Overview and Location
Urban 1435 is a furnished apartment building located at 1435 York Avenue (entrance on 78th Street), in the Upper East Side neighborhood of New York City. The property sits in a quiet, tree-lined residential area within easy walking distance of Central Park, the East River waterfront, and several subway lines (including the 6 train on Lexington Avenue). The address is New York, NY 10021.
The building offers entire apartments (studio, one‑bedroom, two‑bedroom, and three‑bedroom configurations) under the “Urban Furnished” brand. It is marketed toward professionals, graduate students, and anyone needing a short‑to‑medium‑term rental in Manhattan without the hassle of furnishing. Minimum lease is one month, and all units come with a full set of furniture, kitchenware, linens, and utilities (electricity, gas, water, and high‑speed internet) included in the monthly rent. On‑site laundry and a television are provided in each apartment.
Who This Residence Suits
Urban 1435 is well suited for:
- Short‑term professionals – people relocating to New York for a few months, interns, or consultants who want a move‑in‑ready home with no utility setup or furniture shopping.
- Graduate students or visiting researchers – those with funding who need a quiet, clean, and secure base close to Upper East Side institutions (though no specific university is affiliated). The Upper East Side is home to several hospitals, Rockefeller University, and other research centers.
- Couples or small families – the one‑ and two‑bedroom units can comfortably accommodate two adults and maybe one child, with separate living and sleeping spaces.
- Anyone who prioritises convenience – the all‑in‑pricing model (rent + utilities + Wi‑Fi) makes budgeting simple, and the landlord handles maintenance requests promptly (according to reviews).
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
- Budget‑conscious students – the monthly price starts at approximately 6,724 USD for the smallest units and goes up to 12,501 USD for larger apartments. This is far above the city‑wide average “from‑price” of 850 USD per month for student housing (typically shared rooms in purpose‑built residences). Urban 1435 is squarely in the luxury segment.
- Those needing social or community spaces – this is a standard apartment building, not a student dormitory. There are no common lounges, study rooms, or organised events. Residents live independently.
- Short‑stay visitors under one month – the minimum lease is 30 days, so a two‑week trip would not qualify.
- People who prefer unfurnished apartments – all units are fully furnished and equipped, which might be a disadvantage if you already own furniture and want to bring it.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews (out of 46 total, giving an average rating of 4.5) provide direct insight:
Koren Krissi (5★):
“I rented a studio through Urban Furnished and had a great experience overall. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Communication was easy throughout the process, and everything went smoothly from move-in to move-out. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely rent from them again.”
This review highlights reliability: the property matches its listing, the check‑in/check‑out process is smooth, and the landlord is responsive.
Karen Kremer (5★):
“Wonderful experience with Urban Furnished at 317 E 78th St! From the easy check-in process throughout my 2 month stay to the final instructions for check-out, the team at Urban Furnished exceeded my expectations. The location was perfect for my needs and had great restaurants, shops, bakeries and activities close by.”
This reviewer stays in a different Urban Furnished property (317 E 78th St appears to be part of the same building or building cluster). The key takeaway is location convenience and a seamless two‑month experience.
Emily Russell (5★):
“As a local needing a place to stay for two months while my nearby apartment was off-line, I found Urban Furnished an incredibly accommodating and helpful landlord. The response time for any questions was almost immediate and there was an unfailing desire to please (Kateryn was particularly gracious and efficient). The” (review truncated).
This local renter used Urban Furnished as a temporary home during renovations. The speed of customer service and willingness to accommodate are praised.
Common themes across all three: cleanliness, accurate descriptions, responsive management, and hassle‑free stays. No negative points are raised in these particular reviews, though the overall sample is small (46 reviews).
Price Positioning vs the City’s From‑Price
The lowest monthly price for any unit at Urban 1435 is 6,724 USD (indicative — confirm with the operator). The highest is 12,501 USD (indicative — confirm with the operator). By comparison, the cheapest student‑housing listing in New York City on the same platform starts at about 850 USD per month, typically for a shared room in a purpose‑built residence.
This means Urban 1435 is roughly 8 to 15 times more expensive than the city’s entry‑level student accommodation. It is not intended for students on a tight budget; rather, it competes with mid‑range corporate housing or short‑term apartment rentals. The price includes all utilities and furnishings, which partially offsets the sticker shock for someone comparing to an unfurnished lease with separate bills.
If you are a student with a stipend or scholarship, or a professional on a relocation package, the convenience may justify the cost. If you are paying out of pocket from savings, you will find far cheaper options elsewhere in the city.
Room‑Type Guidance
The property lists two unit categories: “3b” (three‑bedroom apartment) and “apartment” (a general category that may include studios, one‑bedrooms, and two‑bedrooms). No exact inventory is given here, but based on typical Urban Furnished buildings, units vary.
- Studio / one‑bedroom – likely the cheapest (around 6,724 USD). Best for a single person or a couple. Provides private living and sleeping space.
- Two‑bedroom – suitable for two flatmates or a couple with a child. Price probably falls in the mid‑range (9,000–10,500 USD).
- Three‑bedroom – intended for three people sharing. At the top end (12,501 USD) this becomes about 4,167 USD per person, which is still expensive compared to a shared apartment via normal leasing but includes everything.
Key constraint: The “apartment” designation might include multiple room types. To see exact floor plans and current availability, you will need to contact the operator directly. The on‑site assistant on this page can help.
Booking Timing
Because Urban 1435 operates like a corporate‑housing provider, availability can change quickly. The building does not follow academic semester cycles; units are booked year‑round.
- For a stay starting September 2026 (the usual fall semester): begin looking in early 2026 (January–March). Many corporate housing clients book 3–6 months ahead. Last‑minute cancellations may open up inventory, but waiting until August risks limited choice.
- For a summer 2026 stay (June–August): this is peak season for short‑term rentals in New York. Start contacting the landlord in January or February. Confirm the specific unit you want, as the most affordable studios go first.
- For a winter 2026/27 stay (December–February): demand usually dips after the holidays, so you may find better availability a month or two before move‑in. However, the best units (higher floors, better views) still require early planning.
Given the high price and limited number of units, it is wise to secure a booking as soon as your plans are firm. The minimum lease of one month makes it flexible for mid‑length stays, but you cannot rely on last‑minute openings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deposit policy for Urban 1435?
The data provided lists no deposit amount (indicated as “null”). You should confirm with the operator whether a security deposit or a damage waiver is required. Many corporate housing providers ask for a one‑month security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent – indicative only until confirmed.
Are all bills truly included?
Yes, the property is tagged with “bills_included.” Reviews confirm rent covers electricity, gas, water, internet, and all furnishings. No separate payments for utilities or Wi‑Fi should be needed, but always verify in your lease agreement.
Can I sublet or assign my lease?
The minimum lease term is one month, but the operator’s policy on subletting is not specified in the data. Corporate housing contracts usually prohibit subleasing. If you need flexibility beyond the initial lease, ask the operator directly about early termination or lease transfer options.
