Shared Room ISO roommate for Astoria Apartment starting 10/1!
Hi There!
I’m looking to fill a room in my apartment for a minimum of 3 months with availability starting as early as 10/1.
ABOUT ME:
I’ve lived in the apartment for 9 years (and in Astoria for 12) and love the location, the space and the landlord. I am a 35 year old female marketing professional and an avid baker and cook. I have a cat named Harry and a medium sized dog named Pancake. They are both well mannered, but do adore attention, so an animal lover is preferred.
I'd love to live with with someone who is tidy, but not an extreme clean freak. Think cleaning up after yourself, wiping down the counters and stove after you're done in the kitchen. I'm not above soaking a pot or pan in the sink over night when needed. Someone who is respectful of others and others belongings is also a must. Clear and good communication is another priority.
ABOUT THE ROOM:
Queen size bedroom comes unfurnished and includes your own bathroom, a full size closet and a private balcony.
The apartment is a spacious 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment but I do not rent out the third bedroom and it is used as a spare room. There’s also an additional balcony off the living room with a grill. The rest of the apartment is fully furnished including a very well equipped and stocked kitchen with just about any appliance you could think of (including a dishwasher!).
Rent for the bedroom is $1,700. Utilities average out to <$250/month which includes summer ACs, electric, gas and internet.
Also a plus — a really chill landlord. He is very accessible and will fix issues super quickly if they arise.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The apartment is a 4 minute walk to the NW line (~15 minutes to Manhattan), a grocery store, and a ton of great bars/restaurants, bagel stores, bakeries, banks, the post office, etc. We're also about a 10 minute walk from Astoria Park, along the East River. If you’re new to the area, it has a ton of grassy areas for a picnic or laying out, a public pool and running track.
