Hi! Iโm looking for a friendly, professional roommate in their 30sโ40s to share my bright, calm 2BR apartment in Stuyvesant Heights, Bed-Stuy. The space is fully furnished (except your room), gets beautiful light, and is perfect for someone who wants a low-key, respectful home with a roommate they actually like:)
The lease runs through May 31, 2026 with the option to renew. Move-in is flexible - target is anytime between Dec 22nd and Jan 15th, with rent prorated based on your start date.
**The "gym" image is your room (it's the same room as the bedroom pictured with the small gold table.) I'm not exactly sure if the square footage is 900- it could be up to 1000. I'd classify it as a "comfortably-sized two-bedroom."
๐ฟ APARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
-2BR / 1BA in a 3rd-floor walk-up
-Central air, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances + lots of cooking equipment (the standards + air fryer, blender, juicer, etc)
-Fully furnished common areas + tons of natural light
-Bedrooms overlook trees; lots of great storage. (Each bedroom has a closet, there's a hall closet and a large (former) laundry room. Laundry is NOT in the building, but we're 3 blocks from a laundromat.
-Treadmill in the living room (youโre welcome to use!)
-Responsive property management
-1 block to the bus, 2 blocks to CitiBike, 15 min walk to the JMZ + A/C/E
๐ ABOUT ME:
Iโm a startup founder whoโs career-driven, active, and grounded. I rock climb, lift weights, Citi Bike around Brooklyn, cook a lot, and love podcasts, crafts, and board games. I mostly socialize outside the apartment, but would be excited to co-host a casual dinner or game night every month or two. I've lived alone for years, but have always been friends with past roommates and want to become real friends (who can also respect each other's space) with my new roomie!
I also have a wide range of dried herbs and spices, plus a mini indoor-herb garden that I'm happy to share:) Cooking together sometimes would be great too!
๐ซ WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW UP FRONT (NON-NEGOTIABLES)
-I'm looking for a friendly, fun, athletic working professional in their 30s or 40s. I am a woman and would prefer a female roommate, but am open.
-Must opt into monthly or bimonthly (every other month) cleaning service ($100/month incl. tip)
-Must work at least hybrid or in-office (NO FULL-TIME remote workers, sorry)
-No frequent overnight guests (occasional = fine; regular weekly overnight guests are NOT a fit)
-Apartment stays between 70โ75ยฐF (slightly cooler at night). If you run super hot or super cold (ie like it in the low 60s or 80s,) this would not be ideal. Of course, I can be flexible, but extremes to either end likely wouldn't work in the common areas.
-Your room is currently a gym (:)) ( but will be unfurnished when you move in; common areas are shared
-Move-in cost is $3,300 (first, last, and security)
-No cigarette smoking or vaping of any kind in the apartment (I occasionally light palo santo or candles, but no cigarettes or vaping indoors. Occasional weed smoking is fine)
-No hard drugs
-I drink alcohol sometimes and have a large spirits collection - if youโre sober or in recovery, this isnโt the right environment
๐ฐ RENT + MOVE IN INFO:
-Move-in cost is $3,300, covering first month, last month, and your portion of the security deposit. The landlord will amend the lease to reflect this split. Oct rent will be prorated.
-Utilities (electric, internet, etc.) are not included and typically run ~$100โ150/month per person, split evenly.
๐ THE LANDLORD REQUIRES:
-State-issued photo ID
-Most recent W-2 or tax return
-3 pay stubs and 3 bank statements
-$20 application fee
-Income of at least 40x rent (~$44K/year) or a guarantor earning 80x with a 700+ credit score
If youโre positive, communicative, respectful, and looking for a peaceful home with a fun, friendly roommate, Iโd love to hear from you. Send a quick note about yourself, what you do, and why you're interested. If it sounds like a good fit, we can schedule a time to speak.
