Hey all! Our small room in a 3BR East Village apartment is available immediately to sign a year-long lease for 6/1 start date. Full disclosure—it’s smaller and minimalist, but I’ve lived in this room and really love it! It’s cozy, bright, and has a ton of natural light, perfect if you’re okay with something smaller but want a lower rent.

Details:

• Rent: $1,898
• Utilities: Typically $30-$80 per person (Depending on season)
• WiFi: $20 per person
• Elevator building
• Laundry in basement
• Great location between Stuy Town and Union Square—super close to groceries, restaurants, and places to go out

Looking for someone respectful, clean, and easygoing. If this sounds like you, send me a message ASAP and tell us a bit about yourself.

This room is a hidden gem for anyone okay with a smaller space, so if interested please reach out!

Hi everyone -- putting this out here in hopes it can reach the right people. I’m attempting to stay in the only area I’ve called home here. I have been looking for a while but been having a tough time with brokers (I’m sure they are swamped). Usually I’ve found places through friends so I wanted to reach out to a wider circle. 

I’m looking for a decent studio or 1br in Gowanus, Park Slope, South Slope, or Windsor Terrace, with move-in anytime between now and July 1, 2026. My budget is $2200-ish (I'm aware of the limit here....). I’m also open to nearby areas like Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Prospect Heights, Prospect Lefferts, Crown Heights.

If you (or someone you know) are planning to move out during that timeframe, I’d be happy to pay you one month’s rent directly if the apartment is a fit, as a thank-you / moving-cost-cushion. (If the apartment is less than $2k I'll just send you $2k straight.) I’d much rather it go straight to a neighbor than to another broker fee. 

Info about me:

• 1 tenant (me!)
• 785 credit
• 103k income
• non-smoker
• no pets
• flexible move-in
• looking for an apartment, not a room or a short term sublet, i want to get my name on that lease!

I'm in the area and have an open schedule for viewing any apartments. If you DM I’ll send my phone number to call/facetime/send pics, etc. Please feel free to message me if you’re moving and please pass along to anyone who knows someone who is. Really appreciate it.

Hi,

I’m an incoming student for Fall 2026, and I’m looking at Outpost Coliving, which seems to be a pretty good option. Maybe too good to be true? Anyone lived in their community before? What’s your experience like?

Hi my gf and I are looking for an apartment or a room with a move in date of May 1st (or earlier). Not picky about the neighborhood at all just hoping for somewhere in Brooklyn. We both have good credit and make about 100k combined. We’d like an apartment but are not against splitting a room. Budget is 2,200 max. Thanks in advance

Areas: UWS, UES, Greenwich Village, North Williamsburg, Greenpoint, NoHo, but open to others!

Budget: $4,000 but ideally less

Dates: April 31/May 1, 2026 - July 31, 2026 (Flexible)

Furnished!

Thank you so much :)

Is anyone else getting stuck in an infinite loop with the StreetEasy "Press & Hold" bot check?

I’m trying to browse listings and every two minutes it hits me with the human verification. I do the "press and hold," it thinks for a second, and then just says "Please try again" or gives me a new Reference ID. I literally can't even get past the landing page at this point.

Is this happening to anyone else today or is it just my browser? I’ve already tried clearing my cache but no luck.

Firstly, this is my third time apartment hunting in NYC and I am not a complete stranger to our limited and extreme niche of a market right now, so please go easy on the snark.

Me and my boyfriend who have rented together with two other roommates for 1.5 years are looking to move out independently. We feel as though we are ready for the independence and privacy (it also looks to be an especially tough market for a couple who wants to room with only one other roommate, which we were originally considering). We are willing to pay upwards of 1k each for our own studio or 1 bed, but that’s a hard limit.

It was a possibility to move with my boyfriends family, but due to timing of our leases, we need to be out of our apartment sooner than them, and it wouldn’t line up unless we lived in a hotel or airbnb’s for 3 months (which we are mildly considering at this point - I’ve searched lightly but maybe I’m searching in the right places so any help is appreciated)

Therefore, we are looking to move out around the dreaded August 1 deadline. It’s going to be difficult as hell and we’re preparing for it. We’re hoping to have around 3k each saved up and we are working on getting our credit scores to at least 650. We also have one parent each that can provide guarantor assistance (one makes 50k the other makes 120k). We are students and we work as much as we can and I’m working on picking up a second job. Our combined income would be around 220k with each of us making 25k as full time students. We’re also living in Brownsville at the moment so we’re clearly willing to live anywhere, as long as it’s affordable and not disgusting.

I guess I’m just looking for advice from people who know the market a bit better since the last time I moved (2 years ago) or anyone who is in a similar situation. Is there any other website other than street easy and Craigslist we should keep an eye on? Any certain approach or things to say when applying as a low income couple? It would also be helpful to know any new scams or things to avoid when apartment hunting with these new laws. I’ve also heard that you shouldn’t offer up your credit score if asked and only when applying, but if there’s any other information we shouldn’t or should offer up. We are wondering if renting individual rooms at 800/each in a 3 bedroom with a third roommate would be more ideal opposed to sharing a bedroom, but again, it comes down to how little people are willing to live with a young couple.

I apologize if any questions have been answered before, I’m just trying to find others who understand that we are young, in college, and trying to make ends meet without parents to live with. Thank you for reading, we appreciate it a lot and community building is the way we keep native New Yorkers in New York. 💝

Hi neighbors,

I'm looking for a 2bd apartment in central Brooklyn within a 15 min walk of Bergen and Underhill (school) in Prospect Heights.

I'm looking in North slope, Crown Heights, Prospect Heights.

This is for myself and my two boys who go to school in the neighborhood.

My landlord just informed me that they're not renewing my lease and I'm on my own to deal with all of this and would appreciate any and all help to look for a safe, clean place for my kiddos.

I've lived in this neighborhood for almost 9 years and I'm looking for a place to call home long term. I'm very quiet and travel a good amount for work. Great job, 800+ credit score.

- budget is under $4200, ideally under $3900

- rent stabilized apartment

- can be a very large 1bd, if it's bigger in terms of sq ft

- must have dishwasher and a real kitchen

- must be quiet

- a little outdoor space for my flowers would be amazing.. I'll give them up if I really have to

Luckily my moving time is very flexible - any time between May 31 and August.

If you or someone you know is moving, please reach out!

hey i’m looking to sublet an apt while i’m between homes. my lease is up in may and i’m buying a condo that doesn’t seem like it’ll be ready for me to move into by that time so i need a place to stay from mid may to mid july.

i’m 40m, clean, and quiet. i have two cats who will need to stay with me during this time.

Forgive whatever typos come out of this, I'm fuming. I've been subletting in an apartment since February of 2025. My roommate is annoying in some ways, but fine, nothing that has been a MAJOR issue. Today she told me that I would need to move out because her sister is moving to the city MAY 15 and needs to live in my room. My roommate is planning to move back to her hometown come October, and her sister, I guess, will move back with her. But she told me today, April 10. I'm just??? How can you just say I have to leave because your sister needs my room? It's incredibly inappropriate, awkward, and strange. Thankfully, I'm from the city, and my family lives here, but deep in Brooklyn, away from the life I have built. It's fine, I can move back, but again FUMING. I can;t understand how she has justified this in her mind. The crazy thing is, I think she thinks it's not a big deal or something.

I don't desire to fight with her over the space, but I KNOW it's wrong. She's also sent me some listings that she had been looking for because she thinks it's the nice thing to do. Since I've lived here, btw, I have had 0 direct contact with the landlord. It's kind of a shitty building, and because I've been living under a sublet, I guess my roommate has been handling all of that directly when it comes to repair,etc, etc. I say that to say, I just don't even know if it's worth trying to reach out to them about this, OR fight with my roommate over what is essentially an eviction with months' notice.

Should I just hex her?
