Heya! I'm looking for a lease takeover for my lovely apartment located in the Kerns neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, for something in New York during August and/or September. I'm also open to a permanent swap if you're looking to relocate to Portland (I'm trying to move to New York). The lease takeover would be in sometime at the end of October/start of November, I don't have concrete dates yet.

I've lived in Portland for three years and in the Kerns neighborhood for six months. I adore this part of town; it's close to some amazing restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, bars, and cute shops. It's right off NE 28th and Sandy, which are major streets with a lot of things to do. It's easy to get downtown via bus; the closest stop is only a 5-minute walk away!

This apartment is a 3-floor walk-up located in a historically preserved building. It's got a lot of character, my favorite being the arched windows leading to the balcony. It's a studio apartment, with rooms for a closet and storage. There's a pretty spacious and well-stocked kitchen with an in-unit combined washer/dryer. There's also a free washer and dryer unit located in the basement, along with bike storage.

Amenities included:
Mocha pot
Coffee grinder
Ninja Blender & Food Processor
Ninja Ice-cream maker
Essential cooking utensils (Stainless steel pans, knives, bowls, etc.)
Record player with a growing but diverse record collection
Queen bed
HP monitor

I'm not sure about the square footage, probably 600ish.

Rent is $1625 (this includes water & electric). Gas is separate and usually averages to $50/mo.

I'm looking for someone quiet, kind, and willing to be respectful of my space and things. Open to doing a FaceTime walkthrough as well. E-mail me if interested!

About This Lister

I'm a digital product designer working remotely. I've lived in this apartment for about 6 months, and it's been so fun furnishing it and making it my own, but I moved in with the sense that I would eventually be leaving Portland either this year or early next year. I want to spend some time in New York getting a feel for potential neighborhoods and hopefully finding permanent housing.

Lister's Relationship to the Space

I am the current tenant

Rental requirements

One month's rent deposit.

If you're interested in either the swap or lease takeover, please let me know, and we can arrange a suitable date. If we're swapping, the rental fee does not apply. That's only applicable if you're interested in taking over the lease.
