Looking for a roommate for a one-year lease starting Oct 1 on the second floor of a welcoming two-bedroom one-bath walk-up apartment located two blocks from the Bedford-Nostrand G stop in Bed-Stuy. Rent is $1,700/month plus split utilities (internet + electricity), with a $1,500 security deposit due at move-in. Your private room is 11x9 ft, unfurnished, with a 6x2 closet and a small ventilation window — the high ceiling leaves great potential for vertical storage.

The apartment’s common space is a large open living room, dining, and kitchen area with huge windows, tall ceilings, exposed brick, and incredible rays of natural light from southwest facing windows (perfect for plants!), plus shared roof access. Kitchen has a gas oven and range for your cooking ease. It’s a great block: bright (and quiet!) bodega on the corner, friendly neighbors, grocery store between home and the train for maximum convenience. Herbert Von King Park, Pratt, local restaurants and bars, and several laundromats are only a short walk away. Plus, the nearby transit options and bike lanes in every direction outside our door make commutes for work and weekend activities simple.

I love the location and the look of this apartment and imagine you will too. If you enjoy the open common spaces and want a comfortable home in a great neighborhood with a thoughtful roommate, this will be a great place for you.

About This Lister

I’m a 34-year-old freelance lighting tech in film and TV production, with additional work in carpentry and fabrication. My schedule swaps between long shoots and stretches on projects to time at home, so while I’m extroverted and social, I keep things quiet and respectful around the apartment. I speak Spanish and French, and enjoy reading, biking, salsa, martial arts, tabletop games, creative writing, trying new restaurants, and exploring languages. I value communication, empathy, and cleanliness in a roommate — I keep the apartment tidy, never leave dishes or crumbs behind, and appreciate splitting light cleaning. I’m queer-friendly and open to living with anyone, and I’m proud that my past roommates remain close friends who would happily act as references.
