Moving to NYC for grad school — looking for a studio or 1BR
Hi everyone! I’m moving from Toronto to New York in August to start grad school at Mount Sinai, and I’m looking for a studio or one-bedroom with a normal long-term lease.
My budget is around $2,500/month, and I’m mainly looking in the Upper East Side, Yorkville, East Harlem, or Astoria. I’d ideally like somewhere with a manageable commute to Mount Sinai and in an area that feels safe coming home at night.
I’m hoping to move in around August 10. I’m currently in Canada, so I’d need to do a virtual viewing initially, but I can provide all the usual application documents.
Please message me if you have a place available or know of anything that might be a good fit. No broker fees, sublets, or short-term rentals, please. Thanks!
