Looking for a roommate to fill one of the bedrooms in my 3BR apartment on the Upper East Side on 96th Street and Lexington Avenue (153 East 96th Street).

Rent is $1,750 per month on an existing lease (This is a sublet and you will not be signing the existing lease), and utilities are generally between $75-$100 per person per month which includes high speed 1 gigabit internet and electric (cheaper in the winter). The room is approximately 140 square feet and measures 11'2" x 12'6". It's nice and spacious with room for a queen size bed, work desk, seating area, and large dresser. The room comes with a window AC unit installed and is unfurnished upon move in.

I'm looking for a roommate to rent the room starting September 1st with an open ended stay. I'm not looking for someone who wants a short term stay. Ideally you'd move in with the intention of staying for at least a year minimum. Please do not inquire if you are looking for a short term sublet for only a few months.

The building is located 30 feet from the 96th st. 6 subway station and two blocks away from the 96th st. Q subway station. The unit is on the 4th floor in the back of the building and away from street noise. There is an elevator in the building as well as a Hercules operated laundry room in the basement that has refillable cards that you can use a credit card to refill.

This is a very spacious apartment with a separate, nicely sized kitchen with a dishwasher, a large dining room, living room with tv, and 1 full bath.

There is a $1,200 security deposit to be returned whenever you decide to move out.

Please send details about yourself or any questions if you are interested. I'm happy to put you in contact with any of my past roommates to use a reference for myself and for the apartment.

420 friendly :)

About This Lister

I'm a professional who has lived in this apartment for 10 years. I am a freelance video editor so I work from home. I'm a live music junkie and go to a lot of shows around the city, and am very into sports, so usually am watching sports in my room when I'm home. My other roommate is a Chef working in a Manhattan restaurant working Monday to Friday until around 11pm. Looking for a clean, low-key roommate. Not particularly interested in people who want to throw parties and invite lots of people over to the apartment.
