Hi! We’re Lucas and Kate, two born-and-raised New Yorkers hoping to find a long-term 1-bedroom spot (or 1.5–2BR… is it a crime to dream??) in Brooklyn. A couple of things we’re looking for:

★ Ideally off of the 4 or 5 trains (Lucas works in the Bronx, so the 2 train also works and the closer to Manhattan the better)
★ Unfurnished
★ Natural light
★ A decent kitchen—we love to cook!
★ Between $2000–2700/month
★ Move in by September 1, but as soon as July is possible, maybe even over the winter holiday for the right place. Hoping that taking a long head-start will help us find the perfect arrangement!

And some things that are not necessary but always great… :)
★ Washer/dryer
★ Dishwasher
★ Close to good restaurants, bars, maybe a farmers' market, etc.

About This Lister

★ Though we have very active social lives, we prefer to keep a quiet space for ourselves. Most of our time at home is spent working, cooking, watching TV or movies together, playing video games, reading… just chilling….
★ Kate is an editor for a small independent press and spends a lot of her time out of the house at work, organizing, or hanging with friends. When she's at home, she loves to knit and bake!
★ Lucas is a teacher in the Bronx at a public high school for immigrant youth. He is the basketball coach for the boys and girls’ teams, and sometimes hosts his friends for board game nights :) also likes to bike!
★ We've known each other since high school and been together since 2021. We're both from NYC, both know and love this city, and both hope to stay for a long time to come (and also know how to be reasonable tenants)
★ We don’t have any pets, but love animals
★ Last pic is Kate's current living room for a vibe check if you'd like :)
