(Room is available for rent ASAP)
We are Eileen(29yrs), Alyana(26yrs), and a 5-year-old cat named Sage, looking for a third roommate to join our home. The apartment is in the heart of Bedstuy on a bustling block with plenty of small businesses like coffee shops, bookstores, and restaurants. Our neighborhood is a mix of longtime residents and younger folks. The building is shared with one other unit above us and our neighbors are also long-time residents. We put a lot of love and care into our space and are looking for someone who can contribute to that.
The room:
- Available December 1st with a move-in date range between 12/2-12/20
- Rent is $950/mo (heat and hot water included)
- A spacious 8'x14' room with 10' ceilings!
- Has a west-facing window with an A/C unit
- Small closet ( we have shoe storage and hooks for communal use in the hallway)
- Can fit a full/queen-sized bed plus enough furniture to feel personalized and cozy!
BONUS—In early 2025, an additional room of the same size (with more closet space) will be available for rent for an extra $675/mo. That’s a bedroom, workspace, or rec room for $1,625/mo! Applicants interested in this opportunity will be prioritized.
This rate is tough to come by for a room + apartment this size!
Wifi: $33/mo per person
ConEd: $50-$75/mo per person
Household items such as toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc., are paid communally and ordered every 2-3 months.
Our block is busy and can be noisy during the day and on weekend nights, but it usually quiets down after midnight. If you’re a light sleeper or can’t handle neighborhood chatter and a few sirens as background noise, this is not the place for you. It just takes some getting used to, we promise :)
Deal Breakers:
- NO PETS (but maybe a cat down the line?)
- NO homophobia, racism, sexism, isms of any kind
- NO crossing lines/boundaries between roommates
Our Ideal Roommate is:

- Pay rent and utilities promptly
- Don't bring the party or mess home after nights out
- Like your alone time but are open to chit chats and roommate hangs in the apt from time to time :)
- You are looking to settle down for a while and make this your long-term home :)
- Are responsible, communicative, considerate, and kind; know how to share space with others
