We are seeking a long-term subletter for our gorgeous Crown Heights apartment while we relocate to the Midwest for a year and a half. We absolutely love this place, which is why we want to come back to it, and we think you will too!

Specs…

- 2-bedroom apartment (which we have been using as a 1-bedroom with a dining room) at the corner of Lincoln Pl and New York Ave in Crown Heights

- Rent: $3,010/month, not including utilities (landlord pays water and heat)

- Sublease term: Feb 1, 2026 to Summer/September 2027 (ideally we have someone for the whole time, but let’s talk!)
We can leave furniture essentials depending on need

We love…

- Beautiful, historic Crown Heights townhouse with original details, including stained-glass windows, moldings, and cool tiles in the bathroom

- 3rd level of building, surrounded by trees

- Large — 1000 square feet!

- Light filled! 11 — yes, 11 — windows, including a bay window!

- 5 closets

- Transit-rich location — 5-minute walk to Nostrand Ave 3, 8-minute walk to President St 2/5, 13-minute walk to Franklin Ave 2/3/4/5, 15-minute walk to Nostrand Ave LIRR (easy JFK access!), 2-8-minute walk to the B44-SBS bus

- ~1 mile from Prospect Park, 4 blocks away from Brower Park

- Located on the 3x winning block of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest — lovely urban gardening!

Kind, fun neighbors in the building and on the block who always say hello

Good to know…

- This building is a community space owned by a historic organization called the Lincoln Civic Block Association. There is an unoccupied “lobby” on the first level where the Block Association holds monthly meetings and occasional holiday parties, which our unit is above

- The huge, luxurious bathroom has a funny location in between two rooms in the apartment

- There is no in-unit laundry, but laundromats 4- and 7-minutes’ walk away. There is no dishwasher

- The unit is not accessible, but located up 2.5 flights of stairs with no elevator
