2 Roommates Wanted in Spacious Astoria apartment

Living room

Hello! I’m looking for two clean and respectful roommates to join me in a spacious Astoria apartment. The apartment is 3 bedrooms, with 1.5 baths.

Lease runs from August 1 to July 31 and rent is $1,133 per month. Rent is split equally between the roommates as each room has its own perk. Utilities typically run around $50-100 depending on the time of year.

APARTMENT SPECS

Room #1: Smaller room with its own private, attached balcony

Room #2: Larger room with ample space for furniture

The apartment is huge, with a separate living room, dining room, and kitchen. There are two closets in the hallway which we use for storing coats and cleaning supplies, respectively. There is also a second balcony off the dining room, overlooking the front driveway. The common areas of the apartment will be fully furnished with a dining table, pull-out sofa, and TV + stand. The living room is quite large so if you have something like a loveseat or bar cart, it will definitely fit! There is plenty of space for wall art as well. Please note that the bedrooms will be unfurnished.

LOCATION + NEIGHBORHOOD

The apartment is a 6-minute walk to 46th Street station (M/R trains) and just over a 20-minute walk to Broadway station (N/W trains). There are also various bus lines in close proximity.

The neighborhood is quiet and pretty without being secluded from busier areas. Astoria is well-known for its excellent food scene and community vibe. We are only a 12-minute walk from the big box stores on Northern Boulevard (Home Depot, H Mart, Marshall’s) but there are a variety of locally-owned and NYC-specific chains in the area as well.

COST

Costs to move in will include the following:

First month’s rent: $1,133
Security deposit: $1,133
Broker’s fee: $1,133

So, the total upfront costs will be $3,399.

Landlord requires proof of income and a credit report.

ABOUT ME

Young professional in their late-20’s working a standard 9-5 in Manhattan. I’m very used to living with roommates and consider myself to be chill and easygoing. I like to cook so I do often use the kitchen, but I definitely don’t monopolize it! On weekends I will usually be out exploring, but I tend to spend weeknights at home relaxing. I tend to go to bed on the earlier side, so would prefer roommates who will not be blasting music until late into the night. Our current group of roommates cleans the common spaces every 2-3 weeks (sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, wiping down) which has worked out well for us. The kitchen gets cleaned more frequently. Additionally, I am LGBT+ and use they/them pronouns, so I am looking for roommates who are respectful and open-minded.

If this space sounds like it could be a good fit, reach out and we can set up a time for you to tour the apartment. Individual applications or groups of two are both welcome to reach out!

Unfortunately, no pets. No couples, please.

NOTE: The landlord does come by the property every two weeks or so to work on some task in the garage or the garden (he owns the entire building). He does have a dog, Shadow, who is a very sweet boy, but he is a large dog and he is a bit aloof when you first meet him. Shadow is not allowed in the building but he will often be outside snoozing on the driveway when the landlord is on the property. Sometimes he will bark loudly at other dogs who are walking by.
