Private Room Available | Bushwick

Комната для аренды | Evergreen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, USA

$1,900 URGENT SUBLET | PRIME BUSHWICK I’m looking for someone lovely to take over a private room in my 3-bedroom, 1-bath apartment in Bushwick, right near Bed-Stuy. You’d be sharing the apartment with just me! $1,800/month + ~$100–150 utilities1 month security deposit. Month-to-month, with the option to stay long-term. The location is amazing: 4–6 min walk to the Halsey J, 10–15 min to the Wilson L, and walking distance to everything I love about Bushwick and Bed-Stuy, including Food Bazaar, cafés, restaurants, bars, and Maria Hernandez Park. It’s also only about 30 minutes to Manhattan. The apartment has rooftop access, basement laundry, a monthly cleaner, and a fully stocked kitchen. The room is currently unfurnished, but I’m happy to furnish it if that’s easier for you! A little about me: I’m a woman in my late 20s, work from home, and really value having a clean, calm, and respectful home. I travel quite a bit for both work and fun, so I’m looking for someone kind, responsible, and easygoing who will feel comfortable making the space their own. I also have a very sweet, friendly, hypoallergenic Miniature Schnauzer. You absolutely don’t need to take care of or watch her, but you should be comfortable and happy living with a dog! If this sounds like it could be a good fit, DM me with a little bit about yourself! I’d love to hear from you:)

Часто задаваемые вопросы

  • How many rooms for rent are available in Bushwick right now?

    Almost the entire neighborhood rents: 90 percent of Bushwick residents are renters, and more than half of its apartments sit in buildings with fewer than six units. That combination produces an unusually deep room market, because the supply is not landlords letting rooms individually but existing households filling a bedroom in a three- or four-bedroom apartment they already hold. Roomster carries 160 rooms across Bushwick, spread through ZIPs 11206, 11207, 11221 and 11237. Read each listing for who is actually offering it, since on this side of Brooklyn the person on the other end is usually a housemate rather than an owner.

  • How much does a room for rent in Bushwick cost per month?

    Most rooms here go for $1,100 to $1,700 a month, and the arithmetic behind that is worth understanding because it runs opposite to most markets. A three-bedroom in Bushwick is quoted between $3,800 and $4,499, which is roughly $1,270 to $1,500 each once split, while a one-bedroom on your own runs about $3,200 to $3,301. The bigger the apartment, the cheaper your share. You can find rooms under $1,300 a month around Knickerbocker Avenue, toward Myrtle-Wyckoff and along the Ridgewood border, while the converted loft blocks near Jefferson Street and Morgan Avenue sit at the top of the range.

  • Which Bushwick blocks have the cheapest rooms to share?

    Price falls steadily as you move southeast away from the Williamsburg side. The Jefferson Street, Morgan Avenue and DeKalb Avenue blocks, where the old factory buildings and the Bushwick Collective murals around Troutman Street are, ask the most, because that is the part of the neighborhood people picture when they picture Bushwick. Rooms get cheaper around Maria Hernandez Park and Knickerbocker Avenue, cheaper again toward Myrtle-Wyckoff, and cheapest on the blocks that run into Ridgewood across the Queens line. Crossing that line does not change the commute much, since the same L and M serve both sides.

  • Can I rent a room in a Bushwick loft, and is it legal?

    Sometimes, and this is the one question worth asking directly here. Many Bushwick residential lofts are former factory and warehouse floors covered by the Loft Law, Article 7-C of the Multiple Dwelling Law, which protects tenants of buildings used as homes by three or more independent families during the qualifying periods. Those buildings are registered as interim multiple dwellings with the New York City Loft Board, which supervises their conversion to the Article 7-B fire-safety standard. A protected loft is a perfectly good place to take a room. An unregistered commercial floor quietly divided into bedrooms is not. Ask whether the building is registered with the Loft Board or holds a residential certificate of occupancy, and look for a second way out, windows in the bedroom and working alarms before you commit.

  • Can I find a furnished or short-term room for rent in Bushwick?

    Month to month, yes. Under 30 days, effectively no, and the reason is recent. Local Law 18, enforced from September 2023, requires hosts to register for any stay shorter than 30 days, permits it only where the host lives in the unit and is present, and caps it at two guests, which took city listings from roughly 22,000 down to about 2,300. Stays of 30 days or more fall outside that law entirely. The practical result in Bushwick is that the short-stay market moved into ordinary month-to-month sublets inside the share houses, usually a room held by someone traveling or subletting between leases. Search by move-in date and lease length rather than looking for a furnished listing as such.

  • Are Bushwick rooms for rent near the L, and what if it is down?

    Nearly all of them are, though the line matters more here than the walk. The L stops at Jefferson Street, DeKalb Avenue, Morgan Avenue and Myrtle-Wyckoff, and from Jefferson Street you reach Union Square in about 20 minutes, with the 14th Street corridor connecting to a dozen other lines. Most Bushwick commutes land in the 30 to 40 minute range depending on transfers. The caveat is that the L takes periodic weekend suspensions between Brooklyn and Manhattan, so a room within reach of the M and J at Myrtle-Wyckoff, Knickerbocker Avenue or Central Avenue is worth more than the same room with only the L, and the Myrtle-Wyckoff area is the one spot that gives you both.
