About Off-Campus Housing Near Pace University
Pace University drops about 12,835 students into Lower Manhattan, with its New York City campus anchored at One Pace Plaza near the Financial District and the Brooklyn Bridge. There's no leafy quad here. The campus is the city, and students spill into the streets between City Hall, the South Street Seaport, and the waterfront parks along the East River. Residence halls cluster within a few blocks of class, and daily life runs on the subway, with nearly every line converging on the nearby Fulton Street and Chambers Street stations. The Setters cheer at games, but the real draw is the location: free museum days, public plazas, ferry terminals, and the parks at the island's southern tip are all part of the routine.
Pace University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Pace does not force freshmen off campus, and most first-year students live in one of the residence halls within a five-block radius of class, since finding your own apartment in Manhattan at eighteen is a tall order. On-campus housing is not always guaranteed for late applicants, and in rare cases Pace points new students to partner providers like third-party student housing services.
Off-Campus Eligibility
The real off-campus move usually comes junior or senior year. When you rent in New York City, brace for the toughest market in the country, with many apartments being walk-ups split among roommates.
Lease Timing
Landlords often want proof of income at 40 times the monthly rent or a guarantor, plus first month, security, and sometimes a broker fee, and leases almost always run 12 months. Watch for rent-stabilized versus market-rate units, confirm what utilities are included, and never wire money for a place you have not seen in person.
