How crash pads work?
 

How much do you guys usually pay for crash pads per month? How many people would be there at the same time and how many people are actually renting the crash pad? Also how far from the airport do you prefer to stay? (Within walking distance?) thanks everyone!

I've seen crashpads on both coasts. My EWR crashpad was 275ish if I remember correctly. I'm in LA now and have seen pads cost as much as 400ish a month!! So it really varies on the base.

I pay $175 a month for a crashpad. It is about 4 miles from the airport but everyone who stays here has a car.

It's a 2 bedroom and has a total of 6 of us (including the owner). Sometimes it's just me here, and sometimes there can be 4 of us. Just depends on the day.

The only airport that I know of where you can walk to work is MDW. Every where else will require a car or public transportation. Pricing will vary immensely by geographic location, demand and comfort level. Let us know where you are based and the collective should be able to give you some information.

I recently left a crash pad in DTW. It was a town house 10-15 minutes from the airport via Uber/Lyft. No public transportation available there. Cab would have probably been twice as expensive. Master bedroom had 4 beds at 170/ month. Only 3 other beds in the house so I was there by myself a majority of the time on reserve. Everyone else had a car and drove in.

Now I'm LAS based. One guy has a bunch of town homes 5 min bus ride ($2 each way) from the airport. Has a wide range of options from 170-400 depending on how much you want to yourself. He also does nighty room rentals for 35.

Shop hotels too. Would $35 per night which includes transportation be a good deal? Depends on location and how many nights you will stay obviously but shop around.

My crashpad in PHL is $250/mo. It's a 5 minute walk from the employee parking lot. There are 16 beds in there. There is usually a vacancy or two. At any given time there are usually 2-3 people there. I've had the place to myself several times and a few times there's been 5-6 people there.

You can easily walk from most around LGA within 10 min, just across Grand central pkwy bridge.

Paid 230 a month when i had one in PHL, the septra bus literally stopped in front of the place, I guess you could call it a house, was connected to other houses, had a cold bed, you want s cold bed, warm beds mean someone else has been sharing it. Cold means it yours, find a place if you can that has only a few people, under 10, the ace isn't packed and you're not fighting for a shower at 4am, proximity to airport also is key, taking a cab everyday can add up, public transport for the win!

$275 Kew Gardens. Between LGA and JFK.
$8 shuttles every 30 minutes to either airport. Or $11 Qcab.
Usually 1 other person here in mine.
I could get closer to LGA but this is a nice area with a lot of restaurants and the subway.
