Off-Campus Housing

Searching for an apartment in New York City can be challenging. Whether you are relocating from abroad, a current NYU housing resident, or considering a change of your current living situation, the apartment hunting process is often bewildering for even long time New Yorkers.

Although we do not provide actual off-campus apartments or legal advice, the Washington Square News has compiled these resources to support your search. We have outlined the search process in 10 steps and encourage you to review each one so that you are well prepared for your search.
