2013 FT Roommate Thread
I came across a similar thread from a few years ago and as I am looking for a roommate/roommates for full time I thought this may be useful. If you are still looking, it'd be helpful to share the following information:
City: NYC
Preferred Areas: Midtown (east, west), Murray Hill, Gramercy, overall fairly open as long as it's near a subway
Start Date: Late July
Lease Start: Prefer mid June-early July
Position: FT Analyst - Elite Boutique
Total Roommates: 2-4
Your Gender: Male
Roommate Gender: No preference
Budget: up to 1700 (lower is better)
Contact: PM
Best of luck on 1700 in Murray Hill.
You realize that is likely per person, which is fine........ Unless prices have rocketed up in last six months in Murray Hill
assuming he isn't living alone, that's definitely doable. 1500 in murray hill with 2 roommates is easy enough
Position: FT Analyst - Elite Boutique
Don't say elite, kind of makes you sound like a dbag.
Just trying to help you out
not that I care
Is it necessary to specify "Elite Boutique"? If you're going that far, might as well write "Think LAZ/EVR/Centerview" for the lulz =)
Nothing wrong with saying Elite Boutique. It gives a better idea of the hours. You can't say the hrs at an elite are the same as at a regional boutique.
exactly. i wasn't trying to "prove" anything just saw it in the past years thread and everyone was commenting that way. my bad if that sounds douchey but I think it helps people who are serious about looking for roomies out
1700 is plenty with 2-4 roommates like the original post said. I would advise you to stay out of midtown, it sucks dick.
What sucks about living in midtown? Where else would you suggest that has a quick commute to midtown?
Astoria is a great place, you walk to the bridge to Midtown or hop on E or F 7 etc, its a cheaper than Manhattan, but not by much since its becoming the Dumbo of Queens.

They can afford it, but you probably don't want a third or more of your income going to rent.

Anyone still looking for a place? I have an apartment that costs only $1200 a month, in a great location (Upper East Side, 83rd and 3rd). One of the guys knows the landlord so he got us a discount on the rent.
It's a 5 bedroom, 2 (full) bathroom apartment with decent sized rooms, a kitchen, living room, etc. We have 4 people and are looking for a fifth. Twelve month lease starting immediately. Roommates are two bankers, another finance guy and a paralegal. Message me for details.
lol that's not a discount on rent in the upper east with 5 people living there.
I have a stuytown apartment (monthly rent is $1500 per person) and am looking for two male roommates. Its a two bedroom apartment converted to three. The apartment has the "classic" finish as listed on the stuytown website if you want to get an idea of what it looks like. PM me if interested. The lease has to be re-signed by mid July.

I know it'd be rare for anyone to move in towards the end of summer/early fall, but it's worth a shot! also, prices will probably decrease in the fall.
Realize this is late to the game and probably a long shot, but I'm looking for a roommate for a July 31/Aug 1 move-in. Either doing that or getting a studio due to time crunch.
