Hi there! Want to live in the city but feel like you're living upstate? This is the place to be! The view shown in the photos (one from mid-September and one from late-November) is the view from all of the windows in the apartment - it is of Inwood Hill Park and the Hudson River. There are several playing fields and open lawns in the park, and many hiking trails up in the woods. Inwood is a homey, diverse, friendly neighborhood with lots of families and artists.

The move-in date is flexible in January. The sublease will be month-to-month, but a 3-month minimum is preferred.

I am renting out the second bedroom in my top-floor apartment, where I live with my calm, sweet, little dog (see photo). My current roommate is moving out, so you'll see her things in the photo, but the queen-sized bed and furniture comes with the room. It is a corner room, with three windows on two sides (so it has tons of light, and comes with black-out curtains). If you plan to stay long term, and prefer the room to be unfurnished, that is possible.

$150/month for your share of wifi, gas, electric, and shared household items (soap, toilet paper, water and air filters, cleaning supplies, etc) that I take care of managing.

In the living room, there is a large smart TV (hidden behind a curtain when not in use) and some home-gym equipment. In the kitchen, there are all of the usual tools as well as an air-fryer/toaster oven, pressure cooker, and Vitamix. The kitchen and bathroom were renovated with new appliances just before I moved in a few years ago.

Located in a very low-key and neighborly building, we have a laundry room in the basement, an elevator, and an excellent live-in super.

I like to keep a quiet, peaceful, welcoming, and clean home; I am looking for someone who prioritizes the same things.

My dog sheds very little, and is very friendly with humans (he will be happy to keep to himself unless you invite him to snuggle, which he will also love). While he is great with most dogs, no other pets are allowed.

About This Lister

I am a cisgender female in my mid-30s and use she/her pronouns. I work M-F outside of the apartment during the day, and am generally early-to-bed, early-to-rise for work (horticulture). I spend most weekday evenings walking my dog, going to the gym, cooking dinner, hanging out with neighbor-friends, and reading or working on a craft project. I am usually out on weekends and at least one night during the week. I am liberal, friendly, and I have several friends in the neighborhood (who you would certainly meet!). I have lived in Inwood for a decade, and I love it here! The park is gorgeous, the apartment is a rare gem, and my neighbors are the best :)
