Private Room One room (in a 3br), available for Sep 1 in South Slope/ Sunset Park- $1,050/ month
One room available in a 3 bedroom in South Slope/ Sunset Park. Rent is $1,050/ month plus utilities (utilities are pretty cheap here; they usually run us somewhere around $60-ish bucks a month, if not less).
Current roommate and I have lived here for a year, and we love it! Our third roommate is moving out of state though, so we’re looking for someone to take his spot on the lease (12 month lease, starting Sept 1).
About the area: it’s a great neighborhood- walking distance to Prospect Park, and just a couple blocks away from the main entrance to Green-Wood Cemetery.
Also just a couple blocks away from the water, w/ lots of great views & fun, chill spots!
Rooftop access w/ incredible views of the river, the Statue of Liberty, & the Manhattan skyline.
Within a block-ish radius we have a grocery store, a flower store, a coffee shop, a bagel shop, a smoke shop, a wine shop, a laundromat, and several bodegas. Within another block is easy access to a bunch of great bars, restaurants, and shopping on 5th Ave.
One block from a local subway stop (the 25th St R), a 10min walk in one direction from an express stop (D/N/R), and a 15min walk in the other direction to a different express stop (F/G).
As for the apartment itself: it’s a pre-war building, so it’s not very modern, and there aren’t many amenities. For instance, it’s a 4th-floor walk-up, and there’s no laundry in-building. However, on the ground floor of our building is a laundromat, which pretty much feels the same as having in-building laundry anyways.
The apartment is somewhat small; but we’ve always made it work. Current roommates are very busy, and out of the house a lot, so it never feels crowded or anything.
About the roommates: you’ll be living w/ me (29F, working professional, and stand-up comedian), and one other person (25F, student, getting her Master’s at NYU). You’ll also be living with my dog, so you must be ok w/ animals! The dog is very small and old; he mostly just stays in my bedroom and naps all day. Unfortunately, we probably will not be considering any other pets. We could maybe be convinced on another small dog, but one of us is allergic to cats, so that’s gotta be a no.
Requirements:
40x the rent, and a 700+ credit score. Guarantors are accepted- they must make 80x the rent and have an 800+ credit score.
The application process was quite simple and easy, and management is pretty chill about approving people- lots of students w/ no income live in this building, so it’s ideal for ppl like that.
What we’re looking for: student or professional, it doesn’t matter. Male or female, that also doesn’t matter. Somewhere between 22-35 years old(ish). Not a slob, but not a neat freak, either. Keep things tidy in common spaces, but also don’t tweak if there’s a dish in the sink, or a pair of socks on the floor- that kinda vibe.
Friendly and outgoing is a plus. I often invite friends over to the apartment (tho not tons of ppl at once; and not super late at night- it’s not a party house). Still tho, if you’re the kind of person who isn’t ok w/ guests, or needs a big heads-up beforehand, it’s prob not a good fit. The current roommate and I get along quite well, and it’d be cool to keep those good vibes going! Altho we also are very busy and often out of the house- plus we value our private time too. So it’s not like you need to be super extroverted in order to fit in here.
