Verified rooms in the Upper East Side, near Hunter
Rooms on the Upper East Side and in Midtown — close to Hunter College and the 6 train.
Hand-checked rooms near Hunter for international students — real photos, company-operated buildings, no broker fees, and we arrange the viewing in person.
Hunter’s main campus sits on the Upper East Side, a classic, residential stretch of Manhattan along Central Park known for its museums and quieter side streets compared to Midtown just to the south. The 6 train runs directly through the neighborhood, with the 4 and 5 close by too, making it a fast, reliable ride to most of Manhattan. Expect tree-lined blocks, prewar apartment buildings, and Museum Mile within walking distance for a break between classes. It’s a more residential, less nightlife-heavy neighborhood than downtown, which some students prefer for a quieter place to study. Rooms in this cluster are typically private rooms in shared apartments — see what’s currently listed below.
Rooms we currently list near Hunter run about $4,200 to $5,300 a month. The 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R, and W stop nearby.
