We are looking for a regular and/or long-term subletter for our chic Bed Stuy/Ocean Hill home. Beautifully furnished with a mix of mid-century and modern styles, this private 1-bedroom rental is available on a long-term, flexible basis, starting March 1, 2024 (flexible)

VIRTUAL TOUR - https://youtu.be/8f7vyGT6UHE

The Neighborhood:

Bed Stuy/Ocean Hill boasts great cafes, bars, restaurants, and dance clubs. We're located on Rockaway Ave between Somers and Hull Sts in eastern Bed Stuy. Right across the street from Phoenix Community Garden and Farmer’s Market - the biggest Community Garden in NYC, and in the midst of amazing businesses - Daily Press Cafe (live music and events), Bread & Butter, Pita Point, Beets Cafe, All Night Skate, Aux Karaoke Bar, Little Skips East, Nowadays, organic delis, huge grocery stores, just to name a few. Saratoga Park, Cuts & Slices, Lady Moomoo, Saraghina, Bed Stuy Fish Fry, and all the great business on Halsey/Malcolm X are a short distance away.

Transportation:

The C train at Rockaway Ave is just 1 block away, the J is 6 blocks away, and the L is 8 blocks away. LIRR East New York station is 10 blocks away. Citibike station is on the corner. Lower Manhattan is 20 minutes by train, JFK is 45 minutes by train, LaGuardia is 25 minutes by car. B60 is across the street taking you up to Williamsburg or down to Canarsie.

The Amenities:

Washer/Dryer in unit!

Dishwasher!

Great Wi-fi!

Abundant Closet Space!

The roomy and peaceful bedroom with western exposure has an incredibly comfortable Full/Queen pullout sleeper that can double as a couch for more space.

The newly renovated bathroom features blue Spanish tiles and a brass rain shower. Split unit A/C in the living room.

The mid-century living room has sunny eastern exposure with lots of plants.

The kitchen is huge (by NYC standards) and 2 people can comfortably cook up a storm.

Cute brick patio out front for sipping coffee, gardening, and people watching.

The apartment has a private and secure entrance. We will keep one bedroom door locked with our personal items for the duration of your stay.

To note:

We are part-time in NYC, and will stay in the unit upstairs for when we're in town. We are looking for a long term relationship with subletters who either are looking to rent for a multi-month period of time, or on-and-off over the course of a longer period of time. Ideally we could navigate a schedule that works for all parties between March and November, but we’re flexible for the right folks. Looking for a minimum 2-3 month commitment sometime starting March 1, 2024 (flexible move-in date) through late November.

This space would be perfect for one person or a couple. No pets, no large parties/events, and no smoking in the apartment.

We have plants in the living room that would love a bit of water, so plant-friendly renters are appreciated!

$2800/month (includes all utilities)

ABOUT THIS LISTER

We are a queer couple in our early 40s who have called Bed Stuy home for over 16 years. We have great relationships with our neighbors and so we’re looking for mature, quiet, and respectful folks who would keep those relationships thriving. We would stay in the upstairs unit occasionally, so we would use the same building stairwell, though the sublet unit is completely private. We have a quiet (a little nervous) rescue dog who loved our last tenants - she is slow to love, but her love is big.

RENTAL REQUIREMENTS

We require 1 month’s rent as security deposit. We also ask for 2 personal/professional references, a copy of government ID, and proof of income/funds, please gather those as you reach out.

Please email us to set up a time to view the apartment. Because we travel quite a bit, we may not always be able to show the unit in person, but we can go through the virtual tour together and answer any questions you may have. If you are NYC based and we are in town, we are happy to show the unit in person.

We are flexible with rental dates especially for the right person, though we do give preference for longer stays.

Deposit/rent will be paid via Zelle or Venmo.

OTHER MISC

This apartment is about 7 steps up from the sidewalk. The apartment is outfitted with double-paned windows to minimize noise, but Rockaway Ave is a moderately trafficked street, so you may occasionally hear the sounds of NYC. And because we do have a small and sweet dog in the unit upstairs, those with severe dog allergies may not be a good fit.
