Looking for an apartment share...

I'm looking for an apartment in the Ditmas/Kensington area for March 1 (flexible), ideally in a shared house (rather than an apartment) -- maybe even something with some outdoor space!

I'm a young professional/academic who is clean, quiet, and fiscally responsible. I've lived in Brooklyn for many years, and in NYC for a majority of my life. I like cycling, cooking, music, and many other things that we Brooklyn folk are normally into. I shop at the Park Slope Food Coop, don't play an instrument, and spend most of my days at the library or my office working on my thesis. I like to think I'm easy to live with and would be happy to provide references attesting to this fact.

If you've got a room opening up in March (or maybe a bit sooner, or a bit later), don't hesitate to give me a shout!

large room in 4br townhouse with artsy roommates

Hello! I am moving out of my 16'x11' bedroom on 2nd floor of 4BR / 2.5 bath limestone row house in Ditmas Park. I need someone to sublet for the remainder of my lease, which runs until April 1, but to be fair to the roommates who are still living there you must be willing to stay on past then as well. Which I am sure you will once you check the house out and meet the other roommates!

Your bedroom has a bay window with view of leafy backyard (which will be covered in ornamental cherry blossoms come May), a walk-in closet and smaller normal-sized closet. High ceilings and old-house details, hardwood floors. Washer and dryer in basement. First floor has foyer, kitchen, a huge living room with bay windows, and a dining room with sliding glass doors exiting into the backyard. The living room is furnished, but because of its size there's space for additional furniture if you want to bring yours.

Exclusive, fenced-in backyard for summer BBQs, gardening, etc.

The house is located on E23rd St. between Newkirk and Ditmas Aves., ~8 minute walk from Newkirk B/Q and 2/5 subways. Also right next to the B41, B48 and B8 bus routes.

Loc'n at edge of Caribbean neighborhood with excellent cheap eats. C-town grocery around the corner has great Asian sauces and Jamaican curry selection.

Three roommates, one guy and two ladies, late 20s to mid-30s in age. A painter and two poets.

Move in anytime, total rent = $600 / mo. until April 1 when my lease is up. You must be willing to sign a one year lease starting April 1. Rent at that point will be up to discussion with the remaining roommates, but likely in the $750 / mo range (total house rent is $2500, with two big bedrms and two little bedrms). Utils are split evenly between roommates and typically run about $100/mo each.

Please e-mail me at zeke.vermillion@gmail.com for details.
