Overview
Located at 645 Bedford Avenue in the Brooklyn neighbourhood of New York City, this residence is operated by a co-living company known for curating social, community-focused living experiences. The building offers shared apartments in configurations of three, six, and seven bedrooms, as well as some full-apartment units. The property includes a cinema room, a gym, laundry facilities, and a rooftop — amenities that residents frequently highlight in their reviews.
With a Google rating of 4.8 from 81 reviews, Bedford 645 has received strong endorsements from past and current residents. However, the property is currently tagged as “not available” in the listing, which suggests that units may be filled or that availability is intermittent. Prospective tenants should verify current openings directly with the operator.
Who Should Live Here
Students and young professionals who prioritise social connection. The co-living model deliberately groups residents of similar ages and interests, and the building hosts events across multiple houses to encourage friendship. If you are new to New York City and want to build a social network quickly, this residence provides a built-in community.
People who value on-site amenities. The cinema room, gym, and rooftop are frequently mentioned as key advantages. Residents can exercise, watch movies together, or hang out on the rooftop without leaving the building. For someone who wants convenience and shared recreational spaces, these facilities add genuine value.
Those comfortable with shared living. All unit types (3‑bed, 6‑bed, 7‑bed) are multi‑occupancy. Common areas including the living room, kitchen, and basement are shared. If you have lived in dorms or shared houses before and enjoy the dynamics of communal life, this layout will feel familiar.
Short‑term tenants. The minimum lease is 3 months, which is helpful for exchange students, interns, or anyone needing flexibility. Longer stays are possible, but the short minimum commitment lowers the barrier.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere
Those who need a private apartment. If you are not willing to share a bathroom, kitchen, or living space, this is not the right fit. The residence offers apartment‑type units (tagged “apartment”), but the listing does not specify whether those are private studios or multi‑bedroom flats. Check directly if a solo unit is essential.
Budget‑conscious renters in New York City. The city’s from‑price for student housing is 850 USD/month (indicative). Bedford 645’s price range is not published on this listing, but the deposit is 1,479 USD, which hints that monthly rent is likely well above the city’s floor. Co‑living in Brooklyn often runs 1,200–2,000 USD per person per month, depending on room size and floor plan. You should confirm the exact rate with the operator before making a decision.
People who want a quiet, low‑interaction environment. The residence is designed for sociability. Resident reviews praise the “sociable and fun” atmosphere and “events across the different houses.” If you prefer solitude or need uninterrupted study time at home, a co‑living building with regular social activities may not suit your style.
Anyone arriving after availability is confirmed closed. Since the property is currently marked “not available”, it may have a waitlist or be undergoing turnover. Do not rely on this listing for immediate move‑in; always verify availability first.

Martha Biss (5 stars): “I have just moved out of Cohabs in NYC and I only have positive things to say! The facilities such as the basement/cinema room, the living room, and the rooftop make it a really sociable and fun place to hang out. I also really liked having a gym downstairs. Living here was definitely a top highlight of my 10 months in…”
Arya Anand (5 stars): “Living at Cohabs was the best part of NYC for me! I’ve made some lifelong friendships and am constantly greeted with people who make living in the city feel like a home.

Ryder Klein (5 stars): “Being in Cohabs has made my transition to living New York so much easier and the amount of friends that I’ve made has been nothing short of remarkable. I’ve been in New York since late September and to build lifelong connections so quick has been absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend cohabs if you want to meet som…”
All three reviews mention the community, friendships, and the ease of settling in.

Note that the reviews refer to the operator “Cohabs”, which is the company running Bedford 645.
Price & Value
The listing does not show a minimum or maximum monthly price. Only the deposit (1,479 USD) is stated. For comparison, the lowest price among all student properties in New York City is 850 USD/month (indicative). Bedford 645 is likely more expensive than that baseline because:
- It is located in Brooklyn, where co‑living rents typically range from 1,200–1,800 USD per person monthly.
- It has a deposit of 1,479 USD, which is usually one month’s rent — so a monthly rent around that figure is plausible.
- The amenities (cinema, gym, rooftop) add to the cost.
All prices quoted here are indicative — confirm with the operator. You should request a full breakdown of rent, deposit, any application fees, and utility arrangements before committing.
Room Types & Leases
The unit types listed are:
- 3‑bedroom (3b)
- 6‑bedroom (6b)
- 7‑bedroom (7b)
- Apartment
In co‑living, these numbers indicate the total bedrooms in the unit. Each bedroom is typically rented to one person, with shared kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms. The “apartment” tag may refer to a full‑unit rental, but the listing does not provide details. If you want a whole apartment, ask the operator directly.
Lease terms: minimum lease is 3 months. No maximum is stated. Availability and specific move‑in dates are not listed. The “not available” tag suggests that units may be full for the current term; however, operators often release rooms for future semesters. Check for openings in 2026 and 2027.
Booking Timing
2026–2027 academic year: Since the property is currently marked not available, you should treat this as a lead for future availability. Many co‑living properties in New York City fill up 2–4 months before move‑in. If you are aiming for a start date in August or September 2026, begin inquiries by April–May 2026. For January 2027 intake, start looking in October–November 2026.
Flexibility: With a 3‑month minimum lease, you can also plan intakes that do not align with the traditional semester. The property may accept tenants year‑round if rooms are free, but again — confirm with the operator.
FAQ
Is Bedford 645 available for 2026?
The listing currently tags the property as “not available”. This may mean there are no vacant rooms at this moment. However, co‑living properties often turn over as leases end. You should contact the operator directly to ask about future availability for 2026 and 2027. Do not assume a room will open without checking.
What is the monthly rent?
No monthly price is provided in the listing data. The deposit is 1,479 USD, which is often equivalent to one month’s rent, but that is not guaranteed. Request a written quote from the operator including the exact rent for your preferred room type. For reference, the city‑wide from‑price is 850 USD/month (indicative), and co‑living units in Brooklyn typically cost more.
Can I live here alone in a private apartment?
The listing includes “apartment” as a unit type, but the description does not specify whether these are completely private units or just larger shared flats. All other unit types (3b, 6b, 7b) are shared. If you require a private studio or one‑bedroom apartment, you should confirm the exact configuration of the “apartment” option with the operator. Otherwise, expect to share common spaces.
