34-56 10th Street

Hello to you,

There is a room available in my apartment, on the border between Long Island City and Astoria, in Queens. Manhattan is only a short subway ride away.

There are 2 dogs also here, so you must be comfortable around dogs. You must be a non-smoker.


THE ROOM AND APARTMENT

- Comfortable, private room for one individual, male or female. (No sleepover guests, sorry!)
- the area is quiet. You will sleep well!
- room comes with bed, desk, chair, closet for clothes and storage space (or I can remove the furniture, if you prefer)
- bathroom is shared with hot water 24 hours a day, shower / bathtub. You'll have your own drawer for storage.
- wifi is fast and reliable. Great if you are in a 'work from home' situation.
- you will have access to a washing machine and dryer in the kitchen.
- there is heating in wintertime, air conditioning in summertime. AC is centrally controlled and generally kept at 76 degrees Fahrenheit.
- kitchen access and use for cooking your meals incl. stove, microwave, toaster, sink, shared refrigerator, your own cupboard, your own shelf in refrigerator and in freezer section. You therefore have access to your bedroom, the kitchen and the living room. Please wash your own dishes after cooking.



ROOMMATES + DOGS

- share the apartment with me (the man in the video) and one other roommate, who rents the other room in the video.
- currently there are 2 small dogs also living in this apartment. (see photo) So you MUST like dogs and be comfortable around them, otherwise this is NOT the apartment for you. Both are toilet trained and of good temperament once they adjust to you. I'll help you make friends with anyway. (Nothing like a few bacon treats to win a dog over to your side!). The dogs know to stay out of your room. If you are not 'a dog person' and not comfortable being around dogs, this is NOT the right accommodation for you. If, on the other hand, you like dogs, then you will be in doggie heaven and enjoy the interaction of having them around.



NEARBY AMENITIES
- there are 4 x supermarkets within 10 mins walk (Bravo, Trade Fair, Key Foods, CostCo).
- bodega / deli / convenience store around the corner (2 mins walk)
- Rainey Park (3 mins walk, see photo) https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/rainey-park-q048 though it's closed currently for renovations and scheduled to re-open Summer 2024.
- Roosevelt Island (6 mins walk): nice loop for a jog or a walk or a nice cycle or ride the cablecar across into Manhattan.



TRANSPORTATION
- The walk to the subway is about 10 minutes (or take a bus). The nearest subway stop: 36th Avenue station or Broadway station (both are the N or W train = yellow line). To take the subway from '36 avenue' station to Times Square in the center of Manhattan is about 15 - 20 minutes, station to station. Very convenient by New York standards!
- there is a NYC Ferry nearby (Astoria stop on the 'Astoria route' ) which can either bring you across to Manhattan's Upper East Side area very quickly (3 minute ferry ride) or south, down to East 34th Street ferry station (15 mins) or all the way down to Wall Street ferry station (20 mins).

HOUSEHOLD RULES

Many problems can be avoided just by clarifying expectations in advance. In this way everyone knows what is and isn't OK. So here we go:

- Sorry, no overnight guests (friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, one-night stands). If you're looking for 'party city', this is not the right room for you. But if you're looking for a reliable, friendly, calm and quiet accommodation, this is perfect.
- For security purposes, I will require a photocopy of your drivers' license or passport. We like to know who is living with us!
- Non-smokers only! This doesn't just mean 'Please do not smoke in the room'. It means outside on the street too. I prefer not to have a tenant who will be going in and out, in and out multiple times each day to smoke. So non-smokers only!
- No blasting any loud music, please.
- Don't stay up all night please. No loud telephone calls or banging around pots and pans and cooking after 11 pm at night.



COST

- Rent is $800 per month.
- Utilities: we split the bill (electricity and gas) 3 ways, 33% each. I will give you a copy of the bill from each month to examine, so you can see the calculations. Wireless WiFi internet is free. There will be no further costs besides that.
- Deposit: $200 deposit is required before moving in just in case of any possible damages in the future. This will be re-paid to you once you move out and I've received keys back and inspected the room to ensure no damage took place. (I've never had to keep anyone's deposit, just one time deduct a few dollars to pay for replacement keys which a previous sub-letter had lost)



NEXT STEPS

Please share a little information about yourself:
- who you are / age / employment / work from home or work in workplace?
- how soon you are looking to move in?
- how long?

I'm looking to rent this room out immediately or as soon as possible. Please include a contact telephone number and your own email address in your response, so I can contact you faster if we have questions or need to clarify something.

We can also do a Zoom call too, if you'd like to chat first before visiting.

Contact me and I'll send over a link to the walkthrough video.

This apartment's rent is 58.97% cheaper than the median rent of $1,950 for a studio apartment in Astoria, New York, NY.

The median is solely based on the area and the number of bedrooms. Listing-specific characteristics such as the number of bathrooms and the amenities will also impact the price.

The apartment is a unit offered at a monthly price of $800. The person posting the listing did not specify that any pets were allowed. It may be the case that pets are ok and the manager simply has not yet filled out all the details. This is a No Fee apartment, meaning the manager or agent should not ask you for a broker fee (there may still be deposits and other move-in fees paid to the landlord).

We have 7 photos of this particular unit, building, and surrounding areas.
