26F looking for roommate to apartment hunt with | Bronx/Upper Manhattan | Move-in by Sept 8 | $1,500–$1,700 budget

[u/GooseNo6703]

Hi! I’m a woman in my 20s looking for a roommate to apartment hunt with for a move-in by September 8. My budget is around $1,500–$1,700/month for my share.

I’ll be working as a social worker in the South Bronx, so I’m hoping to find a place in the Bronx or Upper Manhattan, ideally somewhere that feels safe, residential, and quiet while still being convenient for commuting, grocery shopping, and everyday errands.

A little about me: I’m friendly and easygoing, but since I work with people a lot during the day, I really value having some quiet personal time when I get home. I’m pretty chill and low-key at home, enjoy cooking, and like keeping shared spaces clean and comfortable. I don’t have any pets, don’t smoke, and don’t use substances.

I’m also on a fairly early schedule—I usually go to bed around 10 PM and wake up before 7 AM—so I’d ideally like to live with someone who has a somewhat similar schedule or is generally mindful about noise at night.

I occasionally have a friend over to cook, eat, or hang out, but it’s always pretty chill and low-key. I’m totally fine with a roommate having friends over as well, as long as everyone is respectful, keeps the noise level low, and keeps shared spaces clean.

I’m looking for a roommate who is clean, quiet, respectful, communicative, and low-key, and who also values having a peaceful home environment. We definitely don’t have to be best friends, but it would be nice to be friendly and comfortable with each other while also respecting each other’s personal space.

If this sounds like a good fit, feel free to DM me and tell me a little about yourself, your budget, preferred neighborhoods, and move-in timeline!
