Most institution-run housing in New York is closed to people with “visiting” titles, and the private market screens on income and U.S. credit that an arriving researcher often does not have. The Upper East Side hub page compares 16routes that already exist — institution housing, university listing services, academic networks, student and intern residences, flexible rentals and the open market — with what each one’s own pages say about eligibility, stay length and paperwork, and lets you narrow them to your appointment dates.
