Hi! I'm looking for a roommate for my 2BR apartment. It is located one block away from the Knickerbocker M and a quick walk from Dekalb L. My first roommate, who I met through listings project, lived here for 5+ years! Our apartment is railroad style with bedrooms on opposite ends, each with their own bathroom, connected by a narrow-ish kitchen area (sadly no windows in there lol). Your room would face the backyard, is quiet, and gets a good amount of light in the afternoon/evening (especially in the summer ~ the last few photos are old from when I used to live in that room and were taken in August around 6:30 PM). The landlord is friendly and responsive, and his parents live on the first floor, I also have a good relationship with them as well as our neighbors across the hall! The rent does not include utilities (National Grid, Con Ed, & Optimum Internet), which I pay each month, and are roughly $100 for each person. Sorry, but no pets!

About This Lister

I'm Yvette, she/her, 31 yr old Taurus who previously lived in Philly and grew up in Jersey. I've lived in the apartment for more than three years/my whole time in NYC. I work in affordable housing full time (remote) and teach yoga around the neighborhood. I have leftist politics and love to bake, share food, and chat. It's important for me to have a roommate who is mutually invested in upkeeping the space and making our home a peaceful place to return to after a busy day. I don't mind the occasional dirty dish but I like keeping the common areas clean/counters wiped down, etc (everyone has a different definition of clean lol). I don't need to be BFF with my roommate but I like being able to care for each other and be somewhat invested in each other's well being! I'm looking for someone who wants to stay for a year minimum. Other things that are important to me: political alignment and generally being conscious of others and the space. Please reach out with any questions and tell me about yourself! Happy to meet in person & show you around the apartment.
