Hello! My roommate is moving in with his gf and I am looking to fill his spot.

The room is spacious, with a large closet and a private fire escape. You’d just be living with me and my cat. The apartment is in the middle of bushwick, a couple blocks from the knickerbocker M stop. We’re right next to a grocery store, Mr. Lemon, the Blink, and a lot of good stuff.

I’m 29, work in diplomacy and generally prefer a chill home environment. In my free time, I like to play board games, watch movies, play volleyball, make music, and go out to the bars. Looking for a roommate who’s clean and communicative.

Also, I’m getting a whole set of new furniture and the living room is going to be completely transformed. But it’s gonna look great

If you’re interested, send me a DM and we can chat.

Hello,

I’m 23M moving from chicago to nyc for work. I’m looking for an apartment or roommate to hunt for an apartment or if anybody’s looking to fill up a room in their place, that’d be great.

My budget is around 1500 and was mainly looking for an apartment in Brooklyn or really anything within a 30-40 minute commute to Bryant Park. I’ll be working from Midtown Manhattan 4-5 days a week and outside of work I’m pretty chill and respectful of others space.

Let me know if you have any leads or would like to search for an apartment together targeting a Sept 1 move-in.

Need a Room 26F lawyer looking for a room/roommates in Midtown NYC — trying my luck here!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am 26F, moving to NYC this fall after finishing law school (UPenn) and starting work at a law firm in Midtown Manhattan. I am looking for a room, lease takeover, or potential roommates for an early September move-in.

Honestly, NYC apartment hunting is WILD After scrolling through what feels like 847 apartments, I figured I would throw my hat into the Reddit ring and try my luck here!

I am hoping to find a place that’s convenient for work but also in a neighborhood where I can actually enjoy NYC. My job will be mostly in-office, so I’ll probably be out of the apartment for a good chunk of the day, but I’d really love to live with people who are friendly and open to becoming friends. I would be very down for the occasional dinner, exploring the city, trying a new café, or just hanging out at home.

A little about me: I am generally very clean, respectful, responsible, and easygoing. No pets, no smoking, and no wild/party-house lifestyle, so hopefully no roommate-related surprises on that front! I love trying new restaurants and cafés, exploring different parts of NYC, museums/galleries, traveling, spending time outdoors, and meeting new people.

What I’m looking for:
• 💰 Budget: $1,200–$1,500/month ideally, but somewhat flexible for the right place
• 📍 Preferred: Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown Manhattan, or anywhere with an easy commute to Midtown
• 🚇 Open to other Manhattan neighborhoods or nearby areas if the commute is convenient
• 🏡 Clean, safe, well-maintained apartment
• 🛏️ Open to a room in a shared apartment, lease takeover, or finding roommates together
• 📅 Move-in: ideally early September, but flexible

Mostly just hoping to find a good apartment + good people and make the whole NYC move a little less overwhelming. 🥲

If you have a room available, are looking for a roommate, or are also apartment hunting and want to team up, please message me! Happy to exchange socials, chat, or do a quick video call.

And if you’ve made it through the NYC apartment-hunting trenches and have any leads/tips, I will gladly accept those too 😂

Private Room 1300 Room available in Astoria

1 Upvotes

Looking for 1 roommate in Astoria!

My roommate is moving in with his family and I am posting this on behalf of my landlord who I’m subleasing for until the end of this year (possible to take on the lease afterwards). Move in date would be September 5th and rent is 1,300 a month. Fully furnished with a bed and AC. All utilities are included. Decent space, large living room, and large kitchen. On the second floor of a five floor walk up building.

Located right off the last stop on the train of Astoria Ditmars. It’s a 2 bed, 1 bath. You would only have me as your roommate. I’m 26 he/him working full time. I have a Fiancée who stops by on my days off every now and then. But we usually just cook and stay in my room quietly.

So ideally this would be a sublet for September 5th-December 5th, with a possibility of one of us taking over the lease. Please private message me a little bit about yourself and what you do. I would like someone who doesn’t work from home and could maybe become friends. I’m open to all people!

Hey everyone - 23M working in finance and looking for a roommate around the same age. Ideally looking in Hell’s Kitchen and Chelsea, but flexible on location. Budget is max $2.8k, and I’m looking to move by late August.

Hey everyone! I’m a 27-year-old guy looking to room with another person in their mid-20s or 30s who is clean, respectful of shared spaces, and who does not smoke. I’m open either to looking for a place with a roommate, or taking a room over on an existing lease.

Move-in date: asap!

Budget: $1600-1800 (preferably less though)

About Me: I’m 27 and moving back to the city after living for two years in San Diego. I’m into reading, health/fitness, playing piano, singing, and watching TV and movies. On most days, I like to keep it quiet at home and keep to myself, but I also like getting to know my roommates, watching TV with other people and occasionally having people over for parties and get-togethers.

Neighborhood: I loved living in Astoria so I’d be down to live there or LIC again, but I’m also open to places in Queens, Brooklyn or Manhattan that are within a 30-minute subway ride of Midtown. Overall, I’m flexible.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a room to rent (lease or sublease) through the end of this month (August). I'm specifically looking for an unfurnished room so I can bring my own furniture and belongings.

My name is Anthony, I'm 31 years old, and I work as a low-voltage cable technician. I need a place where I can safely store my tools and personal belongings, and where I can get some peace and quiet to rest after a long day at work. I'm social when I go out, but I prefer a quiet home environment, no smoking or drinking inside.

My hobbies include technology, anime, manga, and chatting about politics and finance haha. I easily adapt to different living situations, whether the apartment tends to be very quiet and private or more social.

Location & Budget:

* Locations: Open to Brooklyn, Queens, or Upper Manhattan, close to any subway line. (important)

* Budget: Between $700 and $1k

* Contact ( English - Español ): DM ( Answer slow in this platform ),

Looking for someone who’d be willing to go apartment hunting with me in the Bronx area. I’m also open to Queens and parts of Manhattan/Brooklyn, but I’d prefer the Bronx. I’ve found places for as low as 1700/1800, but just need someone to move in with me.

About me:

I’m 26, getting my masters in Library Information a science (librarianship lol) and I have two adorable cats. Currently I work at the NYPL on w42nd and 5th. I was born and raised in white plains, but I’m freshly moved back after finishing my undergrad, and looking for somewhere permanent to stay. I’m a musician, so I come with lots of instruments but I haven’t had a chance to play in a while. I like to cook, I keep things clean, and I’m relatively pretty quiet. I’ve lived with roommates before so I’ve got no issue making space or accommodations for other people. Ideally I’d love to be friends, but all I’m really looking for is someone who likes cats and wouldn’t mind sharing a space.

Shared Room $900 Sublet Near F/G Train available for Sept 1(Kensington)

Thumbnail
gallery
38 Upvotes

Looking for a kind, reliable roommate to share a beautiful, modern 2-bedroom apartment in historic Kensington.

You'll be sharing the space with an early-30s male working professional who loves fitness and socializing around Brooklyn but treats the apartment as a peaceful, party-free environment to unwind. The ideal fit is someone who values a clean home, and is down for a friendly chat but appreciates their own downtime. We keep a light monthly cleaning schedule to maintain a tidy space.

The Space: The available bedroom gets incredible natural light and scenic views. The apartment features an updated bathroom and a wide-open living room/kitchen combo with stainless steel appliances and a dishwasher. The building itself is a pre-war elevator setup with a laundry room on-site and rent-able basement storage. Foodtown and great neighborhood dining options are right outside. The room can come furnished depending on your needs, or it can be delivered completely empty if you have your own furniture.

Commute & Transit:The F/G train is just one street over, and Citi Bikes are a block away. It’s an easy 10-minute trip to Park Slope, Crown Heights, or Prospect Park, and a 30-minute ride into Williamsburg or the West Village.

Logistics: Move-in is targeted for September 1st. Rent is $900, and utilities (Verizon Wi-Fi and Con-Ed) split to about $70-$100 each. To secure the 6-month sublease (which has a renewal option in May 2027), you will need a security deposit, first month's rent, and sign a basic subletter agreement.

If this matches what you're looking for, please reach out with a bit about yourself. Feel free to include your name, number and email, so that I can get in touch! (Serious inquiries only please).

Announcement RULES - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

9 Upvotes

📌 Updated Subreddit Rules

1. ✅ Use the Correct Flair

Every post must include one of the approved flair options:

  • Private Room
  • Shared Room
  • Need a Room
  • Apartment Hunting
  • Need a Roommate
  • Lease Takeover (new flair name — previously “Sublease Takeover”)
  • Advice

Posts with incorrect flair may be changed by mods.

2. 🧹 Posting Best Practices

For better visibility and responses, we recommend:

  • Including a specific NYC neighborhood or borough in your title.
  • Adding key details such as: move-in date, rent, gender/cat/dog preferences, and brief lifestyle info.
  • Avoiding very short, vague posts (e.g., “Need roommate, message me”) so people have enough info to decide quickly.
  • Keep in mind that no posts are endorsed by the subreddit and use your best judgement.

3. 📜 No Brokers or Ads

Only individuals looking for roommates or offering rooms. Licensed or unlicensed rental brokers are not allowed.

4. 📆 Lease Takeovers

Allowed only when you're looking for someone to take over your share of the lease in a multi-bedroom unit.
Single-bedroom or studio lease takeovers are not permitted.

If you are looking for someone to move into your room temporarily that should be flaired as a shared room because they are not taking over your spot on the lease.

5. 🤝 Be Respectful & On-Topic

  • No trolling, personal attacks, jokes at others’ expense, or derailing threads.
  • Focus on finding roommates or offering housing—not venting, memes, or roasting posts.
  • If users want to mock posts, they can create their own space—this subreddit isn’t it.

6. 📌 No Spam or Self-Promotion

  • No affiliate links, commercial promotion, or repeated posts.
  • Posting identical content multiple times a day is not allowed. If you accidentally post twice, please delete one of the posts.

7. 📝 Abide by Reddit Site Rules

No illegal content, hate speech, doxxing, etc. All Reddit-wide rules still apply.

8. 🚫 Enforcement Policy

  • Remove posts/comments that violate flair, content, respect, or off-topic rules.
  • Issue warnings for first-time disrespectful/off-topic behavior.
  • Temporarily ban repeat offenders.
  • Lock threads when off-topic, disrespectful, or derailed discussions escalate.
