The Apartment
We share a massive 4BR / 2BA apartment on the 21st floor of Parker Towers, a doorman building in Forest Hills. It’s honestly the biggest space any of us has lived in in NYC. The apartment has a huge living room, which is great for hanging out or entertaining. It also has a balcony with sweeping views across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, a shared kitchen with a dishwasher, and laundry in the building. Please note that smoking inside the apartment is not permitted.

The building is extremely dog-friendly, with multiple dog runs, dog-centered amenities, and lots of fellow pet owners. The management also organizes food trucks, concerts on the lawn, game nights, and other community events. There’s a gym and laundry in the basement as well as a tailoring/dry cleaning store on-site, which is affordable and reliable. There is optional parking available for a fee in the building garage and lots of street parking in the neighborhood.

Available Rooms:
Both rooms have huge windows with lots of natural light and skyline views that never get old. Both rooms have wall-unit A/C. The utilities are split evenly: $25 each for internet and roughly $20-$80 each for electricity and gas (varies with the seasons). We also buy some communal household items (cleaning supplies, toilet paper, etc.) from Costco on an as-needed basis. Please note that smoking inside is not permitted.

Bedroom 1: $1306, Sublet, 9–12 months, ~15’ x 10’
- This room is furnished with a queen bed, desk, dresser, and bookshelves. It also has a built-in closet and two windows.
- Sublet can be for 9-12 months. We’re open to extending it or converting it to a lease if it’s a good fit.
- Move-in dates for this room are flexible from Sept 1 - Sept 30.
- $400 security deposit for the furniture

Bedroom 2: $1566, Lease Takeover, ~18.5’ x 11’
- Very spacious unfurnished room with a large closet & picture windows.
- Move-in dates for this room are flexible from Sept 1 - Sept 30.
- No deposit

Who We’re Looking For:
- Late 20s–30s
- Cleanliness is really important to us. We keep common spaces tidy as it makes sharing a big apartment easy.
- Social but respectful
- Genuinely like dogs

We’re looking for like-minded people who want to come and share our space with us. We’re especially looking for people who are dog-friendly. In an ideal world, you either love living with a dog or even have one of your own. Our dog Luna would be thrilled to have a friend, and we’re happy to share dog-related responsibilities. She’s a very affectionate COVID-era dog who doesn’t understand why her humans have to leave the house.

The Neighborhood
We love Forest Hills! It’s a walkable, family-oriented neighborhood with great restaurants, fun bars, and all the amenities you'd need within a 5-minute radius (Trader Joes, Target, Post Office, Gyms, Coffee Shops, etc). Forest Hills Stadium is just around the corner (a historic outdoor music venue), and there are several beautiful parks and the landmarked Forest Hills Gardens neighborhood to wander through.

Transit is excellent:
- 25 minutes to Midtown via the E/F express
- Connected locally via the R and M, with easy transfers to the 7 or G
- 15 minutes to Penn Station on the LIRR
- Easy access to JFK, LaGuardia, and Long Island
- Biking to Manhattan via Queens Boulevard takes ~40 minutes.
- Street parking around the neighborhood

If you’re interested in this listing, please write us a short email introducing yourself. Tells us about who you are and what you do. Are you new to NYC? What brought you here? Etc. We’ll read them all and be in touch to set up a viewing. We look forward to welcoming you!
