The Bronx is New York City's northernmost borough, home to Fordham University, Manhattan College, Lehman College, and SUNY Maritime. Student housing clusters by campus, with each school anchoring its own surrounding neighborhood. Most students start their search a year in advance, and leases typically run either 10 or 12 months depending on the landlord.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I look for off-campus housing?
Most students start their search a year in advance. The biggest wave of leasing happens August through November, with a second wave running January through March. Apartments in the most popular student neighborhoods fill quickly, so the earlier you start touring, the more options you'll have.
What neighborhoods do students usually live in?
Most Fordham students live in Belmont — the dense neighborhood just east of the Rose Hill campus along Arthur Avenue — or in Bedford Park to the west. Manhattan College students cluster in Riverdale near that campus on the borough's northwest side. Lehman College students tend to rent in Bedford Park, Norwood, and Kingsbridge nearby. SUNY Maritime is on Throggs Neck on the far eastern Bronx, with most students living on campus or in the surrounding neighborhood.
Are utilities typically included in rent?
It depends on the landlord — every property is different. Some rentals include water and trash, others bundle in heat or internet, and many leave all utilities separate. Always confirm exactly what is included before signing, and ask for a recent utility average if heat or electricity is not covered.
Are leases 10 months or 12 months?
Both are common — it depends on the landlord. Twelve-month leases run the full calendar year and are typical for annual rentals, while ten-month leases align with the academic year for students who go home over the summer. Always check the exact lease start and end dates before signing.
Is Empire Off Campus free to use?
