Looking for a roommate 32M

Hi there!

Looking to move to Manhattan some time this month/early December. Will be working near Tribeca, so trying to live somewhere in LES, EV, Greenwich, etc. I’m pretty open to location, but I’m not too familiar with the city as I’ll be moving from AZ.

About me: 32m I have a small dog (he’s 13 y/o) who spends most of his day asleep on my bed. I’ll be working in the office at least 3 days a week. Budget of < 3500.

I’m a big proponent of keeping shared spaces clean, respecting each other’s stuff, etc. I’m open to roommates of any race/gender/sexuality.

Feel free to DM to see if we vibe! Also open to any general suggestions of where to live!

Dec 1st Move In Roommate Needed

Hi all! My roommate (26F) and I (23F, trans) need a 3rd to sign onto our 3 Bed in Crown Heights. We’re currently Subletting, and will be signing onto a year lease.

The third room that needs filling is small and priced at $900/month. The apartment itself is spacious and is very close to the 3, 4, and 5 trains.

As roommates we’re queer friendly, 420 friendly, pro-Palestine, and my roommate has a dog who’s well trained and friendly but can’t do other pets.

If this sounds of interest to you then please reach out!

26(F) looking for a roommate

I’m looking for a roommate. Women only. I’m looking to move to either Brooklyn or queens. I work in the city so I need something close to a train. Preferably a 2 bedroom. My budget is around $1k. I’m pretty introverted. I go out here and there. I like to cook, read, listen to music. I’m very clean so I need someone who cleans after themselves and who is respectable. I don’t mind guests but strangers in and out the house all the time is a no go for me. 4/20 friendly (no cigarettes though)

unclear HPD rule

hi hi, my self and my flatmate are currently apartment hunting and we came across a HPD rule from the broker. They mentioned we don’t qualify to apply for the unit as a household because we’re not already on a lease together; we couldn’t find anything about this online. does anyone here have experience with this?

Looking for room mate

Hi! I’m looking for a room mate to join me in finding a place for December 1st. My max budget is 1,500 so total rent would be 3k between us two . I’m ideally trying to find a place in Williamsburg, LES, UWS/UES.

About myself: I’m currently working remote and looking to move back to the city because I’ve found job opportunities that pay more. I’m most likely going to be working from home until further notice from hiring managers. Then will most likely be going in office more.

On my free time I like to go to the gym, play video games, or lay in bed a lot of the time. On weekends I’ll make an effort to go out and have fun but that’ll be like once or twice a month. I like to keep shared spaces as clean as possible and expect whoever I room with to also want to be clean and respectful. I keep to myself majority of the time but always down for an adventure. Also 4/20 friendly

I work as a salon assistant and I have one cat and planning to get one more when I move out! Please dm me on ig if you’re interested! My ig handle is @rianib0z0

Roommates Wanted! Immediate Move-In ($3,300): 3-Bedroom, 1-Bathroom Apartment in East Williamsburg

Hi there!

I recently found a fantastic 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment in East Williamsburg for $3,300. I think this is a great deal and I am looking for one or two roomates to sign a lease with.

*The extra bedroom could serve as your own personal office if it’s just the two of us.*

About Me: I’m a 29-year-old female with a MAX budget of $1,400. I have good credit and a solid rental history.

I believe in fostering a clean, respectful, and welcoming living environment, so good communication is really important to me. I welcome all genders, ages, and backgrounds, as long as there’s emotional maturity.

I'd like to provide most communal furnishings. I’ve curated my current space over the years and would be sad to let it all go. Note: I do not own a TV so please feel free to bring one if this important to you!

I’m clean, quiet, and organized, with an eclectic minimalist style. I rarely have guests over, but when I do, it’s usually for a casual catch-up over a glass of wine. I enjoy cooking simple meals—mostly rice and fish—but I have no dietary restrictions. I work as a leasing consultant in Manhattan if it's important to know!

About My Cats:

  • Kimchi: An 8-year-old calico who loves attention on her terms and prefers not to be picked up.
  • Kat: A 14-year-old tabby who enjoys being held and is very affectionate.

You’ll often find them lounging around or napping in cozy spots.

Apartment Details:

  • Location: Private gated community in prime East Williamsburg, close to coffee shops, restaurants, and nightlife.
  • Transport: Just a 6-minute walk to the Morgan Ave L train.
  • Features:
    • Spacious living room
    • Beautiful hardwood floors throughout
    • Modern kitchen with a skylight, ample cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances
    • Massive outdoor space shared with only one other unit
  • Additional Details:
    • No broker fee
    • Available now
    • Guarantors accepted
    • Pets considered on a case-by-case basis
    • Dedicated parking available (please inquire for pricing)

Hoping this finds the right people! Feel free to DM me :)

ME

I've lived in NYC since 2006, grew up in Ohio and attended Ohio University.

I work as a freelance producer and bartend 2-3 days a week in the area.I'm clean but not picky about small things.

I will leave something on the table, but dirt isn't my friend.

420 Friendly outdoors, respectful of others.

I'm sensitive to heavy synthetic perfume and scents, if you wear cologne or perfume daily, it might not be a good fit.

I love to garden and play softball in Prospect Park.

Prior to living here, I successfully & legally Airbnb'ed my second bedroom for 3 years just down the block until my landlord sold the building.

This is my favorite neighborhood in all of New York City because of its proximity to nature, great food, cultural events and amazing neighbors.

Please reply with more information about yourself and sublet needs as well as questions you might have. I will not reply to impersonal messages or is this available.

If it's posted, it's available. We should be getting laundry in the building in the next few months, which is included in the rent.

Master Bedroom/Private Bathroom or Small Room Sublet - Chelsea/Hudson Yards

Bedroom Available 12/01/2024 - 08/31/2025

Current roommate has to move back home so looking for a guy to take his room for the remainder of the lease. The location is amazing, close to Penn Station and MSG but on a street that isn't too busy. Short walk to Hudson Yards and the Highline.

Bit about the apartment itself: Decently sized kitchen with dishwasher. Huge L couch in the living room. MASSIVE private patio. Currently have it decked out with a TV and huge projector screen for movies/sports haha. Master bedroom (your room) is by far the biggest and it has its own private bathroom. Sadly no W/D in unit but there is a laundromat close by. I also pay for a laundry delivery service that is about $30/month for 2 loads so not bad.

Bit about ourselves: I (26M) currently work in tech in partnerships/product manager role and the other roommate (24M) is in finance/revenue at a CPG. I mostly work from home but he goes to the office. Both of us are super big on sports (college football, NBA/NFL, anything fantasy related lol) and you will find us on the patio most weekends just binging games. We like to keep the apartment pretty clean if possible and are quiet during the weekdays, but will have a good time on the weekend (bar hopping, some BK EDM scenes, beer die/pong, but nothing too outrageous). Would also love to join some VOLO sports leagues, roommate is big on basketball and I rowed D1 in college. Down for anything.

Neither of us smoke or do drugs. Don't really care if you do, as long as its outside and not heinous haha.

Ideally you are similar to the above! DM me and we can trade socials/see if there could be a fit. Happy to provide more info/pics as well! :)

As a side note, there also is an idea of me taking the master, and you taking the smallest sized bedroom, in which case your rent would be closer to 1.8k/month. However there is not room for a desk in that room. Can provide more details here if you are interested.

Address: 340 9th Ave, New York, New York, 10001

StreetEasy listinghttps://streeteasy.com/building/340-9-avenue-new_york/1

Bedroom Rent: $2.3k/mo - It's the master bedroom, and has a bathroom attached.

Total Rent: $6k

Lease Terms: You would be subletting from my friend for the remainder of the lease, starting December. Subject to a credit check/pre-approval from the landlord and the roommates.

Chelsea Bedroom Available // $2.3k

Bedroom Available 12/01/2024 - 08/31/2025

I have to head back home for personal reasons and my room is now up for grabs. It’s an amazing spot to be, since it’s right next to Hudson Yards and close to Penn Station.

The roommates are amazing guys. One commutes to work in Jersey City, and the other works remote. There’s a terrace for when the weather gets better, a ton of really good food around the area, as well as night life around if you’re interested in that. There are a couple gyms within walking distance (less than 10 min away).

(21M) Looking for roommate(s). Likely moving around mid to late December. $1000-$1500 budget

I am extremely easy going. I was in the military so I was used to bunk beds in rooms with 50-90 guys at a time. Looking for a 2 bedroom or more apartment based on the amount of roommates. I really don't care what you do as long as you mind your own business. I'm introverted and keep to myself but have no problem talking. At most I'm willing to live 1hr away from the city but the closer the better.
