We are seeking a roommate to join our lease starting October 1st, 2024 (lease ends September 1st, 2025). Our home is a very spacious duplex on the second and third floor of a house in northeast Bed-Stuy. We have a large living room and kitchen, a backyard, and an in-unit washer/dryer (!). The apartment is a 6-bedroom but we are 5 roommates total—we use the 6th bedroom as a shared art studio and workspace. The house is a 7 minute walk from the J/M trains and close to multiple bus lines. Our neighborhood is quiet and residential, but we live within easy walking distance of cafes, restaurants, and bars in Bed-Stuy and Bushwick, and we’re a 15 minute walk from Herbert Von King park. We love living here ♥
The room available for rent is on the second floor, has a large closet, faces the backyard, and gets beautiful direct sunlight throughout the day (especially in the mornings)! The accompanying studio desk/storage space is included in the pictures posted.
A bit about us: two of us are cousins, all of us are friends, and three of us have been roommates for multiple years! We’re all queer women and have a preference for living with other queer folks. We’re all in our mid-twenties and are seeking a roommate in their mid-20s or 30s. I’m a musician/artist/writer currently working at a music bar and as a studio assistant, C works at a reproductive justice non-profit and loves to quilt, M is a painter who recently moved here from Santa Fe, and L works in film as a sound-designer and producer. We’d love to live with other creative people, though that’s not a requirement :) We all have busy schedules, but we also enjoy and care about living in community—we’re looking for someone who feels the same.
