Your Next Home
I’m one of two roommates, and I’m moving out of our great 2-bedroom Prospect Heights apartment for a new job, so I’m looking for someone to take over my half of the lease. The room is available starting January 27, and you’ll get that last week of January free if you move in then. You’d be replacing me on the lease, which runs through August 31, 2025, with the option to renew. Just a heads-up, there’s a sweet little dog in the apartment, so you’d need to be dog-friendly, and this is a no-smoking home.
Your Room
The room is spacious and full of natural light—130 sq ft with two tall windows that let the sun pour in. It comfortably fits a queen or king bed, and there’s a walk-in closet for all your stuff. Plus, there’s attic space if you need extra storage. You’ll also have a brand-new GREE AC/heater unit with a remote so you can set it to just the right temperature year-round.
Our Apartment
The apartment is a cozy 500 sq ft on the third floor of a brownstone (just two short flights of stairs). It’s a quiet building with only four apartments, and the neighbors are super friendly and chill. The kitchen and living area are open, with a gas stove, oven, microwave, and a butcher block island that’s perfect for cooking. There’s one bathroom with a tub/shower that you’d share, and the living room has a big window overlooking a backyard garden where we grow and share veggies.
The living room also has a huge flat-screen TV, perfect for binging your favorite shows or watching movies. If you’re into cooking or baking, you’ll fit right in—my roommate MC loves to cook, so there are plenty of trips to Trader Joe’s and the occasional baked treat to share.
Transportation
This location is super convenient. We’re one block from the R train (Prospect Avenue station), one stop or a short walk to the F and G (4th Avenue/9th Street station), and just three stops to Atlantic Avenue/Barclays where you can catch just about every train. Our building is on18th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues.
Right across the street is a fantastic laundromat—open 24 hours, super clean, and well-managed. It’s got free Wi-Fi, free soap, and reasonable prices. There’s even a little space to sit and work if you need to multitask.
About Your Future Roommate
You’ll be sharing the apartment with MC, a queer documentary filmmaker in her late 30s, and her sweet terrier, Pepper. Pepper is a small, lovable dog who’s quiet and great with people. MC works from home during the day, usually heads out to the gym or park in the evenings, and is tidy and easygoing. She’s into good communication and keeping the space peaceful and uncluttered. Heads up—this is not ideal for someone who works from home as MC uses the shared space during the day.
What We’re Looking For
This is a calm, comfortable home—not a party spot. No smoking. We’re looking for someone in their 30s or 40s who’s dog-friendly, LGBTQ-friendly, emotionally mature, financially stable, and it would be cool if you were in a creative field. If you’re looking for a cozy, laid-back vibe, this could be a great fit.
