Sawyer,  23

New Listing

Сосед по комнате | New York, NY, USA

Hi everyone! I’m a 23-year-old master’s student who recently moved to NYC from Canada! I’m currently living in the East Village, but I’ve realized I don’t love living alone and am looking for roommates for a January move-in. I’ll be breaking my current lease in December, and my budget is max $3,000/month. Ideally, I’m looking in FiDi, Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, Flatiron, the East Village, LES, or even Williamsburg, but I’m pretty flexible for the right place! A little about me: I’m very outgoing and love going out, meeting new people, and exploring everything NYC has to offer, but I’m also really into fitness and staying active. I love having a social household where people can hang out, grab dinner, or go out together, while also respecting each other’s space and routines. I value keeping shared spaces clean and tidy and am hoping to find roommates who want to be friends, not just people who happen to share an apartment. I’m totally open to co-ed (I grew up with a messy brother, so I can handle it lol) and am really not too picky. I’m open to joining an existing apartment or finding a place together! If you’re looking for a roommate or are in a similar situation, feel free to message me! Would love to connect:)

Часто задаваемые вопросы

  • How many people are looking for roommates in Crown Heights right now?

    Few Brooklyn neighborhoods contain as many distinct, long-settled communities in as small an area, and that shapes the search more than the price does. Crown Heights holds one of the largest Caribbean populations in the city, a substantial Hasidic community centered on the blocks near Kingston Avenue, and a steady inflow of renters arriving from Prospect Heights and further west, so households here differ enormously from block to block. 934 people currently have active roommate searches covering Crown Heights on Roomster. Being specific about what you want in a household matters more here than almost anywhere.

  • What do roommates in Crown Heights typically pay to split?

    Splitting a two-bedroom puts each person between $1,860 and $2,765, since local two-bedrooms are quoted from $3,725 to $5,529 and the sources disagree widely. A one-bedroom alone runs $3,322 to $3,789, so sharing saves substantially. The lever specific to this neighborhood is the rowhouse: the limestone and brownstone floors north of Eastern Parkway were built for large households and divide three or four ways comfortably, which can bring a share toward $1,300. Pair that with the blocks east of Kingston Avenue rather than the Franklin Avenue end and you are paying close to half what a two-person split costs on the western edge.

  • Who is actually looking for a roommate in Crown Heights?

    A genuinely broad mix, which is worth reading as an advantage rather than a complication. Expect students and staff from Medgar Evers College, healthcare workers commuting to the hospitals just south in East Flatbush, people employed across Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan on the express 4 and 5, and long-standing residents of the neighborhood's Caribbean community sharing to hold onto a floor. The Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden and Central Library at the western edge add a smaller cultural and academic contingent. Say plainly in your profile what your working hours are and how long you intend to stay, because those two facts do more filtering here than any lifestyle description.

  • Which part of Crown Heights is best for finding a roommate?

    Match the area to the household you want. The blocks north of Eastern Parkway, inside the landmarked rowhouse streets, hold the largest floor-throughs and produce the most three- and four-person shares. The Franklin Avenue corridor at the western end has the youngest and most transient renter population and the quickest turnover, along with the highest prices. Heading east toward Utica and Ralph gets you more space for the money and a more settled, longer-staying set of households. South of the parkway around Kingston and Albany Avenues the housing is more often small apartment buildings than rowhouses.

  • Can I find a roommate in Crown Heights who keeps a kosher kitchen?

    Yes, and this is one of the few neighborhoods in the country where saying so up front genuinely changes your results. The blocks around Kingston and Albany Avenues hold a large observant Jewish community centered on 770 Eastern Parkway, the world headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and one of some 32 synagogues in the area, and households there frequently need a housemate who will keep a kosher kitchen and respect Shabbat. If that is what you need, or what you can offer, write it into your profile as a requirement rather than a footnote, the same way you would state a budget. It is a practical matching criterion here, and leaving it vague wastes everybody's time.

  • What should I check before joining a Crown Heights household?

    Work out the building first, because the housing here varies more than the neighborhood name implies: a floor of a landmarked rowhouse with the owner upstairs is a different proposition from a unit in a small pre-war apartment building or a newer Franklin Avenue conversion. Ask who holds the lease, whether the landlord has to approve an added occupant, and how heat is arranged, since the older rowhouses often run on a single system for the whole building. On the people, Roomster's ID and address checks are free and optional, and each one a member finishes shows on their profile, so weight those. View the room in person or on a live video call, and pay nothing before you have met.
