June Homes 11216: A Decision Review
June Homes 11216 is a rental property in Brooklyn (NY 11216), operated by June Homes. It offers shared apartments and independent houses with a minimum lease of 4 months. Below is a neutral, data-based assessment of who this residence suits, what residents report, how it compares price-wise, and practical tips for booking.
Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
Suitable for:
- Short- to medium-term tenants – The minimum lease is 4 months, making it a practical option for interns, exchange students, or people testing a neighborhood before committing to a yearlong lease.
- Those who prioritise a smooth move-in process – Multiple reviews highlight an “easy application process” without tedious interviews. The team is described as “communicative and responsive.”
- Residents who value cleanliness, accuracy, and responsive management – The property scored 5.0 on cleaning, property maintenance, and staff. One review says “any repairs that were required were promptly attended to.” Another notes the apartment was “well furnished, clean, and as seen in photos.”
- People looking for a social atmosphere – Social rating is 5.0 (out of 5). While no specific social events are detailed, the community score of 3.5 suggests a moderate community dynamic.
- Budget-conscious tenants willing to share space – Room types include 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom units (non-ensuite, meaning shared bathrooms). The monthly price range of 1,300–1,675 USD is below many Manhattan studio rents, though above the city-wide from-price of 850 USD.
Not ideal for:
- Those on a very tight budget – The city’s cheapest listing is 850 USD per month; June Homes 11216 starts at 1,300 USD. If your maximum is below that, look at other options.
- Privates-only tenants – The property does not offer private ensuite rooms (all non-ensuite). If you require your own bathroom, look for “ensuite” or “studio” types.
- Long-term renters (year+) without flexibility – While 4 months is fine, longer extensions may be possible but are not explicitly guaranteed. Check with the operator if you need 12+ months.
- People who need zero extra fees – A deposit of 139 USD is required (refundable). Other potential costs (utilities, cleaning fees) are not specified; confirm with June Homes.
What Verified Residents Say
All three available reviews give 5.0 stars. Below are verbatim extracts followed by neutral notes.
“Loved my time at my Chelsea location. It served as a great home away from home. June Homes allowed for an easy application process that made finding a location easy (without having to go through tedious interviews). Any repairs that were required were promptly attended to.”
This reviewer lived at a Chelsea location (not 11216), but the experience reflects the company’s operating model. The emphasis is on convenience and maintenance responsiveness.
“Had a good month-long stay at June Homes in New York. The apartment was well furnished, clean, and as seen in photos. Move-in and move-out were also simple – and the security deposit was returned quickly. The team was communicative and responsive. No complaints and I would stay again if I was looking short-term.”
This explicitly mentions a 1-month stay (shorter than the listed 4-month minimum for 11216; perhaps different property or flexible lease). Key points: photo accuracy, quick deposit return, positive team communication.
“I lived in June homes NYC, the company has a great service. Their pictures match actual apartments and rooms. They always want to help and treated me like a King. I will definitely stay with one of their apartments in the future.”
Again, photo match is highlighted. The phrase “treated me like a King” suggests high customer service — but note it’s a subjective description.
Summary of themes: smooth paperwork, accurate listing photos, responsive maintenance, fast deposit refund, helpful staff. No negative reviews are available. However, the sample is small (3 reviews); consider them as indicative.
Pricing and Value: How It Compares to the City Average
- Property price range: 1,300–1,675 USD per month (indicative — confirm with the operator).
- City from-price: 850 USD per month (for all 212 properties listed on the platform).
- Deposit: 139 USD (very low compared to typical 1–2 months’ rent).
The property sits in the mid‑range for Brooklyn. Renters paying 1,300 USD get a bed in a shared non-ensuite flat. Those paying at the top end (1,675 USD) likely get a larger room or a 1‑bedroom (1b) unit, if available.
Value for money was rated 5.0 by residents — meaning residents feel they get fair service and accommodation for the price. But note: Value ratings are subjective and based on only a few reviews.
Given the deposit is only 139 USD, the upfront cost is low, which can appeal to people who want to minimise initial cash outlay.
Room Types and Which to Choose
From the data, unit types available are:
- 1b – One-bedroom apartment, likely private (no shared bathroom? not specified; confirm).
- 4b – Four-bedroom house / flat, non-ensuite (shared bathroom, kitchen, living).
- 5b – Five-bedroom house / flat, non-ensuite.
- Branded independent house – A house operated under the June Homes brand; layout likely includes multiple bedrooms and shared common areas.
- Non-ensuite – Essentially all non-private bathroom rooms.
Guidance:
- If you need complete privacy, look for “1b”. It will be at the higher end of the price range.
- If you want to minimise rent and are comfortable sharing a bathroom and common areas, choose a 4b or 5b bedroom (prices likely start at 1,300 USD).
- The “branded independent house” is similar to a co-living setup; less privacy but potentially more community.
Always confirm exact room configuration (shared bathroom count, kitchen access) with June Homes before booking.
Booking Timing and Lease Considerations
- Minimum lease: 4 months. The property may allow shorter stays in special cases; check.
- Available from: Not specified in the data. Contact the operator for current availability.
- Peak season: New York City’s rental demand peaks in summer (June–August) for student and intern arrivals. If you plan a 4‑month stay starting in June 2026, start inquiring by March–April 2026 to secure a room.
- No deposit towards first month: The deposit is separate; rent is paid monthly in advance. Confirm the exact payment schedule.
Because the property has only 3 reviews and no university affiliation, it may be less well‑known among students. That could mean more availability, but also less community programming. Use the onsite assistant for live availability and pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
H3: What is included in the rental price?
Based on the property tags: a TV is provided, common areas are furnished, and laundry facilities are available. It does not specify whether utilities (electricity, internet, water) are included. The review mentions the apartment was “well furnished,” so furniture for common areas is included. Internet and cleaning services may be included in some plans — confirm with the operator. Price is monthly rent only; deposit is 139 USD separate.
H3: Is June Homes 11216 suitable for students?
Yes, in a general sense. The property is located in Brooklyn, a borough with many universities (though no university names are listed in the data). The minimum 4‑month lease fits a semester term. The high ratings for internet (5.0) and study environment (3.5) indicate it is at least adequate for remote study. However, there is no dedicated student community, events, or academic support. If you need siloed quiet, a 1‑bedroom would be preferable over a shared 4‑bedroom.
H3: How is the security deposit handled?
The deposit is listed as 139 USD. According to a review, “the security deposit was returned quickly.” The exact refund timeline and any deduction policies are not specified in the source data. Contact June Homes directly to confirm the terms (e.g., whether cleaning fees apply). Given the low deposit amount, the risk of losing a large sum is minimal.
