Hello everyone! We at Dean Street House are looking for a new housemate (one person, or a couple) to join our four-story communal home in Crown Heights, with a large room opening Feb 1st, 2026.

The available room is massive - practically the size of a studio apartment. It comes with the following amenities: its own sink, bay window, additional window, a walk-in closet, (plus a second walk-in closet type area with built-in storage), high ceilings, parquet floors, vintage crown moulding, elegant wood accents - the list goes on! Currently, a couple shares the room and there’s more than enough space for two according to them. Rent for the room is $1,586.72 for one person or $2,088.20 for two people. Utilities and food are split evenly among all housemates and generally run less than $400/month per person.

Dean Street is a communal space in which we share food, cooking, and shopping responsibilities, pet our resident cat Elvy, and occasionally host community events. Our shared spaces include a kitchen with dishwasher and gas range, three living rooms, a front porch, and a backyard garden. There are also three bathrooms (with bathtubs), a washer/dryer in the basement, spaces for storage, a deck on the second floor, and a piano for all to play.

We’re looking for someone who is friendly, creative, and excited about living in a house like ours. While we recognize that everybody needs privacy some of the time, we’re also looking for a roommate who wants to build community with us and is interested in shaping and contributing to our home. If you want a place to just come home and sleep in, this might not be for you. But if this sounds up your alley, write and tell us a bit about yourself using the interest form below.

We hope to hear from you soon!
