Hey there. I'm genuinely fatigued from scrolling all the usual sites after much effort trying to find the right 1-bedroom or large studio apartment. Can't say I've ever tried this approach, so it can't hurt. I'm Chris, a consumer tech journalist at Bloomberg and photographer who has lived around Brooklyn for a decade-plus. Recently had a short 6-month stint in Philly before heading back to NYC for a phenomenal job opportunity.
Looking *imminently* and open to living in most sections of Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Queens. Aiming to find a regular, tried and true one-year lease if the ideal spot comes along — but also not opposed to shorter-term sublets if it gets me to the colder months and (hopefully) an easier rental market.
Not picky about amenities. We'd all like a dishwasher and a decent amount of sunlight, you know?
Happy to provide references, credit report, proof of employement/salary, and the usual documentation.
I'm a 41yo journalist who has worked in media since 2011. I joined Bloomberg back in May after 13+ years at The Verge / Vox Media. Ambitious when it comes to my career. I also do a fair amount of photography, including concerts, food, and random street scenes that catch my eye.
Big music and movie collector. Fairly reserved. My partying days are long in the rear view mirror. Above all else, the goal is to find a spot to treat with care and consideration and make into a relaxing, rejuvenating home. Lucky to have lots of family nearby NYC, but currently single and apartment hunting solo.
