About the House

Renting a room in Harlem can be as confusing as it is expensive. Of course, you already know this to be true. As you continue to search for the right place to rent, moving to NYC might start to feel impossible.

That can all change when you take a closer look at Upper Manhattan House. A renovated building in the heart of Harlem, a room here offers everything you need at a price that you’ll love. The room you rent will be move-in ready, and the building will deliver the charm and character you’d expect in this historic place.

Walking to the nearest subway station takes just five minutes from Upper Manhattan House. But there’s plenty to do and see in the neighborhood without even hopping on a train. Walk to a meal at Sylvia’s or Renaissance Harlem, and finish the night with entertainment at the Apollo Theater or drinks at Musette Wine Bar.

Don’t let your NYC dreams fade due to high rent prices and confusing lease terms. We keep things simple at Outpost. Clean, modern, spacious rooms in a community atmosphere. Schedule a tour today or start your application to see what we have to offer.

I’ve had a great experience with Outpost Club. Evans, my main contact, has always been very responsive and available whenever I needed assistance. Recently, I had to be relocated urgently to another one of their properties, and everything was handled quickly, smoothly, and in the best conditions. I really appreciate their professionalism and support!

I have been staying at the Atlantic house since May 27. It's been a great experience. The house is great, my roommates are excellent people. The house leader, Justin, was really helpful, very clear, always present, we had to get our smoke detector battery changed in his was there in less then 10min. He also is always setting gatherings for everybody in the building. It's been truly a wonderful experience

I had a great experience with Outpost. After a lease takeover fell through we were put in contact with Ashley, and a week later we had a new place found and lined up! Ashley was super helpful sharing options with us, providing photos and 3D tours, and being super responsive helping us with any questions throughout the process. I had a great experience with Outpost and would highly recommend.

FAQ

What is coliving?

Coliving is a shared housing model. Tenants, whom we call members, share kitchens, living rooms, and other common spaces with all members, and have a private or shared bedroom. Cleaning of common/shared areas and supply restocking are provided as a complimentary service.
Most of what you need — furniture, kitchen supplies, most events — is included in one flat fee.
How does Outpost Living membership work?

If you rent a Coliving Room in New York City, Standard membership is required and billed on the same invoice as your rent as a separate line item at $249/month. Premium is an optional upgrade for +$49/month.
Standard includes utilities management, 24/7 support, monthly common-area cleaning, community events, partner discounts, renters protection, and a 7-day satisfaction guarantee.
Premium adds a 14-day satisfaction guarantee, priority support, early move-in eligibility, job-loss/visa protection, a free return stay, repair discounts, and credit-building benefits.
You can upgrade to Premium during your stay, subject to eligibility and timing restrictions. Your membership continues with your lease when you renew.
How are Outpost homes organized?

Each Outpost house can include multiple apartments, and each apartment can include several private rooms.
When you rent a room, your room is private, while spaces like the kitchen, living room, and bathroom may be shared with the other people in your apartment.
Amenities can vary by house, apartment, and room. Some amenities belong to the whole property, while others are specific to your apartment or your room. Check the listing details to see exactly what's included in the home you choose.
What's included in my rent?

Your room comes move-in ready with a bed, furniture, and kitchen essentials. You also get common-area cleaning, supply restocking, workspace access, security features, and most community events.
Utilities and WiFi are included in your monthly payment and shown as a separate line item on your invoice.
Are couples allowed?

Yes! At most houses, there is just a $250/month surcharge for couples or any situation in which two people are sharing a private room. There are some instances where we can not allow couples in a specific apartment in order to maintain a proper number of tenants in a given apartment.
Why are there no addresses for your houses on the website?

For the security of our current members living in our spaces, we do not reveal the exact address of the spaces until you receive an offer. All of our houses are within a 10-minute walk of a subway line.
Guest policy?
Your space is yours to share. Whether you're hosting friends, family, or someone special, you're welcome to have overnight guests for up to 8 nights total per calendar month.

Just a few things to keep in mind:
- Register your guests: Add every overnight guest to your tenant portal before they arrive.
- Guests under 18: You'll need written approval from our team before they stay overnight.
- Extended stays: From the 9th night in a calendar month, your guest may be considered an additional occupant, with an extra occupancy fee.
- Partners living with you: If your partner primarily lives in your apartment, a $250 monthly surcharge applies, prorated from the date we determine they've moved in.
For longer stays, we may ask your guest to provide ID and agree to a background check. We also reserve the right to decline any guest as an additional occupant, with or without a stated reason.

Planning to have someone stay longer? Reach out to our team so you know what to expect.
Animals/Pets?

Pets aren't allowed in Outpost homes. Verified support animals are welcome in accordance with applicable requirements.
