Artsy Black Queer Couple Seeking 1BR in East Bay (April Move-In)

Seeking Living Space

Available

April 1, 2026

Neighborhood

Bay Area, Oakland

Hi! My partner and I are looking for a new place to call home in the Bay Area this April. I relocated to the Bay Area from NYC last year and we currently live in a sublet in Berkeley that's coming to an end.

We’re open to a new lease, lease takeover, or long-term sublet, ideally in SF or the East Bay (Alameda County). Neighborhoods we’re especially drawn to include Lake Merritt, Rockridge, or Temescal in Oakland, or Berkeley areas that are far enough away from the UC campus lol.

Budget: Up to $2,400/month

Transparently, our credit isn’t great so we'd prefer no credit checks. We can provide proof of steady income, references, have strong rental history, and have successfully lived together for the past 6 months.

Our Wish List:
- Clean, well-maintained space that feels like home
- Within 10–15 minute walk to BART
- Dishwasher + garbage disposal (highly preferred)
- Laundry on-site or in-unit
- Minimal/no carpet preferred
- Good natural light (a plus!)
- Gas stove / functional kitchen
- Responsive, reliable landlord or management
- No history of pests or rodent issues

If you or someone you know has a lead, we’d love to connect. Thank you so much for reading and for any help!
