Who This Residence Suits and Who It Doesn’t
Crown 907 sits in Brooklyn, New York City, at 40.67° N, 73.94° W. The unit types listed are 7-bedroom, 3-bedroom, and apartment (likely studio or one-bedroom). The weekly rent is not given; prices are quoted monthly, ranging from $1,650 to $2,025 — indicative, confirm with the operator. The minimum lease is 3 months.
This residence works best for students or young professionals who:
- Prefer a short-term commitment – A 3-month lease is shorter than many NYC apartments that require 12 months. It suits exchange students, interns, or those testing the neighbourhood before signing a longer contract.
- Value proximity to public transit – According to resident “BlueIT” (Google review, 4 stars), the property is “just next to the underground station (Marcy Av).” That puts you on the J/M/Z lines – roughly 20 minutes to Manhattan’s Lower East Side, 30 minutes to NYU’s Washington Square campus, and 40 minutes to Midtown. The nearby subway is a major plus.
- Budget around $1,650–$2,000/month – The city’s from‑price (the lowest listed student property price in New York City according to the platform) is $850/month. So Crown 907 is in the upper‑mid range. If you can afford $1,650+ and want a room in a managed building with amenities (gym, coworking space, bike storage), this could be a fit.
- Do not mind train noise and thin walls – But read on: resident feedback about noise is mixed.
This residence probably does not suit:
- Light sleepers – The building sits under the subway line. The operator claims inside the building is “perfectly isolated” (per resident MBS, 4 stars), yet another resident (BlueIT) said “most people will not mind nearby train noises, I didn’t.” Another reviewer (Harrison G, 2 stars) complained that interior walls were “chipboard that did not extend to the ceiling,” letting conversations travel. If you need complete silence at night, the combination of external and internal noise may be a problem.
- Those seeking private space – With 7‑bed and 3‑bed units, you will share common areas. The apartment type may be private, but no further detail is given. Confirm with the operator.
- Anyone needing a long lease – Minimum lease is only 3 months; if you want to stay a full academic year (9–12 months), you would have to renew, which may involve price changes or availability issues.
- Budget‑conscious students – At $1,650+ monthly, this is nearly double the city’s lowest student price ($850). If you can stretch, it is an option, but cheaper shared rooms exist elsewhere in Brooklyn.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews are available (Crown 907 has a 3.1‑star aggregate from 495 ratings). Here are verbatim excerpts:
BlueIT (4 stars):
“Stayed here four night. Restrooms were relatively clean 4/5. On the last night noticed smears on vanity mirror in restroom. Should be clean more frequently. Most people will not mind nearby train noises, I didn’t. The neighbor noises are more annoying but usually they quiet down after a while. The walls don’t reach the”
(Review cuts off. The key point: cleanliness is decent – the mirror smears were minor – and train noise is tolerable, but neighbour noise can be an issue.)
Harrison G (2 stars):
“Rooms were just chipboard that did not extend to the ceiling. This allowed every bit of conversation and noise to be heard from all rooms on the floor. People did not have to be loud for their conversations to be heard, the sound just travelled. This would be fine if specified in the description of the place but it is”
(Harrison G’s review ends mid‑sentence. The problem: partition walls do not reach the ceiling, so sound travels easily. This would be a major drawback for anyone needing quiet study space or privacy.)
MBS (4 stars):
“Good value ! What’s really cool there is that it’s just next to the underground station (Marcy Av), but it’s also the only downside about this place : It’s literally under the subway line. However, inside the building, it is perfectly isolated from the outside noise. The bathroom was very clean, and the rooms are actua”
(MBS gives a higher rating and says the building is well‑soundproofed from external noise. Contradicts the other two? Possibly this reviewer was in a unit that faced away from the line, or the noise isolation works for train rumble but not for internal chatter. Worth checking with the operator.)
Takeaway: reviews are split. One person found it quiet inside, two others noted noise issues. Cleanliness gets average marks. The property description likely doesn’t mention the partial walls.
Price Positioning vs the City’s From‑Price
The platform’s data shows the cheapest student property in New York City starts at $850/month. That could be a shared room in a far‑outer borough, a dorm‑style unit, or a seasonal rate. Crown 907’s minimum is $1,650 – roughly 94% above the city floor. It is in the second tier of student housing in NYC: above budget, below luxury.
For context, typical student apartments in Brooklyn (Bushwick, Crown Heights, Williamsburg) range $1,000–$1,800 for a private room in a shared unit. At $1,650–$2,025, Crown 907 is on the higher end for a 3‑ or 7‑bed share. However, it offers amenities (gym, coworking, bike storage) that most $1,000 rooms lack.
The “apartment” type (likely a studio or one‑bedroom) would likely be at the top of the price range (around $2,025). That is competitive for a private unit near Marcy Avenue, but still indicative – confirm with the operator.
Room‑Type Guidance
Three unit types are listed: 7b, 3b, apartment.
- 7‑bedroom (7b): Most affordable per person. Expect shared kitchen and living space. Good for sociable people who want to keep costs low. Price probably near $1,650/month (low end).
- 3‑bedroom (3b): Moderate balance between space and cost. Likely mid‑range, around $1,800–$1,900/month per room.
- Apartment: Most expensive, private unit. Possibly $2,000+. Suitable for couples or anyone who wants a solo space.
Given the noise complaints about thin internal partitions, note that any shared unit will have sound carry. The 7b may have more foot traffic; the apartment might have better soundproofing (but not guaranteed). Always ask the operator for floor plans and wall construction.
Booking Timing
The listing tag includes “not_available,” which suggests Crown 907 is not currently offered for occupancy (at the time of data collection). However, the platform frequently updates inventory. If you are looking for 2026 or 2027 occupancy:
- Start checking 9–12 months in advance. Student housing in New York City – especially near subway lines – fills quickly for fall semester.
- Because the minimum lease is 3 months, availability may open up at different points of the year (January, May, September).
- If the tag changes to “available,” book as soon as your plans are firm. Prices may be higher for shorter stays.
Frequently Asked Questions
H3: Is the noise from the subway really noticeable inside?
According to resident reviews, it varies. One reviewer said the building is “perfectly isolated” from outside noise; another said train noises did not bother them. A third reviewer complained about internal noise from partial walls. The subway rumble is likely audible but perhaps not disruptive to everyone. If you are sensitive to low‑frequency sound, request a unit on a high floor or facing away from the tracks.
H3: Can I get a private room for under $1,700?
The listed price range is $1,650–$2,025 per month. A private room in a 7‑bed or 3‑bed unit could be at the low end of that range, near $1,650. But that is indicative – confirm with the operator. The “apartment” type will be at least $2,000. Cheaper alternatives in Brooklyn exist (the city from‑price is $850) but may not include the same amenities or location.
H3: What utilities and fees are included?
The data set does not specify. Typical student residences may include water, trash, and sometimes high‑speed internet or electricity within the rent. Contact the operator directly to ask about deposits, utility caps, and any extra charges (e.g., cleaning fees for the 7‑bed unit). No deposit amount is listed in the data.
