The Apartment Thread (October 2007)

$1575 massive williamsburg condo unit (williamsburg)

Photos Here!

Would love an improvisor to come and join us.


This is an entire basement floor unit all to yourself with a separate entrance in a beautiful condo building. The unit is part of shared duplex and the only unit in the building that is being leased to tenants. Two roommates live in the upstairs rooms - Mark and Dan- that's us. We have lived here for a year and absolutely love it. It truly is a steal for the price, location and space.

WHERE: First stop off L Train in Brooklyn (BEDFORD), On the corner of Roebling and S1st. It's 2 blocks from the Wburg bridge.

ABOUT THE APARTMENT: (This is from the Ad - so apologies for the fruitiness)
Beamed ceilings, abundant windows and deep window sills define each space. Jenn-Air french door refrigerator with bottom freezer and stainless steel Bosch cook-top, wall oven, microwave and dishwasher. Blizzard white Caesar Stone counter-tops and backsplash along with wenge and glass panel cabinetry complete the streamlined aesthetic. Extravagant master bathrooms are generously proportioned and accessed off the main living area as well as from the master bedroom to ensure privacy. They feature glass door showers, bathtubs and custom wood vanities. Windowed powder rooms are a nice addition to each unit.

ABOUT THE ROOM:
The first three photos are the upstairs- The full jacuzzi bath and shower is upstairs. The spiral staircase leads down to your room. The bottom photo is of your room. You have your own private entrance downstairs as well with elevator. Your room has a half bath (toilet and sink), washer dryer and windows on either side. There is more space directly to the right of the bed that you see in the photo. There's enough room for a small sofa or furniture and also a lot of room behind from where the photo is taken.

ABOUT US:
** We are two cousins looking for a third roommate for May 1st.
About us: One is a marketing prof, 30yrs old, gay, non smoker. The other is in tv ad sales, straight, 32 yrs old, artist. We are both respectable roommates and extremely fun spirited.
You should be the same.

Please contact me via email if you are interested!
Thanks
Dan

Hi guys. Katie from Froduce here. I need to sublet my furnished room for a month to a month and a half.

One furnished bedroom sublet available in three bedroom apartment. Dates are flexible. I would like to rent the room from around April 10 (or later) to May 26th. Let me know when you need the room and maybe we can work it out! The rent is $875 before bills, usually around $920 after. I will pro-rate the rent for any days you stay here more than a month. We can work out a security deposit.

The apartment is on a beautiful, tree lined street. If you haven't been on Convent Ave. you really should. The Royal Tenenbaums was filmed on this street just four blocks away! View right outside the door is of City College which is a beautiful campus. You are a 5 minute walk from the A/B/C/D and 1 subway line. It takes about 12 minutes to get to mid-town.

You will be living with two mid-20's females. They are both very social and fun but like having their space. One goes out of town every weekend and the other has a boyfriend that she often stays over with. They both work 9-6ish.

I have a craigslist ad up (with pics) but would love if I could rent the room to someone in the improv community that I could trust/isn't crazy.

Thanks guys! Message me here or e-mail me katieeast7@gmail.com

Hello, IRC.

My roommate has decided to up and get married, and apparently we're not close enough for him to raise children around me.

My current lease is up at the end of June, but depending on the setup could move on something sooner.

I'm not a monk, but I'm hoping for something on the quieter side and not north of 1k/month....unless we're talking a seriously crazy perk like rooftop pool.

I work from home a few times/week and have a safe and steady job.

Beyond that I have no idea what I'm looking for...just thought I'd toss this out there.

Feel free to drop me a line at david dot abraham dot siegel and then all the usual gmail stuff.
 
Hey, guys. I'm starting work in NYC in Mid-May and am looking for a sublet to get me through the summer, while I figure out something more permanent. Craigslist is great, and everything, but I don't want to find myself living with a crazy liar weirdo person (see above post). So IRC, help me!

Here's something about me: I'll be working 9-5, doing improv classes, and don't think I'll be around the apartment too much. I am pretty mature, and nice, and considerate and have lived with tons of different people, at this point. I'm clean in common spaces, I don't "do" drama, and sometimes I'm funny.

Here's something about what I'm looking for: Under $1000/mo. Brooklyn > Harlem. Relatively quiet apartment (no parties on week nights) so that I could sleep by 11 or midnight on days when I have work...

If you know of anything e-mail katherinemaughan (at) gmail ... Thanks so much!
 
Hey all -

I too, am starting work in Mid-May in NYC (LES, specifically) - but can start paying rent on May 1st. So, I'm looking for a roommate around Midtown/Midtown West/UWS. I'd like to pay up to $1400 for the room (but obviously, I'll do cheaper if I can).

About me: I'm moving from Chicago, and I've been an actor/improviser (mostly independent teams) here for the last 4 or 5 years (having gone through iO and Annoyance). I'm starting class at Magnet on May 19th since I'm gonna continue the journey. When I'm not on stage (or class or *whatever*), my job makes me a software engineer ... so I'm a bit of a computer nerd to boot. I'm really laid back, easy to get along with, and pretty generous on top of all that.

Anyway, if you know a place (or have a place) please PM me.

Hey guys,

My lease is up May 31st, so I'm looking for a place to move into June 1st.

My prefs:

$1500 a month,
Grammercy, Flatiron, Chelsea, Murray Hill, West Village, Tribeca.

Anyone know of a one bedroom or someone who needs a roommate. I'm a screenwriter, so I like to work from home, but I do have an office. I'm quiet in my apartment, but I do tend to come in late.

If anyone knows, email me at thedanabrams dot com
 
Guys!

One of my roommates is moving in with her boyfriend.

That leaves a room in my apartment available for June 1.

Anyone interested?
The room is smallish-to-medium sized, has good sunlight and is $680. YALL THAT BE CHEAP.


The common space is big. We lovely roof deck and a big tv. The neighborhood is safe. East Williamsburg off the Montrose L line. We are near fun things like Bedford Ave, the crazy stinky Bushwick lofts, and good bars like Duck Duck and Harefield. Also you will live near a bunch of fun comedians who convene weekly in Duck Duck for no reason at all. It's like Cheers.

First month's rent and security to move in ($1360).

Forward this to your friends or let me know if you want more info!

Love
Mack

ROOMATE NEEDED IN GREENPOINT/WILLIAMSBURG!!!

We (Bryce Richardson and I) have a roommate who just told us she's moving out on June 1st and we need someone to take her place.

Rent is $685 p/m. Utilities range about $110 per person a month (this is everything including cable/internet combined). Room is moderately sized but it has good closet space and wall lights.
Big living room and kitchen.

It's located closest to the Nassau G stop but you can take a 10 minute walk past McCarren Park to the Bedford L train.

Very nice and safe area.

If you'd like to take a look, let us know!
 
It seems that my landlord has decided to evict the person I am leasing from, so I will be looking for an apartment for June 1st, or maybe later if we can stall the process. If anyone has a room to sublet for the summer, or wants to band together and lease a place, please let me know. A stable living situation with a reasonable commute to work in Fort Greene and Park Slope would be ideal.

Me: Late 20's, employed, responsible, going back to school PT in fall, likes pets and owns none, outdoor smoker who is trying to quit, work most afternoons and some evenings and weekends, non-judgmental, accepting and discreet, obviously into improv and theatre in general.

You: Responsible, generally respectful, communicate, and not any kind of bigot.

What: Either a summer sublet 6/1-9/1, or lease if situation looks good. My max is about $750, but could pay slightly more for the right summer sublet.

Where: Ideally in Brooklyn (or Manhattan), a few stops on a local or express to Atlantic/Pacific area, but I could do Astoria/LIC or Woodside near 61st for the summer. Poor/working class/industrial neighborhoods are fine, but nothing too sketchy.

Hey-- I need a new roommate for June 1st!

LOCATION: Astoria. Two blocks from the Steinway stop, which has the R, the V, and sometimes the E and G. About a ten-minute walk to the Broadway stop on the N. About a 20-minute ride to Times Square. Walking distance from everything you'd need, including a laundromat around the corner. Safe and pleasant neighborhood.

APARTMENT: Third-floor walkup. Two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom. The bedroom is a decent size and comes mostly furnished: no bed, but a desk/chair, nightstand, small loveseat, TV, and DVD player. It doesn't have a closet inside it, but there's a closet immediately outside of it in the hallway, which would be yours (there's also a separate shared closet in the hallway). It also has wireless Internet access.

The rest of the apartment is fully furnished. The living room has a sofa, a couple of chairs, a table, a TV, and a VCR/DVD combo-- and a digital cable package that includes DVR and all the HBOs. The kitchen has a table and chairs, and all your standard kitchen stuff. (The bedroom itself doesn't have a cable box.)

COST: Rent = $700 a month, due on the 1st. Utilities = roughly $110 to $120ish (more over the summer if the A/C is on a lot), which includes the cable/internet package (main internet box is in my room, with a router for wireless access).

ME: I'll be out of your hair. I mostly keep to myself in my room. I'm starting law school in September, and between that, improv, and hopefully a social life, I probably won't be home much. Clean, respectful, etc. I seldom have friends over, and when I do, I'll always make sure we're respectful and quiet. I keep erratic hours (at least for now), but I promise to be as quiet as you need me to be if I'm up late at night.

YOU: I'd prefer someone I know, but I'm open to friends-of-friends and comedy folk. I don't mind noise/music/TV/etc., and I don't mind whatever hours you keep and whenever you go in and out. I also don't mind if you have people over, as long as everyone is respectful.

NO: No pets. No smoking in the apartment.

Full Disclosure: You'd be living above a bar. It doesn't get too noisy too often, but Saturday nights are karaoke nights. If you intend to spend Saturday nights at home meditating in silence, you'll want earmuffs.

If you're interested or have any questions, e-mail me at halphillips at gmail dot com . And please pass this on to any friends you think might be interested!

Thanks,
--Hal
