562 West 189th Street

This is an amazingly spacious 2-bedroom in a quiet building and chill block in Washington Heights! I'm a nursing student at Columbia who has truly loved living in this apartment and am sad to leave it, but have to relocate to care for a family member. I'm looking for someone to take over the remaining 6 months of my lease from March 1-August 30th, with the option to renew in September if you like - or keep it short-term! A very flexible situation.

I'm looking to part with a few larger furniture items, so the apartment can come partially furnished if you like! Or of course, fully empty if that's better for you.

Apartment details:
- 1st floor but NOT street-facing - makes it very quiet and peaceful :)
- Large common space + kitchen with open layout, hardwood floors, high ceilings
- 2 big bedrooms with closets - each can fit queen/king bed + desk + dresser (Note: I used one bedroom as an office instead, as you can see in the pictures)
- Full bathroom
- Laundry on-site
- Live-in super is very reachable and friendly
- Lease is thru a management company and property manager is super helpful + easy to communicate with
- Heat/water is paid by owner!
- Wi-Fi is $60 a month, and gas/electric is about ~$80
- Small and quiet building - 4 floors, 2-4 units per floor - mostly families, older folks, and a couple of Columbia or Yeshiva students

Location:
- 189th St off of St. Nicholas Ave.
- 1 train: 191st station is 1.5 blocks away (get to NYP/CUIMC in less than 10 minutes)
- A train: 184th st entrance (181st st station) is a 7 min walk
- The incredible Fort Tryon Park + the Cloisters is a 15-minute walk away

Requirements/Next Steps:
If interested after viewing the apt, you would submit an application to management. If accepted, you'll be signing a 6 month lease re-assignment (for 3/1-8/31/21). Management is asking for applicants that can demonstrate an income of 40x rent OR apply with a guarantor who makes 80x. They'll also ask for $20 app fee and run a credit check. I applied with a guarantor and demonstrated income in the form of my grad school loan stipend so they are willing to work with you!

Shoot me an email if you're interested. Please mention a little bit about yourself & whether you'd be able to demonstrate 40x income or apply with a guarantor. If it seems like a good fit, we can absolutely set up a COVID-cautious in-person tour. I may want to have a quick phone/zoom chat before the in-person tour if that's okay with you.

Be in touch! :)

This apartment's rent is 33.95% cheaper than the median rent of $2,990 for a 2-bedroom apartment in Washington Heights, 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 $1,975. Both cats and dogs are allowed, but as always, double check with the manager about any specific pet concerns you may have. 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).
