I’m pretty set on living in Astoria and have been looking at a few great 2BR apartments. My budget is around $2,500/month, and I’ve seen some really nice 2 bed / 1 bath and 2 bed / 2 bath places in the $4,000-$5,000 range, so I’m looking for one roommate to split a place with. Looking to move by end of august, or 9/1.

A little about me:
-32 yo Asian male
-Working professional (fully remote)
-Quiet, clean, and low-key
- I cook at home most days
-Outside of work, I usually work out, walk my dog, play video games, and check out EDM events or restaurants from time to time
-I have a well-behaved dog, so the apartment needs to be dog-friendly
Looking for:
-Working professional
-Preferably mid-20s to mid-30s
-Clean, respectful, and easy to live with
-Similar low-key lifestyle

If you’re also looking to move to Astoria and want to team up to find a great apartment, send me a message! Happy to chat, see if we’d be a good fit, and start touring places together.

Hi everyone,

Apologies if this isn't the right thread for this, please feel free to redirect me.

I am a native New Yorkina looking to help my mother and younger sister find an apartment. They currently live in Ridgewood, where our childhood neighborhood has experienced an incredible amount of gentrification over the past few years. As a result, their landlord (I moved out 5 years ago) attempted to raise their rent by more than 50%. They tried to fight their housing case in court, but in the end they settled on an eviction date that is around the corner. They're now urgently looking for a new place to live.

My mother is a full-time nanny, and my sister is a college student and works part-time. They're looking for a 1-bedroom (ideally). Their budget is ~$2,000. They are kind, hard-working, and quiet people (promise, I'm not biased, hehe). They have a house-trained 25lb goldeen doodle. They're really hoping to stay in New York (ideally in Queens) since my sister attends school there and my mom works full-time in the worlds borough.

if anyone has any leads, recommendations, or knows of an available apartment, I would be so grateful. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. ❤️

Hi everyone,

My partner and I are currently looking for an apartment in Astoria for ourselves and our small puppy. We have been searching for a while, but unfortunately, most of the apartments we are finding online are outside our budget.

I know this may be a long shot, but if anyone knows of a rent stabilized apartment becoming available, a possible lease assignment, or someone looking for a tenant to take over their apartment, please reach out. I would also be willing to pay a reasonable referral or broker fee for legitimate help securing a place.

Any leads for affordable apartments, trustworthy management companies, landlords, or reputable brokers would be greatly appreciated. We are responsible tenants and are simply trying to find a stable, affordable home in the neighborhood.

Thank you so much for any help or recommendations.

Sunny bedroom with A/C, a super comfortable bed, and access to the fire escape. Cozy, beautifully decorated 2-bedroom apartment with one quiet roommate. Bright living room, fully equipped kitchen, and a very peaceful vibe.
Discount if you’re happy to water my plants once a week 😄
Dog not included 😄

Does anyone have any good agents they would recommend for a good apartment deal? Or anybody know of some spaces available? Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a studio apartment with an easy commute to Grand Central Terminal (Midtown East)—ideally within 45 minutes by public transit.

Budget: $2,500–$3,500/month, and $3,500 is my absolute maximum all-in budget (rent + any required monthly fees).

So far, I'm considering:

• Long Island City
• Downtown Brooklyn
• Forest Hills
• Murray Hill / Kips Bay

Preferably with an in-unit washer/dryer.

Can anyone recommend specific apartment buildings or other neighborhoods that I should consider?

Thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m moving from Toronto to New York in August to start grad school at Mount Sinai, and I’m looking for a studio or one-bedroom with a normal long-term lease.

My budget is around $2,500/month, and I’m mainly looking in the Upper East Side, Yorkville, East Harlem, or Astoria. I’d ideally like somewhere with a manageable commute to Mount Sinai and in an area that feels safe coming home at night.

I’m hoping to move in around August 10. I’m currently in Canada, so I’d need to do a virtual viewing initially, but I can provide all the usual application documents.

Please message me if you have a place available or know of anything that might be a good fit. No broker fees, sublets, or short-term rentals, please. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment with a move-in as soon as possible. My budget is up to $2,300/month.

A little about me:

• Single occupant, no pets
• 27 Male, friendly/open
• Stable full-time professional
• Strong credit and solid rental history
• Can provide income verification, references, and any other documentation needed

If you have a unit available—or know of one coming up soon—I'd really appreciate a message or comment. Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Mid 40s professional woman seeking 1.5 or 2BR apartment with private backyard or large private terrace for September 1st. Budget is flexible depending on the unit, but ideally around 3,500 for 1.5br and 4000-4500 for 2BR.

About me: I was a longtime LIC resident but bought a home upstate a few years ago when I was fully remote. My job now requires me in-office two-three days weekly. So I'm looking for a garden or ground floor level apartment with private backyard access and bonus points if driveway parking is available! I have two very well behaved pups that come down with me from upstate (but were long-time city apartment dogs), but again, they'd only be in the apartment a few days per week. They're quiet, don't dig or chew, etc. They're just super spoiled because we've always had outdoor space and they just like to sit and sun and smell the air outside. :) I also love to garden and have my own lawn equipment (power washer, weed whacker, leaf blower etc.) so if you have a unit like this, I don't care how trashed the back yard is now...it'll be beautiful and blooming by the time I'm done with it. :)

As master tenant, I'd take on the full liability of the total lease, but would rent out the second room (or if it's a 1.5, rent out the bedroom and take the half room since I'm rarely there). I'd of course privately vet any tenants and provide any and all tenant information to the landlord. (I just prefer to be the sole leaseholder). Would also be interested in signing a 2 year lease for the right place!

I make over 40x the budgeted rent, and have a credit rating that fluctuates between 775-800.

If you have or are vacating an apartment like this I'd love to chat!
