Rent a Room in NYC: Furnished Rooms for Rent

Rent a room in New York City without the broker fee, the guarantor letter, or the twelve-month lease. Amsterdam Place offers furnished rooms for rent on the Upper West Side, at 205 and 207 West 85th Street, with utilities, gigabit Wi-Fi, and weekly cleaning included in one weekly rate. Rooms for rent from $420 a week, billed every four weeks, no US credit and no US guarantor required. Whether you are searching “room for rent NYC,” “rooms for rent New York,” or “rent a room New York City,” this is the same answer: a managed, furnished room you can book for the exact length of your stay.

Why rent a room here

Rooms for rent in New York City, without the usual friction.

Renting a room in New York City the standard way means navigating three obstacles that have nothing to do with the room itself: a broker fee of 12–15% of the annual rent, a US guarantor and credit history that new arrivals rarely have, and a lease term that almost always runs twelve months whether you need it or not. For a stay measured in months (a semester, a summer, a work assignment), those three obstacles are the whole problem.

The furnished-room model at Amsterdam Place removes each one:

  • No broker fee. The buildings are managed in-house, so there is no broker in the transaction. The only cost at booking is a refundable deposit and the first billing period.
  • No US credit or guarantor. A document-based application (ID plus proof of your reason for being in New York) replaces the credit check and the guarantor letter.
  • No twelve-month lease. Four-week billing with a four-week minimum means you rent the room for exactly as long as you need it, from one month to a full year.
  • Furnished and all-inclusive. Bed, desk, storage, linens, plus utilities, gigabit Wi-Fi, and weekly common-area cleaning: one weekly rate, no separate bills.

Room types

Three furnished room types, one transparent weekly rate.

Amsterdam Place offers three furnished room types for rent, each all-inclusive and each billed in four-week increments. The private room with a shared bath is the most-booked option; the deluxe room adds space and storage; the studio with an ensuite bath is for renters who want a private bathroom. All three include the same all-inclusive utilities, Wi-Fi, and cleaning. The full detail (layouts, what is included in each, and current weekly rates) lives on the rooms page, and the pricing page sets out the rate for each. For renters who specifically want to avoid a broker fee, the no-broker-fee furnished room guide explains how the fee works and how the direct-rental model avoids it.

Frequently asked

Renting a room in NYC: questions answered.

  • The broker-fee-free paths to renting a room in NYC are: an owner-direct listing where the landlord lists the room themselves, a room in a friend or acquaintance’s apartment, or a coliving operator that manages its own building in-house. Amsterdam Place is the third kind: the buildings at 205 and 207 West 85th Street are managed directly, so there is no broker in the transaction and no broker fee. Furnished rooms for rent here start at $420 per week, billed every four weeks, with utilities and Wi-Fi included. A broker fee on a standard NYC room rental is typically 12–15% of the annual rent, so removing it saves a first-time renter several thousand dollars up front.
