June Homes 10002 is a rental property located in New York, NY 10002 – a neighborhood in lower Manhattan covering parts of the Lower East Side and East Village. It is operated by June Homes, a flexible room and apartment provider. The unit types available are one-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom apartments, and branded independent houses. Monthly rent ranges from USD 1,925 to 2,200 (indicative — confirm with the operator). A deposit of USD 159 is required. The minimum lease term is 11 months. The property includes laundry facilities, WiFi, and is non-smoking. It has a Google rating of 4.0 based on more than 1,400 reviews, with specific sub-ratings shown in the data: staff 4.0, social 4.0, location 4.0, cleaning 4.0, internet 4.0, and value for money 4.0. Other dimensions such as food, accuracy, and amenities are rated 3.5.
Who This Residence Suits
This residence suits individuals looking for a move-in ready home in central Manhattan with a relatively short commitment compared to a traditional year-long lease (though the minimum is 11 months, it still allows more flexibility than some standard leases). The positive reviews highlight a smooth move-in process and responsive customer support. One resident, Mohamad Karim, gave a 5-star rating and wrote: “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”.
This suggests the property works well for working professionals or students who value hassle-free onboarding and prompt communication from management. The amenity set (laundry on-site, WiFi included) also suits those who want convenience without arranging utilities separately. The non-smoking policy will appeal to residents who prefer a smoke-free indoor environment. Additionally, the rating for social life (4.0) indicates a reasonable community atmosphere, which may suit people who want some interaction without it being a high-intensity social dorm.
Budget-wise, residents who can afford monthly rent near the upper end of New York’s median for private rooms or small apartments in this area will find this within range. The deposit of USD 159 is notably low compared to the typical one-month deposit in the city, which could suit those with limited upfront savings.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
This property is unlikely to suit anyone working with a tight budget. The city’s from-price across all student housing listings is USD 850 per month, but June Homes 10002 starts at more than double that. Price-sensitive renters or those looking for the cheapest shared accommodation in New York should look elsewhere.
It also does not suit people who are highly sensitive to advertising accuracy. One 1-star review from Sharmila Biswas states: “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”. This indicates a risk that the actual unit may differ from what is shown online. Potential residents who prioritize exact visual confirmation before booking may be disappointed.
The 11-month minimum lease also excludes those who need a stay shorter than that. Travelers, interns on 3-month rotations, or semester-only exchange students would need to look for properties with monthly or short-term options.
Furthermore, the unit types include three-bedroom apartments and “branded independent houses,” which may mean you share common areas with other tenants. If you are looking for total privacy (a studio or a solo one-bedroom with no shared spaces), you should confirm with the operator whether the 1b unit is truly private or part of a shared house structure. The term “branded independent house” can be ambiguous.
What Residents Actually Say
Three reviews are available in the data, representing a range of experiences.
Positive experience – Mohamad Karim (5 stars): As quoted above, this resident praised the smooth move-in, accuracy of the listing, responsive support, and the flexibility compared to a traditional lease. The cleanliness and maintenance were also highlighted. This review suggests that for many residents, the service works as advertised.
Mixed or negative experience – Sharmila Biswas (1 star): The resident alleges that the photos do not match reality and criticizes the practice of charging a cleaning fee for units marketed as furnished. The exact complaint is cut off, but the essence is clear: some users feel misled.
Positive experience – 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”. This reinforces the themes of easy move-in, cleanliness, and responsive service.
Overall, the majority of the 1,400 Google reviews lean positive (rating 4.0), but the negative feedback about photo accuracy appears as a recurring concern. Prospective tenants should read recent reviews on Google and ask the operator for actual photos or a video tour of the specific unit before committing to a deposit.
Price Positioning vs City From-Price
The city-wide from-price for student housing in the data is USD 850 per month. June Homes 10002 starts at USD 1,925 per month. This places it well above the entry-level. However, that from-price likely represents a shared room in an outer borough or a far less central location. The property is in ZIP code 10002, which covers the Lower East Side, a neighborhood close to many Manhattan universities and subway lines. Standard one-bedrooms in this area routinely exceed USD 2,500, so the range of 1,925–2,200 (indicative — confirm with the operator) for a unit in this building is competitive for a furnished, flexibly leased space. The 3-bedroom units would lower the per-person cost if you share, potentially bringing the individual share closer to the city from-price. You should confirm exact breakdown with the operator.
Room-Type Guidance
The property lists three unit types:
- 1b (one-bedroom): Likely a private unit with a separate bedroom, living area, and kitchen. Best for a single occupant or a couple. If you want privacy and are willing to pay the premium, this is the choice.
- 3b (three-bedroom): A shared apartment with three private bedrooms and shared common spaces. This type reduces the per-person cost. The monthly total is still within the 1,925–2,200 range, so each tenant might pay around USD 640–733 per month if split evenly – but that is a rough estimate. Confirm with the operator whether the price shown is per room or for the whole apartment.
- Branded independent house: This may refer to a unit within a larger property managed by June Homes that functions like a private house with shared or private facilities. You need to clarify what “branded independent house” means for this specific listing – for example, is it a studio in a brownstone, a duplex, or a room in a shared house?
Minimum lease is 11 months. For stays in 2026 or 2027, start your search early because Manhattan inventory with flexible terms is limited.
Booking Timing Considerations
The data does not specify an available from date, meaning the property may accept bookings for various start dates. For a 2026 or 2027 move-in, the best practice is to inquire 3–4 months in advance. Given the 11-month minimum, leases starting in August 2026 would run through July 2027, which aligns with the academic calendar. However, availability can shift quickly; use the on-site assistant on this page to check live openings. Because the property has only 212 total listings in New York City (across all June Homes locations), units can fill up during peak summer and fall.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the deposit of USD 159 work?
The deposit listed is only USD 159, which is much lower than a typical month’s rent. This amount is indicative – confirm with the operator whether this is a holding deposit, a non-refundable fee, or a partial security deposit. You may also need to pay a separate security deposit or cleaning fee upon move-in. Read the lease terms carefully.
Is the WiFi included in the rent?
The property tags include “wifi”, and both positive reviews mention that the place was clean and responsive service. It is likely that basic WiFi is included in the monthly rent, but confirm the speed, data limits, and whether a router is provided. For heavy streaming or remote work, ask for specifics.
Can I rent a one-bedroom unit for less than 11 months?
The minimum lease term is 11 months. There is no option for month-to-month or short-term rental in the data. If you need a shorter period, you should contact the operator directly to ask about early exit clauses or subletting options. In some cases, June Homes may allow lease takeovers, but this is not guaranteed.
