Natasha's room

Brooklyn, NY 11226

A sunny, west-facing unfurnished bedroom in a 2bed/1bath apartment in a 3-family limestone in Flatbush. The room is at the back of the apartment with 2 large windows that fill it with warm afternoon light. The room is spacious and comfortably fits a double bed, armchair, desk, Peloton, dresser, and large rolling cart to give you a sense of the size. There’s a ceiling fan and you’d need to bring your own window AC unit.

The apartment has a separate kitchen with a gas stove, a large living room, and a dining room. Storage includes a built-in closet that’s wider than it looks (runs the full width of the wall), a hallway closet, shared bathroom cabinet, and kitchen cabinet space.

No dishwasher or washer/dryer, and the lease doesn’t allow for adding one. There’s a laundromat and supermarket less than a 5 min walk.

No pets (firm lease policy, and the other roommate is allergic to cats). No smoking of any kind inside.

Accessibility: The apartment is on the first floor with approximately 7 steps to enter the front door.

Transportation: About a 3-min walk to the 2/5 Beverly station. Roughly 15 mins to Downtown Brooklyn and 25 to Lower Manhattan.

Neighborhood: Flatbush is a vibrant area with a long time Caribbean community and the delicious food to match. This particular block is quiet but the bustle of Flatbush ave and Church ave is a short walk a way. You’ll find many cafes along Rogers ave. Prospect Park is a 30min walk or 2 train stops away where you can enjoy picnics by the lake or go roller/ice skating depending on the season.

Can share a video tour!

Rental requirements: Rent is $1,250/month with heat and gas included. Utilities (WiFi and electric) run approximately $80/month but can vary depending on the season. First month’s rent and a security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent are due upon signing.

The room is available now and ideally looking for someone to move in asap but flexible to August 1. The new roommate would sign on to the lease alongside the existing tenant. The lease would run until May 2027. The landlord typically conducts a brief video meeting with prospective tenants before lease signing. Interested applicants will be connected with the landlord’s agent, who manages the application and documentation process and can speak to those specifics directly.

I’m helping find someone to take over my former room. This apartment has been good to me in the 3 years I’ve lived here and it’s hard to come by such a spacious and affordable apartment in NYC. I’m in my 30s and leaving because I am moving in with my partner.

The roommate staying on is a woman in her 50s. She has more interior design and fashion coffee table books than she can count, watches all things 90 Day Fiancé, and has a growing interest in shooting digital photography. She’s lived in Brooklyn for several decades and works in Manhattan 4 days a week. She generally keeps to herself, but is happy to occasionally share a meal or watch a movie or TV show together.

The most important thing to her is a clean, peaceful home and a roommate who shares similar values. She hopes to cultivate a friendly and respectful dynamic. It’s great if you hit it off, but no pressure to be besties. A friend or two over is totally fine, just not the whole party. Would prefer to share the space with another woman but is open.
