Hello! Looking for housing in neighborhoods in the north part of Brooklyn (Crown Heights & up) and between Downtown Brooklyn/Park Slope & Ridgewood. I'm also open to exploring Astoria/LIC! Would prefer to be near train lines 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, M, Z, N, R, & W.

If living with roommates, budget is ideally 1300. If a studio or 1 bedroom is available, ideal is 1800 but could be flexible for the right space!

My living preferences & lifestyle:
- Prefer a tidy home with a dishwasher, must be proactive about cleaning food waste
- I'd love to be able to decorate common spaces together
- I love watching movies, gaming, listening to music, cooking.
- I do like to host a party every once in a while (2-4 a year), but I'm always mindful & communicative with neighbors.
- 420 & drinking friendly, but no smoking in the house please
- Love a sunny place, would prefer not to have a ground floor or basement apartment

Housing with roommates:
- Would prefer to live with 2 - 3 more people ideally around my age and must be LGBTQUI+ friendly.
- My ideal living space would be something that has a large shared space, natural sun, and perhaps an extra bedroom for a shared office.
- I'd love to find a space where I can have a larger room with a separate bathroom (and would of course pay more). Looking to spend 1300, but could be flexible for the right space.
- I have plenty of furniture to get a space started!

Solo living:
- Could be flexible on price for the right space!
- I'm pretty handy and can manage small home repairs, so if you're the owner of the space and want to ensure it'll be well taken care of, you can count on me!
- I'm a big fan of community building so I love to get to know my neighbors.

About This Lister

I'm Rachel, a 31 yr old cis queer woman (pronouns she/her/they) looking for long-term pet-friendly housing or roommates to apartment hunt with for a March 1 move-in. I work in philanthropy on a hybrid wfh/office schedule. I'm also a NYC native and grew up in Queens!

I'll be moving with definitely one cat, but would prefer to move with 2 (I'm currently moving from a 2 cat household and the other person may not be able to take the second). They are both very sweet and playful, so if you want a cute cat household without the financial responsibility, I'm your gal!

Really looking for a new place to call home for at least a year. If any of this sounds of interest to you as an owner, subleaser, person or people looking for roommates, please reach out! I'm excited to meet you!
