June Homes 11385, New York City – Decision Review
June Homes 11385 is a branded independent house located in the Queens area of New York City (ZIP 11385). It offers shared living with 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, and 5-bedroom units, all non-ensuite (shared bathroom and kitchen). This review helps you decide whether this residence fits your needs, based on price, room types, resident feedback, and booking considerations for the 2026–2027 academic year or work stay.
Who This Residence Suits
This property works well for students or young professionals who want a flexible, fully furnished room in New York City without signing a traditional 12-month lease. The minimum lease is 7 months, which is shorter than many standard NYC leases — ideal for exchange students, interns, or anyone on a temporary assignment. The listed monthly price range is USD 1,475–1,750 (indicative — confirm with the operator), which is moderate for the city but below many private studios or 1-bedroom apartments.
Residents who appreciate convenience will find value here. The property includes parking (an unusual perk in NYC shared housing), laundry facilities, and a refrigerator in the unit. The deposit is a flat USD 139 — much lower than the typical one-month deposit. The management company, June Homes, handles the move-in process and maintenance via their support team. Several residents report that the move-in was smooth and the apartment matched the listing.
This residence also suits people who value a clean, welcoming environment from day one. One resident commented: “The place was clean, comfortable, and felt welcoming from day one. Also, whenever I’ve reached out with a question, their customer service has always been helpful and prompt.” If you prefer a straightforward booking experience and a responsive support team, this could be a good fit.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
If you need a private bathroom (en-suite) or a studio apartment, this property is not suitable — all units are non-ensuite with shared bathrooms and kitchens. The house is a collective living arrangement; you will share common areas with multiple roommates.
Some residents have reported a mismatch between online photos and the actual condition of the unit. One reviewer gave 1 star and wrote: “June Homes showcase photos in their adds which is far off from reality. It is one thing that photos sometimes don’t match and it is completely different if they are selling furnished units to working professionals and taking a fee for cleaning.” If you are highly sensitive to exact furnishings or expect a pristine condition identical to marketing images, you may be disappointed.
Another factor to consider: the minimum lease of 7 months may still be too long if you need a stay of only a few weeks or months. If you need a shorter stay (e.g., 1–3 months), you would need to look for sublets or short-term rentals. Additionally, the property is located in Queens (11385), which is not as central as Manhattan or Brooklyn neighborhoods near major universities. Commute times to downtown NYC or university campuses should be checked.

Price Positioning vs the City’s From-Price
The city-wide from-price for student housing in New York City is USD 850 per month (the lowest available listing among 212 properties). That low price typically represents a shared room in a basic apartment or a dormitory bed. June Homes 11385 starts at USD 1,475 (indicative — confirm with the operator), which is about 74% higher than the absolute floor. However, that lower end often comes with fewer amenities, no parking, or a longer lease.
Within the price range of 1,475–1,750, you are paying for:
- A fully furnished room in a managed house with laundry and parking.
- A low deposit (USD 139) compared to the standard one-month deposit that can be USD 1,500+.
- Shorter lease (7 months) versus 12-month leases common in the city.
Relative to a private studio in Queens, which can cost USD 1,800–2,200+, this shared housing option is cheaper. But compared to other shared rooms in the city, the price is on the higher side due to the management service and amenities. If your budget is under USD 1,200, you would need to look at other properties or university housing.
Room Type Guidance
The house offers 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, and 5-bedroom units. All are non-ensuite, meaning you share a bathroom (typically one bathroom per 3–5 residents) and a kitchen. If you prefer a smaller household, choose a 3-bedroom unit; larger units (5-bedroom) give more common space but also more roommates.
Each room is private (bedroom with lock), but common areas are shared. The property is categorized as a “branded independent house” — essentially a professionally managed shared house. When booking, ask for the specific unit floor plan and the number of bathrooms per unit. Also confirm whether the room is furnished with bed, desk, and storage as described in the listing.
Booking Timing
For stays beginning in 2026 or 2027, start looking 2–3 months ahead of your intended move-in date. June Homes operates with rolling availability, so rooms may free up month by month. Since the property has 212 listings in the city overall, availability for 11385 may fluctuate. Given the mix of positive and negative reviews, it is wise to schedule a virtual tour or request current photos of the exact room before booking.
If you need a lease starting in August or September (typical academic year), begin inquiries in May or June. The 7-month minimum lease makes this property also suitable for a January-to-August stay. Avoid last-minute booking (less than 2 weeks out) as options could be limited.
FAQ
How does the deposit compare to other NYC rentals?
The deposit is USD 139, which is far lower than the standard NYC deposit of one month’s rent (typically USD 1,500–2,500). This makes it easier to move in without tying up a large sum. However, note that the deposit may be non-refundable in some cases — confirm the terms with the operator.
Is parking included, and is it safe?
The property lists parking as a tag. You should confirm whether it is a dedicated space or street parking, and whether there is an extra fee. Given the location in Queens, parking is more available than in Manhattan, but verify security and accessibility.
Can I stay for less than 7 months?
No. The minimum lease is 7 months. If you need a shorter term (e.g., 1–6 months), this property is not an option. For flexibility under 7 months, look for sublets or hotels.
