u/looking-for_room

Hi Redditors,

I’m searching for a private room in a shared apartment, with a move-in target of mid-May 2026. The timing is tight because I need to leave my current place sooner than planned, but I’m a stable, low-drama tenant and I’m not looking for anything fancy.

About me
• 24, male, full-time CUNY undergrad (Computer Science / Information Security, graduating May 2027)
• Bilingual English / French
• Employed part-time in tech retail in Manhattan, steady W-2 income, can show pay stubs
• Non-smoker, no pets, no parties, faith-oriented and quiet
• In bed by 11 most weeknights, gone most days between school and work
• Clean in shared spaces, respectful of other people’s stuff and quiet hours
What I’m looking for
• Private bedroom in a shared apartment (room with at least one window preferred)
• Budget: up to $900/month, all utilities included if possible
• Lease: month-to-month or short-term ideal, open to a 6 to 12 month lease if the place and roommates feel right
• Furnished or unfurnished both fine
• Location priority, in this order:
1. Harlem / Hamilton Heights / Washington Heights / Inwood (closest to my job at W 125th St)
2. South Bronx (Mott Haven, Concourse, Highbridge, Morrisania) on the 4/5/6/B/D
3. Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Flatbush if the room is right and commute under 50 min
4. Anywhere on the A/B/C/D/4/5/6 within 30 min of 125th St

What I bring as a tenant
• Rent on time, every month, no excuses
• References available from my current employer and a previous employer (Wells Fargo)
• Quiet schedule, gone most weekdays
• Easy to communicate with, no drama, no overnight guests outside the occasional weekend
What I’d like from you
• Real photos of the room and shared spaces
• Honest description of the other roommates (number, ages, schedules, vibe)
• Confirmation that the listing is from the actual leaseholder or owner, not a broker pushing a fee I can’t afford
• Willingness to do a video walkthrough first, then meet in person before any money changes hands
Happy to share more about myself once we connect.

DMs are open. Please no broker fee listings, no requests for deposits before an in-person viewing, no Zelle / CashApp / wire transfers up front.
