Room for rent by Sarah in Park Slope, New York in Jul 20 -$1,200

Available Room for Rent

30 sq ft - 1 huge bedroom available in sunny Prospect Heights 3-bedroom apartment

Hi there,

Our current roommate is moving out of NYC, so my other roommate and I are looking for a third to join us in an amazing, sunny 3 bedroom pre-war apartment in Park Slope beginning on July 1st for a year, minimum, though long-term/longer is ideal.

It's a second floor walk up in a small building (4 units total); and it takes up the entire floor.

Move-in date is July 1st.

DESCRIPTION:

The apartment is a large 3BR (1200 sqft) with plenty of common space -- a large dining room, a living room, and an additional small 4th room with glass doors (as pictured) near the front of the apartment which we currently use as an office; landlords only want 3 people max though. No live-in significant others; no pets.

The apartment is beautiful (high ceilings, parquet wood floors throughout, large kitchen w/ small dishwasher) and in a great location -- 8th Ave and 6th st in Park Slope, 1 block from prospect park, 3 blocks from the F/G, and about a 12 minute walk to the 2/3 and B/Q trains. Heat and hot water is included in the price of the rent so the usual electric, cooking gas, and internet costs would be split evenly among us three. Laundry (quarters) is available in the basement with a small amount of storage space as well.

Your future bedroom (pictured as both furnished and unfurnished): 11 ft long, over 9 ft wide. Window, largest closet; note that the closet cuts into the measured space so where your bed fits would be 11 ft long by 6 ft wide.

ABOUT US:

I've been living in New York more or less since 2007, having moved to the city for college at NYU; this summer we'll have been 4 years in this apartment. The great thing about this building is that rent doesn't have a history of increasing (granted that could change in a heartbeat), so I'm looking for folks who won't throw parties so that we can reap the benefit for the long-term.

I don't smoke; I don't have pets; I usually don't have friends over, and I think home should be a quiet, calm sanctuary -- that's clean. So to keep us all honest, we'd have a weekly or bi-weekly rotating chore chart for the common areas. If you'd like to get a cleaning person in monthly, too, we're game. We've had an affordable cleaner come every now and then.

I'm 30s/f, work in publishing in Manhattan, always trying to conquer reading in the evenings and weekends (to drive home the quiet sanctuary bit!) and your other roommate is 20s/f who works in online marketing.

In non-covid times, I'll usually catch a gym class, grab a drink, or do work after, so I'm in and out and we're looking for roommate who likewise keep a busy schedule. I'd look forward to home being a peaceful place to detox during the week when there's downtime, and we'd be game for grabbing the occasional drink when we happen to be at the same place at the same time (if and when the world goes back to normal).

ABOUT YOU:

You're down for sanctuary, you're respectful, and the above sounds good to you. And in addition to communal space cleaning you're also not above taking out the building's trash and recycling with me one week a month (again super small building and the tenants rotate) or help shoveling in the winter.

Further to the above, you're in your late 20s or 30s and you're respectful. We don't have to be friends, but we want the atmosphere to be friendly as we share our amazing and enormous common areas. We're also looking for folks whose schedules/morning routines line up for all so we can make 1 bathroom for 3 people work.

Financials: You should be down to share your last 3 payment stubs with me. You’ll be on a sublease; I'm the lease holder. We are looking for first month’s rent and security ($1200), so $2400 upon move in.

NEXT STEPS:

We'd love to hear from you with your interest.

To that effect, please share the following items in your email response:

1. About you and why you're moving. Please share any social media links in that description.

2. About your morning routine (again, which is really important with one bathroom for 3 people) in non covid and covid times.

3. What you're looking for in a roommate/living situation. What you're not looking for in a roommate/living situation.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
