Choosing between coliving operators in New York City comes down to what’s actually included in your monthly rent — and what isn’t. This comparison breaks down SharedEasy and June Homes across pricing, services, locations, and resident experience using publicly available data as of March 2026.
⚠️ Important update: In November 2025, June Homes merged with Outpost to form OJH Holdings. June Homes contributes approximately 2,600 units to the combined platform and continues to operate under its own brand. All details below reflect June Homes’ current offering as of March 2026.
Quick Comparison: SharedEasy vs June Homes at a Glance
What Does “All-Inclusive” Actually Mean?
The most important difference between SharedEasy and June Homes is what happens after you see the advertised price.
With SharedEasy, the listed price is the final price. Rent, utilities, high-speed Wi-Fi, weekly professional cleaning, access to professionally managed coworking spaces, and 100+ fitness studios are all bundled into one monthly payment. No surprise charges, no utility caps, no separate service fees.
June Homes operates differently. Every NYC coliving lease now includes a required June Living membership — $249/month for Standard, $298/month for Premium. That membership bundles utilities, monthly common-area cleaning, renters protection, and 24/7 support into a single charge, which appears as a separate line item on the invoice alongside rent. The listed room price and the membership fee are always two separate numbers.
A June Homes coliving room listed at $1,275/mo comes with a required $249/month membership fee — a total floor of $1,524/mo before taxes. SharedEasy’s $1,190/mo is the actual total, with nothing to add to it.

What’s Actually Included in Your Rent
Even with utilities now included in the June Living membership, NYC residents should budget at least $249–$298/month above the advertised base rent for the mandatory membership fee. SharedEasy’s total cost is transparent from the first listing — one number, nothing to add.
Move-In Process: Deposit-Free vs Traditional
SharedEasy offers a streamlined, deposit-free option for qualified applicants — 10% of monthly rent instead of a lump-sum deposit. No application fees, no broker fees. 14-day trial period with free relocation if the house isn’t a fit. Minimum stay is 1 month.
June Homes offers fast digital approval in as little as 3 business hours. Upfront costs include first month’s rent and a one-month security deposit. Standard members pay a $20 application fee; Premium members have this waived at signing. June Homes offers a satisfaction window — 7 days for Standard members, 14 days for Premium — and will relocate you to another property at no additional cost within that window.
Cleaning Standards: Weekly vs Membership-Based
SharedEasy runs weekly professional cleaning across all properties — kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas, 4 times per month, every month.
June Homes includes monthly common-area cleaning as part of the June Living membership. The schedule is once per month.
Coworking and Fitness: Bundled vs Not Included
SharedEasy includes two services that most NYC residents pay for separately:
- Coworking access — Unlimited access to professionally managed coworking spaces in Manhattan (comparable to $200–$350/mo externally).
- Gym and fitness — Access to 100+ fitness studios across the city (comparable to $150–$250/mo externally).
June Homes does not include coworking or fitness access in any plan. These are entirely external costs for residents who need them.
Location Coverage and Scale
June Homes has a dramatically larger NYC footprint: 1,670+ active listings across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Their dynamic pricing model and large inventory mean there is almost always availability in a given neighborhood.
SharedEasy operates 30+ coliving homes across 7+ neighborhoods. All locations are within approximately 5 minutes of subway access. SharedEasy’s smaller, curated portfolio means more consistent community standards and service delivery.
