks west of Sixth Avenue around Christopher Street are a natural place to start your roommate search.
Work backward from the academic calendar. Most Village leases turn over on June 1, July 1 or August 1, timed so that students can move in before NYU's fall semester starts in early September, which makes April through July the busiest months for roommate searches. If you are an intern, start in March or April, since the best summer sublets go to people who commit early, and set your dates to match your program. If you have flexibility, the quiet months from November to February bring fewer competing applicants, and households with a room to fill mid-year are more open to negotiating a move-in date or a discount. Whatever your timing, settle the split, the lease length and the house rules before anyone signs.
Many Village sharers arrive from out of town for school or a summer internship and cannot see a room before they commit, which is exactly the situation scammers look for during sublet season. Insist on a live video tour rather than photos, confirm who the leaseholder is and that the building has approved a subtenant, and compare the rent with others nearby. Roomster offers members a free, optional ID check and address check, and each profile lists the ones its owner has finished, so complete yours and put people who have done theirs first. Once your profile is validated by email and phone, you can message someone for free. Keep the conversation on Roomster and never wire a deposit to someone you have not met.
