Be my roommate: Live in a Cobble Hill apartment steps from transit and Trader Joe’s for $1400

To help our fellow New Yorkers on their hunt for a good roommate, we present "Be My Roommate." If you have an empty room you'd like to see featured here, get in touch with us at [email protected]! Meet Marie, a laid-back bookworm searching for a roommate for her Cobble Hill two-bedroom. Marie, a Florida native, moved to the neighborhood just over four years ago after a spending several years in Chicago and more than a year living out of a backpack in Central America. Up until a week ago, she shared her Brooklyn apartment with a friend who has since flown the coop to teach in Paris. This has left Marie with an extra bedroom, and for anyone looking for new digs, a great opportunity to live in one of the city's best neighborhoods.

Be my roommate: Live on a leafy Fort Greene block with a filmmaker for $1,000

To help our fellow New Yorkers on their hunt for a good roommate, we present "Be My Roommate." If you have an empty room you'd like to see featured here, get in touch with us at [email protected]! Meet Jonathan, a freelance filmmaker who hails from Texas looking for not one, but two roommates to share his huge Fort Greene apartment with. Jonathan has been in NYC for over six years and has always found himself in living collaboratively with folks in oversized spaces (he shared an artist's loft with eight other people at one point). Now that two of his current roommates are setting out on their own, he's on the hunt for two new folks to move into their rooms. This home hits all the right notes; not only is it located in one of Brooklyn's most coveted neighborhoods, but it's got some great historic details, it's blindingly bright and did we mention that it's gigantic? Believe us, you'd be hard pressed to find such a fantastic room—let alone two—in a 2,000-square-foot apartment at just $1000 a month.
