We’re putting our apartment back on the market after a few renters fell through. If it seems like a good fit for you, please only reach out if you're confident you could take over the lease at the listed price and would be able to confirm either this week or next.

My roommate and I are moving out of our 2-bedroom apartment in Bedford-Stuyvesant (Stuyvesant Heights). The lease runs through the end of August, and we’re ideally looking for someone who can sublet from July and then take over the lease with a one-year contract starting in September.

Management is fully aware and supportive of us finding someone we feel would be a good fit.

The apartment is on the second floor of a fully renovated townhouse in a beautiful, historic neighborhood known for its tree-lined streets, peaceful atmosphere, and vibrant community. We’ve truly loved living here and are only leaving because we’re heading back to Europe.

Key Features:
- Neighborhood: Calm and charming, with excellent local restaurants, bars, and supermarkets. A great alternative to Manhattan, offering more space, more authenticity and a greener environment at a better price.
- Convenient Transit: A short walk to the Utica Avenue subway station (A/C lines)—just 5 stops (15 minutes) to Fulton Street in Manhattan's Financial District.
- Modern Amenities:
- Fully equipped kitchen
- Modern bathroom with bathtub/shower
- Bright living room with a sofa that converts into a double bed
- Two bedrooms, each with a double bed and desk
- Large windows with views of the back gardens from the bedrooms
- Central heating/AC
- Laundry in building (shared by tenants of all three units)

We’d love for the subletter (and ideally future tenant) to water our plants during July and August while we spend the summer with our families. It would also be amazing if you were interested in taking over some of our furniture with the lease, since we unfortunately can’t bring it with us to Europe. This includes two beds (one queen and one full), desks, desk chairs, and a sleeper sofa. If that’s not possible, we’ll aim to sell most of it by the end of August—so no worries either way! But if you’re genuinely interested, that might give you a slight edge.

If you're interested, feel free to reach out for more details or to schedule a viewing!

My roommate, Carla, and I are both investigative environmental journalism fellows at Columbia University's Journalism School. After a year in Manhattan, we’re so happy we made the move to Bed-Stuy and feel lucky to have found this cozy, modern and light-filled apartment. I’m from Germany, Carla is from Spain, and we’ve lived all over the world in recent years. We both love plants, staying active, exploring the amazing local restaurants, and cooking at home!
