Hawthorne Street

This is a luxury building in the budding Prospect Lefferts Garden / Crown Heights neighborhood. There is a gym, laundry, lounge, and meeting area in the basement. There is a communal roof deck with a grill and a great view of Brooklyn (+ the top of the Freedom Tower). There is off-street parking for a fee, and there is also a balcony off of the living room, plus central air in the entire apartment and high-speed WiFi for only $8/month. There are two bathrooms, one with a shower + bath and one with just a shower. What my roommates and I did this past year was have my room and the $840 room share the bigger bathroom, while the person paying $1240 had the smaller bathroom to themselves. Most tenants in this building are young professionals.

The room for $1240 has enough room for a queen bed, a dresser, and a desk. It also has a standard closet space. It shares balcony with another (my) room, and has a sliding door that provides a ton of natural light.

The room for $840 has enough room for a twin bed and a dresser. The current tenant has a lifted bed with a desk underneath which is a very nice use of the space, can provide photos per request.

I work in music, recently transitioning from my job at Universal Music Group to a new job at Facebook which is why I’m renewing the lease. I’m relatively quiet but friendly. I have friends in the neighborhood + a girlfriend in Boston so am not at the apartment all the time (I often spend 1-2 weekends per month away from NYC). I’m 420 friendly but don’t smoke inside the apartment, rather on one of the two balconies. I have lived here for the past 16 months and couldn’t be happier. The apartment is also rent controlled.
