It is the second floor of a two-story walk-up, about .3 miles from the 46th Street M/R station. You would be taking over the smaller of the two bedrooms (~10ftx16ft plus a large closet, with many large closets in our shared space), with shared bathroom, kitchen, and living spaces. We also have a small rooftop patio that can fit ~4/5 people comfortably. The shared spaces have air conditioning, but you would have to provide a unit for your room (I am willing to sell mine!). We do not have laundry in-unit but there are laundromats at both ends of the block.
The people living downstairs have a dog and a small infant, but I have allergies to animals and so we would not be able to have any animals (except for fish, reptiles, things that do not produce dander).
I'm Sam (he/him) a 30-year-old queer teacher in Astoria looking for a roommate as my roommate (my twin) is moving into Manhattan in May.
Likes: Theater of literally any form, punk and indie music shows (I try to see at least one show a week somewhere in the Williamsburg or Greenpoint areas).
I am queer and would love for another queer person, or someone with strong connections to queer communities.
I have begun developing my relationships with the community (Astoria Food Pantry, Zohran Mamdani for Mayor, etc.) and would love someone connected to those groups as well. I am Jewish and have been involved in the Free Palestine movement and would like someone who is at least sympathetic to these challenges.
Note from Hannah (the twin) : Hi! I absolutely loved living this apartment and with Sam! He is an incredibly thoughtful, nice and welcoming roommate. This apartment....is like a real apartment. Rooms! Closets! A dishwasher and normal sized oven! This is such a great space.
I am the current tenant, been here almost two years.
The rent is $1,050/month, with utilities typically coming in at ~$100/month. The landlord will ask for First Month and a Security Deposit as of signing the lease, and will also be asked to pay a rental application fee of $20, which includes a background and credit check, among other administrative fees.
