Could anyone let me know which of the NYC hospitals/programs provide housing for residents including the Brooklyn programs?

I know that Cornell offers subsidized housing for residents. Still kinda pricey (at least to a non-New Yorker like me) at ~$1000 for a studio and ~$1300 for a one bedroom, but supposedly at least $3-400 cheaper than comparable housing in the area (upper east side of manhattan).

Residents in the NYPH/Cornell programs get subsidized housing. I am not sure if housing is guaranteed for NYPH/Columbia residents, but some exists.

The rent comes directly from your paycheck. The amounts described above are accurate, although I would be surprised if you could get anything decent within a few blocks below $2k/month. The 10021 zip code is very expensive. NYPH will finish the new residency tower at 71st and 1st ave in January 2008, however I have heard that this will not be subsidized, just limited to hospital employees.

For Columbia, the 10032 zip code is more affordable; some live in a pleasant neighborhood in the the 180s, some live in the Upper West Side (70s-100s,) some live near the Columbia undergrad campus (Morningside, 100s-125,) and some live in Fort Lee, NJ across the bridge.

St. Luke's/Roosevelt has three buildings; two near Roosevelt at 59th and Amsterdam, and one near St. Luke's at 113th. Studios are $1000-$1400 for the downtown buildings and ~$1000 for the uptown building. 1BRs start at $1300 uptown, $1400 downtown.

Mt. Sinai has apartments and a residence hall around 96th st; I don't know more than that, the office can be contacted at (212) 659-9630.

Just to add my 2 cents: Please scratch St. Vincent's from the list of nyc housing programs. They had the most desirable housing, now its gone. You may even have to do rotations at other hospitals. Apply with caution, nothing is what it seems here.

Here's some St. Vincent's coverage in general; their plan for saving the hospital is to sell one of their buildings for condo development and use the money to build a new hospital. This is all very preliminary and the new hospital likely won't be finished until your residency is nearly done.

Manhattan: Hospital Group Clears Its Debt
By SARAH KERSHAW
Published: September 5, 2007

Two years after filing for bankruptcy under the strain of mounting debt, St. Vincent Catholic Medical Centers announced yesterday that it had managed to climb out of its financial hole. A federal court lifted the hospital company’s Chapter 11 status and approved a new financial plan on Friday, St. Vincent said. The move came as St. Vincent, which operates a hospital in Greenwich Village, a psychiatric hospital in Westchester County and several nursing centers, was preparing to open a new hospital in Manhattan, across the street from its Greenwich Village campus. On Friday, St. Vincent’s Midtown Hospital closed, the first to do so under a state commission’s recommendations for reorganizing New York’s hospitals. St. Vincent officials said their operating deficit in 2004, before the bankruptcy filing, was about $150 million. They project a 2007 operating gain of $10 million.

Just to clarify, the hospital has sold one of its buildings for condo development, and intends to sell its other remaining resident housing within the next couple of months. Residents in that building have already been told to plan on moving.

I'm also a resident at St. Vincent's, and everything you're hearing is true. The housing situation here is very bad, and it isn't the cheapest place to find housing on your own.

I did residency at New York Presbyterian Cornell, and the housing there is great. There are 4 buildings for residents, all connected to the main hospital by underground tunnels. You'll appreciate that in the rain and snow. In addition, since your rotations are at NYPH, Hospital for Special Surgery, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, you will be within a 3 block walk for all of your residency. The housing is not dirt cheap as mentioned, but it goes for about 50-67% of market value in that area. The 4 buildings are all different prices since they differ in age, appearance, space, etc.

Other hospitals also offer subsidized housing, but be sure to ask where it is in reference to the hospital, where your rotations are done (Sinai does some rotations in Elmhurst, Queens which requires a bus/subway ride), and if you get a chance, see the buildings on the interview. As we all know, NYC housing is enormously expensive for a resident's budget, so marry rich, invest well, or try to match into a program with subsidized housing.

Better yet, try to do all three.

Hey all,

Does anyone have any more detailed info on Mt. Sinai housing? How many buildings are there? and what are the ranges of prices for studio/1 bdroom (approx)? how much would getting non-subsidized housing cost?

Thanks

If I'm 100% single, low-maintenance and flexible what is the cheapest studio I could find within a reasonable distance, I'm not picky...

Also, about the hospital's problems I guess I will have to ask about that at the interview day. I have always wanted to live in Manhattan but it sounds like these problems are serious enough that the program is in danger of going under/on probation/losing accreditation? Should I be ranking other programs ahead of this one in the middle of nowhere just because of this issue?

Not too scared of paying 1500 or something a month for my own small ****ty apartment, I am a city person...

First of all, in this area even a tiny studio goes for $1700 or more, beleive me, i looked. Then add the cost of real estate agent (2months rent), along with gas and electric, and any accessories (cable, phone), and your monthly expense comes to $2100, which is for a small studio. I don't know what your fascination with St. Vincent's is based on, but there are other manhattan programs that offer housing and/or the option of moonlighting which can help with costs. (They're also not in bankruptcy) I suggest you rank those programs first, and if living in the city is of paramount importance, i know people that do a residency in brooklyn and live in the lower east side. Just something to think about.

How about Albert Einstein in the Bronx? Where is their housing located, in Riverdale or around the hospital?

 

[rsgillmd]

Maimonides has a lottery for hospital housing. They'll give you a stipend in your first year if you don't get hospital housing. It is subsidized and very convenient.

Hi future Doctors,

Here is a website that provides housing in the NY area out of Brooklyn available June 2017:
www.brooklyn11209.com

There areis no brokers fee. This site was set up for a few folks I know that rent rooms and apartments in one centralized location. There are no fees, these are landlords renting directly to tenants.
