We’ve already filled you in on New York Habitat accommodations for the French Open, and as any good tennis fan knows, the Grand Slam event’s next stop is in New York for the US Open. Held each year in Flushing, Queens, the US Open attracts thousands of tennis fans from around the world. This year’s tournament will be held from August 25th to September 7th, an exiting time for sports fans in New York–baseball season is nearing a close, and football is just around the corner. Hotel’s near the stadium raise their prices through the roof during the tournament, all the more reason to look into a New York Habitat rental accommodation.

As of now, tickets for the US Open are still available. Those not lucky enough to score tickets can sneak a peak at the next great tennis champion during the qualifying tournament, taking place a week before the proper tournament and offering free admission. The hard-court playing surface of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is fast, making it difficult to return a nasty serve. Roger Federer has won 4 straight US Open titles, it will be interesting to see if he can defend his title this year, while the women’s side is wide open–there has been a different winner each of the last seven years. The Queens location of the tournament puts in in the geographic center of New York City and is easy to access from anywhere in the city. Here are a few suggested rentals still available for tournament time:
-This cute 1-bedroom apartment rental in Jackson Heights, Queens (NY-11830) is a short distance from the site of the US Open. The apartment features hardwood floors and can accommodate up to four tennis fans.

-This studio in Midtown West-Chelsea (NY-11538) is steps from the 7 train, with direct service to the park at Flushing Meadows. The apartment has a wall of exposed brick and retro wallpaper in the kitchen.
-This 2-bedroom rental accommodation in Midtown West-Chelsea (NY-12496) is also on the 7 line, but offers a lot more space. Considered by New York Habitat agents to be a model apartment, the flat sports modern design touches and has an open feel–not to mention an onsite gym and rooftop terrace.
